How do I get your smarts! I want to understand this stuff desperately.

These are very fine ways of explaining simple things in an ego-boosting manner. The more you work with ML these days the more you appreciate it. It happens with every new technology bubble.

In regular terms he's saying the outputs aren't coming out in the same dimensions that the next stages cn work with properly. It wants values between -1 and +1 and it isn't guaranteeing it. Then he's saying you can make it quicker to process by putting the data into a more compact structure for the next stage.

The discriminator could be improved. i.e we could capture better input

KL Diversion is not an accurate tool for manipulating the data, and we have better.

ML is a huge pot of turning regular computer science and maths into intelligible papers. If you'd like assurance, look up something like MinMax functions and Sigmoids. You've likely worked with these since you progressed from HelloWorld.cpp but wouldn't care to shout about them in public

I don't get the amount of effort people out into the replacement-strategy, I did perfectly fine without it and the code is about as complex as the examples I've seen.

Ahh, people are trying to do a replacement before finding tokens. I wondered why so many people were saying this was difficult. My head went straight to token parsing, which given the limited set of tokens made it trivial. Thought I was missing something

TIL of ≹, which "articulates a relationship where neither of the two compared entities is greater or lesser than the other, yet they aren't necessarily equal either. This nuanced distinction is essential in areas where there are different ways to compare entities that aren't strictly numerical." (https://www.mathematics-monster.com/symbols/Neither-Greater-...)

brynbryn · 2 years ago

That article is misinterpreting the meaning of the symbol. It isn't useful in mathematics because it is a contradiction in terms: if "neither of the two compared entities is greater or lesser than the other" then they are equal.

The author of the original article uses it correctly - think about it more in regards to importance for their example.

The business is no more or less important than the developer, but they are NOT equal.

It doesn't have to mean importance though, just the method by which you are comparing things.

Come to think of it, it should be called the 'No better than' operator.

The original title on this (which was there when I started this post) was infuriating - but it is still bad. Is it speaking to the 'true' co-founder who is above the technical one? Maybe the other co-founder who is an 'idea innovator' could up-skill a little and stop pretending that you can build a business by putting on a power suit and making presentations with upturned hands and studied pauses?

Here's my anti Apple Rant.

I got an email the other day, that despite me paying my 100$ a year fee, my hobbyist game would be removed unless I update it.

This is after the pure hell of getting my developer account working and getting the app approved in the first place. The email didn't say it's not running properly on iPhones anymore. Just I need to waste my time updating this app.

I immediately canceled my developer subscription. Google is starting to crack down on hobbyist projects as well.

Whatever, Unity Web builds are fast enough on mobile browsers.

I'll upload the game to itch.io, if anyone wants to play it, they can do it there.

Apple doesn't bother to support standardized tech like Vulkan, and generally makes like difficult.

As far as my hobbyist projects go I'm moving away from proprietary software, and moving towards open source GitHub projects. I code outside of work for fun. Once I need to jump though 800 hoops to get my project to end users I lose motivation.

You have to rebuild for the latest SDK version; sounds like you have some deprecated code that won't be supported. Stop playing the victim - Apple won't allow apps that won't run to be on the store.

Whoa Peer to Peer connections with strangers is scary stuff that almost no one would volunteer for. I get the bandwidth reasons to do it but everyone should know this is peer to peer before connecting and know the risks of being hacked/stalked as they expose their IP to strangers. I would put a huge disclaimer about it, which I didn't see on your site.

brynbryn · 2 years ago

It's WebRTC. It's all over the web and well implemented. What are you exact concerns? IP isn't GPS

That was really fun! would be cool to freeze frame on the blink before disconnect. I couldn't shake the feeling I was just looking at videos until a girl with a nose ring seemed to echo my attempts at not smiling

Very well done, and I hope you build this out further, but please leave out the 'as a 17 yo'. I really don't think it's relevant and risks coming across as cloying - your work should (and does) stand on it's own.

I disagree about the age. It provides context, and provides inspiration to others. I think he has done a fantastic thing and we don't need to be negative for the sake of being negative
