Well they finally delivered a decent camera. That’s what made me buy one. It’s a step down from a Pixel 8 Pro but not a huge one.

A Perplexity knockoff?


If a power user, perhaps. But for a good UX enjoyers:

$ bluetoothctl


Missed that while skimming. Thanks!


Perhaps could compare similar data from countries that aren’t destroying their school systems as effectively.


This is the kind of thing I’ve been waiting for. Looks brand new. Is there anything more mature or this is the first of its kind?


Can’t vaccinate my ZFS pool against it…
The VIA software is online only for convenience. It’s open source and you can run it yourself offline or get a pre-packaged desktop version.
E: Didn’t realize they now have a different software app.


I’m using the HA PE hardware. The wake word sensitivity is set to max. I’m currently using the default Home Assistant (Nabu Casa) cloud STT and TTS. I’m using Qwen 8b running on Ollama via the Ollama HA integration. It runs on my main computer on the same network. I’ve tested local STT and TTS and it works great. The only reason I’m currently using the cloud one is that there’s a specific voice that sounded good for a Santa Claus assistant for the holidays. We haven’t encountered significant issues with the wakeword. Gotta yell louder sometimes. It activates from the TV sometimes. Speech recognition is pretty flawless. Neither me or my wife is a native English speaker but we don’t have super heavy accents.
The one thing that made it great was the addition of the LLM. With it I don’t have to remember the exact names of devices or the correct phrasing to get HA to do what I want. It also allows for multiple actions in a single instruction. Since it’s an LLM you could also ask it to do LLM things. Like give you a semi-accurate fact or do basic math wrong:

If you’d like to know specifics, ask.


Another symptom of the collapse of the model
An international airport without fuel for weeks is an exceptional and very uncommon situation in countries with functioning economies. In the case of Cuba, this adds to a context marked by daily blackouts, rampant inflation, shortages of food and medicine, a standstill in tourism, and mass emigration. The inability to guarantee fuel for civil aviation not only jeopardizes the country’s connectivity with the outside world, but also highlights the logistical collapse of a model incapable of sustaining basic strategic services. While the regime insists on blaming external factors, the facts demonstrate a deep crisis that is already isolating Cuba, even by air.
There’s also this gem of a paragraph.

Yeah HA voice replaced the Google speakers for me. HA make a speaker for this.


I concur. Use HA with Zigbee and/or Z-Wave. Expose to Google Home as needed. You can expose idividual devices. That said switching to HA as main iterface is pretty painless and HA Voice is better than Google’s.*


Completely agree. A lot of countries were on some path or another of dealing with capitalism’s collapse during The Great Depression. The propaganda you mention steered these changes right back to the right - towards oligarch class dominance over working people. And we find ourselves in a situation very reminiscent to the pre-depression environment.


Yeah, you’re probably right. Unionization rate is around 16%. Workers won’t see much from this investment.


Takaichi is known for favouring proactive government spending. She supports heavy government investment in critical strategic sectors in what she refers to as “crisis management investment”. These include artificial intelligence, semiconductors, nuclear fusion, biotechnology, and defence.
Her other policies aside, the economic one looks like a winner.
