Maybe correct? Though my cable modem gobbles down some 15W… Without even doing the Wifi… So, I bet this isn’t a universal truth, as a Mini-PC will comsume less and provide all kinds of extra services, networking, NAS…

You should have all kinds of options on Lemmy… You can edit a post and change it to whatever you like. Or delete it and optionally post a new one…

Just delete the post if it’s a mess-up.

Livekit can be used to build voice assistants. But it’s more a framework to build an agent yourself, not a ready-made solution.

And there’s another custom component, integrating all servers with an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint: https://github.com/jekalmin/extended_openai_conversation

Ja mutmaßlich hat er sich ja zurückgezogen nachdem Putin die Ukraine überfallen hat, er eine ukrainische Frau hat. Und sein ganzes Narrativ vor seinem Publikum so nicht mehr aufrechtzuerhalten war. Ich glaub am Antisemitismus liegt’s nicht. Davon hat er bestimmt noch 'ne ganze Menge übrig?

(Und die Embryos werden übrigens zum Beispiel in die Gewürzmischung von Lay’s Chips gemischt, falls jemand das wissen wollte.)

Haha, witzig. Als ob wir hier die mit den Netzsperren wären… Ich sag mal TikTok, Pornhub, Altersverifikation… Und für Meinungsäußerung im echten Leben wird man bei denen ja auch eher als Terrorist eingestuft, gefesselt und dann mit 'ner Ladung Pfefferspray in die Augen abgefertigt?!

And don’t ever ask random people how to pronounce ‘router’.

Ja. Grundsätzlich sehr willkommen. Wobei wir echt aufpassen müssen, weil bei Ursula von der Leyen bedeutet das sicherlich mehr Überwachungsstaat, mehr Frontex, und Budget für nachhaltige Dinge wird umdisponiert für KI Start-Ups. Und das dann auf dem kürzeren Dienstweg. Auf der anderen Seite muss man sich halt wirklich mal überlegen wie man effektiv weiterkommt.

I think there’s a lot of nuance here. I mean the Fediverse isn’t super efficient. But it manages to do what it’s supposed to do. And it really depends. Which Fediverse software. How many people are on those servers, how are they distributed. Do groups of people mingle on certain servers. Do they all subscribe to all the same content out there. Are there really big groups on servers with happen to have a slow internet connection… And then of course can we come up with improvements if we need to.
I think we’re going to find out once (or if) the Fediverse grows substantially. Some design decisions of the Fediverse are indeed a bit of a challenge for unlimited growth. Oftentimes technical challenges can be overcome, though. With clever solutions. Or things turn ot differently than we anticipated. So I don’t think there’s a good practical and straightforward answer to the question.

Good blog post.

I couldn’t think of a clever response to that. I still can’t.

I think it’s central to the issue they’re talking about. There’s demand for quick, cheap stuff. There’s also demand for quality stuff. But they’re not the same.

I mean, I’m sometimes sad nothing lasts anymore. Or means anything. We buy clothes, appliances, software, phones… just to throw it out a year later. Same with AI. We could do intricate art. Commission someone to draw our company logo or come up with a good advertisement video. But why? Everyone has a attention span of 30s these days and pretty much anything will do for Instagram. So rubbish it is. And we’re done in 5 minutes.

I think it’s more that society doesn’t value quality and sophisticated things any more. We rather have plenty cheap and superficial things. And for a lot of applications, it’ll do. Same with art, same with some software and webdesign. Also works the same way without AI. The consumer will do the beta test. And any random messenger uses 150 dependencies and Electron, and two Gigabyte of memory. That’s hardly artistry either.

Giving things a solid try is very much appreciated 😆

Yes. Fingers crossed. And don’t let people like me talk you out of what you want to do. I mean nobody knows in advance, what kind of path needs to be taken. And the path is gonna be riddled with issues, decisions to be made and things to be learned. There’s no way around that.

It’s tricky to get these things started. I mean I’m not an expert on community building, so don’t take advice from me… But yeah. You’re competing against Discord, Reddit, the Fediverse… Many people are on Matrix, somewhere in the Github and Codeberg discussions. Some projects have Discourse forums, like Home Assistant, NixOS, Godot, Arduino…

Unfortunately Discourse is quite a resource hog. And not interconnected. So I think you already picked some solid options with Flarum and NodeBB.

I see somewhat of the same issue. The Threadiverse is very nice. It’d be a good fit IMO. But most people use it more for social-media style interactions. I rarely get good conversations going about electronics, microcontrollers, and the tinkerer stuff I’m interested in. And there’s several reasons for that. I think the situation with scattered (Discourse) forums isn’t good either. That works if you have an existing community, like a bigger project, or a hackerspace, or a Youtuber and their followers. Other than that it’s a pain to use, because it’s just many separate places. And I’d rather have everything combined, so I can easily navigate, like here, or on Discord where I’ll get notifications and can jump everywhere with a few clicks.

