I be been fiddling with home assistants voice thing a bit and like wvwry4hing home assistant the process has been frustrating and bordering on Kafkaesque. I bought these atom echo things they recommend which don't seem to make the best google home replacements, and in struggling to figure out how to get home assistant to pipe the sound out of another device, thereby making them useful.

Admittedly this may be simpler if all I was looking to do is say things and have stuff happen in a default voice model, but I fine tuned my own RTS voice model(s) and am looking to be able to use them for controlling homeass as well as for general inference when i feel like it.

I've spent some tim3, not a lot but some, trying to find out what devices can be m2dia players and under what conditions and how (or whether) you can use esp home to pipe audio through the media player / use USB mics as microphones for the voice stuff.

I'm kind of at a loss as far as understanding what the actual intention was for homeless' year of the voice, so I've be3n thinking that maybe offloading some of my goals to a container or VM on TNT server running homeless on proxmox may be a better path forward. I came across this post just in time it seems.

This is one of those things no one talks about but should. This is what the morning after do8ng a bunch if cocaine is like every time.

You're misunderstanding my use of the phrase.

I'm using it in the context or immersing in something you have no understanding of. I just dove right into and skipped most of the intro type stuff.

You're using the phrase to talk about relative complexity / difficulty not how I've usually heard it used but it makes sense.

Like. Most people learning python start with hello world. I spent too many hours learning to own hot encode a 500gb dataset of reddit porn and tweak stylegan 3 a bit to train it on porn. None of which is remarkable objectively but there were a lot of very basic things I needed to learn to finish the task. That's what I mean by jumping in the deep end - throwing yourself into something you are probably poorly or il equipped for and just figuring it out as you go.

There is a deep end of coding complexity of course, but, different kind of deep end.

I'm }picturing dudes coming up from underground looking just a little bit dirty pretending to wipe off all the helium they've been mining while huge dump trucks and conveyor belts industriously rumble away carrying literally nothing nowhere. A concerned supervisor runs over to one of the miners like "god damn it Joel,. I told you to be careful. You're covered in helium! We're you even wearing your protective gloves? Look at your hands

. The men g)are angrily as a dumpy Rick carying a load of helium }pulls around just as one of the execs from head office pulls up in a golf cart, leisurely motions to the dump truck driver to stop, and cautiously climbs up into the bed of the truck to reach in. He climbs down, looking bemused, running his thumb and index finger together.

" Fine helium boys, great work out there today" he says after gingerly tasting nothing on his finger.

" But see, we've got a little problem".

The men, grizzled helium miners all, look concerned but defiant. These rugged hardworking may ultimately be under this man's purview, but they'll never respect soft hands with manicured nails that have never felt thing ring of the pickaxe against a brand new helium de}osit deep in mother earth.

The men's defiance seems ready to boil over in rage as security personal, a dozen of them, from lines around the mean, prepared for any trouble that might arise.

You see", the executive drawls smugly " recent shipments have been a little.... Light".

The men look around nervously, as if a{using looking at Joel on purpose. This is a trepidation the executive does not share as,. Motioning to security guards he walks towards Joel.

" Say, ajoel, is it? How were the men's today. "

Joe smiles wanly, says nothing.

" Well, Joel? What's it like down there, huh?

Joel \inces as he replies " it was good" his voice is as high pitched as the backing of a 90s techno song. Joel is grabbed by security guards as the executive roughly reaches into Joel's c{versllys.

He holds an empty hand up as if holding something, displaying it before the miners.

" Aha! Pure helium. Our helium. And don't you forget it boys. "

Then men glare angrily at the executive, sympathetically at Joe, as they head off towards the showers to cleanse themselves of helium residue before heading home

So, I don't really understand this, but., why use Wayland? All I ever read about with it is problems about compatibility and functionality. I don't understand what the benefits are. Or what it does that do different than x

Its why I love the steam controller.

I have three or four. A couple are dead. And I dread my last ones dying too. The durability is not great.

But being able to game on the couch is just.. man, so amazing. I really very badly want a steam controller 2. It was, imo, the best thing to happen to PC gaming in years.

Give. The stea. Deckss popularity, and how they used everything they learned from the steam controller to make the controls on the deck what they apparently are, I'm holding out hopes that perhaps well one day get a vw steam controller.

Please?

I got a Chromecast on sale for like $15 last year when I read that they could be rooted.

This was not he case. I have get to use it.

Imo ",the trans issue" is cut and dry. Be who you want, do what you want. Doesn't affect me, or anyone else.

