Is it stealing if that’s why it’s there?

Especially if you put a link in a comment for attribution.

Well if you do, contribute it to home assistant and I’ll install it 😆, it’s actually a little surprising conversions aren’t supported natively but I guess there is a lot to cover and they will get there eventually.

Home assistant has an automation event that lets you set the conversation result, but you’ve already passed my ability haha so I can’t tell you how to pull the result in from an external service.

It may well be worth building it as a home assistant integration rather than just custom sentence triggered automations.

Worth noting you need both the speaker part and the server part. Home assistant sells both as out of the box ready to go but you do need both parts.

It’s also worth noting it’s a Preview Edition, as in not yet consumer ready.

It works but you will find quirks, and will find things it can’t do that you’d expect it to, and things it can do that others can’t.

It’s also very customisable, if you’re a bit technical (honestly you don’t need to be that technical these days, it has come a long way).

Do you have a plan? I have a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and it’s great but I don’t think it can do unit conversions without connecting it to an LLM. Timers work locally.

I guess if it’s an equation you could add automation to pick up on the phrase and reply with the conversion, but that would need each unit to be manually done and wouldn’t work for things like currency conversion that needs live data.

Also arbitrary things would be challenging, like converting tablespoons of butter into grams or grams of rice into cups.

It’s probably that VPNs are blocked on Lemmy.world. It’s linked in the sidebar: https://lemmy.world/post/11967676

Was it in NZ or is this really common? Here’s the one I know: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/531909/himatjit-kahlon-convicted-of-manslaughter-after-giving-meth-laced-beer-to-employee-aiden-sagala

I always assumed one day the separate mail and parcel services would become one. In my mind letters would be delivered as a parcel, so driven to your door instead of a service that passes every door.

Though another comment says in this case another company will be picking up the service.

Yeah that’s a fair point. I don’t think Dropbox does ads but the others I mentioned and the ones you mentioned all show/play ads for the free tier.

I guess OpenAI will be pretty keen to get ads into their free tier too, once they run out of investors’ money.

Thanks for the numbers, you were saying the subscriber percentage was embarrassing so I was curious about that rather than their fairly infamous losses.

You’ve said OpenAI have about half the subscriber percentage of Dropbox, but if Dropbox is that profitable then that seems like they are doing particularly well and perhaps that subscriber percent is above average?

What’s a normal amount? What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?

Having a little over 1% doesn’t seem that bad, I am faar more surprised that over 1% of users pay for ChatGPT (if your numbers are accurate).

As someone with a public facing website, there are significant volumes of scraping still happening. But largely this appears to come out of South East Asia and South America and they take steps to hide who they are so it’s not clear who is doing it or why, but like you say it doesn’t appear to be OpenAI, Google, etc.

It doesn’t appear to be web search indexing, the scraping is aggressive and the volume will bring down a Lemmy server no matter how powerful the hardware.

What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?

So testing on animals?

Yeah that’s a pretty good argument for it.

Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?

Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?

I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.

Multiple people in this topic say they organise in directories for different programming languages, something I have never considered and I find it to be an odd way of organising for some reason I can’t explain.

Where do you put a project with a Javascript frontend and a Python backend?

Haha yip that’s the top album for me, this checks out. Apparently I/we are a top 1% global fan with 667 minutes listened to.

I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?
