Paragraphs are a wonderful thing, friend.

You can get a SFFPC with 7th Gen i5 for like $40. Apart from low power cost and form factor (and I guess gpio), you would probably just get the SFFPC

>Your rabid fanaticism

Recognizing value isn't "Rabid fanaticism" lol.

I mean, I get it. But I don't think they do anything that "phone in hand discreetly tilted near chest/stomach" doesn't do. If anything this has a recording light, and I can use both my hands :P Essentially a miniature goPro strapped to my eyes.

>recording people in public places

Honestly at this point if I am in public I just assume someone (or something - cctv's everywhere) is recording me at all times.

We'll get there.

For me, this is seriously impressive, and I already use LLMs everyday - but a serious "Now we're talkin" moment would be when I'd be able to stand outside of Lowes, and talk to my glasses/earbuds "Hey, I'm in front of lowes, where do I get my air filters from?"

and it tells me if it's in stock, aisle and bay number. (If you can't tell, I am tired from fiddling with apps lol)

That's a fair point lol, my bad.

Problem is that by that time there would be open source models (the ones that already exist are getting good) that I can run locally. I honestly don't need _THAT_ much.

Wonderful. I don't need them to.

It works for what I need it to do.

>I don't think I'd trust it.

You can audit the code yourself then. What's stopping you?

They're my kids and pets. Problem is that they are not 'don't take my photos' but rather 'oh look what are you holding I am going to focus on that.'

>taking photos of people who don’t want their picture taken

*My* kids and dogs. But ...

>doing things that the phone I already own and have on me all the time can do.

Remember what I said about dogs and my kids stopping what they're doing when a phone is out and focusing on the phone instead? It's not "Don't take my picture." It's "whats that in your hand ooooh gimme."

>your Meta ray bans are submitting all your family members to be face scanned by the Meta surveillance capitalism app

Unless you have a solid evidence of THAT (and not some random link), please do not make unsubstantiated claims.

Anyhow, if you're really curious about how it works : Photos are stored on device and then imported via bluetooth/wifi connection manually or when they're charging. _NOTHING_ gets sent to Meta unless I specifically use the multi-modal Meta AI ("Hey Meta, look and tell me x"). All of this information is out there in several places (including Meta's own documents) as to how this works. It's not very hard to find - easier than making unsubstantiated claims.

You should try to have a normal conversation instead of being argumentative. It tends to help people wanting to talk further. This isn't reddit. :)

Speak for yourself, my workflow and live has been significantly improved with these things. Having easier access to information that I sorta know but want to verify/clarify rather than going into forums/SO is extremely handy.

Not having to write boilerplate code itself also is very handy.

So yes, I absolutely do want this "magic." "I don't like it so no one should use it" is a pretty narrow POV.

I'd hard disagree. I use the Metas all the time and they're incredibly useful, especially to ask quick questions re:plants or what not and then taking impromptu photos of kids and pets etc that are camera shy.

Stirling-pdf. You can self-host it.

>Sorry, why do maintainers owe us anything?

"they're doing it for free, no one owes you anything" is always the argument people make when someone does something reasonably dumb and they need to defend the maintainers/devs. They don't owe anyone anything, but people DO HAVE _REASONABLE_ expectations of them.

>Where?

or some such ;) You may not come across it personally, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. SO is successful as a QA platform(or was anyway) despite this shortcoming, not because it is a feature and it doesn't happen. If a lot of people are talking about the same thing, maybe people should at least pay cursory attention to the issue rather than "No, it doesn't happen" (Not aimed at you, but there are absolutely comments like this every time this gets bought up.)

lol that makes sense, thanks.

I actually have no idea what you mean. can you clarify pls?

As dour as it sounds, I am in a similar boat. Who'd have thought that not needlessly getting called names when you ask a question (even if it's dumb -as that's how you learn) makes people less likely to interact with you.

what's amusing to me is that some people even in this thread are calling it a pro, not a con. I guess our field does indeed attract a certain kind of personality.

>As a developer, if you offer me StackOverflow vs ChatGPT, I'd take StackOverflow any day of the week 100x over.

Really? Hm, I wouldn't. I can use nuance and clarify my answers and have a respectable back and forth (GPT-4 doesn't call me names when I mess up or say something dumb) and arrive at an answer.

Yes it does. If I am belittled instead of people asking clarifying questions so I can learn, I'm much less likely to think better of said people or platform, or use it.

For some reason , but a lot of of the answers here seem to care more about "but tell em /I/ solved it" re: attribution rather than helping the user. Somewhat egoist or some such? ( and I don't mean it as an aggressive tone, just ESL so don't know how to say it othrewise)

If I license something as MIT, I personally don't care who uses it for what purpose, hell I don't even care generally that they attribute me. I put it out for people to use. But maybe that's just me.

You might not want to hear this but no one does this. Should they? probably. But most people don't use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in the first place for SO answers.

3 days later - I sub to Aqua, it's an astonishingly good product. I wish I could insert this on any textbox I wanted to though.

Also I wish for an app. Pls aqua people. Keeping my phone's screen on while I transcribe sucks.

Honestly? it's fine. Every culture does it differently and they all focus in x for lack of y. South Asian cultures for example treat their universities as job training centers (and generally tend to lack liberal arts and social education) whereas universities are ideally supposed to make you a well rounded person etc.

Accidentally? My calibre-web is actually exposed online :P

It doesn't list any books that I have publicly though. All you'll see is a login prompt. Books? what books? You can't DMCA me because I only have gutenberg collections in there ;)

I don't think they can do that with my calibre, and calibre-web collection lol.

I sincerely hope one day they get off their asses and implement casting that their predecessor, overdrive, had.

speaking of, btw, your library likely has 'partner' libraries where you can borrow stuff too using overdrive/libby. You can often see a list on top right of the overdrive page of your respective library.

Are we actually having a conversation? I am saying something and you're just producing a response to that.

Tbf, I am less worried about CS (I already do a lot of technology stuff to solve my IRL problems, not necessarily coding related either - media servers and such), but more about other sciences.

Reading Asimov's essays and a Brief history by Bryson etc have left me a desire to learn more.
