Lost opportunity to rebrand to ClosedAI

Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it’s common to all political parties of the world.

I should’ve gotten fired long ago if that was true… nope, quite the opposite.

Well, I actually do this for real 😅

After the second or third time a coworker (or family member) asks me how I’m doing and gets the “just as bad as usual” response, they just laugh and move on 😂

Then stop lying about it :

“Hey, how you doin’?”

" Everything’s bad, as usual, thanks"

Or

“Just as bad as yesterday, thanks, what about you?”

Or

“… next question?”

If it’s a client and can’t afford to be awkward, just say say

“Just another day”

And if people ask for more details but you don’t want to talk about it, just say :

“Just having a bad day”

Or

“Nothing good happened yet”

Or

“Nothing out of the ordinary”

Or just make up your honest but polite answers

Wait, if you had graphene I didn’t think you’d get the battery crippling update right? Or are you saying that, even though you had graphene, you decided to get a free battery by reverting to stock, then (I guess) put graphene back?

At least there’s still an opt out…

I’m sorry, I hate what Elon is doing, with twitter/X and not only, but I call bullshit on this post, at least until further strong evidence being presented.

I don’t doubt that Elon and Xitter have been pushing his political agenda one way or another, but the post specifically calls out elizaOS and links to some github website and repo which supposedly contains “bread crumbs”. All I see is an AI project that is not (directly, at least) affiliated with Elon, at least from what I could find on a quick internet search, and for sure whose employees were not X employees to be able to leave bread crumbs into. Also the supposed “bread crumb” is just some third party company/organization offering an AI agent mockingmimicking Trump where in its “bio” it says it interfered with the election? Sorry, I need stronger proof.

Same, I use the fpm-alpine image with mariadb, though if I had to start today I’d probably pick postgres instead. Other images are probably fine too.

That people who bought it can hopefully continue using it after the money runs out.

And you don’t have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors?

I get a bunch of upload errors for photos that I delete or move before nextcloud has a chance to upload them, those are safe to ignore. Not sure which errors you’re getting…

Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

Forget about the plain nextcloud photos app, use the Memories app (incl. the android app).

Not as good as immich, from what I understand, but if you already have nextcloud, or need more than just photos, it works well.

It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

It’s definitely not perfect, but since I was able to set it up to work well for me, I’m keeping it, at least until I have time to install immich and figure out how to sync the two (and maybe get a more powerful server to use its ML features). I’m currently running it off of a decade old chromebox …

I have years worth of photos backed up from my phone (android) on Nextcloud, it’s working pretty well… but it matters how you set up the auto upload and a few other things, and I’mnot claiming it’s without issues.

For example, I set it to move files into Nextcloud’s folder after uploading, so they appear as locally synced, and can be deleted to free up space if needed (maybe even automatically, not sure). Also, I set it to also upload existing files, because since they get moved, anything that’s still there clearly needs to be uploaded.

There are a few issues viewing media from the app, sometimes, but I use the Memories app :)

I’ve been meaning to try immich, looks pretty good, but I use Nextcloud for much more than just photos, so I’d have to keep both and have them sync somehow, and I’m not sure how to do that.

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to transmit bits “instantly” i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can’t transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we’d be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.

The second one, of course:

the new research proposes that the breakthrough could make these communications super secure and nearly instantaneous – limited only by the speed of light.

(enphasis mine)

So, yeah, we didn’t break any laws of physics.

Yes. I don’t like being forced to be happy even if I’m not.

There is a difference between computer programmer and software engineers.

Ah, by the way, Edsger W Dijkstra referred to himself as a programmer. Good times.

They are considering it making it open source, among other options to keep the robots alive

Why not just open-source Moxie?” We hear you. We are not dismissing the idea, but this would be a complex undertaking, tied up in legal, technical, and contractual knots. With limited resources, transitioning to open-source is no simple step. However, given your passionate input, we are exploring every avenue—from potential acquisitions and philanthropic support to community-driven models—that could allow Moxie’s mission to live on.

This is sad. I know personally many people that worked there and they’re some of the best engineers. Never cared for an AI robot for kids myself, but it seemed to work well…

The group was private and they created fake profiles … did I miss something?
