Jeremy and Jenny.. Trust issues... Yess send post ur so based me good job

[vonlipvig]

i think this is the first time i noticed this, but in the silence when jeremy is interviewing jzuss, jzuss goes to like fistbump jeremy and jeremy totally leaves him hanging 💀 he was in full cunt mode during that broadcast and i love him for it

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

im bored and overheating. jeremy donaldson headcanons BLAST 🫵 (tw poor family dynamics and suicidal themes)

Jeremy was born to an upper-class father and a lower-mid-class mother, and is the eldest of the two Donaldson children. His sister is younger than him by about five or so years

While he had a pretty good relationship with his mother, he couldn’t say the same about his father. In fact, he hated him. He was cruel to just about everyone in the home- his mother especially- and Jeremy was never opposed to butting heads with him

When his father wasn’t being an asshole, he was out on business. As a result, Jeremy would often take charge around the house. This is where he first began cooking- something he is deceptively talented at nowadays

This upbringing was also the first catalyst that got Jeremy into journalism… He couldn’t stand how his father could get away with practically anything at home, and then waltz out in public with an innocent smile and have everyone lick his feet. Even in his younger years he developed a strong moral compass, and an unwavering sense of integrity.

The average person would assume Jeremy’s doing quite well off, being the head anchor of the National Nightly News. He certainly isn’t aching for a pay raise, but he’s solidly middle class. Most of his suits are deceptively affordable, and he saves a lot of money on ties by buying the ugliest ones he can find (he prefers them like that, anyways).

The only part of his taste he considers ‘expensive’ is his food taste. He’s not buying or making gourmet meals, mind you, but he’s quite particular about the things he eats, and accounts for higher quality ingredients in his budget.

(Honestly he probably spends more money making those god damned sandwiches than he does on the majority of the other things he buys himself)

He’s aroace but has no clue what that is, so he doesn’t know that. Every time Jenny tells him about another one of her terrible dates he feels an inexplicable wave of relief how little he cares about getting into the dating scene. He keeps saying he’ll get around to it eventually but he’s lying to himself.

Jeremy- perhaps obviously, considering the events of the Heatwave- doesn’t really have a good grasp on his mental health, or how to properly maintain it, or anything like that. After any of the better endings, he’ll occasionally crack a really terrible joke about the situation because that’s the only way he can express vulnerability. His friends don’t like it when he does this.

(“Are you sure you’re ready to go back on the news again…? I just don’t want a repeat of last time”, “You’re asking if I’m going to shoot myself in the head again? If you get me another interview with Geoff Algebra, I’d probably consider it.”, “☹️☹️☹️👎👎👎👎”)

Jeremy gave Jenny a key to his place once, “Just in case the next [date] does turn out to be a murderer”. It was a joke at the time but considering her awful luck a part of him is legitimately concerned about it.

He hates coffee, but made a habit out of drinking it for work, and just hasn’t stopped since. He prefers tea though. He’s partial to a London fog, himself.

yeah in segment 3 of the 20 week war, geoff says he's married to someone called norm, which is a masculine name. he was previously married to angela, implying he's bi/pan/some variation thereof

It seems we should at least notice duplication though, so I stopped worrying about it.

It may turn out that byte code is in itself a good idea, and from that point all you have is an idea, you have a taste for interesting ideas: whether you find known boring ideas intolerable. But if this is cause or effect, this spirit pervaded early universities. Programmers don't use launch-fast-and-chug undergrads, who are too naive to be intimidated by the idea. In addition to the direct cost in time, would try to sell them to gullible retail investors; they hoped to sell through it. No startup asks for more. Don't hire people to do tedious work.

