  • I agree with you in that a lot of his arguments are inconveniences rather than blockers. but there are still a lot of problems with the design when we could easily not put them right exactly there and end up with a better outcome.

    Dust --> attach a brush in front of the train

    Dust + water isn’t going to just brush off, they’ll need to send purpose build devices to wash them and it’s not going to work well at speed.

    Im not sure we use the machine that he showed in the video to replace the gravel. At the same time it looks like the tracks stay untouched. Its not something that is done often.

    Rebalasting track has to happen based on environment. Some areas will need it often, the rocks beneath the ties end up getting pushed deeper and need to be back-filled

    In the comments they talk about the toilet releasing the waste on the tracks. In Switzerlands trains theres WC’s (water closets). So the sun will evaporate the waste. Also we dont want to eat from the panels its just to generate electricity.

    Waste has a lot of mineral content and the bioplaques are incredubly durable and not see through.

    He talks about huge shipments of coal in Switzerland xd WHAT THE HELLY ??!!(the 1800s called, they want their environmental policy back)

    Coal is less prevalant, but even at that, yhere is noting clean about rail lines. Brakes, metal on metal wheels. def need to wash the panels and probably agitate to get dirt off that close to the suspension. It’s solvable. but putting them on racks a few feet away from the track would be less of a mess, not cost all that much and make maintenance and diagnostics easier.

    All in all, putting them along rail lines is a reasonable idea, but there’s no real need to cause all these difficulties if they just put them up on slightly elevated structures to one side of the track. The cost for galvanized pipes is barely a rounding error on the whole project.

    Meal prep sounds like the most amazing thing.

    Half a day prep with dishes, just basic dishwasher the rest of the week, all that contiguous free time.

    So I put on an audio book or some jams and start cooking.

    2 great things that are hard, 3 decent things that are moderate, 4-5 ok things that are easy

    one time dish cleanup, spread out into the bentos. Stack em into the fridge.

    Monday: 3 yummy meals ***
    Tuesday: 3 ok meals **
    Wednesday: 3 yummy meals ***
    Thursday: god, i’m tired of this stuff already 3 ok meals, some of the sides are easy and meh **
    Friday: Running out of good stuff, the bad stuff ruins the mediocre stuff 3 i’m sick of this meals *
    Saturday: I’m tired of the good stuff, over the ok stuff, i don’t want the bad stuff 3 * meals
    Sunday: time to meal prep, I’m so sick of meal prep already. God all these dishes, all that cooking…



  • Yeah, even from a non-accessibility standpoint, they’re severely lacking. Text replacement shortcuts, mouse automation, it feels like a nightmare when you long for the control Windows users still have over their systems.

    I’ve been using the Speed of Sound appimage for voice input, but it’s just basic whisper to text on a global hotkey. I can get mouse control via python but only relative positioning. I tried to hack in some dead reckoning going to a bounding corner and coming back out but it’s super cagey with accelleration which i’m not willing to turn off.

    You’re not an edge case; there are lots of us out there who would use a proper input api.



  • Can, but there are issues. As you travel and change towers, that vpn connection has to tear down and be rebuilt on the next IP. Towers are only a couple miles apart best case so at 60, any realtime ip communication gets bad. She doesn’t love running the client full time and just wants to see the ip cameras.

    The real solution would be simply stand up an haproxy with https and require a specific certificate to communicate. which i can do… but why when i’d just want to donate to home assistant anyway.



  • We’ve gone through tons of vendors. We’ve spent tons on well known vendors, we’ve spent pittances on shitty vendors, in the end, they all outsource to some random polyglot who either doesn’t quite have a grasp on one language or the other or maybe doesn’t have the whole context. For some reason, they fail to give us a good translation some percentage of the time and the communities bitch. It’s a mix really and if they would do the job right the first time, it would be awesome. We’re translating into a dozen languages and on a busy month, we might send out 1200 names/paragraphs to be translated.


  • It can work for some things, but you have to be careful AF.

    Most of the ‘reasoning’ models are already doing this or web searches to make sure answers are sane. Hallucinations are still all over the place, but they’re processing the request multiple times on multiple models and only giving you back answers that don’t have too many red flags.

    I was told to test out what it could do for translation. Single model translate was in the ballpark but rarely really great. translate your shipment has arrived to french.

    Then take the suggested output to a local model, say i was told this was the proper translation for “your shipment has arrived” in French where the context is it’s an airdrop from a plane and it’s a crate full of food.

    rate this translation from 1 to 5, 1 being poor and 5 being excellent and give me examples why you thing it’s rated that way

    take that back to the first model,

    I was told that this was an acceptable translation, but a better one might be …

    Then i took the output and put it up against our professional translations.

    both models spitballing off each other were at least acceptable 99% of the time, and once in a while the output was more accurate than the professional service we were paying to do it.

    We still use the professional service, but I vet their output now.
