| 27-8 2:06:15 | DAZed | plus, just really the experience of building it out is the major thing. |
| 27-8 2:05:21 | DAZed | basically allows local processing of AI requests....saves $$$ |
| 27-8 2:05:13 | rvn2001 | That's way above my pay grade. |
| 27-8 2:04:46 | soccrdad30 | interesting Doug |
| 27-8 2:04:34 | DAZed | Large Language Model....essentially my own ChatGPT |
| 27-8 2:03:46 | DAZed | gnite Ellen |
| 27-8 2:03:42 | DAZed | I did take a short break to finish building my Home Assistant server and finally got that done late last night. |
| 27-8 2:03:42 | soccrdad30 | LLM? |
| 27-8 2:03:28 | soccrdad30 | nite Ellen |
| 27-8 2:03:06 | rvn2001 | Nite Ellen. |
| 27-8 2:02:56 | DAZed | yep, and I'm playing around with new technology for the first time in awhile and it is actually fun again. I'm building my own LLM at the moment |
| 27-8 2:02:47 | ejshelton | Think its time I head out....Nite all |
| 27-8 2:01:54 | soccrdad30 | well, you have time to explore your options |
| 27-8 2:01:47 | rvn2001 | I know exactly how you feel, Doug. |
| 27-8 1:59:06 | DAZed | I felt like I was let out of prison |
| 27-8 1:58:50 | DAZed | anyway, aside from the whole "earning of income" thing, I could not be happier. |
| 27-8 1:57:38 | DAZed | if it's not a project you can show to a fly-by-night board member, it doesn't count |
| 27-8 1:57:28 | soccrdad30 | I was 54 years old, it took me some time, but I did find a forever home and retired from there a few years ago. |
| 27-8 1:56:59 | DAZed | loyalty and appreciation for attention to details and going above and beyond and doing the things to keep things going operationally are no longer of interest it seems |
| 27-8 1:56:19 | soccrdad30 | I was with a company for 5 years and they let me go. They hired their daughters boyfriend who just graduated with his IT diploma to replace me... Found out later he did not last that long |
| 27-8 1:55:07 | DAZed | but it's a different world now. |
| 27-8 1:54:22 | DAZed | I did!! I was there for 24 years. |
| 27-8 1:53:50 | soccrdad30 | Doug, you did alot for that company |
| 27-8 1:53:05 | ejshelton | That is Crap!!! |
| 27-8 1:50:18 | DAZed |
yes, crap is right.  |
| 27-8 1:49:38 | soccrdad30 | crap, you did lose your job?! |
| 27-8 1:49:36 | DAZed | I was let go from my job on the 14th |
| 27-8 1:49:18 | DAZed | I am not working anywhere at the moment. |
| 27-8 1:48:02 | soccrdad30 | Doug, you still working in IT? is this a side gig? |
| 27-8 1:46:31 | rvn2001 | I'd send you the 2 N scale Class A climaxes I'm working on for you to run, but they're not DCCd. |
| 27-8 1:44:28 | soccrdad30 | wow, fancy |
| 27-8 1:44:07 | DAZed | he wants to setup cameras and some other stuff too |
| 27-8 1:43:17 | DAZed | well, and turn them on too |
| 27-8 1:43:15 | rvn2001 | Don't make it too smart... |
| 27-8 1:43:08 | DAZed | Setup Google Home and smart plugs to shutoff lighting and DCC |
| 27-8 1:42:39 | DAZed | today I made the layout "smart". |
| 27-8 1:41:42 | DAZed | ha, not yet. I'm still temp to perm. |
| 27-8 1:39:54 | soccrdad30 | Doug, do you have a name tag too?! |
| 27-8 1:38:47 | rvn2001 | That's an excellent profession, Doug! |
| 27-8 1:38:45 | DAZed | working on my friend's N layout |
| 27-8 1:37:59 | DAZed | well, right now I'm working as a professional model railroader until something different comes along. (there would never be something better) |
| 27-8 1:37:25 | soccrdad30 | I think |
| 27-8 1:37:19 | soccrdad30 | not the metal brush, but the gritty foam kind |
| 27-8 1:36:38 | soccrdad30 | yeah, 32.00 |
| 27-8 1:36:02 | rvn2001 | He will. |
| 27-8 1:35:50 | rvn2001 | He had the wheel cleaners at a good price, then? |
| 27-8 1:35:42 | soccrdad30 | but, I thought he refunds the difference... |
| 27-8 1:35:15 | soccrdad30 | a 57 dollar order and 20 dollars shipping |
| 27-8 1:34:38 | soccrdad30 | I was messaging with Frank earlier asking about the wheel cleaners and he said he still had a few in stock |
