Side quest: Home Assistant with Reolink cameras and Frigate (AI object and event classification). To catch the jerk of a dog who has sneaking food from tables.
Detects only dogs and alerts my phone. I have a renote control citronella spray collar with remote control. Sends a beep as a warning or a puff of mist as a deterrent.

I know for most people here, LLM is on the nose as is vibe coding.
But a few weekends of vibe coding has gotten me to a very fun place.
I have weekly meal prep and planning and shopping down to under 10 minutes comparing prices from multiple stores nutritionally balanced and varied recipes.
In about two months of testing, we’ve already saved a couple of hundred dollars.
We also have almost 0 food

Oh.. Telstra fault looks like core network issue! It seems a heap of prefixes (blocks of Telstra network addresses) just got updated through different routes at 3am (i.e. the Internet suddenly realised they can't reach parts of Telstra so there was a mad scramble to find alternate routes!)
So probably NOT BGP (this time!), but definitely a big issue on some core routing/signalling infrastructure!

Unfortunately. The polarising love/hate for LLM has meant classic ML awesomeness has been sidelined.
Popcorn Vision was pre LLM and helped me perfect my popcorn recipe!

About

Teaching and creating cyber-security for postgrad at Edith Cowan University. Love retro tech and have a real nostalgia for 80s/90s computing and telecommunications. I'm a total sucker for retro tech, 90s movies, geeky & Macguyver projects, cryptography, cyber security, new and emerging technology. Passion for helping postgrad and research students (have worked with many postgrad project students). Twitter refugee, finally activating my dormant mastodon. Already enjoying the vibe here more! DM and @ welcome - bring it on!
