OctoPi is included by default for a GUI app, iirc.

Wasps. Fuck wasps. If not for wasps, my family would eat outside most of the summer. As it is, it's either wasps writing 3 minutes of bringing food outside, or a wind strong enough to blow the wasps and our food away.

WiFi mesh networks can have impressive range outdoors, without walls and reflections blocking the wifis. And they can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) so you only need to run 1 cable to hook it up. But for most of my work, a cellphone hotspot is suitable, so long as it's not so remote that I don't get at least a strong 4G signal. Video conferencing isn't very data intensive with compression and, if I'm not running the meeting, slight spottiness is fine.

Over-ear headphones help with this. Then you can just ignore them and pretend you can't hear. (My neurospicy is showing...)

Based. Email is terrible. It’s an unreliable communication system. You cannot depend on sent emails arriving in the recipient’s mailbox—even the spam folder. People indirectly assume that all emails at least get to their spam folder. They don’t. There are multiple levels of filters that prevent most emails from ever making it that far because most email traffic is bots blasting phishing links, scams, and spam. Nobody wants phishing and scam emails, but the blocks that prevent those are being used by big tech to justify discriminating against small mail servers. I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.

Oh, I very much doubt it. AI just introduces lots of new kinds of problems to solve.

I think “contextual awareness” would fit better, and AI Believers preach that it’s great already. Any errors in LLM output are because the prompt wasn’t fondled enough/correctly, not because of any fundamental incapacity in word prediction machines completing logical reasoning tasks. Or something.
