How would one get around this if they found themselves in such a situation?

What about for things like moving objects? I’ve used the AD pluto system but looking for something more affordable

This is the first thing I thought too, the name confused me with the company and brand Vocera, I thought it was from them.

You can do this yourself with Shortcuts app.

Create a timer function to run a shutdown on a time interval you order. Change shutdown to "restart".

I can't believe the full up and down owning of the communications supply chain.

How can we enable the text reply with a function call? Usually the message returned is a tool call only when it calls a tool?

technics256 — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:21:24 +0000

I have preview access to devin, and I can tell you that it's the real deal. It's making PRs to our codebase daily, and acts as a junior engineer.

It frees us up from doing menial tasks and is a great help for stuff like that.

It's not perfect, but it's a glimpse of the future that definitely needs to be noticed.

If it's only compliance then, why not go with the other vendors like Vanta etc?

technics256 — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 20:20:20 +0000

The real frustrating thing about this is how Gemini 1.5 is a marketing ploy only.

Not even 1.0 Ultra is available in the GCP API. only for their "allowlist" clients.

LlamaParse looks nice. Is there way to return page numbers also with the markdown? This is important for our use case.

Gemini is named that way because of the collaboration between Google brain and deep mind

Does anyone actually have access to Ultra yet? It's a lame blog post where it says "it's available!" but the fine print says "by whitelist".

Ok, whatever that means.

OpenAI at least releases it all at once, to everyone.
