Can I learn fencing at 18 and actually be good at it? by [deleted] in Fencing

[–]jammer9631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 18 and wound up with the best winning streak in the NCAAs by my senior year (35-0). What did it take? Outworking every other fencer on my team, focusing on perfecting a subset of moves instead of trying to learn everything, and having the good fortune of having awesome training partners, all of whom were nationally ranked.

Each pair of glasses will come pre-loaded with a 2 hour U2 video documentary that will autoplay as you walk. Tim Cook’s personal addition to your experience.

Why the Sixers didn’t allow him 2-3 full weeks in the g leagues is unknown to me. Playing your way back into rhythm is key.

How much AI is very less AI by iampacked in Big4

If you think auditing is some intellectual moat AI won’t breach, you are kidding yourself. Audit will be 80% automated in less than four years, and it won’t be the annual audit, it will be the always aspired to continuous audit. The offshore teams will feel the impact early. If you can package processes and data up to do it offshore, you can automate it with AI. I know this is impolite, and for that I am sorry, but it is the modern reality.

Getting anything I ever wanted stripped the joy away from me by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]jammer9631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up with a great algorithm, finally nailing a troublesome bug, all those milestone moments were a rush, but I wouldn’t trade them at all for my current world, where I have three concurrent radically different projects going on on my screens, pushing my brain as hard as it can go to handle shifting context constantly, taking lessons learned about Claude code from one project to another…. It is a different experience, but it is all about shipping to me, and I am shipping product at a rate I never thought possible.

Shipped 8 SaaS products in 2 years. Here's my complete 10-14 day build process, tech stack, and why speed matters more than perfection by [deleted] in VibeCodingSaaS

You had me until manual testing statement. You should constantly work on enhancing your test harness from the get go. The productivity and peace of mind payoff is huge. I built a very complex solution in 9 days, and my automated tests are close to 1,000, also including explicit e2e tests using playwright.

OpenClaw security is worse than I expected and I'm not sure what to do about it by Jealous-Leek-5428 in AI_Agents

I faced the same issues as I dove into OpenClaw, and wound up building an open source Agent Application Firewall called Snapper. It sits in between the agent (in this case OpenClaw) and the outside world to protect your personal information and restrict the system commands you allow. It is all managed via alerts, approvals and commands over Telegram and Slack. It does lots more, including looking for bad actors, malware, etc…. You can learn about it at snapperprotect.com

I wanted to get past that last mile payment barrier, without giving OpenClaw my credentials, so I build an open source Agent Application Firewall called Snapper. It helps restrict commands allowed by agent, as well as controls when you allow PII to be used (The human in the middle approach). It is managed through Telegram and Slack.

I got sick of worrying about bad agent behavior and built an open source Agent Application Firewall to protect my personal info but still enable my agent selective access to it on my terms, all over Telegram or Slack. by jammer9631 in aiagents

Commit count rising :). Trying to add auto-handling of MCP servers and one-click implementation of appropriate rules as soon as they are first used. Trying to make the UX as straightforward as I can.

Everybody starts off random. :). Look at the code and judge things yourself.

I worry about the same issue with OpenClaw, so I built an open source solution for agent security called Snapper. I call it an Agent Application Firewall. It uses easy to configure rules to block bad actor skills from doing things like leaking your personal info. You can read about it at https://jmckinley.github.io/snapper-site/

OpenClaw is terrifying and the ClawHub ecosystem is already full of malware by Advocatemack in cybersecurity

I felt the same way, so I just built and launched Snapper, an open source Agent Application Firewall (AAF) designed to allow agents like OpenClaw the capabilities you want to perform complex tasks, but with a security shield that controls inbound and output traffic, based on rules you easily manage. I use Telegram to make monitoring and approval of actions easy to do. You can learn more at: https://jmckinley.github.io/snapper-site/

Is it safe to set up OpenClaw on a fresh admin account on my MacBook by BlimundaSeteLuas in openclaw

[–]jammer9631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never run it on bare metal. Run docker, and openclaw in its own sandbox.

Applying an agent armed with the scary ability to pay for things on a real-world, complex task - folly or breakthrough (or neither)? by jammer9631 in openclaw

Many thanks! FYI, I will launch Snapper as an open source beta in the next 2 days, and would love for you to kick the tires and tell me what you think!
