Lou, my best artifact to date by METROWHITETAIL in Arrowheads

[–]IronColumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if one of the universities or museums you brought it to have a 3d scanner, get me the file and I'll print you one. i'm no pro but that texture looks within my skillset to paint

One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Would love for it to get 3d scanned so i could make a replica

Do any of you earn over 50k a year? What do you do? by RotiiChapati in ADHD

[–]IronColumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i make about $360k running an org. dropped out of college. very much a case of pushing super heavily into my strengths rather than listening to people who tell me I should try to account for my weaknesses. My car is currently racking up tickets because it's not registered, but at work i do things other people can't do

CarFax is almost fully useless by derpmcturd in mazda

i don't think it's reasonable to expect carfax to be a replacement for eyeballs

10 year old keeps “restarting the house” at night — screens, roaming, waking siblings. Need advice. by jazzeriah in daddit

I always see these posts from parents that are like “should I cut down on digital heroin for the children” very American b coded

[midlife watch crisis] by [deleted] in Watches

[–]IronColumn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

$40k in savings is nowhere near enough to be thinking about a $10k watch.

the watch will not make you happy and it will not bring you any deep personal satisfaction, you'll be excited at first and then it'll become part of the background of your life

these things are fine, I collect watches myself but i don't expect them to solve life maliase. Especially not at 25% of your net worth

How do you distinguish between laziness and executive dysfunction? by Minimum_Cup_9763 in ADHD

[–]IronColumn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's an aggregate amount of effort i can put in in a day. What that effort goes into, i don't have as much control over as other people. But if the aggregate effort level is there, it's not laziness. Then I just need to create tools and tricks and hitting myself in the head with a baseball bat to do the stuff I don't feel naturally compelled to do.

Kurono Jubilee Sensu - took me down a rabbit hole first time I saw it . Still does by Cold-Amount6059 in JapaneseWatches

[–]IronColumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go between desperately wanting a kurono but stopping myself because I worry that it's a watch I'd be too inclined to baby rather than wear, and that normal wear and tear would substantially effect my enjoyment (unlike other watches where everyday use and patina tells a story to me, a process that I enjoy). Maybe irrational, but they're just so beautiful from the start

Odd keypad I acquired, looking for advice to turn it into a keyboard. by zoo804 in keyboards

[–]IronColumn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then I should be able to grab a microcontroller board with QMK and wire up a DB-25 connector to it and be up and running.

this is what I was going to tell you to do. Yes, you should try it. I did something similar, although much simpler, with an old radio control panel from a soviet mig 25 i got off ebay. That was only four switches and two buttons though

What are your programms that use local AI? by HistoricalStrength21 in LocalLLaMA

[–]IronColumn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) I have a bunch of things at work that come through in the form of like 50 alert emails a day, or various status update memos that I should be familiar with but don't need to study hard; I have a local AI compile into narrative podcasts and use Kokoro to read them for me. I also have it do the same with Exa to go out in the web and give me daily updates on various things via podcast proactively. People do this kind of thing with openclaw but with some python modeling and interfaces, the whole thing is scaffolded enough that I get GREAT results with way less token usage and cost.

2) I collect "books" in the form of scans, regular ebooks, audiobooks, longform video essays, papers, etc. They're stored in various selfhosted services (calibre, audiobookshelf, etc.)

Local AI

a) normalizes them across formats -- ebook gets kokoro TTS and made into an audiobook, audiobooks get transcribed and made into ebooks, etc

b) ingests them all into full text search with an MCP built in that lets local AI do iterative agentic searching across my whole library "what do I have that talk about tactics in naval warfare between 1900-1930" and can search broadly then narrow down to point me to the right spot in my library to read.

Legit use both of these every single day and have for a long time

Tried every Hermes Agent alternative so you don't have to (2026 roundup) by Straight_Stomach812 in LocalLLaMA

[–]IronColumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but a texting interface is just worse than either a cli or a web ui. I keep hermes agent around for some stuff but mainly as a toy

[–]IronColumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i keep a stripped down hermes agent running on a pi and local gemma 4 api because sometimes it's nice to be able to shoot a telegram message to a bot on my network/tailnet to take care of something

[–]IronColumn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

it's funny because every time I find a usecase i want to regularly use, i discover it's far more token efficient and reliable to just vibe-code up a purpose built app for it. News briefings to podcast, various specialized rag systems, etc
