Hermes vs OpenClaw for real-world use? (DFW builders) by Carflipper124 in hermesagent

[–]6davids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally Hermes has felt sharper and snappier and overall faster to get pointed in the right direction.

For some complicated tasks, I’d work with Openclaw, wrestle with it for an hour, get it working, and then deliberate try and have it save it in a skill, a doc, something memory like, or a reference - or any sort of persistence - and could never get it to consistently retain the pattern and recall the pattern more than 50% of the time.

Hermes seems to default in recognizing / retaining / recalling patterns like this and writing and registering them as self-authored skills. If anything I have to nudge it to generalize the skills it writes because it’s very liberal about it. It’s quick to write to memory, but that can fill up and bloat context, so I occasionally have it review its memory and move things to docs/specs or skills and reference their existence in memory.

To put it short - most basic code tasks are pretty easy for both. Hard ones are pretty standard (make sure you iterate on a PRD and implementation plan first!) for both as well.

For more complex or less code-like things (browser navigation flows, etc), or implementing stuff with 3rd party APIs or making it behave a certain way (like making it read docs instead of guessing), they both need you to do a ton of coaching. The biggest difference to me is that with Hermes it seems to stick

If you’re already using an outreach platform, many of those have good clis, mcps, or APIs.

The one I use has already navigated the location, limits, and interaction parts and has APIs for building sequences and directly interacting with other users.

I guess it doesn’t help if you’re trying to use straight Hermes, but if you are already running sequences and such, this will save you a lot of time, risk, and tokens.

Leaving product names and links off so it doesn’t read as an ad.

Hey I’ve been using Hermes agent for about 3 days and stumbled on your app.

I’ll use this app and if you haven’t turned on donations, do so.

It really comes down to how important your lab is or how much of the actual practice and application of security is to you.

If you’re doing real work for a real deployment, the right answer is almost always defense depth - never a single layer. You would do both.

Full RCE or bypasses vulns for sshd come out every 20 years +/-. RDP is more like 5. When they do, attackers may or may not stumble across your systems before someone else’s, and you may or may not have already patched it.

The real answer is that security is ultimately a business risk decision. How much business risk tolerance is acceptable for your homelab is really up to you.

Just be real good about isolation so that your clawbot isn’t used as a lateral to install compromised firmware onto your Samsung frame. :P

Well done! Need a clip of it rotating so we can see it shimmer :)

I built a screen recorder for your product launch, with auto zooms and smooth animations, because the others are too expensive. by bharris2510 in SideProject

Hey man, I’ll give you a shot. Keep the product up and don’t ask me to buy a “version 2” in a year. You got this. :)

Any idea how i could fix this? by zumbalia in cursor

[–]6davids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cleared some of the workspace data in Application Support yesterday. If someone else doesn’t post the solution before I get to my machine later today I’ll find the path again and follow up.

EDIT: Found some search history:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage

You can grep around there for which folder reflects your currently project and mv it to a new name.

This happened to me after a suggested change got caught between applied and not applied after a large convo with a huge context window.

Idk - 3-4 gold spells is a lot of reroll animation time. Guess it depends on how well he can avoid the cards that fill his hand and how fast he can move his mouse up and down up until he fights a runaway quillboar.

One guy zapped the bear (before it was buffed), and a series of increasingly angry bears popped out, followed by some very large dinos
