@M1sf3t I literally just came across it for the first time tonight. Went through the tutorial and everything lol. Don't know why I was never enticed by the category before, even just in passing.. thanks!

@Ranchu you'll be happy to see this "news" article from last week then!
https://technologynetworks.com/neur...

My current ambition is to build a human level AI, capable of running a dialog-driven game world like how skyrim is. It started with NLP, some 2d/ 3d models of human cognition/emotional propensities from back at varsity, and is now heading to LSTMs for the conscious "temporal" cognition part of things. At the moment the only real headway I've made though is a cognition interface to vectorise words and produce reductions of text that retains core information for later cognition. Its based off a word2vec model but it still needs to be programmed. Ive shifted sights to a different project for now, a multi-vehicle CVRPTW solver in scala (another passion project, ever since my previous job in VRPs)! I thought doing three things at once might keep me sane.. lol. Anywho, I've got the next few months off, so I'm keen to see what I can do when I set my mind to something with the goal of persevering to the very end.

@Ranchu what if, now bare with me on this, what if... you get your entire head tattoo in a maze/spiral of electrocoductive subdermal ink along with a subdermal implant to send a ping when it receives enough input from your brain waves. An app can sit on your mobile phone/network device could listen for that ping and respond accordingly. Course, the maze/spiral might have to resemble nodes like in an eeg machine, and in order to interface with the nodes you'd need something that attaches to your external skin like a pcb bus.... effectively making you a cyborg... dunno if that's the intended direction but it would allow for the use of more Terminator jokes/Arnie impersonations..

@BobbyTables dude that is an amazing idea!! Add a laser sensor to that scope to approximate the distance, lock-on to most appropriate vital organ - given the (deers) orientation - maybe a little spinning wheel fan attached to a motor to gauge wind speed.. it would be cool to have the display overlay appear in the scope.. could maybe repurpose a smartwatch lcd, broken/old dslr for the cmos sensor.. the overlay can give hints like up,down,left,right,fire.. focal lens from a mobile phone vr kit.. I'm just realizing, I should probably we working harder on my own problems 🙈. This is more brainstorming than I've done in weeks

@kescherRant thanks!

Damn, that bloody well sucks.. What did they say when you brought up the fact that you brought it up with your manager repeatedly, to no effect, and that you've been crumbling in your current team? Sorry you're dealing with this nonsense.

Can't seem to find it now

@kescherRant is there a way to access collabs from the app? I found a devRant url and followed it but I have a feeling there is a better way. Thanks!

@kescherRant ah, awesome. How do i access it? I couldn't find any chats. Or do I just start a rant and tag it?

Edit: collab has two "L"s 🙈 lol mb

I made a noise ive never heard before when I read "silica gel valley"

As far as rants go, you have my upvote! I could barely follow it, but the passion!

Straight ftp? That's brave/stupid

You got my smile with Yolo driven development. Me in a nutshell

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

@Seph you have obtained my lol, sir

Andrew Ng's course on coursera is worth the penny. Also DEFINITELY check out Andrej Karpathy's "a hacker's guide to neural networks" its on his blog

Edit: as mentioned wrt python, look at the numba library instead of numpy.. it offers easy-to-access advancements in the way of parallelism. Even on AMD GPUs. It makes use of ROCm, so you don't have to. Parallelising your code can be as simple as adding a function decorator

If Sublime would kill the dangling python instance when I close the build inspector, that would be... well... sublime.

Edit: don't bash. I'm also a fellow sublimista!

I honestly wouldn't recommend a webserver built on javascript. The added abstraction of the jvm alone is bound to make things slower. If anything, I'd look in the opposite direction. Maybe there is a configurable, or already configured OS that would serve well as a webserver. If you have the resources.. Nginx runs pretty ubiquitously on most operating systems.. And afaik it's really stable when properly configured, but it can be a pain to get right. Is anything tripping you up in particular? I remember struggling with forwarding non-www requests on the subdomain, to the SSL subdomain. Last I checked, I'm still struggling lol

Edit: or PaaS/SaaS as an option!

@12bitfloat imma be checking out Rust, thanks!

@sweetnothings I can't seem to figure out how to dm you. Are you on discord perhaps?

@sweetnothings would you be interested in keeping in touch and/or collaborating in this space?

@sweetnothings thanks. You're right, at the very least I should be treating it as a learning opportunity. I'm rather excited to do the k-means clustering/dimensionality reduction part of things. Are you interested in a similar space?

@heyheni thanks! I love wintergatan Wednesdays. Have you seen the one where he goes to the domtoren clock tower?

Thanks for the link! Very useful info.. Internalised vs externalised goals.. I suppose one doesn't need jira to subdivide a task and cross shit off a list, lol

This was hilarious. I dont envy you tho