7 Actions to Comprehending Deep Learning

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning, employing numerous comparable, yet distinct, deep neural network architectures to resolve different problems in natural language processing, computer vision, and bioinformatics, among other fields. Deep learning has actually experienced a remarkable recent research revival, and has been shown to provide cutting-edge results in many applications. Are you interest in learning "Deep Learning" you can enrol best Coursera deep learning courses for more information. In essence, deep learning is the application of neural networks with more than a single covert layer of nerve cells. This is, nevertheless, a very simplistic view of deep learning, and not one that is all agreed upon. These "deep" architectures likewise differ rather substantially, with various executions being optimized for different tasks or goals. The vast research study being produced at such a continuous rate is revealing brand-new and ingenious deep learning models at an ever-increasing rate. Currently a white hot research subject, deep learning seems to be impacting all areas of machine learning and, by extension, data science. An examine current documents in the relevant arXiv classifications makes it easy to see that a big amount of what is being released is deep learning-related. Offered the outstanding results being produced, numerous scientists, specialists, and laypeople alike are questioning if deep learning is the edge of "real" artificial intelligence. This collection of reading materials and tutorials aims to offer a course for a deep neural networks newcomer to get some understanding of this huge and complex subject. Though I do not assume any real understanding of neural networks or deep learning, I will assume your familiarity with general machine learning theory and practice to some degree. To get rid of any deficiency you might have in the basic areas of machine learning theory or practice you can seek advice from the recent KDnuggets post 7 Steps to Learning Machine Learning With Python. Because we will likewise see examples implemented in Python, some familiarity with the language will be useful. Initial and evaluation resources are likewise offered in the formerly discussed post. This post will utilize freely-available products from around the web in a cohesive order to first gain some understanding of deep neural networks at a theoretical level, and after that move on to some practical implementations. As such, credit for the products referenced lie solely with the developers, who will be kept in mind along with the resources. If you see that somebody has not been correctly credited for their work, please alert me to the oversight so that I may swiftly rectify it. A stark and sincere disclaimer: deep learning is a complex and quickly-evolving field of both breadth and depth (pun unexpected?), and as such this post does not declare to be an all-inclusive handbook to ending up being a deep learning specialist; such a transformation would take higher time, many additional resources, and great deals of practice building and testing models. I do, however, think that utilizing the resources herein might help get you started on simply such a path.

Action 1: Presenting Deep Learning

If you are reading this and intrigued in the topic, then you are probably already knowledgeable about what deep neural networks are, if even at a fundamental level. Neural networks have a storied history, but we won't be entering that. We do, nevertheless, desire a typical high level of understanding to start with. First, have a look at the great introductory videos from DeepLearning.tv. At the time of this writing there are 14 videos; enjoy them all if you like, however definitely watch the first 5, covering the essentials of neural webs and some of the more common architectures. Next, read over the NIPS 2015 Deep Learning Tutorial by Geoff Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and Yann LeCun for an introduction at a somewhat lower level. To round out our first step, read the very first chapter of Neural Networks and Deep Learning, the fantastic, evolving online book by Michael Nielsen, which goes a step even more however still keeps things fairly light.

Action 2: Getting Technical

Deep neural webs depend on a mathematical structure of algebra and calculus. While this post will not produce any theoretical mathematicians, getting some understanding of the essentials prior to carrying on would be handy. Initially, see Andrew Ng's linear algebra review videos. While not absolutely required, for those discovering they want something deeper on this topic, consult the Linear Algebra Review and Recommendation from Ng's Stanford course, composed by Zico Kolter and Chuong Do. Then look at this Introduction to the Derivative of a Function video by Professor Leonard. The video is concise, the examples are clear, and it provides some understanding of what is really going on during backpropagation from a mathematical standpoint. More on that soon. Next have a fast read over the Wikipedia entry for the Sigmoid function, a bounded differentiable function frequently used by specific nerve cells in a neural network. Lastly, take a break from the maths and read this Deep Learning Tutorial by Google research scientist Quoc Le.

