Author(s): Cosmo Q Originally published on Towards AI. Why your next assistant might run entirely on your own hardware. This past Thanksgiving, I set out to build a fully local voice assistant which should listen, think, act, and speak without relying on the cloud service. Why bother? Because today’s mainstream assistants are still tied to the cloud, limited by product rules, and hard to customize.

But sitting at intersections isn’t just a drag on drivers’ patience — unproductive vehicle idling could contribute as much as 15 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. land transportation. A large-scale modeling study led by MIT researchers reveals that eco-driving measures, which can involve dynamically adjusting vehicle speeds to reduce stopping and excessive […]
I watch a lot of nature documentaries. I’m not very choosy about the animals covered, whether whales, moles, lions, ants, chameleons, blowfish, or mosquitoes. I’m even fascinated by footage of bacteria under a microscope. I’m usually immersed as I sit in front of my large-screen television, so long as I learn something about the intricacies of the species filmed in vibrant colors.
