Started watching Fallout last night and, so far, am impressed. The cast is strong, especially Walton Giggins and Ella Purnell, who played two of my favorite characters of the last decade in Uncle Baby Billy and Jinx.

OK, not everything was perfect the first time around, and I am guessing things aren't perfect now, either, but it's good enough. Still working on things like backfed interactions using Brid.gy and fiddling with webmentions, but I'll figure it out later.

In the background, I've got my M4 Mac Mini training a microWakeWord model with 50 samples of me saying "Hey Demerzel" along with 50,000 TTS generated samples. Not super confident about this part, but its worth a try. I've gotta say, the M4 is impressively powerful, even at its lowest spec.

Progress on my OpenClaw HA Voice PE device! First pass used a proxy to pass the speech-to-text output into `openclaw agent` on the CLI, await a response, and then send it back to HA, which would use TTS to speak a response. Working on updating the proxy to use WebSocket for streaming responses.
