Every time you run this it creates a new sandbox. No instructions about how to restart an existing one, nor now to stop it.

The included script is hardcoded to gavriel's machine

# start-nanoclaw.sh — Start NanoClaw without systemd

cd "/Users/gavriel/nanoclaw-sandbox-workspace"

Why are we upvoting this? If this was an open source normal project post it would get downvoted for poor quality.

This doesn't even work.

`curl -fsSL https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes.sh | bash`

Creating sandbox... unknown flag: --name

https://nanoclaw.dev/install-docker-sandboxes.sh

It looks like it requires a min version of docker, but it didn't check that version. The link to https://docs.docker.com/sandbox/ in the .sh is wrong.

The post should also have a link to the source of the .sh and where it's github issues are at.

Yeah, the Claws are starring the repo, obviously.

I watched some youtube video where they got complete beginners to animate a character jumping across a canyon gap. No skills, no muscle memory, constant struggling. The character looks like a rag doll. Then the professional does it and she's playing with the arc of the jump, adding emotion to the jump, adding little details like turning the head back for a reaction shot. She's playing with it, and explaining her thoughts and having fun. That really shows how much artistic skill there is involved. It's not just "automation". It's like brush strokes, but applied to splines and velocity curves and shaders.

People don't understand that about music either. We may use sequencers and automation, but the work happens in real time, and it is an instrument that we are playing. It's just that we work at a higher level than just playing something on a keyboard.

Electronic music is also very closely related to computer animation. Animated film technology is much more advanced, but a lot of techniques are similar.

The window losing focus but OP reports is due to this:

Which would only happen if you are using it wireless.

It happened to me this morning.

Do you have a logitech mouse? If so you need to reinstall the logi and/or G Hub apps. The cert changed and that's what's causing it to fail and keep grabbing focus away. Incredibly strange bug.

New comment by crucialfelix in "Efficient method to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere"

> Solar panel imports will reduce fuel imports. The savings from avoiding diesel can repay the cost of a solar panel within six months in Nigeria, and even less in other countries. > The solar panels imported into Sierra Leone in the last 12 months, would generate electricity equivalent to 61% of the total reported 2023 electricity generation.

A lot of people simply dont have electricity. They don't have grids. Night comes, it's dark. People are buying solar panels to get electricity directly. Now they can recharge lights during the day.

> China and India continue to build huge amounts of coal power.

One factor here is finance: companies make more money building coal plants. Banks loan the money so they can make money. Solar isn't as lucrative. It's the cheapest source of energy.

G+ died because it was clown colored google product, not a communal space for people. It was technology without any aesthetic that made you want to be there.

Myspace was hilarious because it was such a mess. The people owned it, hacked the css. Every profile page was a messy real person.

They don't have ads, it's paid members only. You can see other people's images, including the prompts, so it's an interesting way to learn what works, and to mutate prompts and images. There are many ways of recombining or breeding images.

They have an onboarding flow where you rate images and it tunes into your aesthetic preferences. You can create mood boards for specific projects.

So I would say it's more community than social media.

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI.

That's a direct copy of what Midjourney has done already.

Many people are just playing with images and the distinctive styles that Midjourney (the model) seems to have developed. It's also trained by ratings and people's interactions.

When you make images you can dial down the "aesthetic".

Usually the tricks and problems in a codebase are not in the codebase at all, they are in somebody's head.

It would be helpful if I had a long rambling dialogue with a chat model and it distilled that.

- Minecraft - Roblox - LittleBigPlanet - Mario Maker

This is what kids do to be creative.

Slightly more serious (and therefore less succesful): - Logo/Turtle Graphics - Scratch - HyperStudio

HyperCard was both graphic design and hypertext (links). These two modalities got separated, and I think there are practical reasons for that. Because html/css design actually sucks and never became an amateur art form.

For writing and publishing we got Wiki, Obsidian et al, Blogs (RIP), forums, social media. Not meant to be interactive or programmable, but these fulfill people's needs for publishing.

Yes! I used FileMaker a lot, and built my first journaling system with it. Like a cross between hypercard and a wiki. It really changed my life and this lead to programming.
