Sweet! I’ll have to set it up and try it again!

Sweet, I’ll have to check it out again! Thanks!

I tried to switch to Jellyfin a long while back but didn’t get far because I couldn’t get it to keep the folder-based organization structure I already had in place for my library. Is it still the case that Jellyfin doesn’t allow folder-centric navigation?

Anytime I hear about DST and timezones, I have to post this Computerphile video.

This is a fantastic idea. Could it already be done with Jupyter Notebooks? I’ve never used Jupyter before, but it seems like this would be close.

I had Google Glass when it came out. It was essentially this, but the tech at the time was still too bulky and voice and other things that would’ve made it better were not quite ready yet. A little too ahead of its time, but the idea was there. In fact, since then, I’ve seen attempts to do what you’re asking, and we’re getting closer. The problems now are the cameras & microphones and privacy, and bulkiness of the devices.

I know it’s a very unpopular opinion around here, but this was pretty much the dream and why agents were built. The problem is their inefficiency and training mechanics. However, I read about A2A as a way to achieve this through a demo, where your local machine talks with airlines and hotels to find out availability, asks you questions on preferences, and tries to find a solution. Some existing vacation planners already do this, but I know your ask is in general, and I think that was the plan for engineers. I’m sure they were steered in other directions though. Things like this could be done without AI, though, but standardization is required and to achieve that we have to deal with a very human problem: cooperative agreement. It’s rare when people agree so completely on a standard, which is why some of the most basic things the Internet is based on takes forever before finally becoming a standard. Sometimes it takes just one method/format to become the standard based on popularity, but for tools to work together, it requires multiple parties to agree and then others to want to join in and adopt it. The unfortunate part is that as things expand, needs change and things get messy really quick.

I mean, that’s sort of already happening: Model Collapse. It’s just a matter of time now.

In a way, I think the early AOL had this idea.

For me, it was a combination in middle school: replaying Sonic 2 on the Genesis, Extreme-G on N64, and re-affirmed with XGRA on Xbox.
