There is the standard AI hate, my comment isn't about that.

I think AI has an actual place in weather - but in the prediction of weather. AI models using info and patterns we can't see on top of modern meteorology is amazing and I'm happy to see that happening.

This, this is just idiotic corporate pushes of "Put more AI in things". I don't need it to drain my battery to summarize the weather. I can see a forecast for the day and know what it means, I've been doing that for decades now. It's more performative for investors than useful for me.

I'm sorry this is unpopular opinions

HIMYM was a show that gave me comfort as an awkward kid in a tiny rural hateful town. No it wasn't the best, but you're spot on about the city. It was the last member of the gang. Now I moved to a city and love it, in no small part to the show

Don't forget they have (for sure) spent millions on marketing firms to tell them that this was the best option

Seriously, I try to excuse people, maybe they are having intense diarrhea and are running home to not shit themselves - but even then you can use a turn signal. It doesn't slow you down

Oh my god, did they have to be in the same building as one?! The horror

So you're getting into function/tool calling with llms. If you don't know, they are structured things that you give to your LLM (at the API/model level, not you directly) that says "I have coded a function called get weather, if the user asks about the weather, let me know by returning a tool call response asking for the weather and I will get it for you" (in layman's terms).

This is how HA works too, if you ask the LLM to do something it is essentially running a tool call to HA for you.

Now, for your question, I'm betting there are ways to add in more, if HA supports this, idk. However, that's what you're looking for. It's also kinda named Agents, like you would create a web agent which takes in what the LLM asks for, gets the top 10 responses, collates them and gives them back to the LLM for summarization.

I'm guessing others have done this, but now you know what you're looking for!

I loved it. I set up all these different colors to tell me what the priority was for checking. SMS was green, email was yellow or something, and FB (so cool back then) was blue. I really miss that, could just glance at it and know if it was worth risking pulling out your phone in school

Hm, have a few based on how popular they were. Kickstart discussion!

Hot take - the Office is too hated now. I think that it's fair to hate it now in comparison to many other (honestly better) shows, but forget what TV was like in the 90s and 00s. No committal sitcoms in the 4-camera layout, taking no risks, with lame-ass jokes. The office is not perfect - but it definitely broke the mold and kickstarted the modern mockumentary style of show. Thanks to it we got shows like Parks and Rec and 30 rock, none of which would have been approved without the Office first.

New Girl - Honestly, it's a fun show. No I wouldn't expect it to win any Emmys, and like all sitcoms it's main characters are all psycopath/narcissists, but it's fun. Zooey Deschanel does a great job, she's over the top like she is in everything but I never found it too annoying, and she's mellowed by a great ensemble cast. The stories are light and the humor gets a chuckle out out of me

and what the hell rule of 3s. I'll say NCIS - hated by our age demographic - but hey what the hell else would we watch when our older family members were visiting?

they say after driving 1 hour round trip every day on government-paid roads with their thin-blue-line sticker

Maybe they should see if that weird Jesus guy had it

Calling Visa today for mine! I don't play those games, but I hate the precedent. It is not a payment processor's job to dictate what can and can't be done. (Now, I have worked FinTech for many years, there is a legit risk they are taking that the feds would blame them however -) it should be on the company selling the product itself, and any decent legal team at a payment processor would be able to handle it like a normal Tuesday.

I forgot Awards existed (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

I just got this email from Reddit, and I just realized it's been a year now since I swapped over here, and I haven't thought about awards once. I always thought they were gimmicky and a way for people to throw away money. It's just really nice not worrying about them.

(I also have participated more in BuyMeACoffee and Patreon over here now, and I think my money is better spent that way)

Also, what is with that exponential scale, so screw you if you're a big time user apparently? And the expiration? The whole thing has corpo stink on it

 

Always call out Cloudflare for their bullshit. For those working for companies in devops, share this with your teams...

 

I don't always love his videos, but this one hits home.

I'm childfree for many reasons, but there are so many obvious ones - no one should be wondering why millennials are choosing not to have kids.

 

The first TTPD remix is officially out

 
 

This article is a few months old but it's a good one. Why does the media continuously use Taylor Swift even if the article is barely about her?

tldr - clickbait. They use her name because it brings in clicks. I recommend still reading this article though.

We also have a new rule here, these articles (which I've dubbed "shoehorn articles" where they really shoehorn her in, unless anyone has a better term), are now subject for removal. The subject may be valuable - but post it where it belongs on the fediverse instead of trying to force it to be about Taylor.

 

Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing.

However, what I didn't bet on was the amount of garbage, terrible movies she would give me. There's a few that are fine, but the vast majority are, well I'll just put it bluntly, christian propaganda. I don't think any of them are as terrible as some of the worst case, but think "My life was horrible until I found god now look and see how fulfilled I am" type propaganda - and they make for horrible plots. Left Behind with Kirk Cameron is a good example. Even removing the blatent boring christian plots - it's just a horribly made movie. Cheap, not thought out well, and honestly I read the book decades ago, it's a horrible adaptation too.

Not that I keep only top tier movies in my libraries, but these are, well they just bring a pit to my stomach.

What would you do in my situation? (And I'm going to go ahead and say the pure atheist comments aren't needed, yes of course I could burn them, or dance around them, but I'm not looking to just burn the bridge between my mother and myself over a lifetime of her indoctrination and bad taste in movies). I'm more looking for generic, how do you handle your users asking you to put content you don't find appealing on your server?

 

Hey folks, I've been training Loras now for a while, and have some scripts I really like that I've been working with. However, I realized I haven't been keeping up lately, so, is SDXL still the best for Loras? And by that I mean before with 1.5 and standard SDXL is the most accurate quality I've received.

My Loras seem to work fine with Lightning and Turbo models, but is there anything else I should look into? Any major things that you've changed in the last 6 months to your trainings? Is sdxl_base the best basemodel to train off of?
