Have you ever thought to yourself:

y'know, I want my own HOLLY (from Red Dwarf)

I have "skills".....

I'm a computer software developer.....

I have "stuff" on my laptop that I've installed / used a few times, but forgotten what it was for again....

.....and you have a spare 30-40 minutes?  (and $35)


Then look no further, welcome to the world of Unity, UMA2, SALSA, IBM Watson SDK and the IBM Watson Assistant API service!


I wrote an article that may be useful to follow if you want to do the above sort of thing on a rainy Saturday morning....

(and yes, I know the TTS is not that accurate, I didn't give it much/if any training, so I'm surprised it did as well as it did!)


Now, go forth and make your own DIGITAL HUMAN AVATAR.....

Weaviate Verba RAG with Node-Red & Ollama Engine

Been absent a while, have had many things to be focused on; however, this recent little nugget needed to be documented & shared, mainly because I did this on my personal laptop & I need to recreate it somewhere else and this mechanism just makes it easier - also, this might help someone else out too. Right, so what am I talking about? About a year ago I was doing some new stuff with LLMs and RAG (ingesting own documents as the data to use rather than the LLM training data) and it was okay-ish, it did the job.  Zoom forward a year and obviously things have moved on, quite a bit. The RAG tools & code have improved significantly, it still takes time to ingest though - haven't found a way to speed that part up, well, I'm focused on offline/airgapped/onpremise solutions, it could probably be faster if using a Cloud SaaS offering, but that is of no interest to me, so I'll accept the time it takes. What are the steps inolved? Get a bunch of documents, upload them to be...

Google Opal [experiment] - not in the UK yet

Well, this is a turn up for the books and something long overdue for the general public: find out more here: https://opal.withgoogle.com/landing/ Now, you could just go off and do some gold-rush effort and I highly encourage you to do so - THIS is a game-changer.  It really is. As this is "my universe", I'm just going to pull it back to me (yes, very narcissistic, I know, but I don't care).  Here are a couple of articles that I just want to call attention to: https://tonyisageek.blogspot.com/2020/02/a-week-off-worksort-ofproject-o.html https://tonyisageek.blogspot.com/2020/12/project-o-my-machine-programming-project.html The basic premise was to use NLP (natural language processing) where you, as a non-technical person, could describe what you want an application to be and do.  Then, through the power of automation it would generate a starter-for-10 application from templated code and deploy it onto a Cloud environment, so that you could then see it / touch it / run i...
