I'm new to this platform, so we will figure this part out soon enough.

I know that I need to find a better selfie, one that shows me with full braids, but these will have to do for now. Believe it or not, my hair used to be much, much, longer. How much? Well, that would be telling. Maybe something to discuss some other time.

Fingers crossed mainstream media reports on this.
Here is an example of a message that was obtained by the hacker. There are Signal group chats too. This is the risk of archiving systems: they're no longer end-to-end encrypted. It introduces massive new risk www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Compass and straight edge, anyone? Working on a framework for doing ALL 465 proofs out of Euclid with pure code, while avoiding using trig or conditional logic. Just added hexagon and decagon. I still want to do a proof-generating AI that is transformer-based, all in due time.

Writing a game-engine or CAD tools can be a worthwhile adventure. Ever tried to draw a pentagon without using trig functions? Everything can be done as if with a compass and straightedge. This works since the cosine of 36 degrees = (1+sqrt(5)/4. Other polygons to follow: 10, 12, 60.

Since Deep-Seek is a "Mixture of Experts" based AI, why not just build from scratch, with "experts" about "braids", "solving mazes", or even the chat-bot Elliza? First, we add parallelism to Eliza, while adding functions like "bind_keysets", etc., then neuronal integration ...

I saw an article on Hackaday about how someone wrote a genetic algorithm for the Atari 800XL that uses a neural network to approximate a mathematical function. Thus, I am adapting it to C++, so it can evolve multiple models concurrently. The results look quite promising!

Been doing more coding with my braid drawing code, while thinking about how to integrate Deep Seek or another AI into the application, so as to create a hair expert; or a braids expert. So why not ask Deep Seek about what it thinks of my code so far? At least it is polite.

The good news is that I am still so totally happy with my "Teapot in the Garden" hair rendering routines at this point, that I don't feel so bad about how crappy my braiding code is, at least for now, but it is coming along nicely. Not quite ready for TensorFlow but working on it.

So, finally here is a screenshot of the preliminary vector model that will be used to help implement the control functions needed for accurate rendering of twisted or braided hair. This will also be used with the shader that I wrote last year for kinky and curly hair.

I know that I need to get back to my previous work on Digital DNA and the whole theory of braiding. Stay Tuned. Of course, I have been letting myself get distracted by the Deep Seek meme - yet somehow, I have a feeling that this is all going to come together somehow.

There are two wolves inside of you. If the first acquires lock A and the second acquires lock B, and then the first attempts to acquire lock B while the first attempts to acquire lock A, they will deadlock. Teach your wolves concurrency.

I converted the Python files for Deep Seek to C++ and got "convert.cpp" to compile in VS 2022, by using a dummy implementation of a "torch.h" header file to fill in some prototypes, for now! Not linking yet, but it sure would be nice to be able to build custom AI models from scratch!

Doing stuff with Deep Seek, like converting some of the Python source to C++ by hand, and also trying a third-party Phyton to C++ conversion tool, just to see if it actually works. Maybe I can drop a Deep Seek engine into my Rubidium framework? This could take awhile...

In other news: I started a new project on Hackaday - entitled "Deep Sneak: for lack of a better name", where I am looking into the prospects of running the Deep Seek algorithm on a Windows PC, or perhaps a Raspberry Pi, or maybe even a Pi cluster. Just to see what it can do.

Although my B.S. is in Engineering Physics, I also have a certification in Construction and Architecture Technology from another college. So, why not write a game engine from scratch, with an environment, not based on some meta-space but on actual objects, or models thereof?

Hey @pimoroni.com, any chance you could make a card like this (maybe with thru hole headers) for the Presto for people like me who don't need a microsd card but could use the 6 pins as an expansion header?
I have a project for a customer that the presto would be perfect for but it needs 3-4 gpios!

This is the only way to enjoy real oranges, whether for juice or otherwise. I don’t understand how anyone tolerates simulated food.

Polymorphism in C++ can be used in various ways, as when a base class contains a collection of objects, while also describing the relations among them. Thus, a derived class might provide more information about "structure" and "behavior". Of course, we also want reflection ...

Turning audio into sheet music can be quite a bit of fun, with or without the help of AI. Yet there is also the pleasure of training an LLM on Yang-Mills theory (among other things) and then trying to get it interested in sex, or at least achieving the million-dollar payday.

Got an invite to attend an online "virtual job fair/interview" hosted by Hacker X, but was told that I have to pay $52.75 to attend - what? A JOB INTERVIEW? I don't think so. Did not receive a "promo code", nor was I offered a "free option".
