  • the solution might be cancelling my AI subscription

  • It doesn't help that it's not a mental disorder, but a biological one, largely neurological, that we understand a lot about one of the brain-structure causes now.

    The problem is that doom scrolling and repeated exposure to bursts of endorphins creates a physiological syndrome that mimics some of the symptoms of ADHD due to slightly similar reasons, but not all of them.

  • United flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker name

  • The real reason is because some jackass turned their Bluetooth speaker on during a flight.

  • The real answer is "what's the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?"

    If it's "just as written on a test" I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.

    If it's an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.

    Can't quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

  • Yes, I'm aware that ML is a field of computer math artificial intelligence. But purposefully trotting that out is tantamount to doing unpaid work for Sam Altman at this point since in parlance nearly everyone uses "AI" as shorthand for modern generative AI systems as well as the hype itself.

    Which thus...no, it wasn't called AI before, it was generally referred to as machine learning or neural networks with that implying it was AI (math) before it became labeled as AI (hype).

    This feels like really unnecessary pedantry.

  • Yep. In the fix I linked I set it up to default to a word if it fails the template instead, so it'll then check for a match to that word ("fail") and if so it just falls back to 5 minutes and will tell me as much.

    Going to be a hell of a lot better about that in the future though. Was definitely a rookie mistake on my part to assume that just because it'd worked every time I'd tested it, used it, and with timers and all thus far that it would always work 100% of the time. Why assume when you can validate? I do in code I write... Guess I don't think about it in the same way with HA as much, oops.

  • I do all three every time I do something new, it's basically mandatory for me. Every time I did it correctly did numerics tested over and over via voice itself. Timers always behave and require that as well.

    This was just the first time, after anxiety had faded, it had failed to transcribe in a useful fashion.

    Makes me want to look into more-predictable STT systems.

  • Reporting like that really is something I should be doing more of. I think about it lots at work and when I go home I guess I often turn off that part.

  • Speech to text, not AI. No one called it AI until the tech execs started purposefully conflating them all to make folks who say they're "anti-AI" look bad against all other machine learning. And now even fucking Nuance calls DragonSpeak "AI" even though it's always been machine learning-based since it first started.

    It's one of those stupid things that would just need a toggle to force transcription context. Probably works flawlessly with Nabu Casa's STT, but even though I pay them for it I want it local. Hell, I'm pretty sure Dragon even has (or had) switches for forcing certain processing methods.

  • Thank you, I needed the laugh for this x3

    Hopefully my peppers aren't dying from being drowned, nor my other plants. Guess I gotta feed them when I get home from work!

  • Whisper turning a number into a word fucked my next water bill

    Jump

  • I set it up as just a sentence automation, not as a separate script being fired where that'd have caused an error. I've not found a means of forcing validation like that in sentence automations, only in custom sentences/intents (never quite gotten a handle on those)

  • Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checks

    Jump

  • It's not just that, it's that they don't care. People keep assuming it's solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can't fight it from existing to begin.

    They'll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can't afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.

  • GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing

  • Forgejo is a git server.

    UI looks very similar to older GitHub before it got so "modern" in a bad way.

  • Yep. Dropout use them for a streaming backend.

  • I think it's to point out the first comment having more likes than the post itself.

  • PineTime Pro Introduction

    Jump

  • Did they ever solve why the original PineTime had weird charging behavior? Mine and several others, when charged to 100%, would not behave correctly and would bootloop.

  • Whoa, where did they go?!

  • The last show I was at was Jesse Welles in Atlanta, and the full band did that so Jesse could come back and perform solo for like another 45 minutes. Dude has insane stamina, he was clearly having a blast. The band joined back for the very last song at least, and no call for encore -- the solo-full-solo-final full thing worked perfect for making it clear.
