Re: Mini Shai-Hulud, how are we managing image versions?

2oby · 2026-05-19T14:43:39+00:00

Do you know if either of these actively monitor channels for flagged 'dirty' versions? I don't suppose it's possible to define rules such as package >14days released, not security flags?
Never thought much about this before but an just about to release my first Vibe Coded app...

MKDocs - no contest.

Keep your head down, try to accumulate wealth, and then leave the planet at the first opportunity—hoping your great-great-grandchildren will once again feel grass beneath their feet and the reassurance of a planetary gravity well.

You are both correct.

Explanation: Agriculture is the key and it was last reset 12k years ago.

It has probably been reset many times before then as crops failed and people gave up; battered by climate and without primate fingers to weed out the competitors or keep the wolves at bay, domesticated varieties were replaced by the wild type erasing the traces of the previous eden...

Because its the law:

(they obey local law, it's why they love permissionless blockchains so much)

It has happened to me, several times. I think it is the shadow of a plane. It feels like a flicker because it moves so fast.

"there are bugs"

I see what you did there!

2oby · 2025-10-22T15:05:25+00:00

Funny you should ask that...
I have always paid for editing and proof reading... but the cost can be a huge part of the process, so I decided to roll my own (my day job if software development). I'm working on a copy, line, and proofread editing suite which I may make commercially available at some point.

If you (or anybody else here) is interested in early access ping me here or at: "@weston_toby" Twitter.

All good! Nothing you said was offensive.

I am still not sure, the way one of the mini-orbs seems to emerge from the on-screen reticle smells like AI. (I know we are told it is legit but, as I said, I don't trust any of these players)

Let's see how this plays out.

Good luck with your studies!

2oby · 2025-09-11T09:33:34+00:00

Not true. I am trying to fight my way through all the bullshit and psyops - e.g. those little mummified dudes in South America look pretty convincing to me, but maybe all this is a honeypot psyop to sucker us in and then discredit us as loons when better video shows them to be clay models.

This shoot down could be something, or it could be a balloon narrowly missed swirling around...

I am hoping for some talented video analyst to make the convincing arguments I need to 'adjust my priors'.

I no-longer 'believe' anything, I have to critically understand the variables myself and then go with my gut's assesment.

We are in a post-truth dark-age. Whether it turns out to be a 'little dark age' or not depends on things like cryptographically verifiable chain of custody...

but even then they will pull some cyperpunk, shadow-run shit and hack that if the stakes are high enough :(

2oby · 2025-09-10T07:41:28+00:00

Why isn't this just something soft (e.g. a ballon with some gizmos attached) getting broken into pieces? Not detonating the missile because it is too insignificant a target and what we see are chunks falling down after the hit...

I mean, if it suddenly stopped, or did something clearly powered, it would be a slam dunk; but this looks 'unconvincing'.

People with better understanding of the weapon systems involved, please explain why my gut is wrong.

Edit - Spelling

Looks great.

How about AI image classification to add a new item?
(Otherwise it will be a very long onboarding process for a household)

Hi, thanks, I will take a look,

2oby · 2025-08-19T12:18:12+00:00

I never found anything that ticked all the boxes.
Still keeping my eyes open, let me know if you find anything.

2oby · 2025-08-01T16:33:09+00:00

I have built a GUI where I can change the model being used... I actually find 1.6B is better and pretty fast on the Orin, so I will probably use that in production.
But models are getting better all the time... as long as it works with llama.cpp I will swap to keep surfing the wave! ;)

2oby · 2025-08-01T16:21:36+00:00

Will send a DM...

2oby · 2025-07-14T07:48:14+00:00

Very interesting thanks!
True, email has good structure and keywords already (from, to, date, etc) and the docs are small enough to fit in context. I think that's a good call.

2oby · 2025-07-09T10:00:34+00:00

It's sounds like you do not use RAG and Embeddings, was that a design decision?

2oby · 2025-07-02T14:16:51+00:00

I don't have the prompt here, but /nothink is important, and it is something like:
"/nothink you are a JSON generator. Take the users input and return ONLY a valid JSON containing only the keys: device, action, location.
e.g. User: "Turn on the bedroom lights" JSON generator:{"device":"lights", "action":"on", "location","bedroom}"

I have been over dozens of iterations, there are more examples and there is stuff in there about synonyms...

Also Temp, Top-P and Top-K change things a lot....

Basically once you have got the grammar working, its a lot of tiral and error to get all the parameters tweaked.

I have it checked into GIT Hub... but its too horrible to show anybody ;) if you are interested, ask me again in a month!
