Software Engineer by trade, scientist at heart, homeschooler of STEM. As a kid I learned assembly language so I could make my TRS-80 Space Invaders program run faster. Now I am one of the army of people that make the Internet happen. "If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner." -R. Buckminster Fuller

Literally on a zoom listening to silicon valley managers freak about their portfolios.

There's a lot of car buying, home improving, and kid college choices that are being called into question.

I always hated "pair programming" because frankly I prefer thinking and programming *alone*

But... my life changed today!

Today I came to love pair programming because I finally found a coding buddy who is helpful* and that I *like* and that doesn't notice or care that I'm taking pulls off this weed vape while listening to loud electronic music as we work

Remember the news that Juggalo facepaint confused #AI facial recognition?

As you might imagine, modeling via a 3D face map (akin to Apple's Face-ID) solves that problem.

Leveraging the design of #AlphaFold to take a linear sequence of sense impressions and transform it via #ML into a 3D world-map.

Absolutely brilliant and thought-provoking #AI talk from DeepMind's Dileep George at the Simons Institute.

Implications for how to think about hippocampal function, neural net architectures, and abstract representation in general. A worthy investment of your time and... attention

Yesterday I got the COVID booster, the seasonal flu shot, and Shingrix all at the same time.

The nurse said today would be a little rough. She was right. I feel like I have COVID, flu, and shingles, all at the same time.

I am very glad humans invented cannabis gummies, and that civilization in my geographic area was enlightened enough to make those legal for me to consume.
