You really got me there

Very cool!

The voice sattelites like this and the Home Assistant voice from a year back are great and I love seeing more options for self hosted fully local devices like this.

But honestly, what I find is missing for a fully local smart home setup is a “brain” for running the assistant LLM in a simple way.

There is plenty of cloud solutions for connecting AI, but true local hosting requires a rig with a proper GPU if you want timely responses. I wonder if it is possible to build a purpose built “brain box” for Home Assistant that is small, not too expensive, fully local.

It just sucks needing a rig with a RTX 3090 or whatever to get the full chain to run fully local. Small LLMs are stupid as dirt and our Home Assistant Green is in no way equipped to handle any form of LLM. I managed to get my gaming rig to host an LLM that was good enough, but I don’t want my gaming rig to be always on, and if I start gaming on it, the GPU has to deallocate all LLM business.

I love fully local stuff, but the LLM part seems very expensive. Even for such a simple thing as managing our lights and music.

Source on this?

I heard this through the grapevine, but haven’t seen a real article about it yet.

We don’t want that here either.

A 9° increase will fuck us and our surroundings over just as well as anywhere else.

50° F = 10° C

Lately?

Isn’t this a typical fish bowl? This is the most common “aquarium type” in all comics I’ve ever read.

Is that… loss…?

Aha, okay. I’ve seen the movie, but the reference wasn’t that clear to me 😄

Thanks for explaining though!

I don’t really get this one

Yeah that’s how most influencers work. But there are others as well.

Could it be good ole gravity? Growing too far out from the wall to support their own weight properly?

Streamlining the game, I like it!

Could mean great savings for team owners. Now they only have to pay one player.

According to Blue Systems employee Aurélien Gâteau, “Blue Systems does not have a business model, at least for now”.

Nice

You’re supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.

Games evolve over time. Get with it or get behind.

Digital signatures might be required to prove your age. Then spoofing won’t do the trick.

I hope I’m wrong though.

Someone explain, please

The profit is the product

I feel like there’s an xkcd for this situation.
