Comment on How my AI Agent views and maintains "our" homelab

It seems the main use case is restarting docker containers, why not use the built-in healthcheck feature of docker? The automatic backup and upgrade are also confusing to me, operating systems come with that built in. I just don’t quite understand the point of replacing existing deterministic systems with a natural language interface, I would have trouble believing the logs at face value.

I don’t think you understand what an interface is, I don’t think you understood my comment, and my suspicion is you probably can’t or won’t even if I try to help clarify.

Oh yea I really didn’t see the natural language part and mistook your comment for actual architectural critique. Thanks for taking the time to write that comment

I appreciate that, I spent time trying to write as clearly as possible, and it hurt to have someone, either through negligence or malice, completely misunderstand me. I still don’t see how the natural language part relates to creating systems without interfaces. An interfaceless system is nonsense, it doesn’t exist, it just betrays a lack of understanding. Even black holes have interfaces. The log files are an interface. The other interface you mentioned was actually a system to aggregate log files, and I just have to point out that systems are different from interfaces. The interface in that case would be the resulting directory of files, or maybe it could be a streaming interface directly into an llm. But anyways the thing that really bugged me was I was asking about the use indeterminate systems to replace solved deterministic problems, and your response was something along the lines of ‘yeah I agree, add more llm!’ and I would be upset if anybody passing through thought that you and I agreed on that.
I’m sorry if my comment came off as rude, I’m having a bad hair day.

Its a homelab, not a commercial production environment, agree with you, but I am not too worried about it.

I guess I’m confused… The built in functionality seems like the easier way to accomplish the same, you seemed to have spent a large amount of time and are proud of this project, and wanted to share it, but also acknowledge that it’s worse than what already exists, and uses more resources idly. Why should anybody else do this?

I mean it is an interesting test for ai capabilities and limitations. You have an existing low tech deterministic use case and setup and can compare that with the ai setup
midribbon_action@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 hours ago
There is no comparison, I made the comparison myself. In all honesty I feel like they didn’t know about basic docker and linux concepts until my comment.

So dont do it!
Its a learning experience, how can a coding agent be used in a non coding way? is it better or worse? i guess i have my answers now,
this may not be the ideal usecase, but it surely shows that these agents can be used for other things.

What answer did you arrive at? Are you planning on ending the test?
