  • I hate the HA implementation of voice assist. It’s either “what you are saying has to be recognized as EXACTLY this string” or it’s “try an LLM lol”.

    Hie the fuck do you influence if your voice recognition model spits out “To-do, ToDo, todo, To-Do, To Do or to do”? Because if you try to add an item to the ToDo list, then this difference matters to HA.

    The answer is: by matching what is recognized against all known entities, and picking (with a threshold) the closest match. But that’s just not possible currently.









  • Yeah. Once you get used to the (verbose, but by no means unergonomic!) syntax, you’ll probably never be happy with another language again. Job-wise, I am currently mostly using Go, and while also a nice language, I miss the confidence and security I took for granted with rust.

    Not to mention just how goddamn expressive rust can be. Let bindings like if ok/err, else return? Assign from a match on Some(Ok(x))? Filter, map, and friends on any iterator? Oh my GOD the error handling with the question mark iterator? 100% confidence that if it compiles, no error, possible null value, or case is unhandled.

    And all this WHILE giving you the amazing security benefits!

    Ah, damn, caught me proselytizing again.
