It’s evolved a little, but it’s basically the same elements:<br/><br/>Strong composition.<br/>Unembellished colour.<br/>Purposeful edge content.<br/>Restricted techniques.<br/>Referential perspectives.<br/>No impasto, no sheen. <br/><br/>This one is from a decade ago. Looking at it now, I can see what I was already refusing to do - no fancy brushmarks, no decorative colour, no lazy edges. The painting has a feeling to it.<br/><br/>When I paint ; it comes across as my signature ‘Wet socks and a rock in my shoe’ style.<br/><br/>#artstr #art #painting #style #nostrartist #artist #themarkpenney<br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/aopOefz9Hxwq4v2zP5BFQM.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/45igsPRnqaF79KFq6OGawW.jpg"> 2026-09-08T05:45:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg7lpfnyew86hv0j7flq05uaqku4hnq66n4qkc2paktgm3ru5sg2czyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0szlffhl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8gsdecfujwznxxhrqr6y88z2ssr3vcl5d7zw2pd98kymls4mztwqxmna5z'>nevent1q…na5z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’ll check again.

My own local AI oversees the watering now. It reads soil moisture from sensors in the beds, checks the weather, and decides whether each zone actually needs water. If a bed is already damp, it skips the cycle. If it’s been hot and dry, it waters longer<br/><br/>The setup is simple: a small home-automation hub, a two-zone smart water valve, and a few wireless soil sensors. One zone feeds the flower beds, the other feeds the vegetable garden and containers. Everything talks locally over Zigbee, so it still works even without internet <br/><br/>The part I like best is that it’s my own setup; local ai, opensource software, my hardware. The schedule, the data, the decisions - none of it lives in someone else’s cloud, app or platform.<br/><br/>It’s practical: plants stay alive, water doesn’t get wasted, and I don’t have to stand there with a hose.<br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/QwVWWPm9iBNm2mKl.jpg"> 2026-08-08T22:22:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0xh2u0l3kxeqjj604ggfpvp53yy7cx4a0pntsegvvr9jpvndwmlgzyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0sghlzny What actually works in our OpenClaw setup (and the pain it fixed)<br/><br/>If you&#39;re spinning up OpenClaw and hitting the usual walls (context overflow, wrong model for the job, forgotten conversations, flaky pipelines), here&#39;s the stack and discipline that got us past it.<br/><br/>1. MRDE: route before you prompt<br/>We built a Model Routing Decision Engine so every request hits the right model tier first, not after trial and error.<br/><br/>• Local private: sensitive stuff stays on-device (gemma-4-26B-MLX, ornith:9b for fast local lanes).<br/>• Local heavy: deep reasoning when latency doesn&#39;t matter (ornith:35b, qwen3.6-35b for legal).<br/>• Cloud coding/synthesis: complex troubleshooting (kimi-k2.7-code:cloud, kimi-k2.6:cloud, deepseek-v4-flash:cloud).<br/>• Cloud fast fallback: quick answers when local is cold (gemma4:31b-cloud).<br/><br/>Pain solved: no more asking a 2.8T-parameter cloud model to grep logs, and no more running private queries through cloud APIs by accident.<br/><br/>2. Two-tier memory + RAG<br/><br/>• Immutable corpus: law sources, primary docs, transcripts. Append-only, never rewritten.<br/>• Evolving memory: daily notes, decisions, lessons, atomic reports. Rewritten and refined.<br/>• RAG v2: 10 corpora, ~66k chunks, all embedded. The assistant recalls before answering, then writes back compact, cited notes.<br/><br/>Pain solved: the system stops hallucinating continuity. It actually remembers yesterday, last week, and the source of the claim.<br/><br/>3. The loop: capture → recall → act → write back<br/>Everything runs on a small, durable loop:<br/><br/>• Capture: drop it in the inbox (AirDrop, Telegram, share sheet, cron).<br/>• Recall: search memory + RAG before any real work.<br/>• Act: use the right tool/model for the task.<br/>• Write back: one compact note with provenance (file path, source ID, or daily note).<br/><br/>For bigger tasks we add a gauntlet: run the output through critic models, check facts, verify file hashes, then keep or repair.<br/><br/>Pain solved: slop dies here. The system produces fewer, higher-quality artifacts instead of endless chat noise.<br/><br/>4. Scheduled pipelines (the nightshift)<br/>A single cron at 02:00 dispatches phased jobs: I/O-bound tasks, then cloud API tasks, then local ML/vision, then reflection/audit. Local-ML concurrency is capped at 1 so vision models don&#39;t fight for the GPU.<br/><br/>Pain solved: long-running jobs finish overnight instead of interrupting the day, and the Mac doesn&#39;t melt.<br/><br/>5. Voice as default input<br/>Whisper STT → local LLM → Kokoro TTS. Zero API cost, hands-free, and it actually gets used.<br/><br/>Pain solved: typing long prompts on mobile is miserable. Voice removes friction.<br/><br/>Advice for new OpenClaw builders<br/><br/>• Lock your default model before you build a dozen workflows. Routing is cheaper than re-prompting.<br/>• Write memory back immediately after meaningful work, not at end of day.<br/>• Use small verification loops (syntax checks, dry runs, file hashes) before trusting any autonomous edit.<br/>• Run heavy/local-ML jobs in a single queue with concurrency caps, not in parallel cron storms.<br/>• Prefer local TTS/STT once it&#39;s good enough. The cost and latency win is real.<br/><br/>The big shift: stop treating OpenClaw like a chatbot and start treating it like an operating system with memory, scheduling, and routing. The rest follows.<br/><br/>#OpenClaw #LocalAI #AIAgents #ai 2026-08-06T19:26:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9g2hzkpyf7ueh377pnst8wsjelp6vy3968d83nz7t570dv5ysgnczyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0sfgw9yw Amazing soup in Vancouver <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/CAcE9Q47HpyIlqzP.jpg"> 2026-08-01T00:17:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs23jclqyefxzmn233yssc7l9sgmd5hqc6u4s8ezls2e5emakgssjszyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0sp7a97l Photographed my paint drawers and my AI assitant inventoried every color + flagged what&#39;s running low.

