"Metal Beds" - S

Well, off to my job interview.

It's taken me 9 years to come around, but most changes between Python 2 and 3 are very minor and easy to remember.

Machine learning :: it's not just for CompSci PhDs and startups anymore!

Can I learn to machine learn? Let's find out.

# Bad news
The tensorflow documentation requires some supplementing if you are not already familiar with machine learning and how it works and what it is and stuff.

# Good news
It's all python. It's just python. You can do it.

"Hungry for Apples?"

I don't think it's a bad tagline, actually.

Maybe that's why I don't work in advertising.

I'm looking at mapillary as an alternative. It actually has downloadable, user-contributed creative commons licensed photographs on a street-level.

Google gets countless users to give them "Photo sphere" pictures for free, but then effectively asserts ownership of these photos by categorizing them as part of its Street View collection, on which Google retains a copyright stranglehold.

People give Google great photos for nothing, & Google gives nothing back, forbidding all use of any kind anywhere under any condition of it's Street View photos. If you're thinking of building some fun project with Street View photos, legal danger.

Finally watched the first episode of Mr. Robot. For the record, Tor exit relay operators don't have any privileged position that would allow them to de-anonymize hidden services.

If you wish there were some stream on Twitch where you could dip in and out to watch old public domain/cc cartoons any time day or night, just a reminder that this exists and I'm proud of it.

It feels really good that I finished writing a script for a TV show pilot last night. Today, I've been thinking up a title and adding stuff to a show bible.

Scarcity is a mindset. Abundance is a mindset. Freaking out over how broke you are is a sure way to stay broke in the long term. Meditating on the scarcity you're living, as necessary as it may seem, is no way to escape from poverty.

The actual conditions of our lives can be described so many ways

Take time to think about how talented you are, how valuable of a person you are. Switch focus to what you have going for you. Others will reciprocate when you give from your own vast inner resources.

Listen carefully.

My numerous enemies would have you believe I'm living a miserable existence, in isolation and shame.

The opposite is true.

I'm so blessed to be surrounded by people who love me, and I am proud of my many accomplishments.

"Why can't we ask any questions?"

"If you are out of high school, and you have already had your first professional experience (wherever it was), question-asking is no longer a success strategy for you. Instead, you must acquire information in a way that will allow people to respect you."

NEW GAME

You have 60 seconds to discover as much as you can from another person about what they've heard about you and your life decisions; then try to supplant each of those impressions with your version of events.

And you can't ask any questions.

Go.

If you are my friend/family in the extra-computer IRL world, and you read my Masto, you can still follow me on Masto and I won't be offended. It's ok
