they have something that claims to be able to do it, I haven’t personally verified it, but generic on device voice recognition has gotten pretty decent.

yeah, and if you want something that doesn’t spy on you your only real option is home assistant.

it could also be me being bitter about how schools don’t ever offer the raw image files after you pay for the photo. If some asshole wants to ruin the image with post processing they should at least be forced to give the raw to the client.

cool, hopefully they don’t fuck up the Java release.

and those marketers should get punished, not for spreading misinformation but for being marketers.

it’s pretty good a getting grammar correct.

it produces things that appear to be cohesive sentences. there is no reason to assign correctness to a sentence.

I consider asking about social media of strangers to be a red flag

and this here is the only advantage of single family zoning, preventing the scourge of urbanism from taking root by cutting it off at the housing.

the used market

everyone remembers tomogatchi, they were like a digital houseplant.

the only problem with that solution being applied to generic websites is schools and institutions can have many legitimate users from one IP address and many sites don’t want a chance to accidentally block one.

it’s as much “real” art as photography, taking a relatively finite number of decisions and finding something that looks “good”.

what if you are displaying a live bill for a service billed monthly, like bandwidth, and are charged one pence/cent/(whatever eutopes hundredth is called) per gigabyte if you use a few megabytes the bill is less than a hundredth but still exists.

but you can, it’s about as likely as having one from a thigh-job but is technically not impossible.

maybe if it was able to do anything useful (like tell me where specific settings that I can’t remember the name of but know what they do are on my phone) people would consider them slightly helpful. But instead of making targeted models that know device specific information the companies insist on making generic models that do almost nothing well.

If the model was properly integrated into the assistant AND the assistant properly integrated into the phone AND the assistant had competent scripting abilities (looking at you Google, filth that broke scripts relying on recursion) then it would probably be helpful for smart home management by being able to correctly answer “are there lights on in rooms I’m not?” and respond with something like “yes, there are 3 lights on. Do you want me to turn them off”. But it seems that the companies want their products to fail. Heck if the assistant could even do a simple on device task like “take a one minute video and send it to friend A” or “strobe the flashlight at 70 BPM” or “does epubfile_on_device mention the cheeto in office” or even just know how itis being ran (Gemini when ran from the Google assistant doesn’t).

edit: I suppose it might be useful to waste someone else’s time.

it makes sense when you compare it to the alternative: unincorporated land.

I’m surprised that they didn’t do this first.

he is a leader for a country that is actively being bombed by Russia, I would expect him to do better at bootlicking if he wants foreign aid.

caller id is the thing that tells you the number. it isn’t cheap to forge, but it’s the only way a scan could reasonably effect anyone with more than half a brain. there is never a reason to send information to an unknown SMS number, or click on a link from a text message from an unknown number.
