She could have, but she didn't, which is why she got her current job.

I completely forgot that Holden was part of that commune of, what, eight mothers?

It's not really "your house connected to the Internet" as much as just connecting it together to a central hub. My lights dim and turn off at set times of the day using scenes, including a more dynamic sunrise/sunset time. If it's stormy weather during the day, the front porch light comes on. I have a few colored lights that change colors with the seasons. Home Assistant brings down the garage door at night, if I forget. If the garage sensor is tripped, the garage light comes on. I have dumber motion sensors for locations where it makes sense, like pantries or closets.

I can control all of my interfaces from my phone. It can hook into local cameras, so that everything is centralized. HA can hook into any of the voice assistant systems, like Alexa. There are so many little conditions and automated switches I could create, based on either outside stimuli (like the weather) or internal sensors.

It's a shame, because ComfyUI can be so much more than just image generation. And just because there's a lot of string processing for LLMs doesn't mean that it isn't important to capture in an I/O interface, especially when it comes to preserving chat history. Save data, load data, ask new questions, etc.

ChatGPT is pretty damn powerful, I'll admit. But, all of its components need to be localized, especially since something like a Mixture of Experts model could be split down to base models and loaded/unloaded as necessary.

The Home Assistant community has a good reputation of routing around that kind of bullshit. There's enough users that I predict a homegrown module will pop up in the next few months.

I love my Ratgdo garage door unit, routing around the bullshit proprietary LiftMaster APIs that want you to download some stupid phone app. No, fuck you. I hard-wire that shit into my garage door opener and get an API that works like a dream.

Sometimes, trying to integrate smart home devices can be a pain, but the Home Assistant core makes the integration much much easier. Please don't like shit like this to detract from a future smart home project for your house. I would encourage you to just start it, if you're wanting to get into it and willing to learn some things.

ComfyUI is just a bunch of Python code tied into I/O nodes. I'm surprised there isn't a good set of nodes for SGLang yet.

This seems like the kind of thing that should be bookmarked and thrown in corporations' faces at every moment.

Have you used any good ComfyUI workflows specifically for chat LLMs?

Leto II was a biological supercomputer in his own right, who spend thousands of years crafting humanity in the same manner as the Bene Gesserit, under the hand of a totalitarian government. The methods were different, but the path was just as delusional as the religions that his father abused for his own benefit.

Ummm...duh?

The issue right now is that Europe has neither stockpiles nor production capacity, so the USA sending their hardware is the game changer.

And who's fault is that? The US has been creating its own military industrial complex for the last 75 years, spending literally half of its budget on useless weapons that will barely get used, all at the cost of benefits that its citizens could have had.

Meanwhile, Europe has two tugboats and some leftover AK-47s in a warehouse somewhere.

So, he became a biological machine to treat people like machines. Sounds like nothing was learned.

 

In 2001, Dale Winton accepted a gig as the presenter of a new Channel 5 reality show. And reality TV is simple enough: stick a bunch of people in a house, have them fight and mate like bored zoo animals.

The Channel 5 bigwigs went another way. They got a bunch of people to stand in a shopping mall for five days, touching a Toyota Land Cruiser. And while that can lead to bouts of extreme volatility after several days, the surrounding footage is largely just... people standing around in a shopping mall, touching a truck.

A surreal dive into one of British television’s most baffling game shows.

This video isn’t just about Touch the Truck — it’s about why people still try. Why they endure humiliation, boredom, and sleep deprivation for a prize that’s barely worth the effort. Why we reach for meaning even when there's none on offer.

Also: Dale Winton. Still performing. Still hopeful. Long after the applause stopped.

Also, also: money.

Jamrock Hobo got a hold of an internal presentation to this cancelled ZA/UM project. We could have had a Cuno & Cunoesse game. Looks like they made pretty good progress, too.
