4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy

Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week

Yeah, I suppose so. I find plenty to hate about the way companies and too many individual apps talk about LLMs. I really hate that it’s one of the metrics my employer looks at. I always hate how wasteful speculative bubbles like this are.

But maybe this isn’t the place for me since I see some good use cases and appreciate the few times someone does it right.

• I hate how companies like Google and Microsoft are putting LLMs everywhere, making things worse for everyone, forcing everyone to deal with it
• I find it strange that there’s an LLM in my car but it Carrie’s a decent conversation and it can’t actually do anything
• I like this approach of building the mcp server. Keeping it read only, keeping it optional, and leaving the actual LLM open. I also like Apples approach where they seem to care about privacy, about executing on device, and about taking their time to put it in useful places

Yeah it is. I have no idea how you more efficiently do that task, but there’s got to be a better way

Isn’t the new fun money tariffs? No one knows what they are or where the money comes from, so he can spend it many times over without increasing “the debt”

Seems like everyone taking a left turn into crazy ville ……

This is a good approach.

1. It’s an mcp server, a “bridge”. A standard way LLMs could talk to your system. It’s not an LLM. It doesnt mandate an LLM. It doesn’t tie you to a specific LLM
2. It’s optional. Don’t use it, or don’t install it. No harm done. Even if it’s installed and running, if you don’t use an LLM with local access, no harm done.
3. Even the increased attack surface is not a big deal since it is local, optional, and focuses on reading statuses rather than executing actions
4. It’s an open standard. If you decide to use it with an LLM but don’t like the results, try a different LLM

A lot of the time it eventually comes out. It makes sense not to give details now - you have to give users a chance to patch before encouraging more attacks. However when the details come out in a couple months, no one cares anymore so it doesn’t make much impact. You have to look for it

Every attempt to make something idiot creates a bigger idiot

While I totally see the point this is already “solved” in that they shouldn’t have high beams on in the first place.

Pedestrians and cyclists are tough because drivers don’t think to toggle their high beams, even If they see pedestrians and auto-high beams aren’t any better. We’re out of luck

In my neighborhood we have very narrow streets and where there are sidewalks not pavement right next to the street. I never thought I’d appreciate the small amount of separation a standard sidewalk give but it actually does make a difference in how blinded your u are by traffic. But the bottom Line is similar to yours: this is a high density neighborhood with streetlights where no one should use high beams to begin with. Realistically there are several Poorly placed houses whose owners are probably even more frustrated

I’ll take being briefly blinded as a car hits a pothole over ten terrifying seconds of zero visibility as a monstrous vehicle careens toward me and I have no idea where the street is or what’s in it

At least in Manhattan, traffic is usually slow enough that pedestrians are at least as fast. Also they tend to go as a crowd. I’ll usually wait for the light but when hundreds of other pedestrians swarm into the street I figure we’re fairly visible and safe.

I would never drive in Manhattan simply because it’s the slowest and most frustrating way to get around. I used to drive around queens when I had a girlfriend there but we’d always take a train around the city, and I’m sure traffic has only gotten worse. It’s just not worth it

This may be another case of needing technology to rescue people who are just that dumb.

• Auto-high beams have been getting better over the years to the point that humans can no longer claim to be more responsive. They just work. Every time. And never forget
• my car has active matrix headlights and it’s freaky to drive at night with the high beams on and watch a dark spot follow surrounding cars

In ten years we’ll all forget how to toggle off high beams, as it will just work most of the time. But at the same time we’ll be blinded less as the machine never forgets

My similar anecdote is people taking a right on red without stopping (or apparently looking), and would probably be included in those statistics. Since there may be a pedestrian or cyclist just around the corner you can’t see until you’re at the intersection, stopping and looking is critical for safety

I used to be a proponent of right on red, because who wants to be stuck at a dead intersection? If you only consider cars, it’s a nice efficiency gain. But now non-car users like pedestrians and cyclists don’t have a safe time to cross the intersection. And it’s so much worse now that people turning right on red seem to have forgotten the parts about “after coming to a complete stop” and “yielding to other traffic”

I knew someone who did that because the sidewalks were too uneven. She had bad ankles and kept rolling them trying to walk in the sidewalk

Since pandemic I’ve fallen twice because of bad sidewalks. It’s embarrassing as shit

We’re still working on the loss of caring about driving from pandemic. For some reason it brought out the worst in people, and some of them are still there

I’m not buying that. Sure, what you say is absolutely true but we’re talking pedestrian deaths. That’s more of the fault of the high steel wall at the front, and that is purely a style choice.

There are plenty of cars with stock LED headlights and proper cutoffs, so they’re less blinding than traditional headlights

It’s aftermarket “illegal” LEDs, LEDs that are misaligned or started at a bad height, and way too many drivers who never turn off their high beams. Yet another safety rule we only pay lip service to, resulting in unnecessary deaths

My stock Subaru can handle more off-roading than most trucks ever do

Home Assistant hs communities to share exactly that

My similar script has a very different goal: at midnight if someone is still up, it dims the family room light and announces on speaker”hey kids, it’s time for bed”

It’s also possible my pitiful attempt at poisoning the data backfired on me. When they force me to enter my birthday I select the oldest allowed date, so maybe they think I’m like 120
