  • They say parenting comes with no guidebook, and that’s true…but OTOH, maybe common sense isn’t so common either.

    I’m not here to judge anyone: I have two ASD kids and am ASD myself. That shit is hard.

    One of the good things I did as a parent is enrolled my kids in a year of Montessori based pre-school. They teach the kids to clean, cook, use keys, use locks, look at people when talking, put beads on a string, brush teeth and hair, make cups of tea, use scissors etc. I know Montessori is seen as a sort of hippy-dippy thing but my experience has been the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong, I still had to take my eldest to Speech Pathology but they (the school) laid a good foundation.

    One thing to mention that might help you: ASD kids have whack bodily perception. They literally have to be taught that “feeling full bladder” = “need to go pee”. It seems insane but they just don’t…notice it, until too late. The don’t understand the body sensation.

    Lot’s weird little body quirks like this.

    Anyway, good luck to you. I always think to myself “be kind; everyone one is fucked up one way or another”


  • Yeah. I had ChatGPT (more than once) take the code given, cut it in half, scramble it and then claim “see? I did it! Code works now”.

    When you point out what it did, by pasting its own code back in, it will say “oh, why did you do that? There’s a mistake in your code at XYZ”. No…there’s a mistake in your code, buddy.

    When you paste in what you want it to add, it “fixes” XYZ … and …surprise surprise… It’s either your OG code or more breaks.

    The only one ive seen that doesn’t do this is (or does it a lot less) is Claude.

    I think Lumo for the most part is really just Mistral, Nemotron and Openhands in a trench coat. ICBW.

    I think Lumo’s value proposition is around data retention and privacy, not SOTA llm tech.


  • Ah; as I recall, it’s because they polled users and there was an overwhelming “yes please”, based on Proton’s privacy stance.

    Given proton is hosted in EU, they’re likely quite serious about GDPR and zero data retention.

    Lumo is interesting. Architecturally I mean, as a LLM enjoyer. I played around with it a bit, and stole a few ideas from them when I jury rigged my system. Having said that, you could get a ton more with $10 on OpenRouter. Hell, the free models on there are better than lumo and you can choose to only use privacy respecting providers.



  • Additionally, in windows (linux too?) one could use Moonlight / Sunshine to compute on the GPU and stream to secondary device (either directly, like say to a Chromecast, or via the iGPU to their monitor). Latency is quite small in most circumstances, and allows for some interesting tricks (eg: server GPUs allow you to split GPU into multiple “mini-gpus” - essentially, with the right card, you could host two+ entirely different, concurrent instances of GTA V on one machine, via one physical GPU).

    A bit hacky, but it works.

    Source: I bought a Tesla P4 for $100 and stuck it in a 1L case.

    GPU goes brrr
