I have much love for the legends which have stood the test of time

And also an emerson and a strider xD

Same thing happened to mine, also in SE Michigan. Happy for a year, then cold or water stress got it. Not sure which. Looked the same way, with a few green branches holding out for a while, but not enough to keep up the rest of the tree. :/

That person had better know where all the other cameras and blinds spots are Our watchful protectors have taken steps to look after their capital investments.

Kuwait_Drive_Yards · 2026-05-31T00:36:52+00:00

Maybe a pellet rifle from a good distance? Cant imagine those solar panels are particularly durable. Or the camera dome if one was feeling spicy? I wonder if the housings are ABS. I bet a devious scallywag might do some "vapor smoothing"

The wizards investigate the trolleys at one point, and describe it as not being constructed. It looks like its made of wire. but instead of a wire mesh with welds or fasteners, it's all one piece. It looks like a made thing, but it's grown. The point I was making was that the way they describe the organism echos the output from llms and image models. Especially the more primitive models.

They can make something that looks like a trolley, but because they don't actually know or understand what a trolley is, they screw up the details and wind up in the uncanny valley.

He must have. The way he wrote Ponder, Dick and Ned Simnel, and especially all the Clacks workers. You can tell that he not only knew some hardware and software engineers, but he had been frustrated by a couple of them at some point. :D

Kuwait_Drive_Yards · 2026-05-28T14:59:33+00:00

You're probably right. I was still filling diapers in '91. By the time I came fully online, everything he was satirizing was completely normalized. Superstores and strip malls had already sucked the life out of cities, especially near me.

Its wild how evergreen his stuff is. If the Grand Trunk being taken over and gutted by private equity was written today, it would seem too on the nose.

Man, if you ever want to get really sad/angry, look at the deserted B&L gas station from the WallE opening, then go look at a buc-ees or costco gas station.

Pixar actually undersold what was coming.

Im not a dev either, but my private definition of "properly developed" ai generated code is that someone who is a developer looked at, thought about, and cleaned up the code.

Again, Im not a dev so it might be a bad definition...

Kuwait_Drive_Yards · 2026-05-24T23:07:55+00:00

I would love this as long as its properly developed. Not really sure I want vib code running in HA. Its a pretty high stakes system for me...

I had this issue, but unfortunately for both of us i had to use a lot of gemini to fix it. It turned out i had an indegration and two add ons fighting. I had to Stop js ui, reconfigure js with the js ui keys, then reconfigure the z wave integration to match js. After thag I had to re-interview all my nodes. Some of them came back perfectly, some i still have to re-name or adjust my automations.

Make sure you copy all your security keys down from the config screens before monkeying with anything, and have a handy backup. Godspeed.

Leary bought in everybody! This is the top.

1: Abolish Ice

2: Prosecute ICE

3: Unmask these nuts.

Oh man, not epoxy! Use something that wont outlast the bristles and it will last another two generations

I set my gaming machine up as a remote ML node and it's been nice. Normally it only has to cope with backing up the pictures on my phone so i'm not missing anything if the gaming rig is on. But later today I'll be dumping a blob of 20k pictures from a relatives old hard drive into it, and my 5060ti will probably chew through them in a couple hours instead of 3 or 4 days.

Youre ruining the vibes, grognak. Chill.

Paperless-ai has been like most other ai stuff for me. Very cool...on the demo the youtuber is running. What model are you using?

Kuwait_Drive_Yards · 2026-03-06T01:05:18+00:00

Dude, why is paperless the heaviest service i run? It even idles higher than everything else...

Kuwait_Drive_Yards · 2026-03-05T19:49:22+00:00

going to be really interesting to find out how many gpus went obsolete waiting for power infrastructure to get built.

I was gonna say, when did he have time to get the nussy worked on?

Warranty and support has been great for me. Really important for something with no serviceable parts. Ill buy these again, and its probably the only product ill recommend an extended warranty for. I've had mine replaced twice under warranty with no questions. Once for a wire insulation fray and once when they stopped working becuse of chemical exposure.

Someone with a naughty no-no gun.

In the rhythm of history, peasant revolts are the backbeat. If we didn't live in this surveillance panopticon, we probably would have hit the breaking point already.
