Has anyone managed to get a connection to Vertex working inside the AI Studio environment?
I keep finding conflicting information that Vertex blocks all the AI studio dev environment from connecting?
I've seen the beaches on the 4th and....wow.
What is it like on the lake though for boat owners?
One said they ran out of gas at the marinas but how crowded is the lake itself?
Along the shores it looks dense in photos but out in the lake itself?
With so many drones now having the option for a controller with a very nice integrated screen OR buying the controller and you attach your own phone: is there any difference in range?
The integrated controllers almost always show the antenna ears you fold out.
I'm assuming the ones with the phone holder clips have the antenna in the clip?
I just always wonder if maybe it's making a difference in range?
The manufacturer specs don't note a difference between the two so I'm probably just being OCD?
I heard Sudo burns a lot of credits but I started a trial and wanted to see how it's story bible worked.
The feature looks amazing.
So I pasted a 3,000 word short story with two characters.
I build the first character in the story bible myself.
Then I made a new character entry with said character's name and told it to update the character entry using the story.
10,000 credits.
WOW 😲
I'm sort of excited to be able to say, "Don't make me tap the sign".
I feel like it would make the clients who aren't problems laugh and the ones who are... wouldn't really get it.
*edit
It's a Haiku people. You REALLY have to enforce the syllables and pauses to get that 5-7-5.
I also like the semi-colon. It draws the eyes and grinds the teeth ;)
Has anyone noticed any improvements or is it still painfully slow as it's been the last month or so?
There are a million YouTube reviews of individual drones.
However, I can't seem to find a drone site that keeps a ranking list and running list of "best" by category.
Like how headphones websites will do and have ongoing comparison charts (soundguys or any of those type).
With so many new drones coming out it's a super exciting time, but there doesn't seem to be a way to keep a running ranking and comparison.
There must be a few great sites, I just haven't found them.
The “BAR Association” has a beautiful name, but even their name is FAKE because when you walk into their luncheons expecting a beautiful celebration, it makes it sound like a Prestigious Organization, which it is not. Not even a bar is present, open, or otherwise.
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS !
I recently walked into a room expecting to attend a highly anticipated and very important luncheon regarding my Nomination for Acting Attorney General.
We were scheduled to discuss completely legal and beautiful arrangements, like how I can be gifted a free Luxury RV, options for an adopted child of my choosing to receive Free Tuition, and of course, lavish resort stays at the great Crow Estate, along with unlimited yacht trips and usage!
Instead, I stumbled across what was obviously a Secret Meeting. There were about 35 lawyers sitting around listening to a USCOA judge giving a speech. They are very bad for our Country. But the absolute worst part, and the reason I am writing this, was a young, highly awkward junior associate lawyer sitting right in the middle of it all, engaging in the WOKE WEAPONIZATION OF NOTE TAKING!
This associate brought in a massive legal pad and was taking copious amounts of notes. He was flipping pages so loudly it was practically deafening! Write, write, write, flip, flip, flip! He was writing Volumes, creating a massive disturbance, and just generally being unintentionally awkward and highly annoying to everyone around him.
It was a complete disaster and very distracting to my beautiful train of thought! The front of his legal pad did not work without the back of his legal pad—it was all one highly integrated, annoying unit!
And to make matters worse, I looked over at the buffet line and saw that they were freely handing out Ham Sandwiches. I was totally surprised to see ham sandwiches available, as I’ve had a heck of a time getting anything done to any ham sandwiches lately, no matter how hard I try! You can't even indict one anymore because of the Radical Left!
These people suffer from Transcription Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS, and they use loud, copious note-taking to distract from the fact that they have absolutely no STANDING to be eating those sandwiches. A complete disgrace!
Looking at the various controllers, though specifically the Ruko RC3 for their u11mini.
The drones that have GPS follow to follow the controller or return to home at the controller location.
Is there anyway to test the accuracy of the GPS reading?
The RC3 has a built in GPS in the controller so the drone can find it.
However, the controllers that plug-in to a cellphone, those phone GPS chips are (I assume?) more accurate just because the phones use them so much and are so expensive?
Does anyone have any sort of information on this or know of any testing?
Is there an app or website you are using ti store all your notes, chapters, etc and then all various AI models?
Are people using something like OpenRouter to connect between your writing workspace and LLMs?
Are you using an all in one environment, like Venice (though it's turned to slow trash sadly 5 or 15 secondresponses now take 30 minutes)
I'm curious how people are interfacing with the LLMs.
Is there no way to fork chats in the app?
Why does the app lack so many features of the website?
I have been using GLM for a good while, roughly since it came out on Venice, using 5.1 currently.
It has gotten to the point where a single sentence takes 30 seconds for it to finish typing out.
What is going on with the delays?
Grrr...
Yeah wonderful...
Thanks for pricing out working people yet again...
Here's a thought: tax homes over $10 million with a fat fat tax and use that for lake and infrastructure improvements....
>As wealthy Californians flee the state, deep-pocketed buyers are taking refuge in Nevada, which is starting to rival Florida as a tax haven for the elite. Amid surging demand for prime Tahoe property in Nevada, a recent string of megadeals reflects the premium buyers are willing to pay for a lower tax bill—and the widening price gap between the two sides of the lake.
