Managed to get the new #GLaDOS Voice Assistant architecture MVP working on today's stream. I can now control pretty much anything in the house using my voice, locally, without internet connection and get snarky responses back. Good to have her back, more terrible than ever.

Apparently I had pulled a HTML file instead of an AI model from GitHub. Actual wakeword detection model works marginally better.

The city of Vienna has installed all of this pro-homeless infrastructure and nobody is using it. I mean look at all this trash not laying around.

I still find the government insignia on the top of the page funny. The flag in the middle reminds me of:

The final step of the immigration process is complete; I received my ANMELDEBESCHEINIGUNG and bought Italian wine to celebrate as selected for the occasion by @lonecicada.bsky.social. Now I am officially Viennese 👌🏻

I visited the immigration office today to get my residence permit but went to the wrong office. They stamped my application and said it would be sent to the correct office, and I’d hear back by mail. I applied on time, so I’m technically compliant.

How it is:

Speaking of physical releases, the vinyl cutting booth is next to a public toilet in a park 👌 Which, as an intellectual, I find hilarious.

In Helsinki, slot machines and photo booths crowd public spaces, but Vienna’s got vinyl cutting booths! Super cool, but what local need do they meet? Gotta drop a new single on vinyl on the way to work? 🎶

IMHO Israelin pitää osallistua euroviisuihin ja voittaa ne, oppiipahan EBU olemaan kun joutuu järjestää viisut Tel Avivissa 😆 Porukka boikotoi jo tapahtumaa sen verran että ainoa joka siellä äänestää on Israelin valtio.

Ruuvi.com has published a proper air-quality sensor, preordered one for my lab. Interesting to see what kind of garbage I am breathing, especially as there is no ventilation in the building. ruuvi.com/air/

You get me the E-stop button, I'll make it emit the correct gcode into the CAN-bus to ask the robot nicely to halt what its doing 😁

My #GLaDOS has been on a stick for few years, as I never got around the build her the Stewart Platform. Well, I bought the CAD-files to build a proper robot-arm to mount her into. Its gonna be few nights of 3D-printing.

Thanks to social pressure I got the couch before the residence permit. It will be delivered on November.

Spent 3 hours trying to connect my #Elgato ring light to WiFi. Pressed all buttons, no luck. My AP was on channel 13, illegal in the USA. Switched to channel 6, and it connected immediately. Tech can be such a time-waster.

Couldn't find low-carb ice cream at the local supermarket, so I bought an ice cream machine and used a recipe from ChatGPT. I call it AI-scream.

Sorry, haven't received it. Plz resend. I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you probably wouldn't get it.
