New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Are there examples of 3D printing data onto physical surfaces?

Ask HN: Are there examples of 3D printing data onto physical surfaces? 4 by catapart | 0 comments on Hacker News. I had a thought about encoding a very small amount of data onto some kind of "disk" using 3D printing as the mechanism for filament-based storage. The assumption was that using common 3D printer measurement tools (like for bed-leveling) would provide a way to read back whatever data was encoded onto the surface. Since that seems like a pretty well-known concept, crudely applied to a domain I haven't seen it in before - but is already large and growing fast - I'm assuming that others have thought of this? I was hoping maybe someone had implemented something like it? And then, obviously, if that proof of concept exists, I'd wonder about some kind of advanced version that used specialized equipment for the reading (and possibly the writing/printing). In any case, I'm just curious. I was thinking about long term (century +) archival storage, or encr...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: If your OpenClaw could do 1 thing it currently can't, what would it be?

Ask HN: If your OpenClaw could do 1 thing it currently can't, what would it be? 3 by stosssik | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey guys What’s one specific thing you wish your OpenClaw agent could do today, but can’t? Not vague stuff like “pay for things.” I mean which concrete use case ? For example: - “Automatically renew my AWS credits if usage drops below $100 and pay with a virtual card.” - “Find the cheapest nonstop flight to NYC next month, hold it, and ask me before paying.”

New ask Hacker News story: Ralph Giles Passed Away (Xiph.org| Rust@Mozilla | Ghostscript)

Ralph Giles Passed Away (Xiph.org| Rust@Mozilla | Ghostscript) 2 by ffworld | 0 comments on Hacker News. It's with much sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Ralph Giles, or rillian as he was known on IRC. Ralph began contributing to Xiph.org in 2000 and became a core Ghostscript developer in 2001[1]. Ralph made many contributions to the royalty-free media ecosystem, whether it was as a project lead on Theora, serving as release manager for multiple Xiph libraries or maintaining Xiph infrastructure that has been used across the industry by codec engineers and researchers[2]. He was also the first to ship Rust code in Firefox[3] during his time at Mozilla, which was a major milestone for both the language and Firefox itself. Ralph was a great contributor, a kind colleague and will be greatly missed.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Does OpenClaw need a re-architecture to be usable?

Ask HN: Does OpenClaw need a re-architecture to be usable? 4 by xinbenlv | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been using OpenClaw intensively for about two weeks. The first few days were exciting. It felt like we’re finally getting closer to autonomous agents that can actually operate a computer end-to-end. But after the initial excitement faded, I started noticing some consistent issues: - It frequently stops responding mid-task - Execution fails without clear recovery - Task success rate feels inconsistent and unpredictable - Long-running tasks degrade over time It made me wonder whether the current architecture is fundamentally limiting reliability. Right now, it feels closer to a “single program trying to do everything” model. But if we look at the history of computing, systems only became truly robust when we moved toward operating system–like abstractions: - event-driven execution - proper failure recovery - watchdog / heartbeat monitoring - task supervision trees - state persist...