>In the Tahoe area, Nevada homes typically carry a roughly 20% premium over similar California properties, Dietz said, and the delta is far wider for the priciest homes. “A $20 million property on the California side will be $40 million to $50 million on the Nevada side, that’s how dramatic the spread is,” he said.
I've seen this too often over the years. I had a good friend who was (now retired) a veterinarian and he talked about how people started doing this more and more recently.
They would "find" a "lost" dog, then NOT report it to animal control.
They would sometimes bring it in to have the chip scanned which then gave them exactly who the owner was, but then they would try to leave with the dog, claiming they would reunite the dog.
Most of the time it was bullshit.
They were either
Or
The vet started seeing the SAME people always "finding" "lost" dogs.
Once he stopped letting them leave with the dogs (told them no he'd keep the dog for animal services to pickup) the people got angry and make a million excuses for why they "just couldn't let a poor puppy stay in an awful place like the pound".
It was one of the reasons he retired he couldn't deal with the shit he was seeing from people and cruelty or weird shit they did.
Long rambling story short, if you "find" a "lost" dog IMMEDIATELY report it lost.
They will come to you to collect the dog or you can drop the dog off. The place is by the airport Reno isn't so big it's some 90 minute drive.
If you CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO REPORT THE LOST DOG AND DROP IT OFF, then DON'T PICKUP THE DOG.
Most dogs know exactly where home is, taking a dog back to YOUR home and NEVER reporting it GUARANTEES the owners will NEVER FIND THEIR DOG.
Most dogs who run off just slipped the leash or ran out an open fence gate and wanted to chase something random.
They walk right back home where they live.
Imagine if this was a baby or a child:
"Hey I found this kid and pulled them into my car, I had to lure them with some candy, I didn't drop them off at the police station or hospital or call anyone but here's a photo so if you want your kid back call me..."
Yeah, that's a crime.
I'm NOT saying people here are doing this but it happens A LOT...
If you find a lost pet immediately call and report it to Washoe County Regional Animal Services (WCRAS).
https://www.washoecounty.gov/animal/lost_and_found/Index.php
Otherwise it's just kidnapping.
Moreover, pulling a dog into your car to "help" can freak out the dog. It may try to escape (because it's being kidnapped) it may then bite you because (well you're kidnapping it).
Then the dog gets killed all because someone couldn't call animal control to handle it.
Now there's a dog who was kidnapped AND now dead because it bit a human through no fault of it's own.
*Nevada law is 10 day quarantine after a bite, destruction of the dog is THANKFULLY not legally required in this state after the first bite BUT it's up to the officer. There's no GOOD outcome regardless, so it's best to avoid that happening.
I normally would freeze plastic water bottles and toss them in the cooler and go when kayaking or traveling or whatever and the frozen water bottles were perfect to keep things cold then drink as they thaw.
Any suggestions for alternative bottle containers I can freeze?
Maybe all metal or something?
Has anyone found anything that seems to work well for this?
A dock hand said this happened last week, but I don't see anything about it on the news or local socials.
Maybe I'm just out of touch, but did anyone hear about or know about multiple boats sinking due to a storm this last week?
edit:
I was sent this
I missed this case entirely but it sure looks like fun.
*Pops some popcorn and leans back to 0.1 smug self reflection and schadenfreude....
(It's Friday just a person dream just a little)
tons of background on this case, just completely slipped past me:
**Dissatisfied, Dela Torre uploaded her attorney-client correspondence to ChatGPT, asking “whether she was being gaslighted.”[5] ChatGPT concluded she was.[6] Dela Torre fired her attorneys and attempted to reopen the suit pro se with the help of ChatGPT—complete with 21 motions, eight notices and statements, and a subpoena.[7]**
I don't know what the proper etiquette is for this and I don't want to be a jackass inadvertently.
Can I cruise (slowly) into Emerald bay and anchor my boat near a shoreline and let my passengers (my teen kids) launch the paddle board and just board around the bay?
Is there a site to check with any off limits areas or just follow the usual which is observe the buoys there, etc?
Does this impact anyone here or do you know anyone in the field this impacts (don't out yourself saying you have an active case with the DOJ).
I've just never seen or heard of anything remotely like this but these are insane times.
I'm trying to think of other analogous situations where the Court said, "Always assume party X is acting in bad faith and your first order of business should be filing to quash because I'll just grant it by default."
I'm imagining perhaps a court where they say, "Local PD are a bunch of liars so I'm going to toss out every single traffic ticket by default if you ask them to provide dashcam footage of the event because I know they just lie about everything and write bogus tickets."
*Paraphrasing obviously but regardless
Something Reno and Nevada overall should seriously consider passing on the state and local level.
We have (effectively) unlimited solar power potential.
They want to build here because we're cheaper than CA but close enough that the big CA tech companies can still get low latency connections to the data centers.
If they bring their own energy then sure enjoy but we don't need them leeching off our power and water and driving up all our prices.
