I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

  • Yes, I’m aware that ML is a field of computer math artificial intelligence. But purposefully trotting that out is tantamount to doing unpaid work for Sam Altman at this point since in parlance nearly everyone uses “AI” as shorthand for modern generative AI systems as well as the hype itself.

    Which thus…no, it wasn’t called AI before, it was generally referred to as machine learning or neural networks with that implying it was AI (math) before it became labeled as AI (hype).

    This feels like really unnecessary pedantry.


  • Yep. In the fix I linked I set it up to default to a word if it fails the template instead, so it’ll then check for a match to that word (“fail”) and if so it just falls back to 5 minutes and will tell me as much.

    Going to be a hell of a lot better about that in the future though. Was definitely a rookie mistake on my part to assume that just because it’d worked every time I’d tested it, used it, and with timers and all thus far that it would always work 100% of the time. Why assume when you can validate? I do in code I write… Guess I don’t think about it in the same way with HA as much, oops.





  • Speech to text, not AI. No one called it AI until the tech execs started purposefully conflating them all to make folks who say they’re “anti-AI” look bad against all other machine learning. And now even fucking Nuance calls DragonSpeak “AI” even though it’s always been machine learning-based since it first started.

    It’s one of those stupid things that would just need a toggle to force transcription context. Probably works flawlessly with Nabu Casa’s STT, but even though I pay them for it I want it local. Hell, I’m pretty sure Dragon even has (or had) switches for forcing certain processing methods.
