What would you recommend learning instead?

A pizza stone can definitely help. You might also prebake the crust for a few minutes before adding sauce+toppings, it can help with soggy bottoms.

We have also made small amounts of fire on Mars.

Nice poem.

....don't feed bears. They turn to a life of petty crime.

If you are primitive camping, a big bucket of water and a spade or sturdy stick are your friends. Thoroughly douse the embers, break up the coals, douse it again for good measure, then scatter any remaining cool ashes outside the campsite.

You'll experience an incredible lack of learning and knowledge, eventually followed by death. Statistically speaking.

Soon, human. You cannot watch it forever.

Ugh, I KNOW. All these people developing these amazing alternatives and I have to checks notes make an effort to degoogle myself for my own good. SIGH.

C'mon man, don't be a square.

Boy, that cat sure has egg on it's face.

Furthermore, I consider that Nestle must be destroyed.

Hear hear.

Have you played around with hosting your own LLM? I've just started running oobabooga, it lets you download various LLMs and host them. I've been working on getting it set up so the AI can provide text for Piper, and take input from Whisper. It requires ideally an nvidia card, but will work with AMD and CPU. That would let you use the API to get text for piper to read. It's a lot more privacy oriented than sending your queries off to ChatGPT. The larger models do take more CPU/RAM/VRAM to run, but perhaps a smaller tuned model would suit your needs.

ABSOLUTELY.

Never use one source for critical data! One backup is no backups! No backups is playing with the entropic forces of the universe!

1. Have at least three copies of your data - primary, backup, and offsite backup.
2. Store the copies on at least two different media types.
3. Keep at least one of those copies offsite - what if your house or datacenter burned down?

If you don't care about recovering your photos, by all means use an actively changing project as your sole means of data storage!

Hey, you cruise, you lose. Don't worry, they'll keep it warm for you!

I like the concept, here's a few questions!

• What's the form factor of your project?
• Will it be waterproof or just a housing for the electronics?
• Is it wall powered or battery?

I've been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I'm wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I'd prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.

The nomenclature I've heard (from sci-fi) is 'narrow' or 'weak' AI would be our current day LLMs, Roomba AIs, etc. It's restricted in capability and lacks true intelligence. 'Strong' or 'General' AI would be at the level of a human and have true comprehension and the ability to learn. We don't have this yet, unless Dr. Alfred J. Lanning is out there working on positronics. 'Super' AI will be beyond human capability. Probably will kick off the Singularity.

Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for 'rising market costs'!

So uh, what are the story beats of Squadron 42, exactly? And what kind of release date does it have? And say, what exactly, are the features it offers? Because it's been in development for 10 years now, and literally all I've ever heard is 'It'll be good, trust us!', and yet I've seen less gameplay from it then Star Marine.

I'm running a few Reolink RLC-520A's on a separate VLAN with Frigate and Home Assistant - no GPU or Coral yet, just a CPU detector. It works pretty well! The reason they might not be the first choice is that YMMV with HA/Frigate compatibility based on which model you get, a little research must be done. Frigate has some specific settings to make the RTSP work better on the models that are functional.
