I was watching a livestream the other day and kept seeing those delivery robots crying when protestors were blocking them, it was kinda funny. a lot were covered in graffiti too!

Update: my Stroomtrooper print worked pretty well, even with a power cut in the middle of the print!

It's kind of dangerous we're allowing this kind of bullshit. I feel like he's just trying to see how far he can go before Kiwis push back.

I also don't understand how this guy is basically running the country at this point!

I'm about to set up the Memory server to work in conjunction with the Obsidian vault/knowledge base just to see how that works out too!

I've not really been paying attention to it, but I haven't been putting more than $50NZD a month into it either and I haven't been running into any limits.

Just the past weekend, I used MCP with Claude Desktop and setup the Fileserver so that I could populate Obsidian to use as a LocalRAG too :)

Nah, they've already cost cut the torpedos and have gone back to using the Brennan Torpedo which was basically mechanical, steered using a cable and fired from shore and it was pretty crap. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brennan...

Which reminds me a lot of this current gov tbh.

I utilise Claude via API. I tried Cursor IDE... but prefer vscode soooo I simply changed the API keys in Cline (vscode extension).

Imagine my surprise when I installed qwen2/Deepseek on my PC, and realised I could change the settings for Cline to use my local setup!

Claude still wins IMO

$11 NZD for that?! How many pages of actual content does it have? I wonder if you get any different info from it vs the internets 🤨

( ͡° ᴥ ͡°) either smart, or so dumb that we can't compute

I just wish they were smarter than that and brought back something akin to Ministry of Works, so they can basically pay themselves for the work, and reinvest it all into their workers. Then things like the Dunedin Hospital wouldn't be such a nightmare.

Nah. Let's spend $30B on a road instead.

haha - I read that as doctors and their private enterprises owning our roads. I think I need another coffee...

how much are they claiming to still spend on these roads again?

what hasn't this government destroyed? it's like they're going for a high score in fuckery!
