@stefano I presume your blogpost described L'Aquila area. I visited L'Aquila twice; first, in 1996, as a co-author of someone on the maths faculty of the University. They still had very old DEC machines, connected to the internet by modem lines, and I was asked to help to install GAP (https://gap-system.org) on one of them. The campus had a basic coffee bar where one could drink an espresso looking at Gran Sasso, and I stayed at an old convent (which, I was told, hasn't survived the quake).
The second time it was in 2015, with my spouse asked to visit a CS research institute there, so we went there with our 3y.o.; in a mountain village nearby he saw snow for the 1st time in his life. -

@stefano Beautiful text. Inspiring are those figures from the past. Bosses like him, putting humans above everything else, are now nowhere to be found. Or I am just pessimistic. Thanks to the scribe who backed-up the memories from this era.

@stefano /* I don’t think we got *that* old, but the volume of changes around us since the last few years made us probably fast-forward at an unexpected pace. At least, that’s what I am in, waking up in different world without having noticed the calendar switching the pages. I guess other generations might have felt the same, and at this point also found nostalgia to be a way to anchor to something. Yes, while I am too young to be the so called “boomer” we throw at people, I’m probably the one coward looking at the past to cherish things we knew for sure, instead of looking at the uncertainty of future. No wonder I like operating systems from the 60s 70s… */

This child has a plastic bag over her head and mouth, and her mom just yells at her about dry cleaning and sends her off to keep playing with the bag. It was a different time.

AI Assistant Uses ESP32
Having an AI assistant is all the rage these days, but AI assistants usually don’t know about your automation setups and may have difficulty dealing with tasks asynchronously. Enter zclaw. It gives you the option to have a personal assistant on an ESP32 backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter. The whole thing fits in 888KB, and while it doesn’t host the LLM, it does add key capabilities to monitor and control devices connected to the ESP32.
You communicate with the assistant via telegram. You can say things like “Remember the garage sensor is on GPIO 4.” Then later you might say: “In 20 minutes, check the garage sensor and if it is high, set GPIO 5 low.” It has an RTOS for scheduling tasks and is aware of the timezone and common periods. Memory persists across reboots, and you can pick different personas.
Some of the use cases mentioned in the manual show how having something that can precisely schedule, control, or monitor devices might pay off. Ideas like bringing up a lab setup, scheduling plant watering, and more would be difficult to do with just a stock chatbot.
The AI can also introspect. For example, you could create a few tasks on a schedule and then ask the device to “show me my schedules.” You can also create up to 8 tools with a name, description, and action. This lets you describe something like “power_down_bench” and then tell zclaw to execute it on demand or even on a schedule. Overall, an interesting and well-documented setup.
We’ve seen many projects like this, and each has its own charm. And its own personality.
