homeassistant@lemmy.world•I really dislike LLMs/AI but.......English
51·4 days agoThe right tool for the right job… LLMs can’t do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn’t mean the technology is wholly useless.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"?English
4·4 days agoOn one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

3·4 days agoThis only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

5·4 days agolol nah, instead of the show they’ll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore their lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.
Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that’s all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.

I think I will need to be sold a bit on Holly Hunter, but otherwise this looks pretty great and much better than I expected when announced.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Smart light bulb suggestionsEnglish
2·5 days agoI found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.
Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.
If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.

Technology@beehaw.org•Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economyEnglish
44·17 days agoNot saying you’re wrong (pretty sure you’re not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

How is that not 95%?




Honestly I was upset when they announced the “pivot to AI”, but Mozilla is the only company I’ve seen actually using LLM tech in a productive, helpful way. The link preview feature is nice too.
