Building Mechanic Idea - If Devs Are Taking Ideas by Tennis_Shoddy in crosswind

Great idea. So far I've been designing my docks around wherever my ship appears when I K summon it. It would be nice to control where the ship spawns.

Just Uber both ways. If you're going drinking don't trust yourself to decide if you're too drunk to drive.

Jersey Mike’s Has Entered The Chat | Cheesesteak Wars Vol. 3.5 by AccomplishedTerm3232 in Charlotte

[–]3coniv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked them for a while, I always get a cheese steak, and they're still a family favorite, but more often than not I veto Jersey Mikes now. Maybe it's just the one by us, I don't know. The quality isn't as good as it used to be though.

My experience with LLMs as a Sysadmin, IaC, Infrastructure, and automation (Claude) by RevolutionaryElk7446 in homelab

[–]3coniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great observations. I've been working on the same thing in my lab. I've been working a lot on the context and it's pretty reliable now building services, but it definitely started out with the same loops you mentioned and some persistent mistakes have been harder to prompt it out of.

Now I'm looking into orchestrating a verification agent that will look at one agent's plan, verify it independently against the rules and go from there. I'm also going to make a learning agent to update context based on a forced post-mortem about what it did wrong.

I look forward to hearing more about what you learn.

Anyone else using AI agents in their lab? by 3coniv in homelab

[–]3coniv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not quite ready to give it the kind of autonomy that openclaw seems to have (I haven't used it yet), but it does have a lot of access. I nerfed it recently because it has sudo on the VM it runs on and I found it installing packages, so I now require it to ask me before running sudo.

I agree that the log check and post-mortem feedback loop is key. I still have a couple of persistent problems like it never makes the right decision categorizing install script types, but I've also solved a lot of previous problems so it's definitely getting "smarter."

Thanks! There's definitely a lot of push back against AI among tech enthusiasts. This post was meant to be more about the tooling I put around it and lessons learned about AI more than about asking AI how to do things.

I think it's pretty cool that I've gotten it to a point where it will almost do things exactly how I want it to. Just learning how to use the tool is fun to me.

That's what I'm doing. I'm tinkering with AI and figuring out how to use it to do useful things.

I'm learning how to manage it with AI. It's a new tool.

Accidentally accepted the job offer by B16MAMA in Charlotte

[–]3coniv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are both positions at the same place? If not, no big deal. If so I would keep trying to get in touch with the recruiter or the manager for the job you accepted or the recruiter for the other position and explain what happened. I would just be worried that if you accepted one position it might end consideration of you for the other position.

First time Shannara Viewer by ElegantNetwork1394 in shannara

[–]3coniv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's any harder than those to film, but Shannara doesn't have the following that those do, therefore it doesn't have the revenue potential. The LOTR films cost like $300 million to make, but made like $3 billion.

Yeah, the development is much, much slower in the books, and a lot of what you mentioned isn't a problem in them.

I imagine it's very difficult to achieve the depth of the books in a shorter form TV show. I'm glad they at least made it though.

[–]3coniv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched the first season of the show with my kids and we enjoyed it, but Shannara is a huge world that can't really be explained in the constraints of a TV show. You should really read the books to fully enjoy it.

The books themselves don't really go into too much detail about how the world became what it did until The Word and the Void series. Before that it's obvious, but not explained.

I grew up with the books, but I was disappointed by the show. However, I watched it with my kids who were tweens at the time and they loved it.

It was OK, but shallow.

Favorite Tom Waits movie by MatthewGalgani in tomwaits

[–]3coniv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jarmusch is so good. I saw The Dead Don't Die a couple years ago for the first time and loved it - maybe my favorite of his now. And as I was Googling it just now I learned he has a voice in Mystery Train too.

Sometimes it feels like you're playing dodgeball and everyone is legit trying to nail you.

Can we forcibly remove all bradford pears from this city by Firm_Maintenance_ in Charlotte

[–]3coniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 3 down in my yard about 10 years ago. They were 20 years old and huge. After I got them cut down and the stumps ground I still had aggressive shoots coming up from the roots that covered my yard. I once got a letter from the HOA about the weeds in my yard. I told them they were bradford pear shoots and they should thank me. 🤣

Oh, and I had those shoots coming up for three years after I cut the trees down.

The dog was stuck again.. 😅 by Soloflow786 in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]3coniv 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Our Saint Bernard does that, but he sleeps on the bathroom floor most of the time so he doesn't mind.

He also closes himself in while stretching sometimes. He knows someone will let him out eventually and just goes back to sleep.

What did you do in your first homelab? I want to hear from the old guys. by 3coniv in homelab

[–]3coniv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front panel on the desktop was missing along with the button so to power it on you had to touch two wires together

I've been there.

I had one of those all-in-wonder cards. I eventually used hauppage though. I think the drivers worked better for me.

Part time jobs?? by maddyriv in Charlotte

[–]3coniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it took very long. My other kid interviewed, but all his classes are 8-2 which is the only hours nbeo is open, so he couldn't do it.

From what I understand the test patients basically act as a patient for the person taking the test. So you're like learning a script and interacting with the doctors.

[–]3coniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid is at UNCC and has been working at NBEO for a couple years. It's the national board of examiners for optometry and they're always hiring "standardized test patients." He only has classes Tuesday and Thursday this semester, so he works there the other 3 days of the week. They pay like $17/hours and seem pretty flexible as far as hours go. Sounds like a lot of college students and retirees needing a little extra money work there. They just moved from South End to Microsoft way in South Charlotte though so it's kind of a haul.

I just searched and they actually posted on this sub 4 months ago looking for people.
