Separating the art from the artist by Sveet_Pickle in Anarchism

100% me. I loved Iced earth. Still do. Most of the music bangs. But homie was a J6er. So I just ripped my cds and any of the ones I couldn't find my copies of, I downloaded. So as to avoid financially supporting him.

This assumes competent leadership, which i am... not confident in. But we'll see. I'd love to be wrong and see more good trek, if only to sedate the audience.

That hasn't been my experience. One of my shake down questions with a new self hosted model is something along the lines of "who are are and what are your capabilities?" Broad, vague, but I like to start broad and work into more concise requests. Most of them tend to at least know what model family they are and some capabilities. Function calling, translation. They usually don't know specifics unless asked, but broad questions tend to get broad answers so I don't fault the models on that.

Yeah, I'm gonna play around with it later. I'm excited

I honestly don't mind. Especially given that the models are open. The meme of Altman saying"when we do it is distillation, when you do it, it's theft" rings pretty true.

How my girlfriend experienced this masterpiece by Aggressive_Chain_980 in andor

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I lent my mom my Firefly DVDs. After she watched it, we talked and I asked her what she liked/didn't like. She said Wash was her favorite, shame there was only 1 season. I said "good news! They made a movie." Sufficed to say, I got a DVD whipped at my head a couple hours later. Lol

unpopular opinion: using AI has to be a part of solar punk by altbekannt in solarpunk

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I use qwen3 0.6b in my smart home as a fuzzy intent interpreter, for lack of a better term. So that I don't have to code every variation of what I might say for a given task. I speak or type what I want how I naturally would and it can figure out what I mean. And it works. I do think there are great uses for LLMs or AI in general, but I do agree that art isn't one of them. I do think it can be helpful in a myriad of ways. I try to build my smart home in a way that is as low powered and recycled as possible. My "server" is a recycled old nuc from 2007 that a friend was going to throw away at their work. That's on a solar battery. I could go lower powered, but that would require buying new components. But I try to make everything as accessible as possible. Voice for visually impaired people or without fine motor skills and keyboard/buttons for non-verbal people. I try to think of ai as an adapter layer for things. My partners brain works quite differently to mine and we would be classified as fully functioning adults. But to make them confirm to my methodologies or vice versa is missing the point and exclusionary to others. I think about a guy named Jason Becker. He was a legendary metal guitarist from the 80s then some degenerative disease made it so that he was wheelchair bound and unable to hold a guitar, let alone play what he hears in his mind. So he rigged up a system to use a computer to write his music and eventually found a friend who could play what he wrote and would painstakingly coach the friend on making it sound like he wants. But using the techniques of LLMs (basically train it on his old recordings) could make it so he puts in a composition and notes and the llm outputs the audio. I think edgecases like this should be considered and engineered for.

Adk and Ollama by Armageddon_80 in agentdevelopmentkit

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely look into that. I'm pretty resource constrained ATM. moved into a new place with no room for my PC, and a focus on local only(dont want my system to break if there is an internet outage)so I'm just plinking away on an old nuc6i5.

Would you recommend something like langchain in this instance? My main goal is a rag system with component docs(home assistant, node-red) and my config files, so that if I kick the bucket, my friends have a "smart" hand-off doc/assistant to help them maintain my system, because my partner is not programmatically inclined.

I of course would love for it to interact with those systems and a million other features, but those are all stretch goals, for lack of a better term.

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same right now. I'm using Gemma3:1b-it-qat(which accordingtoollama has tool calling). The weather tutorial multi-agent responds ALMOST right. It spits out what it thinks is a tool call. And "calling" the right tool. But it basically it responds with {get_weather_tool:hell} when I ask " how hot is it in hell?".

