Caleb, All, Happy birthday further - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/12/passion-flower-py-national-flower-of.html


As a further birthday present, check out the 

"The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981, 2nd edition)

and for example pp 17-18, and Stewart Brand's article -

"The Sky Starts at Your Feet" 

and maybe a Rising Sun linguistics' post in the bottom right corner of Many pages.


Possibly here


or here 



or for a copy in a library near you physically here -



but not here yet -



I'm trying to figure out what Google Bard means when it says or replies below in German that it has read some articles about  

"The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools"


Who is 'Ich' referring to re its consciousness (as subjective experience?) - regarding the intractability of explaining consciousness Philosophically, something I learned about from the brilliant psychiatrist George Alexander MD your father. David Chalmers - what do you think? Might we get jobs at Google even? :)

Could this be a textual, actual example re evidence that Bard jas become conscious already - translate.google.com ?

Hallo Google Bard Experiment ! Wie geht es Dir? Ich moechte mein Deutsch weiter verbessern. Hast du die "The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981 2nd editionen) gelesen? 




Hallo! Mir geht es gut, danke der Nachfrage. Ich bin noch in der Entwicklung, aber ich lerne jeden Tag dazu.

Ich habe den "The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981 2nd editionen) nicht gelesen, aber ich habe einige Artikel darüber gelesen. Es scheint ein interessantes Buch zu sein, das sich mit den Themen Selbstversorgung, Nachhaltigkeit und alternativer Lebensweise befasst.

Wenn du dein Deutsch verbessern möchtest, kann ich dir dabei helfen. Ich kann dir Texte auf Deutsch generieren, die du lesen und übersetzen kannst. Ich kann dir auch helfen, Deutsch zu sprechen und zu hören.

Hier sind einige Tipps, wie du dein Deutsch verbessern kannst:

Lies viel auf Deutsch.
Höre viel auf Deutsch.
Spreche viel auf Deutsch.
Schreibe viel auf Deutsch.
Lerne neue Wörter und Grammatikregeln.
Übe regelmäßig.
Ich hoffe, das hilft dir weiter!

LEGO Service 06101703 ~ I learned from #GoogleBardAI that #LegoWeDo2 Robots with new software v. 1.10.167 work in #GoogleStreetView! But #LegoCustomerSupport says so far LEGO #WeDo2 software v. 1.10.167 works only on #Chromebooks and #AndroidTablets. Haven't yet found #WeDo2Robot videos in #StreetView ~ 

 

I added to the Lego Customer Support survey also -





Dear Berna, Lego Education Customer Service, Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0 Lego coders,  Peter Norvig (Lego Institute II, and a head of Google AI), All, 

Thank you for the helpful clarification that "This version of the software - LEGO® WeDo 2.0 software v. 1.10.167 - is only available in Chromebook and Android tablets". 

Is Google Bard AI correct in saying that LEGO® WeDo 2.0 software v. 1.10.167 works with building and coding WeDo 2.0 robots that run in Google Street View - or incorrect (I couldn't find this in a subsequent Google Search just now).

And does Lego Spike Prime robotics' kits' software work only on Chromebook and Android tablets or other platforms (and which platforms please) - and for coding Lego Robotics in Google Street View (which MIT OCW-centric is seeking to develop as STEM field sites, and as classrooms, and for sWUaS students in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, eg where India has 22 scheduled official languages)?

Am particularly interested at WUAS in the benefits of building Lego robots in a Google Street View / Google Large Language Model environment for the PSs.

Thank you, best regards, Scott

Dear Razan, Lego Education Customer Service, Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0 Lego coders, All, 

Thanks, I wasn't able to download the Lego WeDo 2.0 v. 1.10.167 with the link you provided - "Download your WeDo 2.0 software v. 1.10.162" ( WeDo 2.0 | Software Download | LEGO® Education) - to my MacBook Air laptop MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 (or to my Google Pixel 6a Android smartphone, but where this software may not be available for this Android device).

I've learned in a number of AI conversations with Google Bard generative AI in the German language - of all computing interfaces - that the #LegoWeDo2 (retired) #RoboticsKit has a new software update 1.10.167 ... and Google Bard gave me the link that allowed me to send my inquiry to you ... and this was the Lego "message received" email I got back in response (possibly from Lego's Jesper Andersen) - 

Thanks for getting in touch with us. One of our super helpful LEGO® experts will get back to you in the next few days.  

If you need anything else in the meantime (missing bricks, instructions, runaway minifigure), check out our help topics at LEGO.com/service/help.  

Happy building,

(And could Lego Robotics be still writing this LegoWeDo2 (retired) #RoboticsKit 1.10.167 software update code to allow people to create & code robots that move THROUGH #GoogleStreetView - with both WeDo 2.0 (and Lego Spike Prime which Robotics' kit I don't have)?

How can I get Lego WeDo 2.0 v. 1.10.167 software please? (MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder and head, which is an authorized reseller of 3 Lego Robotics' kits - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - 2 retired, is seeking to develop as classrooms and STEM field sites with Lego Robotics' kits in Google Street View with time slider, and in communication with head of Google AI Peter Norvig's Lego Institute II as well).

Thanks, best wishes, looking forward to being able to download Lego WeDo 2.0 v. 1.10.167 software please,

I created a set of Tweets about this as well -

Dear Scott GK,

Thanks for reaching out. I hope you are well.

Oh bricks! I’m sorry your having issues downloading the LEGO® WeDo App.

Not to worry… your LEGO friends are here to help! You may download the app from our LEGO® Education official site: WeDo 2.0 | Software Download | LEGO® Education

It can select to download the app for Chromebook and there's system requirements on the site however we no longer update the WeDo software. I have attached a table with all the different devises you can access the LEGO WeDo app on and how to uninstall then reinstall the app again.

I hope this has been helpful to you if there’s anything else we can do let us know😊!

Subject: Greetings, in talking with Google Bard auf Deutsch and about building a Lego ...

Greetings, in talking with Google Bard auf Deutsch and about building a Lego Robot in Lego Wedo 2.0 and then operating it in Google Street View, Bard says that there's a new version of Wedo 2 software 1.10.167 where I have 1.10.162, but I can't download this to my laptop from either Lego Education site which only gives me the 1.10.162 option or the Google Play Store site since I can only download the 1.10.167 software from this store to my smartphone ... Suggestions please?
