Thanks! I'm a nerd, for sure.

I've built an SDR radio stack to integrate with a single pane navigation and chart plotting app I'm building for my new company. You use the radio to talk to the local agent (I just finished a submission to the Gemma Challenge on HF to learn how to train models). Wake words show up on the glass, for security. Been working on training a small model to do agentic controls, including changing autopilot and switching displays when you want to see other content on the screen. I've been working on isochrone routing and have it working well now. Waiting for Fabel to come back to continue the work...

Everything is here: https://deepbluedynamics.com. It's just me as an LLC. No VC. No backers. No users, yet. Few stars, but 100% written by me, and most of it is open source. FWIW, I've been around the block and I'm getting old now. So the radio helps with arthritic fingers! :) The radio stack stuff lives here: https://nuts.services/sdrrand

I'm also integrating the voice stuff into Hyperia, my terminal emulator forked from Hyper Terminal. It's on Github. Hyperia is also agentic controlled, so I can talk to it by pane name to inject text into the prompts. This lets me get up and roam while I'm roaming around. I'm remodeling my front house, and for a while I had one of those smart lights turning red or blue when things happened in the sessions, but I want something I can talk to without having to click and type. I use the Windows transcription feature a lot, but talking on the radio to it is much easier.

Oh and to answer your question about random numbers, I use them for various Monte Carlo based approaches. For example, I inject those numbers into training runs, rolls for the iChing (helpful for feeding agents for decision busting), and seeding other things like simulated wind speeds and current (in the sim beause I'm not sitting on a boat). I even use it for sampling documents I've been indexing (cut up a bunch of business books and have a local model use them for reference).

I have the SDRrand sources wired into almost everything now that needs randomness. Is it necessary? Maybe. We only get pseudo random numbers from computers, so I just attached to the purity of it, if anything.
