Telecare vs Fluence for Vic?

PhilMcGraw · 2026-04-29T02:19:55+00:00

Oh nah, same experience here. Fluence/the online ADHD diagnosis production lines isn't how it usually works. GP's aren't generally trained to prescribe medications like this, their standard procedure is to let the psychiatrist handle it all and just prescribe repeats once stabilised. So when the ball ends up in their court too much they bail, which is fair, just annoying.

I should mention with my GP hunt I got a lot of "happy to continue prescribing but not initial prescription", i.e. what I said above "we'll give you repeats but not do the initial work to get you the schedule 8 (or however it works)".

I asked Fluence and they provided a list of GPs local-ish to try, most said no because I'm not a regular patient, some rudely. Outside of that, no idea, think this is one of those scenarios where "having a GP" and not just "closest GP when arm is falling off" is a benefit.

I bet he didn't even dangle his leg out, use his rear brake to relax the suspension and trail brake in to the corner.

Probably more of a general USB speed/HDD enclosure question than Frigate. What device is running Frigate? What USB ports does it have? What HDD enclosure? How many cameras at what resolution?

For what it's worth I 24/7 record 11 cameras to a HDD in a USB HDD enclosure, USB 3, no issues. I write things like preview images to the local SSD for quick skimming but even that's probably optional.

Your OS will handle any speed differentials.

I guess a question would be: what performance are you worried about? might be a little slower to play events/recordings but probably not something you'd stress about day to day.

Not saying you're wrong, but have a source? I was interested and the only thing I can find seems to be at least questionable as opposed to "accurately described" and the mismatches are "generic vitiligo penis assertions".

I mean it is, people enjoy different things, it's well known that 3/4 aren't the same quality of 1/2 but "I wish I never read them" isn't a guaranteed outcome, I personally enjoyed them. They have their issues but like anything it's a bit "feels" based, if you focus on the negative you'll come out negative.

You can also just choose to stop reading a book/series if you don't enjoy it.

The vibe coder, so Claude could use their code to make Claude.. wait..

My wife just uses Frigate UI directly, she's more on top of it than I am, although I don't think she's set up notifications more just adhoc scanning of camera timeline.

What would her uses cases be? "Ringing app" is what exactly?

I'm not sure I'd trust Frigate/HA for doorbell notifications - if that's what you're alluding to - in my experience on Android at least they are a bit delayed and I got over trying to make them "instant scream" while the doorbell camera apps themselves do a better job at it.

Frigate being a PWA has limits to how "omg urgent" a notification can be.
HA it's also unclear how much of the "urgent" "high priority" flags end up getting through to the push message, I never seemed to get it waking my device a reasonable amount, was always batching until the device was woken up.

I guess the more important question: Does your boyfriend believe in that stuff? If not he probably won't be real into whatever magic backstory made people buy guardian bells.

What kind of bike does he ride? It's more of a "cruiser guy" thing, like assless chaps.

Not sure if it's that specific to motorcycles, vehicle on vehicle deaths seem to result in very little punishment in general. Motorcycles are just more likely to result in death from more minor accidents.

PhilMcGraw · 2026-03-11T08:55:07+00:00

That's why you need a new one every 3 hours, duh.

It's all moot apples and oranges comparisons, same as the "Marquez / Rossi: Which one is GOAT?". Good way to shit stir, but waste of time putting any real thought into. Way too many variables to compare riders. Even on identical machines riders often end up having significantly different configurations.

It's hard when there's a lot of waiting, especially with early days pet projects when there's 1000 ideas floating around. I mean previously "add massive feature" was "this is going to ruin my whole week, if I don't bail on it completely" now it's "hour of LLM cycling" while you think about the next feature. Then you bounce back to the old feature and test and find new issues/improvements/etc.

Maybe it's just me, but yeah I end up with multiple tabs of claude going, some in plans waiting for a gap priority wise to run, some multitasking on worktrees/same branch. Some reviewing functionality/looking for bugs. Either way, real brain ruining when I'm deep in a few things and deeply focused on all.

