Man, I'm a sucker for history but this was *fascinating*.
It's shocking how far things fall in America from their apogee. This is close to Gary, Indiana which at one point was the world's biggest manufacturing hub, and now has literal trees growing out of the gorgeous old buildings.

SRWToolkit: An Open Source Wizard of Oz Toolkit to Create Social Robotic Avatars
We present SRWToolkit, an open-source Wizard of Oz toolkit designed to facilitate the rapid prototyping of social robotic avatars powered by local large language models (LLMs). Our web-based toolkit enables multimodal interaction through text input, button-activated speech, and wake-word command. The toolkit offers real-time configuration of avatar appearance, behavior, language, and voice via an intuitive control panel. In contrast to prior works that rely on cloud-based LLM services, SRWToolk…
