What did you do this past week?
Two of my classes are beginning their semester-long group projects so I met with my groups for those. We’re also starting ML/Neural Networks in AI, so I’ve been playing around with the TensorFlow code for the upcoming project where we design a neural network to predict COVID-19 cases.
What’s in your way?
As of writing this, our proposal still hasn’t been approved for this class. We were notified pretty late that we would have to completely change our proposal (after some messages only suggesting minor changes) since it was too close to another proposal that wasn’t fleshed out when ours was originally posted. After posting our new proposal this afternoon, it still hasn’t been replied to and it’s getting close to the deadline.
What will you do next week?
Next week, we have to turn in the initial static website and related stuff, so I’ll be working on that. I also have to get my neural network for AI working right (stuck on the right way to shape the data for a recurrent network, it’s putting out some bad predictions)
What was your experience of types, object models, and iterators? (this question will vary, week to week)
Most of the stuff is pretty similar to the way things are organized on other languages like Java, but it’s nice to know the details behind how types, object modes, etc. work.
What made you happy this week?
It’s my dad’s birthday this week so I’m home for the weekend. My brother cooked some meat he’s been dry aging for the past month and it tasted amazing.
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
I recently got my AMD hackintosh working and setting everything up through the homebrew/cask package manager was super fast. I hate dealing with all the places that apps are usually hosted and then finding ways to update them all, glad to finally switch to a package manager instead.