Action 3: Backpropagation and Gradient Descent

A fundamental part of neural networks, consisting of contemporary deep architectures, is the backwards propagation of errors through a network in order to upgrade the weights utilized by nerve cells closer to the input. This is, rather bluntly, from where neural networks derive their "power," for lack of better term. Backpropagation for brief (or perhaps "backprop"), is coupled with an optimization approach which acts to reduce the weights that are subsequently dispersed (via backpropagation), in order to lessen the loss function. A common optimization approach in deep neural networks is gradient descent. First, read these initial notes on gradient descent by Marc Toussaint of the University of Stuttgart. Next, have a look at this step by action example of backpropagation in action written by Matt Mazur. Carrying on, check out Jeremy Kun's useful article on coding backpropagation in Python. Having a look over the complete code is also recommended, as is attempting to replicate it yourself.

Some Innocent Fun With HTML Video and Progress

The idea came while watching a mandatory training video on bullying in the workplace. I can just hear High School Geoff LOL-ing about a wimp like me have to watch that thing.

But here we are.

The video UI was actually lovely, but it was the progress bar that really caught my attention – or rather the [progress].value. It was a simple gradient going from green to blue that grew as the video continued playing.

If only I had this advice in high school…

I already know it’s possible to create the same sort gradient on the <progress> element. Pankaj Parashar demonstrated that in a CSS-Tricks post back in 2016.

I really wanted to mock up something similar but haven’t played around with video all that much. I’m also no expert in JavaScript. But how hard can that actually be? I mean, all I want to do is get know how far we are in the video and use that to update the progress value. Right?

My inner bully made so much fun of me that I decided to give it a shot. It’s not the most complicated thing in the world, but I had some fun with it and wanted to share how I set it up in this demo.

The markup

HTML5 all the way, baby!

<figure> <video id="video" src="http://html5videoformatconverter.com/data/images/happyfit2.mp4"></video> <figcaption> <button id="play" aria-label="Play" role="button">►</button> <progress id="progress" max="100" value="0">Progress</progress> </figcaotion> </figure>

The key line is this:

<progress id="progress" max="100" value="0">Progress</progress>

The max attribute tells us we’re working with 100 as the highest value while the value attribute is starting us out at zero. That makes sense since it allows us to think of the video’s progress in terms of a percentage, where 0% is the start and 100% is the end, and where our initial starting point is 0%.

Styling

I’m definitely not going to get deep into the process of styling the <progress> element in CSS. The Pankaj post I linked up earlier already does a phenomenal job of that. The CSS we need to paint a gradient on the progress value looks like this:

/* Fallback stuff */ progress[value] { appearance: none; /* Needed for Safari */ border: none; /* Needed for Firefox */ color: #e52e71; /* Fallback to a solid color */ } /* WebKit styles */ progress[value]::-webkit-progress-value { background-image: linear-gradient( to right, #ff8a00, #e52e71 ); transition: width 1s linear; } /* Firefox styles */ progress[value]::-moz-progress-bar { background-image: -moz-linear-gradient( to right, #ff8a00, #e52e71 ); }

The trick is to pay attention to the various nuances that make it cross-browser compatible. Both WebKit and Mozilla browsers have their own particular ways of handling progress elements. That makes the styling a little verbose but, hey, what can you do?

Getting the progress value from a video

I knew there would be some math involved if I wanted to get the current time of the video and display it as a value expressed as a percentage. And if you thought that being a nerd in high school gained me mathematical superpowers, well, sorry to disappoint.

I had to write down an outline of what I thought needed to happen:

Get the current time of the video. We have to know where the video is at if we want to display it as the progress value.

Get the video duration. Knowing the video’s length will help express the current time as a percent.

Calculate the progress value. Again, we’re working in percents. My dusty algebra textbook tells me the formula is part / whole = % / 100. In the context of the video, we can re-write that as currentTime / duration = progress value.

That gives us all the marching orders we need to get started. In fact, we can start creating variables for the elements we need to select and figure out which properties we need to work with to fill in the equation.

