Their exact location cannot be pinpointed; instead, they exist in a probability cloud where they are likely to be found at any given time.
That’s what this hype cycle is founded on. If I lend you $5, you have $5 you can lend further. Now, we each still have a right to $5, so we can lend that debt obligation again for $4.50. Now we have, somehow, a market value of $19.
Until someone looks, then it’s probably 0.

Good that their bootrROM keys weren’t leaked or anything like that. Would be a REAL shame if a jailbreak came out.
- Comment on Reddit's human content wins amid the AI flood 1 week ago:
After leaving reddit, i’ve kept an account. Every so often I go on there and generate some slop and post it. Usually run it through 2 models, at least one obscure HF one. So far, nobody noticed.
These
paid advertisementsarticles are funny, because they basically just admit they can’t tell the difference and are publicly stating this. Heh, slopgobblers - Comment on Kubernetes for beginers? 2 weeks ago:
Adding to this, you can try out
podman kube play <your-file>.yaml(see here) before going full k8s or k3s setup to familiarize yourself with the concepts, without moving too far away from the docker-compose ease of use. - Comment on Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W 5 weeks ago:

That’s not what they’re using. Apps that sell location data is the source.

Likely not. This is a spectacularly dumb move, the product isn’t that good and Samsung / SK Hynix are high if they think they they’ll get paid if the market so much as sneezes and things go sideways

- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 3 months ago:
Fair enough, that’s true. I guess my gripe is with the narrow use case and the debugging and/or prompt/context tuning to get what you want. I still feel that if you don’t get what you want on the first try, it’s faster to write it yourself than spending time “debugging” the input and maybe get a 60% chance on correct output, which in most cases, still needs debugging. And god forbid, a framework is rewritten.
I just wished it was a bit better before we hit the plateau of diminishing returns.

TBH, it’s not really that great at that. Is average at best and grossly misleading and flat out wrong at worst. It may bring slight speedups for average development on boring legacy enterprise code, but anything really novel and interesting? Detrimental.
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 3 months ago:
You can find out - set up a local DNS (pihole, blocky et. al.) and check which domains the vacuum connects to.
Then block those and see what happens! Interesting experiment for a weekend.
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 3 months ago:
To be fair, many roombas have a mini DIN connector somewhere, which opens up the possibility for external control - what I plan to do when mine stops working due to server shutdown. However, getting replacement parts will get more and more tricky as time goes by.
I just had to through out a mostly functional airfryer because the drawer rail disintegrated and the replacement part is no longer manufactured. The oldest one I could get was a “new” version with more plastic and a slightly bigger size, so it didn’t fit by about 5%.
It really should be illegal, there is no logical reason for 500 slightly different models and inoperability of basic functions (drawers, APIs, …) aside from malignant greed and planet destruction.

- Comment on Intent recognition for HomeAssistant without an LLM? 4 months ago:
Hmm. I had pretty much the same experience, and wondered about having multiple conversation agents for specific tasks - but didn’t get around to trying that out. Currently, I am using it without LLM, albeit with GPU accelerated whisper (and other custom CV tasks for camera feeds). This gives me fairly accurate STT, and I have defined a plethora of variable sentences for hassil (intent matcher), so I often get the correct match. There is the option for optional words and or-alternatives, for instance:
sentences: - (start|begin|fire) [the] [one] vaccum clean(er|ing) [robot] [session]
So this would match “start vacuum”, but also “fire one vacuum cleaning session”
If course, this is substantial effort initially, but once configured and debugged (punctuation is poison!) works pretty well. As an aside, using the atom echo satellites gave me a lot of errors, simply because the microphones are bad. With a better quality satellite device (the voice preview) the success rate is much higher, almost flawless.
That all said, if you find a better intent matcher or another solution, please do report back as I am very interested in an easier solution that does not require me to think of all possible sentence ahead if time.
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 5 months ago:
The implication here is, if they implement this, is that they volunteer to assume liability, should e.g., your bank account be drained despite undergoing their forced strict lockdown on paid and owned devices.
Fat chance, because laws are meaningless to crime syndicates

- Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. 9 months ago:
Well, it’s a bit better than that, simply because you can train AI with solar power. Probably nobody does that currently, as it’s easier, faster-to-market and probably (for whatever corrupt reason) cheaper for business to let it run on burning fossils/nuclear. Currently there’s an insane amount of waste, often 1000s of models are trained and only the best performing one is deployed - and then it’s just a fancy autocomplete. The better use is for prediction of material failure, new medicine and protein folding, generally improved processes.
With asbestos you get some convenience, but it’ll be for eternity a pain to find a waste management facility that will accept it.

- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 9 months ago:
Alright, might have to do some deeper investigation for why it’s messing up. Anyhow glad to hear it does work in principle and it may be something I’m doing - thanks!
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 9 months ago:
Was trying this, but I’ve had issues with the app not properly synchronizing with the server. Does that work for you and if so, what’s your setup?
Was supposed to replace “Bring” and due to the issues, currently using grocy, where sync works, but is otherwise very tedious to manage inventory.
