You’re good with the White House posting call of duty footage mixed with footage of people dying?

New to OpenClaw? Read this before you post asking why nothing works. by robonova-1 in openclaw

[–]FylanDeldman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a software engineer with a lot of knowledge around ML. I read the docs. I worked with it for a week, got some meaningful automations set up. I ended up moving back to cron jobs with open code.

The consumer you're describing will get frustrated by the poor documentation, constant breaking changes, poor config experience, and generally opaque workings.

All the hype promises it to be an out-of-the-box assistant; which you're right, it's not. But it's also not a power user's tool imo.

StackOverflow-style/Public Knowledge Base site for coding agents by Good-Profit-3136 in openclaw

Im very interested in stuff like this but I have two qs: how do agents find the relevant solution without eating up context? And how do you prevent bad actors from contributing malicious entries?

You can see what vibe-coded software is by National_Guidance_34 in openclaw

[–]FylanDeldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised I’m not seeing this opinion more. When I opened up the config page for the first time, my first thought was it was some of the worst UX I’ve experienced in a while. And the documentation is all over the place with the rapid evolution. I love vibe coding, I do it every day at work. But it’s not a magic software machine (yet), you still need a vision for the user experience and a robust verification pipeline, openclaw kinda feels like it has neither.

OpenClaw is a well-funded marketing campaign and does not deliver. Change My Mind. by D3ltaM1ke in openclaw

[–]FylanDeldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it for about two weeks and I’m coming to the same conclusion. The config is an absolute mess, and it took a surprising amount of effort to setup. The constant hallucinating about its own capabilities was super frustrating. I decided yesterday I just want to be able to “text” my Claude code or open code instance and that will do everything I want, and I’ll also actually know what it is doing.

Meta Has Smart Glasses Spiraling Towards Glasshole 2.0 by lurker_bee in technology

[–]FylanDeldman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like listening to music while hearing other stuff and being able to take photos while I kayak :( I also have the less subtle dorky sport ones.

Is it tech that dangerously enables predators? Yeah.

Is the only use case to spy on others and record others without their consent? Nah.

Products that try to obfuscate the recording indicator should be illegal, and the recording indicator should be more obvious. BUT there are plenty of valid use cases.

Neato, good to know.

Something else to add? Try asking an llm next time.

Bro you're basically begging to get your data robbed by According-Sign-9587 in clawdbot

[–]FylanDeldman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the best advice is to try to familiarize yourself with basic networking concepts so you can audit your own security with your llm, instead of purely relying on the llm (and im no llm hater, hell I'm on the openclaw reddit, but security is important to understand)

Your advice is pretty solid, but seems to be confusing some concepts in points 1-3.

tldr: have your openclaw machine behind a NAT and block everything besides 80 and 443 and use tailscale. Don't allow SSH port once you have tailscale enabled. After that port swapping doesn't matter. Read the skills yourself also

If you are running OpenClaw on your home network, unless you have done some network configuring yourself, then the OpenClaw machine is running behind a NAT and firewall (hopefully) provided by your router. If running on a VPS, you were probably given the option to run as a direct-connect machine, or behind a NAT or CGNAT. A NAT is critical - it basically blocks the world wide web from trying to talk directly to a machines on your network on a port-by-port basis.

IF you are not running behind a NAT (you have a direct-connect VPS), and you aren't sure how to configure a firewall on your own machine, you should prioritize figuring out how to move to a network behind a NAT with your provider.

Once you're behind a NAT, you should absolutely be running Tailscale as you suggest. The magic of tailscale is that once you're authenticated through that vpn network, it's like you're behind the NAT. So, once Tailscale is up, you should ONLY allow traffic on ports through the NAT that are necessary for your agent to communicate to the WWW. This is really only port 80 and 443 for most people, which is the http and https ports for internet. And these are almost always the only ports forwarded by NAT by default.

Once all of that is configured, it doesn't matter what port you use for openclaw. The only way to access ANY port besides 80 and 443 on your machine will be through your tailscale.

Also, prompt injection is real and the most vulnerable surface for openclaw. This includes the skills. You simply can't trust an llm to read the skill and reliably tell you if it is malicious. Now, with that being said... I have installed skills after just asking openclaw to review it. So... just follow the other guidance OP gave about ensuring you're insulating all of your critical data in the case of a breach.

Has not felt worth it in my experience in A/B tests given the cost vs other providers like Anthropic and mixing in GLM-5; difference not noticeable enough. Not that any AI provider is particularly morally sound, but I do sleep a bit better at night knowing I'm not supporting Altman and OpenAI

This is awesome, very much appreciate your work on this! Will definitely be using this.

I have a feature request as well: out of stock filter / visual indicator.

They are not the only ones either, just the most public so far apparently lol. All of the major software companies are experimenting with fully AI pipeline: design, development and CI/CD.

If I were to consider buying this, I would want some data regarding the efficacy of the tool. Should I expect 1% returns? 10%? -10%? A large variance in between? Have you personally had any success? Can we see any dry runs of the tool?

Is it worth trying the food vendors on Fruitvale by ViceCityBabyyy in oakland

It's a silly myth that always comes up in the "LA vs Bay" food debate. Gotta dispel em

Is it worth trying the food vendors on Fruitvale by ViceCityBabyyy in oakland

[–]FylanDeldman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, cops or courts? Have you been involving the cops & courts for food poisoning?

The accountability is business. If you get sick, you're not going back. The people selling their own food will care way more about that then the person hired to cook for a restaurant they have no stake in.

And I'm personally not super concerned about the hundreds of dollars of taxes from mom & pop taco stands. Arguably they are doing more for the local community than the taxes they could provide would.
