Made a local AI pipeline that yells at drivers peeing on my house

Last week I built a local pipeline where a state machine + LLM watches my security cam and yells at Amazon drivers peeing on my house.

State machine is the magic: it flips the system from passive (just watching) to active (video/audio ingest + ~1s TTS out) only when a trigger hits. Keeps things deterministic and way more reliable than letting the LLM run solo.

LLM handles the fuzzy stuff (vision + reasoning) while the state machine handles control flow. Together it’s solid. Could just as easily be swapped to spot trespassing, log deliveries, or recognize gestures.

TL;DR: gave my camera a brain and a mouth + a state machines to keep it focused. Repo in comments to see how it’s wired up.

Feature Engineering with LLM Embeddings: Enhancing Scikit-learn Models

Large language model embeddings, or LLM embeddings, are a powerful approach to capturing semantically rich information in text and utilizing it to leverage other machine learning models — like those trained using Scikit-learn — in tasks that require deep contextual understanding of text, such as intent recognition or sentiment analysis.
