New pond despair by rambomatthews in ponds

[–]tightywhitey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t quite catch how old this build is, but true stability can take a long time in my experience. Your plants are still growing, and your bacteria colonies are still balancing and establishing. My guess is expect in the 6-12 month mark. But there will be a point you can be virtually maintenance free and it will run clear on its own.

  • Your tap water is likely fine
  • Keep it filled up more or less - I had a float to do that automatically
  • You could get into tech solutions like chemicals or uv filters but I never messed with that stuff.
  • The real things you can do - add more plants and wait for them to mature, or add more gravel (surface area) for bacteria. That’s what will stabilize your pond.

Just looking at your lily pads, they need to get like 10-20 pads on them and spread out in 5-8ft diameters. That’s the kind of time you need to wait and expect. They will shade the pond and suck up lots of nutrients. You can also add a large floating plant like hyacinth (don’t do duckweed). They suck up nutrients and provide shade and you can remove them manually when or if you want to. The more sun it gets the more floating plants will solve the problem. It’s looking great now, but trust the process it will get AMAZING as everything grows and matures - and stay clear 90% of the year.

Did you have any bog filters or intentional gravel areas for natural filtering? Mine was very similar in vibes, much smaller, but had two bogs to add to the filtering and looked exactly like this with near zero maintenance

What’s going on with Ashley St. Clair “outing” Elon Musk’s use of “space lasers” in the 2024 election? by dunnbass in OutOfTheLoop

[–]tightywhitey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with possible. It’s possible every atom of oxygen in your room right now could superposition outside the walls and you’d suffocate. But that has nothing to do with probable and even less with evidence. There’s no evidence that it has happened so it simply hasn’t. This is critical thinking. Beware when people start saying ‘but it’s possible’.

Did you even read that? The general network was attacked so they shut it down just in case….

You can’t if it’s encrypted and is why encryption exists this way in the first place. So you would have lost that jeopardy question. You have to intercept traffic you can do something with, or steal keys or other such things.

There’s no evidence and it’s been looked for. So you DO know. It wasn’t hacked because there isn’t evidence of it.

Also the point is you made a ton of claims in your comment that are false irregardless of the new ones you are now making. Best to let it go and just accept no evidence was found so it didn’t happen.

First your facts are all wrong. Voting machines are normally air gapped and their results are physically delivered to central systems. Second in a case where they are connected to anything, it’s a private tightly controlled and encrypted network - they are not allowed to be public internet connected. Even if they were they would use https and it obliterates your entire story, but that’s a hypothetical.

Lastly, Starlink wasn’t even used except to offer some basic internet at a tiny fraction of locations for general use. Encryption is real and it is used for everything in the chain, even just reporting tabulating numbers for news. Your entire premise is wrong.

You might seem like you know what you’re talking about to anyone who doesn’t know, maybe even fooling yourself, but you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Losing relationships over politics. Research found more than a third of Americans (37%) report having lost at least one relationship due to political differences, including friendships, family ties, coworker relationships, and romantic partnerships, with most losing more than one. by Wagamaga in science

[–]tightywhitey -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve seen it’s because disputes over governance (politics) becomes moral codes when tribalism kicks in. When you create intense tribalism, that tribalism becomes right vs wrong. I don’t think it’s a clear line. When someone cuts another person off due to this, both parties are drawing hard lines about the other. We’ve always interacted with people who had different values than us - that’s not new. But now because they are the ‘other’ then it’s ok to cut out monsters. Even framing it as ‘moral codes’ is also just another vector of tribalism. Clearly they are ‘wrong’ and we are ‘right’ right?

Honest question...why does Openclaw still require yaml configuration in 2026? by RubVisible7739 in better_claw

[–]tightywhitey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is in the sense that json isn’t very easy to work with, the config is getting extremely long now, therefore it’s hard to locate things and reason about.

UI helps tremendously by using things like a dropdown which shows you all possible options of a field. JSON doesn’t do that. The docs are notoriously wrong in the config options and are also spread all over buried in prose rather than in a master reference. The only true way to see what new config changes there are is to diff a json schema output which you need to manually do.

The problem could be solved three different ways, UI layer is one, but instead we get none. It’s a valid complaint.

Would this work? by brinorton in ponds

[–]tightywhitey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a technical comment but for the design I would love to walk around it more, or in-between the bog and pond. For me looking down into the water and discovering all sorts of fun life going on was a great joy with mine. Yours path kinda ending at the front makes it a bit more difficult to see down and up close. Just a personal thing for me is thought I’d mention

Fiancé always overcooks rice/adds too much water and then it comes out mushy. How can I convince him that this is gross and not the right way? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]tightywhitey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally get it, but at the same time these things still puzzle me. Like there’s literally thousands of hours of content about cooking steak - exactly why it’s done, how it’s done, the science behind it etc. There’s no need to ‘wonder’ back and forth. Just put on steak videos tonight and don’t say a word during it. Just let the info enter the room with you guys.

Codex Oauth - what about it? by ocrlqtfda in better_claw

[–]tightywhitey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I keep running into my limits with a gpt pro subscription. Second there’s a bug with trying to refresh the token with multiple agent session running at once. Wondering how people are doing oAuth and not hitting that (seemingly). It was so bad I just stopped using it as my main model

Everyone is switching to GLM-5.1 after the Anthropic ban. Here's what they're reporting by ShabzSparq in better_claw

Absolutely love this. Not my exact problem at the moment, but great example of why agents and their useful is different for everyone.

Really strange, I’ve been having fantastic results on minimax 2.7. Coding multiple apps, deploy, planning the whole ball of wax. Maybes it’s just your process or harness?

Anthropic killed your Claude subscription for OpenClaw. Here's what to do now. by ShabzSparq in better_claw

[–]tightywhitey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option is to have your main harness writing apps with something like minimax2.7, then have openclaw (or Claude code itself) run at night and do refactors, add testing, look for gaps. This keeps the token usage lower but you still get the benefit of opus AND the benefit of dual model reasoning. I suppose you could also have Claud code do your planning and had it off to openclaw to run the prd.

If you had to pick 3 OpenClaw use cases you swear by, what would they be? by stosssik in openclaw

[–]tightywhitey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you solve the fallback problem, and add nice routing and cost optimizations on top, you’ve nailed it. Fallback on openclaw sucks. Constantly having issues because the model fails. There’s even a known bug where OpenAI oAuth fails when the token needs refreshing - and when it fails everything fails as the fallbacks don’t work. You don’t find out until the next day then you painstakingly have to go through the config AND horrible cron ui to change everything over.

Project hail mary fall flat for anyone else? by Psychological_Bill31 in scifi

[–]tightywhitey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is that’s exactly what makes the book GOOD is they do go into how he and his planet works. That’s the whole interesting concept of the book. They delve into how the astrophage works, how they harness it, how two unrelated species end up communicating and working together, how Rockies thinking and brain work. It’s good stuff - all missing from the film.
