Gosh, that does seem helpful but it seems like it should be able to monitor itself and send the messages without being online. Maybe the software update contains more useful functions though.

@RussSharek

Aw, that's very beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. :D

@That_One_Guy

Wow, very pretty. Spring is obviously far more advanced in your part of the world than where I am currently.

Wishing you lots of future nutrition and deliciousness to follow the beauty.

How is the dishwasher working? If it works fine there's probably no reason to update the dishwasher. Did you ever actually connect it to your WiFi and, if so, why?

Seems like the more real-world testing and results sharing that's done the better the results will be. Local really seems to be the way to go but who knows how long it'll be before we get reliable local tools. The overhead is exorbitant at the moment, seemingly in ever possible way.

It should be and, at the very least, the right LLM could be a very useful tool for helping to code. I suspect that, like all the technical innovations that came before, AI is not going to make programmers obsolete, though there may be a prolonged period of cheap and/or ignorant managers who don't know better buying into the hype and getting lots and lots of bad code first.

Someone, possibly in collaboration with an LLM, is bound to invent it any day now. Of course, there's all of that old code to replace or integrate with and as long as people are deciding what to do and how to do that, it's likely to result in a big mess. #realistic

And there's so much repetition in code. For an entity that has access to billions of lines of code most of what needs to be developed can be done with copy and paste.

Funny, myself, and quite a few other "older" people that I know, were enjoying toast with avocado long before it became known as "avocado toast". Avocado toast is free--no generation can legitimately claim ownership. (Although I never even had guacamole, most people's introduction to avocadoes in those days, until the late 1970s.)
