Machine Learning Shushes Stressed Dogs - This DIY Project May Succeed Where Other Remedies Have Failed

Clairette (the dog) has had a particularly difficult time adapting to her friends leaving every day, but thankfully her human (Nathaniel Felleke) was able to come up with a clever solution. He trained a TinyML neural net to detect when she barked and used and Arduino to play a sound byte to sooth her. The sound bytes in question are recordings of Nathaniel’s mom either praising or scolding the dog, and as you can see from the video below, they seem to work quite well.

While machine learning may sound like a bit of an extreme solution to curb your dog’s barking, it’s certainly innovative, and even appears to have been successful.

If there’s one demographic that has benefited from people being stuck at home during Covid lockdowns, it would be dogs. Having their humans around 24/7 meant more belly rubs, more table scrap…

La voiture à énergie positive - the energy-positive car

Tobias, dessinateur industriel de profession, a créé une voiture à énergie positive. Cet étrange véhicule bricolé avec des matériaux de récupération fonctionne avec des panneaux solaires. Des performances plus qu’honorables pour ce prototype qui peut rouler jusqu’à 70 km/heure pendant 6 heures. Kilomètres parcourus au total : 100.
Quand le véhicule imaginé par Tobias est à l’arrêt, garé chez ses amis, il se transforme en fournisseur d’électricité pour la maison grâce à une rallonge. Cela couvrirait les deux tiers des besoins en électricité du foyer.
Tobias, an industrial designer by profession, has created a positive energy car. This strange vehicle made with recycled materials works with solar panels. More than honorable performances for this prototype which can run up to 70 km / hour during 6 hours. Kilometers covered in total: 100.
When the vehicle imagined by Tobias is at a standstill, parked at his friends’ place, it turns into an electricity supplier for the house thanks to an extension cord. This would cover two thirds of the household’s electricity needs.

Is Elon Musk developing a Tesla Model Pi smartphone which includes satellite communication as well as solar charging?

Elon is disrupting one major industry after another. Anyone noticed how everything seems to be strategically interconnected - from EVs and solar being able to operate on Mars, SpaceX to connect between Earth and Mars, self-driving tech and phones that can connect to Starlink satellites, and more? What's also interesting is that true disruption has been possible, and he has been thinking outside the box, with no minor incremental improvements being his goal. From Tesla, to SpaceX, to Starlink, to Neuralink, and the Boring Company, he brought about some radical changes in the way we do things.

Nothing that he has done is at all brand new (electric cars have been around over 100 years), satellites have been around, as have rockets... it is more about making them actually work viably and economically (apart from maybe the Hyperloop). His sheer scope across industries too is broad, with most people content to tackle just one or two industries.

So if there is to be a phone launched, it certainly won't be an incremental improvement like Google and Apple produce. We can likely expect one or two radical differences... Even if it does bring satellite communication, that will be another expensive communications industry being disrupted.
