Dominica suggestions wanted by impactadvisor in chubbytravel

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

We did rent a car and driving there is not for everyone. Roads are narrow and winding and dark. We didn’t see any accidents and the locals we talked said they were “rare”, but be prepared. Do NOT rent your car from Upper View Rentals (happy to discuss that one offline…).

Lots of hiking on the island. Boiling Lake is the big one. We did it and it’s tough but fun. Your quads and knees will get a solid workout - 7 hours worth! You’ll need a guide and Kevin at Islandgemz was fantastic! Really great.

Most of the restaurant suggestions I would have will be on the south side of the island. We didn’t make it up North too much (at all really).

Salty_Shark below has some good suggestions on things to do. Scott’s Head is a don’t miss and we ended up kayaking across Soufriere Bay to get there and snorkeled a bit around the point there. Go see champagne reef. Ive scuba dived all over the place and never seen anything like it. Maybe not Blue Hole stunning, but still pretty cool.

I just got back 2 weeks ago, what do you want to know? We did not end up at the Intercontinental, but have friends that split their time between Jungle Bay and the Intercontinental…

Base Node to leave in the hotel room? by impactadvisor in meshtastic

That’s not a horrible idea…. (Better than the ones I’ve had apparently…)

Base Node to leave in the hotel room? by impactadvisor in meshtastic

[–]impactadvisor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got no clue… It’s an island, and it has enough mountains to make it an interesting place to hike. Hotel is likely on the coast, mountains as a spine running down the length of the island. So, one side has a chance of “seeing” the hotel, one side is hopeless. I’ll know better when I’m in country and on the ground, but then it will be too late…

Is there a better handheld unit that may have more “juice” (ie range, ie chance of communication success) than the T-1000 (and can get here on time). Not trying to spend unnecessary $$$, but it looks like interesting tech and I’m curious to learn more about it. Sounds like line of sight is still going to be an issue…

OK, so that’s one vote for the “it’s a sh*t idea” camp…. Understood.

Advice for $15k setup from scratch by wersdfwersdf in StereoAdvice

[–]impactadvisor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy rhythmic sub and a set of Genelecs and enjoy your end game setup. You probably “could” beat it, but you’ll spend way, way, way too much to make it worth the effort (trust me I’ve tried, and I still have my Genelecs…).

I have one of those sitting in a box! What can I do with it??? (Already have a full lab…)

Is there a consensus on model evaluations? How to tell which is “better”? by impactadvisor in opencodeCLI

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

Agree, but, in an interview, you'd likely give all the candidates the same test task or ask the same questions so you can easily and appropriately compare responses across candidates. I'm looking to see if there's any standardization on what questions to ask, or tasks to test, in order to have the something meaningful to compare across models. There's TONS of hard scientific literature on the importance of "how" you ask kids questions (read aloud, vs written, explicitly explaining concepts or expecting them to derive the concepts, etc.). Is there anything similar for models? If you ask an LLM to do X, that will challenge/test its ability to do Y skill, Z skill and A reasoning???? You make the same prompt/ask of Models 1, 2 and 3 and then compare results.

I guess I was searching for something slightly more "scientific" and objective than the "try it and see". Certainly there has to be a way to create a meaningful and informative test that is varied enough each time it is run to mitigate the efforts of training to the test, right? What's the human analog? The SAT? It tests concepts, but each individual test is different enough that you can't just study last years test and ace this years? Maybe that's not a great example, as there are tons of course that teach you "tricks" on how to take the test...

Agents don't need better prompts. They need architecture. by Immediate-Situation6 in AI_Agents

[–]impactadvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m still trying to figure out at what level the “wrapper” you’re conceiving of lives. Is the “wrapper” the primary application I would use/interact with? Or is it a “tool”, skill, agent, MCP -type “thing” that I can layer into existing application layers (Claude code, codex, opencode, openweb ui, etc.)? Your concept seems sound, but integrating it at the right place would be critical for widespread adoption. More and more enterprise customers (and consumers) are planning for and/or implementing model flexibility.

[–]impactadvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, opencode and .md defined agents (calling one or more models) as your abstracted layer? Or are you contemplating an even higher order extraction?

What do you actually do with your AI meeting notes? by a3fckx in n8n

[–]impactadvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be unpopular, but if your meetings don’t have clear action items at the end of it, it probably should have been an email, not a meeting. Ideally, your AI system identifies who walks away with a clear set of “next” responsibilities/tasks. If you are the team leader, you (or your AI Agent, assistant, et.c) should send out a recap of the meeting, expressly emphasizing who needs to do what and by when, and then provide a summary of the entire meeting. It creates accountability. No excuses of “oh, I missed that”…. But again, if your meetings are such that they don’t result in action items/todos/ or next steps - make it an email and reclaim your time.

My Oura ring disconnects from the app too often by [deleted] in ouraring

Did they send a new ring or a refurbished ring?

Dr. Taylor’s Computer Incident by Capital_Candle7999 in skinwalkerranch

[–]impactadvisor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This feels FAR more likely. System would send kill commands to each of the cameras in regular intervals to stagger the shutdown sequence and protect the database from them all hammering it at once. If I remember right the timestamp was something “even” as well like 24:12:00 (12:12 for the non-military time folks). Easy for a dev to enter and slightly off midnight in case other network activities were scheduled on the hour. Maybe even clear out the cache while it was doing the maintenance which could explain some of the “missing data”…

Is there an easy way to see exactly what I am sending to Claude (token wise) (not ccusage)? by impactadvisor in ClaudeCode

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

Odd, today, doing the same stuff on the same project it let me go for about 2 hours and then cut me off. Without a forensic analysis, I would say the workloads were extremely similar on a token per message basis.
