Yes, I believe they initially really meant it when making their “don’t be evil” statement.

The company as a whole also really stopped caring at some point and are now following the “do be evil” paradigm


I’m sure the Meta’s and Google’s on this planet will all faithfully honor our “do not track” requests.

I'm sure if they had to by some EU directive, they would. Organizations that big can't conceal that, as they risk discovery findings and whistleblower activities.

Only when the punishment for not complying is a certain (ever increasing) % of their revenue. And it is actually enforced.

Great story - thanks for posting it here!

LOL, you’re taking about OpenClaw, right? The neural network not only takes out the bins but also starts posting on HN

No, he's referring to using the human body, brain, and nose to figure out when to take the trash out to the street, with Home Assistant giving a reminder.

I know, just LOL. My “home assistant” would frown at me for the “home assistant” epitheton.

Apart from the confusing co-pilot invocation, this looks really cool! Will try it out.

Thanks! The name is going, you're the third person to say it. Let me know how it goes.

Yes, just installed from source and saw the name change.

Really liked the onboarding! (kudos - definitely not something that could be one-shot vibe-coded)


Thank you so much. Glad you like it. It is 100% vibe coded but made with love :)

Hey! Took your point on the name, it's the Assistant as of 0.25.1.

Jev Goldblum? He’s all the hype today


Artificial Life, um, finds a way


This account has 50 submissions in the last two hours! [Edit: not the parent; the posting account]

I don’t know why GP’s comment was flagged because submitting at a rate of 25 submissions PER HOUR is not done out of a genuine desire to share something that may be of interest to fellow human beings. Not even for personal bookmarking


Why did you lie?

I posted 3-4 things in the last 2 hours, not 50. That's probably why I haven't been flagged.

If you believe me, I do it by hand, and I do it for things that I genuinely believe can be interesting for the HN community.

And yes, a secondary benefit of my submissions is that they also act as a sort of bookmark, because obviously when I submit something that I deem interesting, it's also good to be able to easily retrieve it later.


I stand corrected. You posted only 6 submissions in the last 24 hours. Not my place to judge you. (I used the Hack for HN app on iOS which, incorrectly, showed 50 hits). I apologize.


Thanks a lot for this. I really appreciate you correcting your previous statement.

And, please, if you find what I do annoying (posting submissions frequently), let me know here, or email me (it's in my profile) and I will be happy to hear your arguments.


The last thing I want to do is harass people online.

I care about HN and dislike bots and automated posting taking away real human interaction. You're not a bot - which I had already noted from your profile - and I have no problem with people posting frequently; and even if I did, that would be as valuable as any random person's opinion. So please don't let my error keep you from being you.


Some accounts have a clearly more privileged status here and are allowed to upload content without limits - especially from big outlets.


Still why does a comment noticing that get flagged?

I cannot imagine it’s Dang doing that, he consistently comes across as much too reasonably for that.

Does that mean flagging is automated when criticizing ‘big outlets’ spamming HN?!? (The spamming account comes across as a person from their bio)


And now this honest question is getting down-voted!! What’s going on?


Yes, that’s ObjC, any NSMutableArray is an NSArray (and an NSObject) - classes passed by reference.

Swift is completely different. Standard arrays are structures, always mutable - value types passed by value


”it seems like it's fairly simple to make something that's better than iOS 26”

Regression to the mean


Sounds chaoticc
