I love your in-the-trenches posts like this.

That machine, all of the apps are installed and functional? I assume your talking about the codebases are available to it but not functional

Or is the LLM interacting with the apps directly in a sandbox?

Are you training a new model with knowledge of all the applications and interlinks?

Or maybe just building a context document for it to ingest with every new chat

Unfortunately I am said guy that knows where the bodies are buried (so to speak) within my company's firewall.

This is an interesting topic to me, since I spend a good chunk of time taking input, questions, bugs reports. To offload that to a knowledgeable agent would be awesome as a starting point

You need the intl php extension. There's also a method to split by word

PHP Laravel code showing how to break text into sentences using locale conventions.

$locale = "en_US";

$i = IntlBreakIterator::createSentenceInstance($locale);
$i->setText($text);

foreach ($i->getPartsIterator() as $sentence) {
  echo $sentence . PHP_EOL . "----------" . PHP_EOL;
}

Output from the previous Laravel code example.

whoa, added to list to look for something like this in PHP. So many times, I split on <space> damn well knowing there will be edge cases to handle differently

ya got me on this one.

I went the route of 'compliment then trash on its inability to produce reality'. Also known as the classic AI take

In this metaphor, do the spilled ingredients on the floor of the kitchen represent the use of "git revert HEAD"?

bada-bing!

ADHD delayed it 2 years.

A simple post from a fellow developer, 10 minutes, and a burst of ADHD....my Upsy Desky is connected and operational

One thing I wasnt expecting is the desk control box powering the ESP32 board. nice!

Thank you @christophrumpel.bsky.social

Stream Deck | Upsy Desky Josh Olsen has created a Stream Deck plugin which lets you adjust your standing desk's height via the Upsy Desky.

and there is a community plugin for it for the Stream Deck

upsy-desky.tjhorner.dev/docs/integra...

and here's the confirmed desk compatibility list

correct. not due to anything other than ADHD. no fault of the device itself

the plan was to integrate with my Home Assistant instance and then pretty much anything's possible. I imagine there would be a way from the Stream Deck directly, but I'm not familiar enough with it to say

Have an upsy desky sitting on my desk, waiting for deployment....for 2 years :(

Thanks for the reminder!

so 2 nvme drives, mirrored for boot drive for proxmox

A couple months back, I purchased a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny i5-8400T for $120 on ebay

Since this model has only a single on-board nvme slot, I also got the riser for the pci-e slot (www.ebay.com/itm/17597339...), and added an nvme to pci-e card.
