Lmao, re-running an neural network training thing I did a month ago and it's no longer able to train a working model. Not even sure what changed 🤷

#python tips for folks getting started.

Don't use the system-level python as that can update and break dependencies. E.g. Arch uses 3.13 if you update and Tensorflow can't go above 3.12.

Use pyenv to do version management per project. https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

Don't install pip dependencies globally. Use virtualenv to set up dependencies per project. https://virtualenv.pypa.io/

Python versioning is rough out of the box and these tips can save you some pain.

@lucid00.com There's still pockets of folks working on standards outside of the NFT/Corpo co-opting of the idea. https://omigroup.org/

Lots of neat stuff happening in the Godot and Blender space for example.

The appeal of machine learning to me is how clean the actual structure of models can be once you split it up in the right layers.

A lot of "application" code is a tangled web of dependencies and small independent or coupled bits of state that you need to coordinate in bizarre ways to account for the difficulty of state management in distributed systems.

ML on the other hand needs maths knowledge but the blocks fit together in a nice clean linear way of input to output.

@Alice I love seeing a good spreadsheet NGL.

Looks like the emails used to register for fediforum have either been leaked or scraped or something because I've been getting spam on the one I created just for the event. 😿

Hard to find time to become transhuman while I gotta do my tasks. Luckily humans on average have a decent lifespan to get stuff done in.

@tinker Kinda like how mRNA vaccines can be used to get the body to attack arbitrary cells by provoking the immune system

Being a mortal is kinda frustrating at time.

A/B testing with zero user consent or disclosure is messed up. It's gross how tech people treat users like fodder with little care for their agency.

Code refactor? I hardy know her!