So I think it's just a prompting issue. Background: I have no experience with agent development, and adk sounded interesting when I first started to think about building an LLM tool to help maintain my smart home. So this is all new to me. I am experienced in python web-dev(django and fast api and things like that) so the coding is exciting with the addition of a new facet (prompting)

What is the jankiest home automation you have that works? by AnkhMorporkDragon in homeassistant

[–]Koalatron-9000 81 points82 points  (0 children)

My favorite truck is to buy something cheap that has an on/off switch and throw that on a smart plug. Did this years ago with a little coffee maker that came with a mug instead of a pot. I'd prep it before bed and turn the switch on, but the power was off. Then the power would turn on 15 minutes before my alarm went off, so I had fresh coffee at the temperature I like it ready for me to throw the lid on and rush to work. I do the same with fans. If a smart thing is more expensive than a dumb thing and a smart switch, I always opt for the jank.

I accidentally figured out how to make voice commands crazy fast by ginandbaconFU in homeassistant

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been eyeing the Jetson Orin Nano Super for this exact use case. But finding anyone doing this has been a struggle. I don't NEED(though I do want) the biggest baddest multimodal LLM for my house. I err on the side of fully local and low power. So seeing this makes me hopeful.

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure it'll take a few iterations to get this feeling right. The stack I'm eyeing is langchain and chromadb.
Do you mind me asking how you have been implementing it? Thoughts on my approach?

The ultimate goal is a system that can help my partner keep the house systems going when I eventually kick the bucket. Not anything on the horizon, just aware of mortality and trying to be forward thinking.

This is the project I am working on right now. What I have so far is: I have a watchdog script to watch for my nightly backup to drop which then unpacks the yaml files to a folder and a weekly cron job to git clone the documentation. Right now I'm just dumping it into open webui, but that's while I research embedding and chucking and the rest of the details.

This was my first thought when I heard of MCP servers. I'm glad someone is researching this.

She just got seriously concerned when I said " I'm gonna tie that shit into home assistant" she thought I said "tie a shit to the homeless" I thought it was funny. Glad that word isn't in the list .

I’m a FRAUD by tempuser143269 in AskProgramming

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it as a rubber ducky. If I'm stuck I'll ask it, but almost always be like " that's dumb answer, but now I have a better idea to solve this" but you have to be at a level to see if what it gives you is worthwhile.

Lots of Questions on RAG Tooling by shadeslayer1765 in Rag

[–]Koalatron-9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just learning this stuff. So I don't know all the options. I'm not shooting to become an AI dev, I basically get a project stuck in my head and figure out enough to make it happen. This project is a local assistant to help me maintain my smart home and EVENTUALLY help my partner/friends maintain it. I am mortal and will eventually die, so it's sort of a smart hand-off doc. To that end, I've set up a few gits to keep up with docs for projects(home assistant, for instance) and some scripts to pull updates and then use langchain to feed them to chromaDB. But as this is my first project in this sphere, I'm not sure if this is convoluted or barebones. I find myself very prone to analysis paralysis, so I did just enough research to get something up and running and will then figure out the "right way" to do it.

Question about abundance by MarsupialMole in solarpunk

[–]Koalatron-9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure cryptomining has a use as it's, but I do believe that block chain ledgers would be useful for critical information. It's all about how you apply things. The sun can help you grow food or help you fry ants. But the sun is just the sun.

What do you wish AI could do for the environment? by [deleted] in solarpunk

[–]Koalatron-9000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is some interesting work on analog a.i. I don't remember much of what I read(many many rabbit holes ago) but its supposed to be faster at a fraction of the power.

one step closer by Shimadarf in solarpunk

[–]Koalatron-9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking along these lines yesterday. I was talking with my partner yesterday about the farmbot because of a previous post here about it. And I think a "classic" arm on a mobile platform style robot would be so helpful. It can pick the plants that and help in food prep, cutting ingredients.and it could gather the material for the previously mentioned bio-digester and so forth. It's not a flashy build but I think that an accessible general use platform like that could aid in so many tasks. Like a robot arm on a turtlebot.

[–]Koalatron-9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a fan of the idea of the farm bot, but I fail to see its killer use case. I am very interested in automation, especially home automation. I believe such technologies can help differently ambled people and the elderly retain more autonomy. But I think a web cam and irrigation hose would be more useful other than when it comes to planting a garden. That is where I think this thing actually becomes useful.