Not sure if it’s a good idea to launch some temporary / intermediary stage and then nuke it and have everyone sign up again… That could make people be less motivated to join right now. But hey, I guess you’d need to start somewhere. And figuring things out as you go is alright. I’ll sign up, and lurk a bit.

NodeBB would be a good choice. It brings together both worlds. It is a more traditional forum, like you envision it to be. And it’s perfectly able to speak ActivityPub and interconnect with other platforms like PieFed and Lemmy.

It wasn’t really clear to me where you want to go with this. I mean judging by conversations with my friends, there’s a 3h conversation to be had about every nuance of health. The diet, how to work out, how much to eat and drink. There’s rules of thumb. But in reality it’s a very individual thing. And also changes with the situation, for example if you go to the gym or running and want to progress, it’d be an entirely different story a few months later. Also some people have office jobs, some do 18,000 steps each day… And don’t get me started on mental health.

Diagnosing medical conditions is hard for AI. We got some news on that a few days ago. It’s good at exam questions. But doesn’t perform in reality. So I wouldn’t call it health agent considering those kinds of questions. More a shaman. Or alternative practitioner / healer. (Or it’d need to stick to specific things. Or we need a few more years of progress in AI.)

I mean, I think the available tools aren’t even half bad? There’s smart watches with all kinds of features, apps, dashboards… Training modes and advise. They can help you define goals, track your period if you have that… Water intake, activity levels. It’s not AI, but there will be summaries, achievements, reminders…
Just the privacy part is a bit tricky, as most of these ecosystems come as cloud services.

I feel you can’t just dump in the CSV values from your Xiaomi Scale and Garmin watch… And hope AI will figure out the correct math on your body… And then also come up with good recommendations.

As far as I know, there are a few local, selfhosted health trackers available. It’s a bit tricky to own the correct gadgets that connect to it… But I don’t think there’s anything with AI.

I mean to give proper recommendations, you’d need a very elaborate setup. It needs all the sensor values. Then correlate it with what you’re doing all day long… What you eat and how much you drink… The AI (or traditional algorithms) can’t see. So maybe it can calculate your BMI in a thinking step. But it’s a whole lot of math to then figure out if your too fat, or have muscle mass… And then find out what that means for your diet. AI won’t figure that out along the way. So you’re probably looking at a few thousands of lines of code, after reading a few textbooks on biology.

I mean you can try to vibe-code some agent. But I think your best bet is to look for some open-source software cloning Google Health, or something like that. (And then maybe you can write some MCP server for that. And an agent to interpret the aggregated results.)

Lecker, lecker Formfleisch! Aber die 400g ess ich alleine.

Ja ich wohne auch nach wie vor im Pott. Gut, die Gerichtsverfahren sind etwas die Nachläufer davon. Ist klar, dass die 2 Jahre nach irgendwelchen Taten mit Medienberichten abgeschlossen werden.

Die Automatensprengungen halte ich übrigens für sehr dämlich. Also alle Nachbarländer hatten ihre Geldautomaten ja abgesichert. Nur unsere deutschen Banken haben gesagt das ist zu teuer die nachzurüsten, und sich lieber dafür entschieden die Bankräuber ihr Ding machen zu lassen, und sich dann von der Versicherung auszahlen zu lassen… Ist irgendwie logisch, dass man sich damit die umliegenden Verbrecher ins Land holt. Gerade auch wenn man verkehrstechnisch so gut angebunden ist, wie das Ruhrgebiet. Da konnte man recht einfach was klauen und sich ziemlich gut aus dem Staub machen, es war halt leichte Beute… Und das ist dann auch passiert. War auch kein Geheimnis, ziemlich so stand es in jedem Zeitungsartikel.

Inzwischen hat sich das aber auch etwas geändert. Die Banken haben dann doch etwas getan, bzw sind auch noch dabei. Und wir haben genug Stau und Baustellen auf der Autobahn hinzugefügt, so dass hier niemand mehr wegkommt. /s

Hö? Wohnt denn hier jemand in NRW und geht mal vor die Tür um zu gucken, wie die Kriminalität dort so aussieht? Also ich wohne so ziemlich mittendrin… Dachte es wäre seit über einem Jahr ruhig geworden um diese niederländische Mocro-Mafia? Also wir haben ja Polizei hier… und unsere eigene organisierte Kriminalität und die gehen alle gegen die vor?! Anscheinen erfolgreich genug, so dass ich jetzt fast anderthalb Jahre lang nix großes mehr über die gelesen hatte… Aber vllt laufen sie noch in den Heavy-Rotation-Charts bei Springer und dem Tatort?