I'm starting to take an issue with everyone who isn't trans though, and how weirdly obsessive and angry everyone iand their mother is about an issue that doesn't affect a vast majority of the population.

I get that people can care about more than one issue at once. But wage inequality, homelessness, war, genocide,declining standards of living, student loans - there are so many issues that deserve our collective consideration and action on more.

It's a non issue. What other people do to themselves and how they present themselves is their business. Its not that these issues don't matter, they do, but we have bigger fish to fry and while I'm personally glad to see such a widespread desire to advance causes like this I can't help but feel like the time so many people spend bickering online about it is time that could be better spent offline doing things that would advance these causes anyway.

And it doesn't help that the time spent bickering isn't even productive. It's just people who already agree withe sch otherr aggressively reinforcing each others,' beliefs to the point of militancy.

I'm not allowed to have opinions on the subject, and I largely don't because it really doesn't affect me snd I'm already in support of people being able to live how they choose anyway, but I'm bombarded with posts about the issue wherever I go, and I'm ju#t so fatigued by how little it matters on the grand scale of things, while being sensitive to how it can be the most important things of the world to some people.

I think he's controller by bees. The queen lives inside of his hat.

Lthe answer is hamster. S thousand hamsters in a thousand hamsters wheels in every car. They'll eat their young so it'll be a self sustaining eco system.

Water, I think? I think the hydrogen is less of an issue than the hydrogen fuel cell though.

Only 10 more years to go!

I can't do math for shit and I failed formal logic in uni. I'm not built for math. I just.... Don't care and can't make myself care. I've taught myself python over the past year and amd have become fairly comfortable with bash. Which has weirdly helped me with python?

Anyway I'm not very good at either yet. And there are huge gaps in my knowledge. But I'm learning every day.

I've done it on my own, and dove right into the fucking deep end with it which is probably the hardest way. But if I can do it then anyone can. You just need to want it. Why do I want it? I have no idea. If go crazy doing it for a living.

The more ive learned to code and the better I've become at solving my own problems on Linux, the more I've been absolutely fucking bewildered about how so many people can spend so much time and effort into projects they care deeply about and fail to include even the most basic of necessary instructions. Like "this one simple step is crucial and you can't do fuck all else if you don't do it", kind of necessary

I think they want people to use the things they built, right? And yet, here'you are in a Kafkaesque nightmare with no visible exit, seemingly alone as if you're the only person to ever actually need the crucial but of instructions necessary to make this thing work.

You wonder: am I just an idiot? Iss everything else in on something that I just don't get? So you spend hours pissing into the wind as Google tantalizingly dangles tangential words at you, having become the internet equivalent of a bully snatching away the toy you brought for show and tell while swearing THIS is the last time, and you soldier onwards for hours, determined that you're going to get this fucking thing working even though you know that for the sake of your sanity and our limited time on earth the better choice would be to give up. You make a point to leave a comment about your struggle on GitHub, just in case someone else finds themselves in your position one day, feeling less like an accomplished problem solver and more like someone who's had to pop their own dislocated shoulder into place after dropping a piping hot pizza and falling on black I d. You've learned something, you're more self reliant, this will be less serious in the futurre, but you can't shake this weird feeling growing ever more insistent, a question you just can't seem to answer: why? You'll never know, and though it bothers you, you set to work trying to get this new image generation model to make you some anime women with comically oversized tits and worryingly unnaturally thin waists.

It was all backed up publicly on push shift. Still is.

So, for an example of what the other user was talking about, I'm just some guy and for my first foray inyo programming / machine learning (I kind of just threw myself into the deep end) I modified stylegan 3 and trained it on about 500g of reddit porn that I scraped off reddit.

Now, I stopped the training after about a week (it was going to take about a solid month on my rtx 2080 ti) when I found out stable diffusion existed but I learned a LOT from that experience.

I couldn't do that now. Arguably none of that was how any of that should be done but whatever.

And nobody gives a shit :(

Foucault was right. Civilization is just a fucked up sadomasochistic relationship. People want to be oppressed.

Train ai to I filtrate Google and kill sundar prichai.

It won't help anyone's bottom line but then at least sundar prichai would be dead.

I was once transferred 14 times but Amazon customer service. I refused to log off the chat, and insisted each new person read the entire chat history this far while being pleasant and polite "wow 14 times, is this a new world record? I bet we do it kurpreet, let's go!"

I was trying to arrange for pi kuo of a vacuum cleaner that was foa. Wouldn't take no for an answer. Politely.

Eventually they just said keep the vacuum cleaner it's on us.

Wow. I understood most of this.

My dick is still out
