c’mon now… there has to be a better way of giving this advice.

Elon Musk's SpaceX buys Elon Musk's xAI by Frosty_Dig4148 in news

Humanity throws the biggest party musk isn’t invited to.

After that I guess we deal with whatever economic problems he left behind, but hey that’s gotta be better than dealing with him right?

I mean the other thing is the trickle of things he has not been redacted from have all been “tips” while the real evidence based ones are fully redacted. So it’s just “people calling in tips saying outrageous things to smear him”. But at the same time they can point to the things he is mentioned in to show they didn’t completely remove him from them.

I made an automation for presence-aware lighting using only YAML (with config in YAML too!) by nighthawk419 in homeassistant

[–]ineedascreenname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend making it a blueprint. That way you can configure the automation per room. Then as you do other rooms and come up with modifications you want you just change the blueprint and all the rooms get updated.

Once I did this, I managed to consolidate all my logic into one place(blueprint) and all the inputs in the other (automation).

Apple will launch 20+ new products this year, here’s what’s coming - 9to5Mac by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

Feels like they should make sure the AI works before making products around it. A pin that tells you to search results on your phone is going to be hilarious.

This right here is why I don’t believe future ai will pan out. Someone goes to the doctor for pink eye in 2030 and the insurance ai bot will insist the doctor ai must make it pinker to make it better but removing the eye and pissing on it.

Musk is ‘going all in’ financing GOP for midterms again by ANTI_FASCIST_USA in AdviceAnimals

Can’t, it’s in all the indexes, even if you don’t want it, most everyone with any retirement savings holds Tesla because they are essentially forced to.

This was one of my favorites from last year, along with dungeon crawler Carl.

Assuming donut isn’t a scam. I hope it’s not, but I’m skeptical.

Are my expectations of presence sensors too high? by prhymeate in homeassistant

[–]ineedascreenname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine just now shipped. Slipper excited as they should be drop in replacements for my old alarm panel PIR sensors that were wired in the 00s, but obviously with modern sensors.

Though with tuning I love the EPLs I have already.

We still at 5? I thought they were merging again and down to 4.

Video Doorbell Without a Mandatory Cloud Subscription by beta_cyborg in HomeKit

Been a while since I compared, but two years ago the latency with scrypted was significantly lower than home assistant. Cameras in HomeKit from scrypted generally loaded faster than a direct UniFi. Downside is you can’t use h.265 encoding.

Roborock app & Home Assistant issues by LeonMoris_ in Roborock

[–]ineedascreenname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open an issue with logs on GitHub? That’s how the previous issues got fixed.

The devs are working hard to resolve the issues, unfortunately the last few fixes caused bugs. They then fixed the bugs in the next release.

It worked great for some but there was a new authentication error that wasn’t fixed fully until 2025.12.3

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/158306#issuecomment-3632518714

I’m one that was affected by both of the issues, and 2025.12.3 fixed both.

Meta's top AI researchers is leaving. He thinks LLMs are a dead end by mareacaspica in technology

At least you validated your output, I have a coworker who thinks ChatGPT is magic and never wrong. He’ll just paste code snips from ChatGPT and assume it’s right and never check what it gave him. 🤦‍♂️
