I don't like the sound of that. Why do humans always need to spoil new advancements by finding the worst use cases?

Why do you assume it's the worst use case? It's checking important info that has been entered into forms. People lie. Someone has to verify info. It's very tedious and something that obviously should be automated. And it's about 70% automated already.

The legitimate objection people have to AI in this use case is that it can be slow or stupid in a way that wastes time. By acting more humanlike, we signal that we are going to be closer to human level performance.


any headphones or speaker with skip buttons. in podcasts it skips forward 30 or back 15 seconds. perfect for skipping ads.

I just want the button, no speakers or headphones though.

There's "Bluetooth Media Button Remote Control" on Amazon, the wrist style is nice if you're in a workout or something but probably too nerdy for sitting on the couch :)

There's also something similar, 'puck' designed to mount to your car steering wheel.


strawberry isn't a trick question. llms jus don't sea letters like that. I just asked chatgpt how many Rs are in "Air Fryer" and it said two, one in air and one in fryer.

I do think it can be useful though that these errors still exist. They can break the spell for some who believe models are conscious or actually possess human intelligence.

Of course there will always be people who become defensive on behalf of the models as if they are intelligent but on the spectrum and that we are just asking the wrong questions.


for a laugh enter nonsense at https://gradium.ai/

You get all kinds of weird noises and random words. Jack is often apologetic about the problem you are having with the Hyperion xt5000 smart hub.


Hey Rob. I'm not on the tech team here at Gradium (I do GTM) but still curious where you found the glitch? Were you entering words into the STT in the bottom of the front page? Can you share an example so I can replicate? Many thanks!


And in copilot.


How does this compare to Happy Coder? https://github.com/slopus/happy


Anecdotally from some Omnara users who have used both, I've heard that reliability and latency when sending messaages is better in Omnara

We try to provide a decent chunk of features on top as well, including (but not limited to):

* web support

* worktrees

* sandboxing

* richer git management (richer diffs, checkpoints, git operations)

* preview URLs


I believe Happy has been abandoned. I am a Happy user and I got my wife to also use it. She had a bunch of complaints. She was basically begging me to just start making those changes into Happy source code directly (I even pay money to support Happy), but I believe it's gone. Omnara has a better business model.


is there any such manager out there that uses the ACP protocol? (https://agentclientprotocol.com/)

Ideally I would like a ACP proxy wrapper, where I integrate ACP into my code editor and still be able to use it remotely via a phone.


How have you found performance with chrome in 8gB? Is the ram shared with the GPU?


It would be good if it used interval names rather than relying on absolute notes. Eg minor third, fifth etc. Also notes played together and more and more complex chords as level gets higher. keyboard shortcuts would be great too. And a fully hands-free mode with voice input for practise while doing other things.


If you need a variety of trainers, I recommend the Tenuto app. I train with it most mornings, but am currently only using 2 of the 24 - interval and fretboard note identification.


about power usage: sure there exists a light bulb such that this draws less power, but the vast majority of light bulbs are far less than 15W. Also the mac mini sips power when idle at only 2-4W. This isn't a criticism of the product, only the marketing material.

The other thing is that moltbot/openclaw or what ever it's name is today is massively hyped AI slop that will be replaced by the next over hyped AI thing in a matter of weeks.

I had a look and it does look like a great deal for the price. It would probably be good for running home assistant. If you marketed a version with HA preloaded you could beat the Nexus1 AI base station [0] to market.

The thing Home Assistant needs, or any AI assistant like Openclaw, is an affordable smart speaker with a good microphone array and open firmware. I think there would be a good market for that combination, even with people who would be put off by the security and privacy concerns of Openclaw.


Also a lot of what you learn is how to work around limitations of today's models and agent frameworks. That will all change, and I imagine things like skills and subagents will just be an internal detail that you don't need to know about.
