I’m just presenting that as a “is this what you mean”. If it is, then perhaps a FOSS or self hostable version fists or the community might be interested in one existing.

It’s not self hostable, but you mean something like this? https://calendarbudget.com/

I played a bit with the basic concept of identifying and categorizing merchants by importing a transaction csv into google sheets and writing a custom function that called the OpenAI API, basically just passing the raw merchant string along with “What category of business is this?”. It did well, the next step would have been to add a step that compared to a predefined list of possible categories. I didn’t compare any models or other platforms though. This was last year so I might play with it again.

I found this which is overkill for personal use but does a good job of laying out this sort of application: https://midday.ai/updates/automatic-reconciliation-engine/

“Instead of just comparing text strings, we use 768-dimensional vector embeddings to capture the semantic meaning of transactions and receipts.

// Generate embeddings for transaction data
const transactionText = prepareTransactionText({
  name: transaction.name,
  counterpartyName: transaction.counterpartyName,
  merchantName: transaction.merchantName,
  description: transaction.description
});

const embedding = await generateEmbeddings([transactionText]);

These embeddings allow our system to understand that “AMZN MKTP” and “Amazon Marketplace Purchase” refer to the same thing, even though the text strings are completely different. The system learns patterns like:

• “SQ *COFFEE SHOP” → “Square Coffee Shop Receipt”
• “PAYPAL *DIGITALOCEAN” → “DigitalOcean Invoice via PayPal”
• “APL*APPLE.COM” → “Apple App Store Purchase””

You’re missing the point, that would require sitting down and manually doing that for every conceivable payee. Walmart is just an example. The value of any sort of “intelligent” component would be for this to happen automatically and seamlessly for the user. Hell, the AI layer could just be “write regex for al the possible similar payees across these documents”.

Yep, that’s exactly the sort of thing I’m thinking about here. And it doesn’t even need to be full on chat style LLM, just some decent NLP that can recognize WALMART, WAL-MART, or WMART are all the same thing and label it.

But for some reason this question brings out all the assumption people who want to give financial advice or talk about the AI image the saw last year with 6 fingers.

Let’s go girls

Was this the story that he was using some sort of inserted sex toy to get info? I don’t follow chess but that’s obviously a very memorable headline. What was the follow up story, that it was just blatantly untrue?

This makes a lot of the plot in Avowed take on a very different tone.

“Look sir, all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.”

There’s a Stardew Valley joke here somewhere

That doesn’t really answer my question. How does one get ublock origin on mobile?

There is?

No, we have crushing dystopian sadness at home.

Mix of both probably. Star Wars tech seem to swap gravity direction easily and smoothly. Like the gun chambers on the Millennium Falcon.

I’ve used most of the options for this and regardless of the tool I do a terrible job of actually coming back and reading anything in them. Instapaper would probably be my vote for the one I used the most though, connected to my kindle it was nice when I used to travel and could catch up on stuff on the plane. These days I use Inoreader for consuming feeds and it also has a good read later function.

We did a Mexican vacation several years ago and everyone in our tour group would surround and excitedly take pictures of iguanas. The local tour guides would laugh and talk about how that always happens and how they were like squirrels to them.

Correct, and I’m familiar with the Wasteland games and they’re great. I was asking about the 3D games specifically. I remember starting Fallout 3 back on my 360 years ago and just not caring for it. I’ve always wondered if I should give another one a go.

Which modern Fallout game would you suggest for someone who loved the first 2 and generally prefers classic (and modern classic style) RPGs and deep stories?

I was initially thinking Huginn, but it doesn’t seem to have as much activity around it. You like it, plenty of flexibility?
