You know the reason they are using terms like "employment"... Next step: We've now managed to include AIs and automated robots in jobs numbers! Now we can report 700% employment, while everyone starves away hoping for a chance at a job.

Short term absolutely, the specific prereq of being "happy" is on there. Though say making him napoleon just before Waterloo would fulfill that goal, obviously I don't think that happyness lasted.

Nah come on, we can corrupted wish this one better... He's transformed into Napoleon. Now he knew his father (who died when he's 15), He's happy when he's succeeding, obviously doesn't lack in confidence.

looks like it's true... in Brooklyn

I think it was Portugal's concert, Weird Al and Jorma Taccone were guests

I'm sure we'll be hearing a huge handful from everyone that attacked those who dared to speak badly about kirk after he died any minute now!

I mean, it's a very large dependency on which journals, how well cited they are etc...

I mean yes there's absolutely problems, but it doesn't make much sense when we are comparing to basically completely unsourced arguements from complete and total laymen. That's basically in the category of calling out Obama did some unethical things as president... in a discussion about trump. Yes 100% agreed with the premise, but also have to say they aren't even in the same league.

IMO I don't see why you get a second human involved. Store the database in an encrypted form... save a copy to some cloud service. Why count on another human for it

I mean effectively he's making the same mistake as biden did on messaging, IE Biden basically went publicly patting himself on the back of how the US had a lower inflation than most other countries durring the covid spree. but he phrased it in a way that was regularly interpreted as "I solved inflation... you feeling like everything is falling apart is on you."

Bottom line, things have been circling the drain for decades.. which is why almost universally the candidate that wins is the one at least offering the image of change. It's why hillary basically promising to keep going in the same direction as obama, and harris's lack of ability to admit biden may have made some mistakes... gave us 2 terms of trump.

Or just on twitter, or parts of reddit, or the internet in general etc.. I mean there certainly was no shortage of outrage... with say the little mermaid etc...

Now I will admit a good portion of it is that producers have really gotten shitty on writing in general, and often try and compensate it by throwing in a less represented in media character. IE say the last 2 doctors, girl ghostbusters etc... IE things aren't terrible because of diverse casting, but if it is terrible, diverse casting isn't going to fix it.

same reason why every black person in all positions is considered DEI even when they have decades of relevant experience pages, graduated top of their class in ivy league schools, and some white guy with middling experience, possibly even in the wrong field... gets put in and nobody questions it.

I fully agree as a tool LLMs are amazing. Throw in a config file or code that you know 99% of what it should be, but can't find what's wrong... and I'd say there's a good 70% chance it will find it... maybe chasing down one or 2 red herrings before it solves it.

The bad rap of course is simply the 2 main factors.

  1. idiots that use it to do the entire coding, and thus wind up with something they themselves don't have even the basic understanding of how it goes together, so they can't spot when it does something horrifically wrong.

  2. The overall reality that, no matter how you slice it, it costs an absurd amount to run these things. so.. while the AI companies are letting us use these things for free or off really cheap plans, it's actually costing real money to process, and realistically there's no sign of it reaching a point where there's actually a fair trade of value...

Very 100% agreed it's in the no shit sherlock category. The american people want you to at the very least pay lip service to the idea that you are going to try to make their lives better. Rather than just calling the republicans bad.

 

Hey everyone.

I have my homeassistant setup. Something I'm looking to do is a simple alarm clock, slowly turning up my LED strip, and gradually say turning on music in 1% increments. But I really haven't had much luck coming up with a not silly $100 + system to, just have a music player that hass can control. I have a basic bottom line tablet in our bedroom set up as a home assistant dashboard. we have a paid spotify account.

But I'm kind of losing my head trying to wrap around exactly what or how to actually get a controllable system. that can be set up in my bedroom without any costly additions to my bedroom. We have plenty of bluetooth speakers, but to my knowledge all of them require actually turning them on manually if they weren't playing music before. Which kind of negates their value for an alarm clock.
