Hmm this is cool but what are the practical use cases?

It didn’t load first time round on my browser (Brave) without disabling its prevent tracking feature…

Claude Opus 4.8 one-shotted it... I think we should gear these systems towards making the cost of abuse expensive as they will be able to get around these things more and more easily.

Siri AI is a mouthful… they should have kept it simple and stuck with Siri

Just tried it and it doesn't work... won't let me create a new task as the repo selection is disabled... works fine on my laptop on the other hand and have been using it for some time.

In my case, I was curious about my ancestry and Nepal doesn't currently have an equivalent of an ancestry.com therefore the best source of the information is my family themselves while they're still alive.

I was surprised myself how engaged my family have been with the bot. And equipped with the knowledge of our family history, it is able to ask deeply informed follow up questions! I would recommend trying it!

I called my parents, told them about the idea, they never even had Telegram before we started this project but they especially joined when they learnt that I was trying to build a family history. They are native Nepalese speakers therefore the system promptensured that the bot always responds to their questions and answers in Nepalese.

Why does it have to be black and white? Why can't a bot do the exploration and notetaking along with people in the channel?

Btw my family know they are talking to the bot and they know that the bot is taking notes for our benefit. And I am in the channel and I enjoy reading those stories myself and would have never thought to ask those questions myself. Sometimes I ask the follow up questions myself too...

I’ve also found it useful for personal stuff. For example I have my OpenClaw bot in a family group on Telegram and everyday it asks my family members stories from their lives that it meticulously documents and uses as a basis for further questions in the future and has so far managed to build a rich family history spanning 50 odd family members (a project I had always been planning to do for never found the time to).

Isn't the whole idea of "home brew" to enable hackers and enthusiasts to easily share what they built?

brtkwr — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 07:13:11 +0000

My first thought was: yet another memory architecture for Claude. But the concept is quite cool. I’m not sure I’ll use it for Claude for I told my OpenClaw instance to copy the idea and setup a cronjob.

Vapes are possibly the worst things invented since cigarettes.

only 80 more repos need 100000 stars and all lines would be equal! e.g.

1 : 14946505

10 : 1196622

100 : 213026

1000 : 28944

10000 : 1847

100000 : 100

Hasn’t someone rewritten ripgrep in rust by now? C’mon it’s 2026. Oh wait it was written in Rust (back in 2016).
