    Chuck Norris did not die. He was just sick of death being too afraid to come for him, so he went to meet it. I just wonder... what if he killed it?

    And it sounds so knowledgeable and authoritative in its replies. And i like being told "great idea"... OK, that is a joke i don't like it that much coming from a mindless agent. Bu…

    Are AI Agents like von Hammerstein's industrious and stupid?

    "I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and ind…

    OK, not scary at all. What kind of tasks do they tackle? I would love i if they could scare my mother by making Max Headroom appear on her TV screen in the middle of her novela.

    i started working with this two weeks ago, so im learning as i go (or should i say stumble and fall). Weird as it may sound what i found so trustworthy at the beginning, it sounded…

    keeping context is a thing that they are bad at. For now, i admit, but they are. Given a long haul goal with instructions and everything they will reinvent the wheel four times and…

    I don't use ChatGPT, but i've been using an agent with Claude Sonnet 4. My answer may not be useful to you, but i'll talk about my experience with that and hope it may help you. So…

    OK, here's an update: i uploaded the dataset is on HuggingFace — 51k labeled headlines across 35 assets (commodities, FX, indices, crypto), with asset-specific inversion context. S…

    Happy to answer questions about the catalog methodology or the inference approach. Also i implemented automated inversion hypothesis as a mechanism to confirm or reject.

    Show HN: Swik – catalog of asset-specific sentiment inversions for financial NLP

    tried to do financial sentiment analysis but kept hitting the same wall with FinBERT: "OPEC cuts production" scores negative. For crude oil it should be bullish — less supply means…

    Enjoyers of journey vs enjoyers of destination! What a brilliant idea. I realize i enjoy the destination. And i await impatiently to finish the journey to enjoy that place that was…

    I must agree on this. And it opened my eyes. I realize that I enjoy the destination more than the journey. I'm impacient, and have that destination in my minds eye all the time and…

    I'm loving the experience and i also realize that this part of me, the one which could write code is obsolete. Completely. Utterly obsolete. OK, so first i need to admit that i am …

    Infrastructure management mostly — cron scheduling, DB migrations, nginx configs, log analysis. Things I know how to do but that are slow to type out. But the learning is there: I'…

    I haven't tackled payments, but I've run an agent with SSH access to a production server and real API keys for a few weeks. The trust question you're circling ("would you trust an …

    I think you have a point. The credential part feels like a solved problem — auth-proxying has been around for a while. What seems genuinely new to me is the approval layer, the ide…

    A problem i have is that the agent's mental model of the system im building diverges from reality over time. After discussing that many times and asking it to remember, it becomes …

    The "deny list is a fool's errand" framing is exactly right. I've been running an AI agent with broad filesystem and SSH access and the failure mode (so far) isn't the agent doing …

    The model choice matters a lot for cost. I've been running a production NLP pipeline on OpenClaw using Claude Haiku exclusively — it's roughly 25x cheaper than Opus for inference t…