This small community gets to hear everything two weeks before the official release. Pretty special, right?<br/><br/>If you’d like to support the project directly, the album can also be ordered on CD or vinyl (worldwide!) and paid for with Bitcoin via my own node. Of course, you can zap this note or on Wavlake, too.<br/><br/>This is pure music. All compositions are mine, some of them over 16 years old, written when I was still growing up. It’s contemporary jazz at its core, but I truly believe there’s something here for every listener.<br/><br/>Thanks for being part of this.

It’s been wonderful. <br/><br/>So now I’m wondering Are people on Nostr getting creepy DMs and inappropriate comments here too? <br/><br/>I thankfully have not. <br/><br/>The objectionable post I saw this morning was meant to precipitate a strong reaction. <br/><br/>I felt provoked but chose not to engage. <br/><br/>It only took me a moment to find the block button. <br/><br/>I realized in that moment that we need to be careful and measured in our response to these problems.<br/><br/>#nostr #socialmedia #problem #block #ban 2025-09-28T22:28:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2q7egn357ct4t75mww4tpefcv7dd2psjvkz597zmm0a437977xcqzyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0ss6qrsn very interesting 🤔 <br/><br/>A Nostr relay and a BTC node might be fun projects<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1s76e6uk7pwfp90mdwpvu503dvg2ppw2ccpmcx07k9fp6ghluqatq2uy65h" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1s76…y65h</a></span> </div> Indeed. One should think twice before posting anything here.<br/><br/>Also: No relay can possibly store all content if Nostr ever goes mainstream, so there is a chance that, unless you run your own relay or pay for one, public relays will only save a few days worth of your notes and then notes will simply disappear - which would actually be good as well.<br/><br/>I think social media should be a nervous system or neural network of society. Long-term memory should be blog posts. </blockquote> 2024-09-12T17:12:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqagv2dee3em4f3xvtpfmvs3ljzkzkru5gm2pefsy3m0ravg87sqszyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0ssqahtw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsywdnjuqpwm4cmum75tc9g4wrqk3kv74mwvsn26evgvasp3lfa0zs56uu73'>nevent1q…uu73</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>- ikr? 🙃 2024-09-07T09:05:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8ekam9zhd08qslzk6zzgtpklnmr3hldmm82vh5u0lw3vc8753flczyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0s0psyjj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvxwvuk2mqhjyl03tjayw6kdnzq3mwrm0hdmqz9wpjkc9x4rv5yqgmrq0g8'>nevent1q…q0g8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It’s a feature of #nostr not a bug 😀 2024-09-06T18:53:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs87jep9rcl4p8uy4d6huef2xuu0ta88d0kzrtdkq3dtmq6xjkm9pgzyqmm44cd07nkyej37avrd00e7agdqv5vwf26hxt880ek702fkmv0sc2va0s 😆What, Wait ?!
