IT Notes : Buzz, AI transcription tool

Image
Download Buzz  https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz/releases It is based on Whisper, a general-purpose speech recognition model.  After installation, the deafult Model is Tiny. You may download more models at the [Help] ->  [Presference ] [Model] setting.. A larger model may get a better result but results a slower response. To optimise speed and accuracy, it is suggested to use "Small" model for initial test. Just upload a recording in mp3 format, e.g. recording in a meeting. the AI model transcribes spoken words into text with high accuracy. When the job is completed, click the file name and a dialog box appears showing the result of transcription. If the result is satisfied, the result may be exported (txt, srt, vtt) file format to be further analysis by generative AI. One of the usage of AI transcription tool is to generate meeting minutes. Various generative AI tools such as ChatGpt, chat.qwen.ai and Google Gemini. the result is promising.

It Notes : Create a road trip plan using generative AI

Prompt 1: Create a 21-day UK road trip itinerary starting and ending in Bristol. The route should follow this sequence: Bristol → Cardiff → Abbey Dore → Hereford → Worcester → Birmingham → Liverpool → Manchester → Lake District → Oxford → Bath → Bristol. For each destination: - Add green markers for Points of Interest (POIs), such as landmarks, museums, parks, and scenic spots. - Include daily travel segments with approximate driving distances in kilometers. - Save the route as both KML and GPX formats for use in Google Earth and GPS devices. - Generate a web map using OpenStreetMap (OSM) with the route clearly marked and POIs displayed using green markers. - Export the web map as an HTML file that can be opened locally in a browser. Ensure the route is optimized for scenic and cultural exploration, and avoid unnecessary backtracking. View road trip itinerary and map

環保筆記 : 如何使用 PromptZero 減少 AI 生成回答碳排放

隨著大型語言模型(如 ChatGPT)廣泛應用,AI 回應的計算資源和能源消耗越來越高,造成顯著的碳足跡。據研究,一次 ChatGPT-4 查詢的耗電量約為一次普通 Google 搜尋的十倍,且生成冗長詳盡回應會進一步加重能源負擔。面對這一挑戰,Earth Public Information Collaborative (EPIC) 推出了 PromptZero ,一種能降低 AI 生成回答碳排放的簡易提示技術。 使用者到PromptZero 網站,複製「低排放模式」指示,並貼入 AI 工具的提示欄,要求AI 回答時 以最簡潔且有效的方式呈現,避免冗長開頭、重複或寒暄詞語。 採用條列式、短句或精簡語言,僅提供必要資訊。 再回答結尾會顯示本次互動節省的二氧化碳排放量。 用下列的提示輸入幾個不同的AI系統進行測試 As a specialist in Air Quality Monitoring, you are going to write a log post less tha 1000 words, explaining  what is  HJ 212-2017, its primary purpose and scope, particularly in the context of pollutant data transmission. What are the key differences in communication protocols between HJ 212-2017 and international standards ?Finally, does HJ 212-2017 apply directly to air quality monitoring systems, or is it more relevant to other types of environmental monitoring such as water or industrial emissions?

IT Notes : Creation of bootable USB using Ventoy

Image
 Create a Bootable USB Drive Using Ventoy is easy. Here is the procedure for Windows version: Download the Ventoy software from official site ( https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html ) Extract the downloaded Ventoy archive. Run Ventoy2Disk.exe as Administrator. Select your USB drive from the list and click install. Make sure the correct drive is selected as  Ventoy will format the drive and install its bootloader. After installation, simply copy your bootable ISO files (e.g., ubuntu-22.04.iso, windows10.iso, etc) directly to the USB drive. Boot from the USB Drive Plug the USB into the target machine. Boot and enter the boot menu (usually by pressing F12, Esc, F10, or Del during startup). Select the Ventoy entry (not the USB by its name). You’ll see a list of ISO files on the USB. Select the one you want to boot and press Enter.
