Okay, so this isn't about flowers, although I did just do some gardening and turned a sad looking area into an area of small beauty thanks to some hard-work and some considerate flower purchases - and yes, this was done in the week of 35+degrees of heat - but it'll be fine it's the UK, it'll rain next week and also I'm rigging up a rainfall driven automated watering system that will allow for trickle feeding the plants with water - with no technology, well, an Arduino might get in on the equation soon. The BLOOM that I am referring to, is in relation to A.I.  It's not your normal library of pre-trained models and it has stayed pretty hush-hush, considering it is the equivalent of a $5m system, available for FREE.

What's it all about then? https://towardsdatascience.com/bloom-is-the-most-important-ai-model-of-the-decade-97f0f861e29f ( I'll snippet some text from that article below, if you're t...

Although titled: "How to corrupt my intern robot", there is a LOT more information contained within this video than you would actually expect.  I would highly recommend a full watch, or zoom FWD to 11:39. Okay, so Misty the robot is pretty cool   CLICK HERE TO SEE / READ / VIEW MORE I think its great that they've made different ways to code the robot, from 100% beginner using BLOCKLY (a person fav. of mine for non-coders to get to understand coding) You also have the option to code using the Python SDK, Web APIs and C# SDK; which is pretty cool.  So, you can go from total novice through to expert coder, well, as expert as calling HTTP APIs or using Visual Studio is...no C-code level for the hardcore.... except, oh wow! https://docs.mistyrobotics.com/misty-ii/robot/misty-backpack-for-arduino/ They have a backpack module that is an Arduino, so you can extend and enhance the robot yourself...and use C (coz that's what Arduino is coded in), so it looks like they've c...
