Brian, thanks so much for all you (and the rest of the village) do! Enjoy your time off and don’t poke around here - I think we will survive for a few days 😀

Oooof the Carbon Footprint required for this. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive ...
I'm missing what's impressive.

Type into a search engine "convert words to hexidecimal". Pick website, type in the words. Done.

AI helped me understand what this was.


The hexadecimal code
48 61 70 70 79 20 48 6f 6c 69 64 61 79 73 20 74 6f 20 41 49 20 42 72 69 61 6e translates to "Happy Holidays to AI Brian," using standard ASCII/UTF-8 character encoding where each pair of hex digits (like 48, 61) represents one letter or space.

But that's not what was done. The AI was asked to analyze an image, determined it to be a string of letters, determined the string to be hexadecimal characters, and translated the results accordingly.

I'm aware of OCR, but the impressive part (to me, anyway) is the connection of the image content to a hex-encoded string. After that its plain.

Thanks Brian for checking in and being in Michigan, we both know it was 53 today and balmy while last week - I was xc skiing in 12 degree temps. And the AWD Mach E had no issue with the ice/snow. But I loved seeing my range go way up today!
