Infineon WIFI/Bluetooth) and a related dev tool chain alternative to the

Message-ID: <b7b6bcb0-dfe2-4731-a81b-7c01d44d7db9@soper.us>

Sorry about that. Some stuff came up and  I won't be ready until next 
month. But I'll make it a presentation with slides and downloads instead 
of show and tell. The TL;DR is that the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is an 
inexpensive ARM/RISC V dual core MPU with excellent tool chain support 
and optional WIFI/BT "co-processor".

Subject: [TriEmbed] Feynman lectures text -> speech
Message-ID: <d2c3327b-ee61-466a-931c-814450218c88@soper.us>

At last night's meeting I mentioned a YouTube channel of physicist Richard Feynman's lectures "as if" spoken by him. The first few have a synthetic voice that is lame, but this improves and most capture his Long Island dialect.

https://m.youtube.com/@ImaginethePhysics

The lectures are aimed at lay people and IMO are fabulous for explaining some basic stuff. My favorite is titled "We were wrong" and conveys the mind boggling aspect of the two slit experiment. (https://youtu.be/UoZkEgbCBS8?si=rLffTYs5sf2A1ijd)

Subject: [TriEmbed] Project: Chat-GPT for (old?) people who don't know how to
 use apps/websites
Message-ID: 
 <CAHyJRTE4NXAGUbkC4AsVN-dCMBqofyE6Ch+Emi=YYBwGZOUx6w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello from the North!

Apologies for disappearing.  I got a job doing GenAI for a game company in
MI and then got laid off last October (+ baby number three was born in
April).

In any case... I built a phone agent that you can talk to.  The tech
details are in the slides below in case anyone is interested.

Tech Details:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XbUBzUj6iNT75ESzzx8oUWtvGpqXFKiq/view?usp=drive_link

The main application I am pitching right now is "ChatGPT for old/non-tech
people".

It's a phone number that anyone can call to talk to a reasonably good AI in
(mostly) real time for stuff like "how do I fix my smart tv" to "is this
fraud" and "what's the weather like today".  Starts a free 30 day trial for
anyone who calls it, then cuts off unless they subscribe ($10/month).  I've
also integrated agent memory so it's pretty good at remembering stuff from
previous conversations.  Being able to schedule daily "Are you OK/Did you
take your medicine calls" is also on the TODO list.  Overall, does that
sound like a reasonable pitch/good idea?

I would love feedback, if anyone wants to try it: 681 300-0238.  I've
worked pretty hard on noise filtering and pacing, but it's still not
perfect.

Thanks (and I hope this finds you well),
Charlie

P.S.
I'm also playing around with spacecraft trajectory planning using the TUDAT
library, if anyone else has been fiddling in that area.

While we're on "please don't"s -- please don't reply to an existing 
message when starting a new thread.  Folks with threaded mail-readers 
might not see your message, or could be confused to see it as a child of 
an apparently unrelated message.

Respond to whom directly?

As I said before, subject line says it.  Please respond to brendan at ableforce.net

So sorry, working too quickly, just responded to Pete's last message in my inbox
without remembering how the threading works. 

The name that was CC'd but was invisible was 'brendan at ableforce.net'

Mea culpa- take care all.
