hi I exist
Wall

It’s here, say hi to neubot —> https://neubot.joshatticus.site

it’s a semantic parsing (a subset of natural language processing) chatbot kinda like Google Assistant or Siri. Even better, it doesn’t use LLMs.

it’s currently in beta with so much more planned for it, it already has basic clock, weather, search and spotify* integration and we plan on adding way more in the very near future.

*spotify has been implemented however I’m waiting on approval from spotify to allow everyone to use it, and you may not be able to link your account until it is approved, in the meantime I can manually approve people who are particularly interested, just let me know :)

gn gonna release smth tommorow hopefully

God this week has been eventful

  • Pixel 8 Pro dieded and melted

  • Switched to galaxy s9 for now

  • Got 4 phones, 3 fully working iPhone pluses (6, 7 and 8) and a Galaxy S7 which sadly has broken USB data, I get device descriptor request failed in device manager and no way to re-flash the firmware to try and fix it

I suddenly care about nova search again so more features on the way! Also turns out it hasn’t been crawling pages so all 200k+ need to be re-indexed YIPPEE

Update: they unbanned LED lights after we put signs on all the light switches saying you can't use the lights because they're LED and therefore banned and also unplugged all the computer monitors

This is not a joke my school banned all LED lights because I brought in some cheap plastic LED light bulbs and gave them to my friends and we just walked around with them to intimidate teachers and students

The reason they banned them was because they can shatter (as plastic so notoriously does of course) and have toxic chemicals (unlike very safe glass fluorescent lights)

my power went out like an hour ago and it still isn't back we love western power 🤩

We’ve updated our user interface to be more organised and have some cool new animation! Try it out at https://novasearch.xyz

update: turns out that I both have zero patience and the hard drive was actually completely dead which is why it wouldn’t boot. Upgraded it from a 5400rpm 500GB HDD to a 7200rpm 1TB HDD (I don’t have any SATA ssds) and it is now running High Sierra. It’s very slow obviously so I’m trying to either install Windows/Linux or downgrade it to macOS Sierra or El Capitan.

about to rip my hair out because I cannot for the life of me get my mid-2010 imac to install an OS it just crashes while installing 10.13.6 and then gets stuck on progress bar during boot
