  • I drove a newer rental car and tried all the safety assist features. I felt the same way after less than at hour of driving and turned everything except cruise and emergency brake off.

    Don’t even get me started on how useless the voice control system was. The car voice control is usually significantry worse than the Google provided version. I frankly do not understand how Google has done such a garbage job. Voice control on Google seems to have gotten worse since it came out, not better. At least for actually getting things done rather than just asking silly questions. I can’t even effectively take a note on my motorcycle reliably by voice.

  • Yes, rose coloured. But I’d rather be in an environment where there are a million ways to make the life of a scraping AI company hard so it’s impossible for them to account for everything.

    More options, are more better especially when they are otherwise meanlessly different for users.

    Also there is evidence that poisoning an AI’s training set does not require much data.

  • Though it does change the landscape and introduce additional computation for those scraping.

    If they make a mistake and don’t account for all the ways the model can be poisoned they risk significant capital training only to identify an issue causing degraded results.

    Imagine if everyone did this differently on many websites. It would cause a re-evaluation of scraping costs.

  • I am using this.

    Immich, kDrive photo backup as well, then sync the entire Immich folder to kDrive separately. kDrive is easy to hook into TrueNAS so I use the built-in data protection to do the backup (rclone under the hood I think).

    kDrive seems to have everything meaningful to me Backblaze does and SwissBackup seemed like useless garbage the three times I tried to use it.

    Since Backblaze on their client app just arbitrarily removes file extensions and such to prevent them backing up and some other issue more recently. Also they are American.

  • All my Ikea stuff is using rechargeable batteries. My older motion sensors have dropped 10% each in six months (54 to 45, 49 to 39).

    So with regular batteries, you might well not notice much drop though I would have expected a few percent given they seem to be calibrated to non-rechargeable batteries.

    I would check that the battery number has actually updated with the “minutes ago” field. I had the air quality sensor intermittently disconnect and not report only some of it’s metrics but Home Assistant seemed to keep displaying a flat line regardless (if I recall correctly).

  • Yeah. I agree.
    I wish Sublime had a good AI integration plugin with review edits before making them and chat windows with tabs. I’ve had to go back to VS Code (well at least I had but the Claude integration is worse than Copilot so I might go back and use the Claude desktop app).
    I tried a couple but wasn’t happy and the cost of code reviewing it to be allowed to use it at work is too much work to just try them all.
