It’s not impressive, but specifically it is: ByteSpeed Intel NUC 8i7BEH Intel i7-8559U 2.70GHz 16GB DDR4 RAM 256GB SSD

I’m actually not sure I’m using it to call any tools, so I might have been overly optimistic sounding. I set it up so that HA tries to answer any incoming requests but when it doesn’t understand something, it hands it to the AI. Reminders are not understood natively by HA, but I set up a pretty elaborate automation to handle it. As I understand it (I used Claude to help me set it up) the AI is parsing the {time} part of the automation, but it doesn’t quite work right. Basically if I say “Hey Jarvis, remind me at 8:15 PM to move my truck” it works, but if I say “remind me in two hours to move my truck”, it fails. I gotta spend some more time with it.

I’m using Voice PE to talk to it so I can say “hey Jarvis, blah blah blah” and if HA doesn’t recognize what I’m asking (ie: HA/PE understands “set a timer for 30 minutes” and will set a timer for you) it passes it to the AI. If I ask it “who was in the Beatles?” it takes about 3 seconds to think and then will respond with “The Beatles consisted of… <lists the members>”.

I would provide you with more detail but I’m out of town right now and don’t have direct access to it on this computer.

The only thing that has really kept religion in check in this country is, ironically, their enmity toward each other due, ostensibly, to differences in eschatology. That has melted away as they have come to the realization that they are in danger of becoming irrelevant. Fortunately, the laity is extremely stupid and easy to manipulate (religion will do that to you) and have no idea what they really believe or what the differences are, so they are being led as if they are more monolithic by focusing their worship on what they all agree they love: money. They are also too stupid to realize that this is ironic.

why are humans such shit, how can you do this shit

I disable it. Also spell checking and grammar checking and all that shit. Drives me mad.

When I get a song stuck in my head for too long (I’m musically minded and possibly have issues - this can go on for days and become quite obnoxious to me) I always concentrate and play Back in Black in my head. It gets stuck there and pushes out the other song but for some reason never sticks around itself for more than 24 hours.

Love it.

My SO basically dragged me to the one in Santa Fe and it was one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced. I thought it was gonna be you know, modern art, mildly interesting but ultimately boring, but I was wrong. It’s unbelievably cool. Words fail me in explaining how fascinating the idea and its execution are.

When she first blew up all I would hear about her is how dumb she was, how stupid she was, what a lightweight she was, but everything I ever heard her say made eminent sense and sounded frankly intelligent.

These comments were largely coming from the chudiverse and Fox News, but I realized it was working when a not-conservative-minded relative of mine made an offhand comment along the lines of “everyone knows she’s not very smart.” I responded very directly with a light challenge like “oh, could you point me to something she’s said that’s not very smart because everything I’ve ever heard her say is pretty fucking brilliant.”

I knew full well this person would immediately try and dig something up - but she must’ve come up empty because now she’s a fan. I actually think she learned a lesson about how that kind of shit can work on your without you even realizing it.

Judging from the DDOS script, dbzer0.

Yeah as I was reading this screed all I kept thinking was “what the fuck website is this guy reading” because I’m on here every day and I don’t see anything that looks like what this guy is describing. I don’t scream or yell or fight or issue death threats to anybody, I read thoughtful shit and I ignore thoughtless shit and I live my life.

This has to be some kind of mental illness. If you find someone truly offensive, and I haven’t really - how about… you know, block them? Oh, no no, imma sit down and stealth-edit my frontend script to block them for everybody and then get all butthurt when I get caught. Lashing out and blaming everybody else - so hot right now.

This isn’t my cat

Brother, I’ve got some news for you.

I just don’t understand what the fuck is going on anymore. I mean, I haven’t for a while really, but shit just keeps getting more incoherent.

A decent Diablo-like hack and slash with addictive gameplay for sure. If you get it on sale, it’s worth it if you like the genre. It does have some bad design decisions.

The bad: even when you’re not in a dungeon, the map is always pathways, not open. This plus no quest markers and only one travel gate open at a time means you do a lot of mindless looking around for stuff and painful backtracking. The procedural equipment drops are tedious though they can be filtered. Their naming conventions are overly-verbose and terrible. The soundtrack gets repetitive.

The good: the game’s skills and trees make sense and make you can feel pretty OP if you give it some effort and thought. The crafting is actually useful and you get a generous amount of storage (that can be upgraded to ridiculous levels). The lore is deep and if you’re into that, there’s a lot of it and it’s fairly original.

I am sending you all the positive vibes I can. I hope for her. I’ve been through similar, a precious sole survivor baby whose mama had FL and sadly, she inherited it. She made it a year and a half before it took her from me. I had bottle fed her from her infancy and she was my light. This world is only bearable because of people like you.

One successful launch and it will be up to $350. The stock market is illegitimate.

I think many of them just don’t know what they’re doing.

Uh, no, we’ve known all along where this is headed because we aren’t fucking brain-dead. Did any of these morons ever read a book?

Oh look, capitalism trying to sell you something by calling it a solution to your problem. The problem that it created in the first place. This doesn’t seem familiar at all.

Oh I’m pretty certain none of their code is written by AI. If you read what he says carefully, he’s most impressed with how it can identify issues and guide the project to what needs attention. They’ve loudly complained about low-effort AI submissions previously, so AI code is not what he’s really talking about here.

AI is absolutely killer at issue identification and is getting better. He knows, as they all know, they won’t be able to survive without it going forward because if it can identify vulnerabilities for them it can identify vulnerabilities to anyone.

This is unironically the best comment I’ve read all year.

The party of fiscal responsibility, everyone.

Yeah that’s why I’m running it. Couldn’t get reminders to work with all the possible permutations of time notation without an LLM. It still doesn’t fully work properly but it’s good enough and it has the side effect that it can answer any question you ask, for better or for worse. It gets simple things right more than half the time I’d say.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the work being done by groups like GLM will allow something smarter to run on this hardware within the next year or so.
