changed my speech based computer control to buffer until I say "execute" and it's been a lot nicer to use as a result. Before I would constantly interrupt the inference if I took too long of a pause and caused cache misses and general confusion. The STT is still a bit shit and misses the start of sentences sometimes. 😅
@brandon I've been eyeing one of these removable cell packs. Having a whole bunch of cells to swap in and out would feel so satisfying. I don't think I've seen any with a high enough output/capacity yet though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009572944530.html
@brandon Do you have an uninterrupted power supply? My issue is that every time I plug something in it power cycles. 🥶
I was thinking of adding some images but I think I'll focus on text descriptions instead so blind readers get the picture and sighted folks can just click through on the links to the product pages.
Software quality would improve greatly if developers were forced to work on a device with a 10 year old CPU, 25G of storage, and 2GB of ram. The amount of resources necessary to do the simplest of operations is just bonkers. Not everyone has infinite disc space, and a never ending supply of RAM.

We invented the internet specifically to be resilient through decentralisation, then spent the last twenty years cramming the whole thing into three cloud providers and calling it "progress."
Ukraine just reminded us in real-time why single points of failure are a bad idea, yet somehow, we’ll still act shocked the next time one outage takes down half the planet.
This is a subtoot about Microsoft.
Edit: Changed "survive a nuclear war" to "be resilient"
The main question seems to be about our use of LLMs in our development process. Main concern is with liability and ownership with code.
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
