Impossible. It doesn’t require any local infrastructure, so there’s no inherent lock-in like you see with utilities.

Utterly delusional CEO.

Awesome. Is there anything like this for Debian?

All very interesting thoughts, I went through basically that whole conflict myself the first time I decided to not finish a puzzle.

Here’s how I look at it: a puzzle is fundamentally a challenge to see if you can solve it. (Maybe people will disagree with me on that, but in my mind, that’s what it is.) So as soon as I have finished enough of it that I can say “Yep, I’ve solved it. Only trivial moves are left. Even a baby could finish this puzzle.” it no longer is a puzzle to me. I’ve proven that I can do it, and that is the satisfying part to me.

If someone else has a different goal for puzzles (eg. they want to view the unblemished art) then maybe that line of thinking doesn’t really follow. As with all games, you can decide how to play - do whatever brings you the most satisfaction.

That actually brings me to another point. There is immense social pressure in games to play the games the “right” way. However, there is no wrong way to enjoy your recreation time (as long as you are not harming someone of course). Rule books are a suggestion, not a fact of life. Heck, there are more house rules in Monopoly than there are real rules.

Anyway, sorry about the rant, your line of thought was very interesting to me, thank you for sharing!

Pretty much nothing. Any company with the resources of Google or Amazon could easily have their top 100 wake words trained into that model.

I like to build puzzles except for the last piece, just to prove to myself that finishing most tasks is a societal pressure, not an existential one.

Mind control yourself, done.

In Baldur’s Gate, some of the companions are into it.

As a specific example, the ESP32 chip does low power voice recognition for pre-trained trigger words. This lightweight recognition lacks the training to detect anything other than the list of trigger words that Espressif provides.

Basically only battery-operated devices work this way (for power consumption reasons). If you’re plugged in you’re probably always running the high quality listening loop.

The death of chain mail coincided with the deterioration of society. Fascinating…

I think it’s just the nodes unfortunately. The map is too handcrafted to randomize easily.
