#introductions hi, i'm connor.

i'm interested in #programming, #machinelearning #ai, #hacking, #reversing, learning and playing with math. i enjoy writing #cpp, #python, and #lua.

sometimes i hack #zelda games for the #n64, but more generally i follow wherever my interests take me. i tend to avoid big projects because of that. i ramble a lot about whatever i'm working on or learning about.

i've helped my sister raise a dozen pet #rats! i also love #tea, #cats, #anime, and #music.

sis sent me a pic of one of her rats fallen asleep in the hood of the hoodie she was wearing 😊

i wonder if there's any high gain guitar tones that people have either have never heard or try to avoid, ultimately because no one influential has ever used them. maybe not, but it's interesting to consider

oh i forgot to check my laptop this morning. guess I'll do it tonight

the bomb push in ganon's castle collapse to go OoB is pretty sick

wow jax primitives seem like a real PITA to write

wait a sec i might've taken a screenshot of a paragraph or two on my laptop, i'll have to check when i wake up

oh no what happened here

dangit i've been keeping this in the back of my mind but i still haven't been able to recall anything that would help me find it again

personally if i watched two in one day i'd probably be in emotional turmoil

honestly i am slightly disturbed that so many people would spend all of this time watching movies but different strokes i guess

i think this chair has run its course

maybe there's some interplay with the noise injection seen previously in the paper

ok, now this is weird. an evolved algorithm decides to use the *mean* of a network's weights as its learning rate.

lol wtf is tensorflow_dataset doing when it loads a new dataset? i'm just gonna use my own library instead, it's much faster :V

i don't remember any details that would give me search terms to find it again, it's about as blurry as a dream for me. and sadly the nap i just had didn't improve my memory at all.

i wanted to re-read a paper that made quite an argument for L2 regularization (besides the usual Lipschitz stuff) but i can't find it

mom was talking about a family-friend who was trying to get their kids in highschool some extra schooling during quarantine, besides just homework, but like, damn, let the kids have this time to themselves. i know projecting, but i think the few months i had off during highschool were some of the most important months of my life; just having that time to sort out my thoughts without having to associate it all with school.

pet peeve: game startup videos that don't poll window events properly

getting mad at software is pretty high up there too though

i probably get more mad at myself than i could ever get mad at other people…
