There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Reading with text to speech. I have a script I wrote with the open weights Silero a couple of years ago. There are better now, but it helps with big blocks of text.
Qwen coder models are better than stack exchange for code snippets. They are also good at OCR, formatting structured data, and such.
I like messing around with alignment as a puzzle game using the vocabulary and a bunch of scripts.
Qwen can do basic FreeCAD macros. It is also good at lisp with emacs as one would expect given the history of lisp.
I have a setup for chatting in various modes like friend, mentor, philosophy, and lewd. I have a conversational diffusion setup where the dialog is in the images. I also have a setup that started as a writing partner but ended up as my science fiction universe. It does not write much ahead of me. It is like sentence completion and writes in my voice. I use segmentation stuff with images. I can use it to break up objects in image layers far better than I can brute force in gimp. I've only run open weights models on my own hardware.