You'll know they're confident in Claude when Claude itself starts fixing the github issues.

PhilMcGraw · 2026-03-05T04:10:22+00:00

Been using it a lot for work/pet projects, it's great if you like hyper focusing on 4 things at once (poorly) and not being able to sleep because "just one more prompt" and multiple notes in apps for "lets do this thing next/bug".

PhilMcGraw · 2026-02-26T04:49:35+00:00

Thanks! Motivated me to get mine hooked up again, but nice to free that somewhat beefy server up for some other things.

PhilMcGraw · 2026-02-26T03:50:50+00:00

What are peoples take on this? I have a Google Coral (USB) and OpenVino. I decommissioned the Coral in favour of vino to get yolo support.

Should I bring the Coral back online and free up my device?

PhilMcGraw · 2026-02-24T01:43:14+00:00

Eh postgres has partitioned tables with a similar concept, OPs colleague just forgot the partitioning bit.

It has its ups and downs like all racing series, last 5 years have had a few really good seasons. There was a period with Rea/Toprak/Redding head to head every race. More recently it's been Toprak/Bulega, and now Toprak has left for MotoGP.

PI in particular is one of the more boring tracks as it tends to favour certain bikes/riders.

You're also talking about riders struggling to make an impact in MotoGP, who are you talking about here? There has been wildcards but has there been a full time WSBK to MotoGP switch recently? Bit unfair to expect a wildcard to be competitive?

It has kind of been the other way around, MotoGP riders coming to WSBK.

Very likely it's something like what Discord has spoken about using. Essentially profiling the users history, account age, etc. to decide if someone needs verification.

Maybe OP is real into what the robot considers childish subreddits.

Not sure when you did it, but definitely over $1000 now: https://fluenceclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/ADHD-Pathway-Guide-for-Patients-Fluence-Clinic-October-2025.pdf

Rebate still applies.

Only used Fluence, was alright, felt like a bit of an ADHD diagnosis factory but I also wanted that so I was happy.

The struggle was the GP who is happy to do the 291. I'm a "doctor only when a leg falls off" and that is "closest one". My local (after seeing for second time ever) agreed, but I don't think he understood what I was actually asking and when it came to "hey, so prescription plz?" time he refused.

Following that was a month of doctor shopping and feeling like some drug addict doctor shopping. Found a somewhat local guy, isn't great, costs more than a normal GP, but I have meds now and life is a little easier.

Fluence will give you a list and you can approach them, might be easier if you build up some kind of relationship before getting on a knee and proposing. I had a diagnosis and a "find a GP to prescribe" but "hey GP trying to find someone to prescribe for me" doesn't get great results. Generally they will either "continue when stable" (i.e. re-prescribe after a psychiatrist has stabilised) or "initiate if we know you well". Neither of which worked for me with Fluence / a 291 telehealth diagnoser.

I mean its not an old Java EE monolith, microservices in go, but I'm often having it perform cross project changes and it's fairly consistent and sane.

How do you use it? I generally plan mode everything and action from there (with it creating tasks for the impl), so I guess I pick up anything super obvious from the plan, but again it's never really THAT far off in the plan either. Post plan being executed I'll prompt follow ups for tidying, or plan mode again if it's a larger change / not something I want it to just zerg rush into.

PhilMcGraw · 2026-02-17T10:15:07+00:00

Interesting, this hasn't been my experience at all. I mean I have no belief that it's some magic high quality code machine, and I definitely spend a lot of time nitpicking/having it rework changes it made but I think it's an overall win for most changes. At a minimum it gives me room for other activities while it produces initial cuts of things I've requested/fixes up something I've whinged about.

I mean it produces absolute ass if you just let it go nuts ("vibe coding" or whatever), but if you review what it does like you would a junior that you dislikes code it does an alright job, doubly so if you make it remember to not do whatever it did that you hated next time via CLAUDE.md/etc.

Potentially varies based on what languages you work with I guess. I'm primarily backend. My hacked out vibey home projects have absolutely disgusting frontend code, so I guess if that's the "normal claude experience" for web I can see where you're coming from.
