This really hits the nail on the head. The current permissions models are totally broken IMO. You're either approving everything, restricting access and neutering your agent, or full YOLOing and, well, good luck. The right primitives a

This is fantastic. There are a ton of use cases where you'd want to be able to build an integration that hooks back to your running agent session. OpenClaw has this today, but it's pretty janky. Hopefully this is coming to Claude

Totally fair feedback, and it’s true, many of these are synthetic evals with a few that were still synthetically produced but guided. At this point, because it’s all self-hosted, I only have my own data set. The places where it fails (for m

Absolutely. You can see the evals here: https://github.com/clawvisor/clawvisor/blob/main/internal/in... And the results here: https://github.com/clawvisor/clawvisor/blob&#x

Completely agree. As soon as I had OpenClaw working, I realized actually giving it access to anything was a complete nonstarter after all of the stories about going off the rails due to context limitations [1]. I've been building a sel

I have to agree with the other poster. My typing speed was in the 70+ WPM on qwerty prior to learning dvorak, and now I'm a glorified hunt-and-pecker on qwerty keyboards. The only exception to this is typing on my mobile device, which

Quick note: you got the pronoun wrong for the founder of The Buttermilk Company when referencing her Medium post.

Absolutely understand where you’re coming from. It can be jarring to be asked to go through those steps by a set of companies with whom you have no direct relationship. That said, data access requests can contain some extremely sensitive in

Completely understand and sympathize with that. We absolutely can (and will) do a better job of conveying the intent of the different checks here. The pose change requested is randomized, but I get that this can be frustrating. I know you a

Appreciate the thoughtful questions. On the point of why images leave our system at all, we provide a way to show our work to our customers — they won’t trust our results if they can’t see that they’re accurate. When they access information

Thank you! And yes, this space is definitely becoming increasingly important. Our focus has been to provide a lightweight, low-friction means by which to confidently check IDs. While we have been primarily serving North America-based custom

Many of the existing KYC providers for fintech startups rely on credit reports to perform identity checks. Our perspective is that relying on credit reports alone is becoming increasingly problematic given the widespread data breaches which

Of course I'm way late to the game here, but thought I'd add one more voice of dissent: The real estate costs can be extremely low for self-driving cars. Imagine a tower of, say, 10 cars stacked vertically with an elevator mechani

That's very good of Google to release the new maps app before the end of the holiday shopping season. If I were an Android executive at Google, I'd be fuming that they're providing a workaround to the broken software of their biggest compet

I think that's actually a shortcoming of that type of line graph. The lines move in parallel, but only IE6's adoption is changing. It's even worse for Firefox's graph -- it's really hard to determine the absolute adoption change for any giv

Something seems a bit fishy about the latest data points in those graphs. Firefox 3.5, Chrome versions < 10 and IE6 all had superb months.

I dislike developing for IE as much as the next guy, but does selectively supporting browsers, even when reasonable IE versions exist, bring us back to the "best viewed in Internet Explorer" days? Is this a step back for web standards?

Are you suggesting that detecting text from these mediocre-at-best photos is easy or that it's easy to determine which of the two sides is the control photo?
