I have made my blog theme pink. We shall see how that goes. Hmm, yes. Not much more to say here.
I finished rereading To Kill a Mockingbird yesterday. I found the novel quite entertaining. I have been learning about neural network pruning lately. Turns out you can remove the majority (majority!!) of the weights in a network and actually improve the accuracy. That is some weird stuff.
Deep learning feels like an empirical technology that has not been fully comprehended by the scientific community. I mean, yeah, they understand part by part how each operator comes together to make a computational graph, how loss functions are created, and how optimizers fine tune the loss function, but all higher function is God's doing. I am confident that no one on this earth fully understands how the 100+ million parameters in a GAN come together to turn a horse into a Zebra.
It feels as though the human race has been gifted the magical power of deep learning by some divine power. But our mind is incapable of understanding how its holistic function outweighs the sum of the constituent parts. It is cray cray.
I would talk more about this topic, but the demand for interesting content from my global audience compels me to stay away. The viewership of my posts has gone through the roof. 100% up. Last post I got two whole views. The post before that only one view. Ah yes, the ad revenue I am receiving from my viewers for this beautiful blog-content has kept my hands tied. I'm thinking of leaving school and pursuing blog-writing full time.
If I continue growing at an exponential pace like this, I'll have over 4 billion followers by the end of the month. I'll be an instant billionaire. I think the case is quite compelling.
I really wish for right a digital voice recorder right now. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Recorder-Activated-Lectures-Meetings-Dictaphone/dp/B07ZXQCBCF/. Maybe a fan will donate one to me.
I received an motorized toothbrush for my birthday. The gift was unexpected, and unwilling to discard my still-functional normal toothbrush, I decided to keep both toothbrushes. My dual usage of both toothbrush during daily routine (though not at the same time, for that would be silly) led me to make a profound realization. Though both instruments occupied the same functional niche in maintaining my dental hygiene, as well as the same location in my 3-drawer miniature file cabinet, I quickly realized that the two were so different in their approach to teeth-cleaning, each with their peculiar tradeoffs and quirks (which I shall not discuss in this post, but perhaps a later writing) that both could well satisfy my desire to maintain oral purity, or rather merely avoid the corruption of my gums and denticulations. Man, if I ever met Salman Rushdie, I bet I'd feel a compelling urge to slap him for his bombastic speech.
