The real answer is “what’s the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?”

If it’s “just as written on a test” I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.

If it’s an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.

Can’t quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

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.

I do all three every time I do something new, it’s basically mandatory for me. Every time I did it correctly did numerics tested over and over via voice itself. Timers always behave and require that as well.

This was just the first time, after anxiety had faded, it had failed to transcribe in a useful fashion.

Makes me want to look into more-predictable STT systems.

Reporting like that really is something I should be doing more of. I think about it lots at work and when I go home I guess I often turn off that part.

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.

Thank you, I needed the laugh for this x3

Hopefully my peppers aren’t dying from being drowned, nor my other plants. Guess I gotta feed them when I get home from work!

I set it up as just a sentence automation, not as a separate script being fired where that’d have caused an error. I’ve not found a means of forcing validation like that in sentence automations, only in custom sentences/intents (never quite gotten a handle on those)

It’s not just that, it’s that they don’t care. People keep assuming it’s solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can’t fight it from existing to begin.

They’ll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can’t afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.

Forgejo is a git server.

UI looks very similar to older GitHub before it got so “modern” in a bad way.

Yep. Dropout use them for a streaming backend.

Alternatively, it comes off as a person who has tried this in earnest numerous times and is exhausted by people who assume that they haven’t given things a genuine shot.

And there are few things more grating than a tech person assuming the other person doesn’t know what they are doing in earnest just because they were short with you from having already explained it elsewhere, numerous times over time, to the same result of what is, effectively, tone policing. “You didn’t phrase this in a technical manner thus I assume you know jack shit.” Not far off from sea-lioning really.

I ended up picking up two of the Home Assistant Voice PE devices and I’ve been fairly happy with them. I even extended their firmware so I have a clock display on each with one being my bedroom alarm clock even. But even out of the box functionality, as long as you can either run faster-whisper on Home Assistant (or another box), or don’t mind their lighter device-control-only route, is totally solid.

Plus music streaming to them (with an external speaker attached via the 3.5mm jack) is pretty good!
