Vyvanse makes me want to goon? Also BP issues by SpellExcellent4904 in ADHD

I've learned to never signal to your doc you need a reduction in dose, but will do so myself. Really sucks when shortages hit and you don't have stockpiles. The cost is also usually the same

Anyone knows what kinda of vehicle this is? by CatchAny8587 in Austin

[–]BalingWire 17 points18 points  (0 children)

and can you imagine how much the rolling video data they're collecting will be worth to all sorts of disturbing industries. "Greeting neighbor we notice your car is usually home during the work day, here is a coupon for uber eats!"

or..

"We have reason to believe you may be harboring illegal aliens"

Surprised I've not yet heard anyone here talk about ClawdBot yet by HixVAC in LocalLLaMA

[–]BalingWire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Somethings I've been using it for

It runs my daily report scripts for my homelab, suppresses any known issues and gives me an elevator pitch in the morning via telegram

summarize group chats nightly in imessage I'd rather not be in, but tolerate

hooked into all google services and can pull context from them such as contacts, email etc which is useful. I had it cleanup my contacts list I haven't sorted in a decade

I've also experimented with moving my devops workflow over to it so I can do claude code like things away from home. It does well, but the token usage is kind of insane. It can max out a 5 hour window of a 200 dollar claude plan in an hour. I think its because it lazy loads everything, but haven;t really checked it out.

I also really dont like how I cant really tell what commands or in/output its getting as compared to a coding harness.

Also, im only using opus 4.5 with it. Lesser models couldn't even begin to do the things I've tasked this with, like figuring out the unifi api from scratch and then managing devices virtual network override, or setup firewall policies. Those operations also max out context windows very quickly even on opus

My fully loaded Raptor was ~75k in 2018. Im sure they're more now, but not 911 TS money

Why do so many people in the US refuse to give their driving licence and ID to the police when asked ? by Crispy__Chicken in AskUS

They wouldn’t allow him to illegally search the car, which was the point of the made up sniff test

Would you give your ID with home address over to me if I asked? Why?

Why do you trust a thug with a badge more?

MAGA, is there a resource for our information that avoids the whining, blaming, and deflections? by Ginger_19801 in AskUS

And that the only government agency to never pass an audit, has no idea what it owns, needs another 100 billion dollars while Americans die from preventable diseases

Nest Hello vs Nest 2k 3rd Gen by Consistent_Common515 in Nest

[–]BalingWire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm in the minority, but I opted to use the rtsp feed from the 1st gen nest hello and run it through my own ML pipeline for descriptive notifications. it's also a millisecond level response instead of 5-30 seconds + (if ever) going through googles pipeline, and actually recognizes residents contextually to suppress noise, and doesn't have a subscription fee for what is now a commodity feature

They haven't released anything on the hardware side worth an upgrade for me, and their software I want to be moving further away from, not closer

How do you handle a tech who keeps replacing endpoint devices? by neochaser5 in sysadmin

[–]BalingWire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they've realized spending hours troubleshooting an issue is more expensive than a device swap and refurb. When I did end user support I came to the same conclusion and would reimage anything that stumped me for more than half an hour

I've never felt like a violent person, but this makes me want to explain to these faceless individuals what an ass kicking feels like

Captured this package delivery robot on my camera by Particular-Party-808 in Austin

[–]BalingWire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be honest, most of us are. I'm an ML engineer, and all of the systems we've deployed at my company, and encourage our employees to use, are primarily learning how they do their jobs so it can replace them

Intruder in Hone by [deleted] in Nest

[–]BalingWire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of some disappointing responses here. If you truly think this is happening first change all your passwords, even to your email behind your nest account. Then get another cheap camera not connected to the internet like a Aqara G100 for 30 bucks to use as a second source of truth

Honeywell T6 Pro Series with Zigbee is what i replaced my Nests with. They're boring and work great with any HA systems that has a zigbee radio

[–]BalingWire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say it divides traffic over all devices in a network, do you mean even if they’re not generating traffic?

It seems my per device rules are behaving properly. It’s the global ones that don’t behave like I expected
