@fruitfcker 🤔 you think? I mean…I can see where it gets its opinions though.

@cafecortado I think that pic is def a hot!

@daniel-wu I mean, if you look at the stiffness in her smile, I can see where she lost points with this one. I bet if you try one where it’s a genuine smile it will come out hot.

@joewilliams007 I am on it. I will not stand for this.

@phat-lasagna Like the Oingo Boingo art style?!

@phat-lasagna ah, I see. I’m still on season 2. There are SO many episodes. I think I’m almost to the end of this season. Still trying to get Dio. I guess that’s always gonna be the case.

@phat-lasagna On Jojo? Is that the one where they’re in the submarine? I was like OMG! You are LITERALLY in Egypt! Swim!!!!

@phat-lasagna Dude, that stand FREAKED ME OUT!!!! No wonder Joseph was yelling so much that episode.

@phat-lasagna NO JOKE! It gets RAUNCHY! But it cracks me up. I mean, my son is old enough. I don’t censor much. But my daughter gets REALLY uncomfortable at times when we watch. Honestly, few of the Miyazaki films are truly kids’ films.

I go around yelling “Oh my GOD!” With a Japanese accent like Joseph Joestar. He’s my fave!

@phat-lasagna That’s awesome! I would too, except my kid has us watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure every night for now. Enjoy Howl!! Tell him I said hi! Hug Sophie for me! Give Heen a kiss! Oh, and Calcifer. The whole gang! Omg, I might need to watch too.

@phat-lasagna Do not settle for less! If they don’t like Hayao, they best be out the door! And when you have kids, raise them on Miyazaki. They are better humans that way. I have proof. 💜💜💜

@phat-lasagna now I’m thinking I might need something from Howl’s! I cannot imagine picking ONE still frame though.

@phat-lasagna

@phat-lasagna They’ve all changed me. Howl’s is a major fave though. Mononoke is my boo. I gotta show you the painting of the Forest spirit I commissioned by a Japanese artist friend of mine! Will post.

@CoreFusionX Agreed! That’s awesome. We need more good eye candy.

@CoreFusionX Ah, ok, that makes total sense that you would feel bored. Have you done much with Houdini? It’s getting big and quite lucrative. Or is that totally a different graphics tangent? I can see how data visualization could go A LONG WAY if more 3D animation were involved. And I don’t mean that TensorFlow type stuff. I mean, dynamic!

@phat-lasagna No, not at all actually. It was only because I was paid too. I’m a Miyazaki kid!

@CoreFusionX You’re so speaking my language. Love it!! I love when suddenly features jump out and starting screaming at you to look at them because their importance cannot be missed. I’m having that currently as FINALLY things are coming together with my data. Amazing accuracy given the situation, and really great plots resulting. It’s like a gift from the heavens when that happens. I look forward to working more with text. It’s so daunting but so insanely interesting. It’s honestly the direction I wanna go in. There’s so much there.

Have you seen the show “Invasion” on AppleTv? There’s a Japanese ML chick trying to decipher the “alien sounds”, and they honestly did an OK job not making it silly and annoying. I’m considering playing around with some SETI data now, after seeing that. Inspired to find language where there “is none”.

@phat-lasagna lol! Right! But I ended up winning!! And I got me an accuracy rate of over 95% currently. So I’m a happy snowman! (Sorry, Frozen reference. My previous career was opera singer / teaching little kids to sing Disney songs.)

@Earu That’s so exciting!!! Congrats!! I wanna hear all about it. Hit me up on discord if you ever wanna. I would
Love to nerd out! (✨ EvanMarie ✨#6114)

@phat-lasagna OH! Wait! Did I answer the question you actually were asking? Or did you mean something else? WHOOPS! Have had my head buried for hours this morning.

@phat-lasagna Well, so I worked around the issue, but I’m not satisfied with things “working” unless I know why they didn’t work before. It was an intuitive thing that I came up with in my sleep that fixed it. But it was a tensors not matching up shape-The issue arose when I wrote a function to test 4 different loss functions at 10 different learning rates for 500 epochs, so 40 times going through 500 epochs, right? Well, EVERY time, it would stop somewhere in the middle to end of the second loss function and give a runtime error. But it was never the same place. So I ended up adapting the function to take one loss function and try all the different learning rates. And I ran the functions individually, and everything is fine. But I don’t understand why. And it makes me a little cray. Now my issue is with finding out my accuracy, not just my loss. PyTorch is only 1 week old for me, so I’m struggling. But I do like it. I just wanna be good at it.

@CoreFusionX Data viz is one of my favorite things to do. I can go on and on and never sleep most of the time. But PyTorch is giving me so many issues that I cannot get to the fun data cuz part of the process. 😭

Would love to know more about your work day to day. It’s what I want to do. I’m rather obsessed with data science.

@phat-lasagna well, that’s good to know! Right now, it’s not so enjoyable.

@IntrusionCM thanks!!!

@CoreFusionX Another reason C++ is probs my next. Thanks for the info!

@IntrusionCM Hehe! Thanks! I’m persevering! Got my accuracy up to 95%! Woot!!!

@Daibushi Awesome! Ok, I’ve only done this a bit in pubs in ESO. So I have no idea what I’m doing…

But I’m the tiny dragon in the corner with something mysterious in her claws.

I’m ready. Let’s start a hobby group! What’ll it be?

@phat-lasagna Right?! It won’t be easy, but it WILL be worth it! SO FLUFFY!!!
