Today was a slightly busier day of working on high school stuff but I also worked on outlining where one of my projects currently is.</p> <p>The following few days are a bit more packed with school but should be fun right after as I'll have more time for programming :)</p> Ethan Zerad Mon, 04 Sep 2023 19:57:44 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-75th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-40mi https://dev.to/ethan_/the-75th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-40mi <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was about working some more on the testing interface I made for an application of mine to easily test the latency.</p> <p>Tomorrow's gonna be about exploring hosting a bit more :)</p> Ethan Zerad Sun, 03 Sep 2023 20:20:07 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-74th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-390 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-74th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-390 <p>Hey everyone! Today was a day of making my implementations timeable to allow for easy automated testing coupled with the generation of automatic visualizations and insights.</p> <p>I'm also almost done working on a testing interface that will be hosted to eliminate the network factor when testing latency.</p> <p>Excited about the testing phase and hoping to put out something soon!</p> Ethan Zerad Sat, 02 Sep 2023 19:05:45 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-73rd-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-401m https://dev.to/ethan_/the-73rd-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-401m <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of running tests and faciliating the process of testing. These tests are just one of the pre-steps to amazing tools to come :)</p> <p>Happy coding!</p> Ethan Zerad Fri, 01 Sep 2023 20:56:11 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-72nd-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-26c6 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-72nd-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-26c6 <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of exploring further solutions to optimize LLM response times and optimizing overall latency for AI-powered phone calls. Making some great progress along with intelligent people I'm happy to be working with!</p> <p>Happy coding :)</p> Ethan Zerad Tue, 29 Aug 2023 19:35:52 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-71th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-38m0 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-71th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-38m0 <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of outlining some more of the steps for a personal project and exploring the topic of using LLM's with your own data. Made some interesting findings that I'm excited to apply, happy coding everyone!</p> Ethan Zerad Mon, 28 Aug 2023 19:53:25 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-70th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-237l https://dev.to/ethan_/the-70th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-237l <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of exploring using cloned voices with 11labs. Touched up on web scraping a bit for a little project, and tomorrow's all for the personal assistant project!</p> <p>Happy coding everyone :)</p> Ethan Zerad Sun, 27 Aug 2023 21:05:17 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-69th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-g65 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-69th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-g65 <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of exploring latency within my personal assistant project! There's not much to say, I better provide results than write about it :)</p> <p>When there's results, then writing about it is worth it!</p> <p>I'll keep you (or myself) updated!</p> <p>Happy coding everyone!</p> Ethan Zerad Sat, 26 Aug 2023 21:22:14 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-68th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-5e3l https://dev.to/ethan_/the-68th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-5e3l <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was another day of my working on my personal assistant project and it was great! Got to explore working with LLM's more and super optimistic about the way it'll turn out.</p> <p>Happy coding everyone!</p> Ethan Zerad Fri, 25 Aug 2023 22:36:59 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-67th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-dhh https://dev.to/ethan_/the-67th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-dhh <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of exploring the telephony solutions just a tiny bit more and working on a more seamless and fool-proof user experience when making LLM-powered calls.</p> <p>Progress is coming in!</p> Ethan Zerad Thu, 24 Aug 2023 21:17:09 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-66th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-cj0 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-66th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-cj0 <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Today was a day of exploring the different telephony solutions a bit more as well as fixing and optimizing some things for the first version of the real-time transcription app I worked on before. Not much to say, looking forward to working with the telephony findings tomorrow!</p> Ethan Zerad Wed, 23 Aug 2023 20:35:50 +0000 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-65th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-5ag8 https://dev.to/ethan_/the-65th-day-of-the-100-days-of-code-challenge-5ag8 <p>Hey everyone, the days are flying by!</p> <p>Today, I focused some more on the DTMF thing, and it seems like it won't be possible with Twilio. The most annoying thing is their encoding, I followed the exact steps as another function in the application which sends audio to an ongoing Twilio call but still couldn't get it to sound right. Testing some options and exploring what the best telephony solution for this personal assistant project is.</p> <p>I'm considering Vonage and Twilio, the one that works best while also handling this efficiently will be the one I'll use. After this, I'm sure that the project will be running in terms of progress!</p> <p>Happy coding everyone :)</p>
