Depends on how you look it it. Whenever I couldn't sleep as I child, I went and grabbed my Gameboy to play Pokémon for a few minutes/hours to make my brain tired and slept afterwards. Worked quite well actually, and still does today.
#TimeToTehOn...Good morning. I like FastSM rather more than tc, only probably because it loads faster, and takes up less RAM space. However, I won't be running it networkly like I can TC, for the simple reason that I cannot localise user data, or not that I know of. I don't use Telegram that much on the pc anyway, because most who have my details there, also follow me on mastodon, so no use boring people on telepaw if I already posted here anyway. BlueSky I don't have, and probably will never have either...Between my facebook/mastodon.africa/fluffy.family accounts I already have 3 social media related accounts, and that seems to be enough for now. However, knowing me, I may just fall for Bluesky, like I fell for the Seika Mini2 Smart Braille Notetaker...so I'll never say never, simply because I know myself well enough to know that curiosity might indeed push me to get bluesky regardless of the current reluctance. Anyway, have a nice day on this humpday.
A veces me pregunto medio en serio si debería haber un partido que representase los intereses de los empleados públicos, y la calidad de los servicios públicos. Luego se me pasa.
It occurs to me that I haven't yet tested FastSM's ability to upload media to Mastodon. So I hereby present something which I call, "Girl, You Know it's False." I take the intro to the Milli Vanilli song "Girl, You Know it's True," where a man and a woman are talking to each other on opposite stereo channels, then I deliberately use and normalize the channel where each person is *not* talking. What you hear is a really echoy conversation, with almost certainly tape hiss and even some 50 Hz hum in the background. Then at the end the two orchestra hit type things also sound weird. Anyway here goes.
Well, I got GPT5 Pro mode again, asked it to help refactor my driver because I don't do a good enough job myself of that, and now it's been thinking for 88 minutes. Either it's going to give me a big disaster pile, or I somehow got it stuck. Longest time I've seen it think was like 65 minutes haha. But what the heck can you do for 88 minutes! This better be good. I feel like I'm asking a real coder to do the work, but worse, because it's not an actual real coder but a program, so it's more disappointing.
@xogium @stormproductions I'm a noob vibe coder so nothing I say matters, but all three of my NVDA addons were done with GPT 5 and they all worked after a couple hours of back and forth, for what that's worth.
@stormproductions @xogium I honestly haven't found it difficult with this. I talked through what I wanted, it happened. Does Gemini have a decent GUI? I don't feel like doing all that from cli if I don't have to.
@xogium @stormproductions I do use Gemini, quite often to double-check code GPT wrote, because it will scan through it a lot faster. But (at least on web) it's horrible at pasting back code you gave it exactly 1 to 1 still, like it'll omit sections that it's pasting back of the code I gave it, and I'm yelling at it "give me full pieces! No omissions!" Haha. It's gotten better but GPT having an entire container inside to access and run Linux commands, not to mention I've uploaded a 30-40 MB zip file to it with my entire Gitub repo and Gemini just yells at me, "file is too large." LOL.
@FreakyFwoof @stormproductions @xogium Gemini's cli has a special --screen-reader flag that is really nice. It's why I keep them around honestly it's the nicest to use.
@serrebi @FreakyFwoof @stormproductions @xogium oh interesting! May give it a try at work, we have access to both. I have Google One plan which I share with my partner so we both get Gemini, they prefer it and honestly OpenAI has never allowed for family sharing like that, quite unfortunate. I feel like I need both in my toolbox. OpenAI (pro for now, we'll see if I make enough use of it this month to count) for those "think through and patch files direct inside container for you" moments, Gemini for the "review my code I wrote and that it's not trash and passable to an AI to work on", and they both look at different areas of the code. GPT will get it done even if you give it a bad idea to get done, Gemini's for sure a lot more cautious. So I can't decide on either these days, usually my workflow is augmenting one's response with the answer of the other, which makes me wonder what a powerful tool could be built if it just passed your prompt between the 2 AIs to solve, I'm sure someone's thought of that by now.
@FreakyFwoof @stormproductions @xogium I'm terrible for pointing this out to you, it probably doesn't apply but they give you an individual youtube premium sub with ultra. I wish it was family , then I'd think about it at least.
