Did some tidying up, water blasting, and making the place look nicer as it’s looking like there’s a good chance we are moving house soon.
I also got Home Assistant OS all set up, and even managed to get a voice assistant set up (sort of). I can talk to it but it doesn’t understand me. Raspberry Pi’s are a bit low powered, so the local voice to text is pretty slow, if I speak for say 5 seconds, it takes 20 seconds or more to come back to me with a response. And the response is always that it doesn’t understand me because the built-in commands are basically just to turn stuff on and off and I don’t have anything I want to turn on or off.
It just seems way more about defining themselves via negatives than we saw each time the Key govt was incoming (or even the Bolger government, to really dredge up the past…) Compare this with stuff like Bill English’s obsession with social investment.
Yes, I think you’re right. Key was tax cuts and the fibre internet infrasturcture, probably some more I can’t remember. But this government is hard on the us and them rhetoric, promising to undo lots of stuff because they are fighting back against the other side.
But when it comes to policy-making, I think there’s a level at which it’s your ethical responsibility to actually assimilate all the facts and look at international best practice and long term outcomes instead of just going by what you think “feels like” the truth.
If you look at COVID deniers, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, flat earth believers, and so on, these people believe they have looked at all the facts and believe others are ignoring the evidence that they see. I am honestly not sure what the solution is here, but it probably starts with a better funded and structured education system. However, I have heard the worst part of being a teacher isn’t the naughty kids or the politics or the curriculum but the parents. If the parents don’t want their kids to learn then they vote for people who promise to ban things from being taught (e.g. NZ First), and then we end up with more parents voting to ban things from being taught. And even if they aren’t banned, then there will be parents yelling at the teachers for teaching it.
My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open (feddit.it)
