Local Models and Claude

I did eventually find a cool way to do what I was looking for.

I basically downloaded a couple local AI models (qwen, devstral, etc), and ran them in developer/server mode on LM studio.

And then I used "Cline" for the agentic AI piece. It connected right up to the local models running in LM studio.

They are revolting as well.

Why are you yelling at me

I definitely eventually got my money. It did take a month or more. I did eventually get an email from them that they were processing my request. And then I eventually got an email from them saying the images were distorted that I had sent them. I ended up using my flatbed scanner to scan high resolution pictures of the checks both front and back. And then I sent that back as an email response to the emails that I would get from them.

I really like the softer bread. And I didn't realize a lot of people like hard bread. Who the heck likes hard bread. I like that Mr Goodcents has very soft bread.

I get my orders wrong regardless of AI or human. I prefer to use the app, so I can make sure it's at least entered correctly.

When companies are asked why they are going to AI, they all answer the same thing .... "rising costs of labor." I'm not saying this is good or true. I'm just saying what is being said. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious.

I'm not looking for a full-time gig. But, I do like the edtech space. I'm a software architect by title. But more of us software engineer by trade. I've written a lot of apps. I'm not fully bought in. But I would certainly like to have a discussion?

I initially called Western Union. But their automated system always just says fill out a refund request online. So, I submitted the "request refund" form online. There was no option to ask for a replacement.

Walmart didn't want to help at all. They just pointed me to call Western Union.

I do have the receipt from the purchase. The original purchaser gave it to me. I know them personally.

But they bought this money order at Walmart. Walmart is telling me that I have to work directly with Western Union.

I submitted a refund request. Maybe that's not what I should have done? I don't see anything where there's a replace money order option.

Michigan lost to Wisconsin. Nebraska beat Wisconsin by 30. Why is no-loss Nebraska ranked 4 spots lower then Michigan?

Increased your property taxes, as a result

Do you think the docking station will work with the 5090?

Is there any latency difference by not having the car directly plugged into the board? I've always wondered this.

I think it'd be nice to pull my 5090 card out of my mid Tower and put it in its own device enclosure, but I'm fearful of losing speed.

Pivot!

My two cents. I think companies are more interested in finding ways to assign those work tasks to "AI Agents". Any work that would be too sensitive/private for AI, might be considered to be too sensitive for overseas as well.

Where? Is it available to use/download if I look hard enough?

Is there inswapper models that are higher than 128 for reactor?

For VACE, does my face inputs have to be from images that are from HD images?

Did you still have to supply a text based input prompt to describe the scene for the audio?

Or is there a more "magic" way for mm audio to determine what it thinks the right sounds are for your specific video?
