But… That would force them to provide a great user experience in order to retain users!! That’s an unacceptable burden on the largest companies in the world!!

Yeah. Honestly. For platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, mandate chronological feeds of only people you have followed, paginated at like 30.

I feel like one could legitimately run on this platform at this point.

They saved lifes.

Glad to have cleared that up for you 👍

No

That’s not a physics statement btw. I just think that you, personally, are too slow to be able to do that. Offense intended.

Oh, also: you should cross-post this to [email protected], they will absolutely love this.

Hah, nice read.

It’s always been wild to me how the idea of “a future AI threatens incredible suffering if you don’t help it come into existence” sparks “oh, then I better help create the torture-AI” in people, rather than “what the fuck, that’s evil and cruel, let’s make sure this doesn’t come to pass”.

But of course, the Rolo folks start from the notion that this AI is 100% inevitable, at which point… There’s no need to sadistically torture people.

In the same vein as “God can’t be all-powerful and all-good”:

The AGI either doesn’t exist, or has no need to torture people.

This started off as a single file in my private nix config, to see if I could get it working at all. In that initial part, some parts were indeed LLM generated (esp. testcases based on my existing intents and failures).

When I noticed that this might actually work and be useful not just for myself though, I moved everything out manually, refactored and cleaned it up, and everything since has just been myself. I guess you’re still right though. I’ll see about adding a disclaimer to the README until I’ve gotten the chance to properly rewrite everything.

Huh, interesting. Does that work with wildcards like “put x on my shopping list”? Also, what are you using for that, if I may ask?

Sorry, I don’t quite follow 😅

What’s the problematic response?

Yay, that’s fantastic to hear!

Also, how’s your experience been with the PE? Getting a readymade device in a nice shell is appealing for sure 😅

Oh, in the demo gif, that’s via a shortcut (holding power for half a second). Sorry, can’t help with wakeword there 😅

Very cool. I’ll definitely look into that, and let you know back here :D

Glad to be of service… 😄

did you consider metaphone matching?

I did not even know about this. Sounds super interesting. Though it seems to be very language specific?

My original intent was to not rely on language specifics. But maybe we could just define additional steps in the pipeline for specific languages. Hm. I’ll have to think about this some more, but it might definitely be a great idea for a future version, so thanks for telling me about it!!

Have fun, hope this works out for you! FYI: you can also use an LLM as an additional fallback (first closest-intent, then on failure, LLM). README mentions it further down on Github.

No maybe just active poisons.

But again: I know this is unrealistic.

Well then… compliments to your sister for the choice.

Wait, so the printer chose you?

I bought a Brother HL-L2375DW a couple of years back specifically for Linux compatibility, and it did NOT disappoint.

• haven’t had a single error
• has not refused to print a single time
• super quick, good quality, duplex
• using cheap 3rd party toner without complaint
• works perfectly from Linux

I don’t usually like to recommend brands/products, but this is the exception. If you need a printer, and black and white is all you need, go for this one.

So for context, I actually drink, more than I probably should. I have a well stocked home bar, and trying or inventing new cocktails is almost a hobby for me and my partner.

I also come from a country with a veeeeeeery ingrained alcohol culture.

I’d still vote for an alcohol ban. Yes this is hypocritical when looking at my current habits. I don’t really have a point here, beyond saying that, even if banning alcohol is unrealistic, drinking alcohol being gone from the world is still a good idea in principle, the same as with tobacco.