// Variables const progress = document.getElementById( "progress" ); // Properties // progress.value = The calculated progress value as a percent of 100 // video.currentTime = The current time of the video in seconds // video.duration = The length of the video in seconds

Not bad, not bad. Now we need to calculate the progress value by plugging those things into our equation.

function progressLoop() { setInterval(function () { document.getElementById("progress").value = Math.round( (video.currentTime / video.duration) * 100 ); }); }

I’ll admit: I forgot that the equation would result to decimal values. That’s where Math.round() comes into play to update those to the nearest whole integer.

That actually gets the gradient progress bar to animate as the video plays!

I thought I could call this a win and walk away happy. Buuuut, there were a couple of things bugging me. Plus, I was getting errors in the console. No bueno.

Showing the current time

Not a big deal, but certainly a nice-to-have. We can chuck a timer next to the progress bar and count seconds as we go. We already have the data to do it, so all we need is the markup and to hook it up.

Let’s add a wrap the time in a <label> since the <progress> element can have one.

<figure> <video controls id="video" src="http://html5videoformatconverter.com/data/images/happyfit2.mp4"></video> <figcaption> <label id="timer" for="progress" role="timer"></label> <progress id="progress" max="100" value="0">Progress</progress> </figcaotion> </figure>

Now we can hook it up. We’ll assign it a variable and use innerHTML to print the current value inside the label.

const progress = document.getElementById("progress"); const timer = document.getElementById( "timer" ); function progressLoop() { setInterval(function () { progress.value = Math.round((video.currentTime / video.duration) * 100); timer.innerHTML = Math.round(video.currentTime) + " seconds"; }); } progressLoop();

Hey, that works!

CodePen Embed Fallback

Extra credit would involve converting the timer to display in HH:MM:SS format.

Adding a play button

The fact there there were two UIs going on at the same time sure bugged me. the <video> element has a controls attribute that, when used, shows the video controls, like play, progress, skip, volume, and such. Let’s leave that out.

But that means we need — at the very minimum — to provide a way to start and stop the video. Let’s button that up.

First, add it to the HTML:

<figure> <video id="video" src="http://html5videoformatconverter.com/data/images/happyfit2.mp4"></video> <figcaption> <label id="timer" for="progress" role="timer"></label> <button id="play" aria-label="Play" role="button">►</button> <progress id="progress" max="100" value="0">Progress</progress> </figcaotion> </figure>

Then, hook it up with a function that toggles the video between play and pause on click.

button = document.getElementById( "play" ); function playPause() { if ( video.paused ) { video.play(); button.innerHTML = "❙❙"; } else { video.pause(); button.innerHTML = "►"; } } button.addEventListener( "click", playPause ); video.addEventListener("play", progressLoop);

Hey, it’s still working!

CodePen Embed Fallback

I know it seems weird to take out the rich set of controls that HTML5 offers right out of the box. I probably wouldn’t do that on a real project, but we’re just playing around here.

Cleaning up my ugly spaghetti code

I really want to thank my buddy Neal Fennimore. He took time to look at this with me and offer advice that not only makes the code more legible, but does a much, much better job defining states…

// States const PAUSED = 'paused'; const PLAYING = 'playing'; // Initial state let state = PAUSED;

…doing a proper check for the state before triggering the progress function while listening for the play, pause and click events…

// Animation loop function progressLoop() { if(state === PLAYING) { progress.value = Math.round( ( video.currentTime / video.duration ) * 100 ); timer.innerHTML = Math.round( video.currentTime ) + ' seconds'; requestAnimationFrame(progressLoop); } } video.addEventListener('play', onPlay); video.addEventListener('pause', onPause); button.addEventListener('click', onClick);

…and even making the animation more performant by replacing setInterval with requestAnimationFrame as you can see highlighted in that same snippet.

Here it is in all its glory!

<figure> <video id="video" src="http://html5videoformatconverter.com/data/images/happyfit2.mp4"></video> <figcaption> <label id="timer" for="progress" role="timer"></label> <button id="play" aria-label="Play" role="button">►</button> <progress id="progress" max="100" value="0">Progress</progress> </figcaotion> </figure>

Then, hook it up with a function that toggles the video between play and pause on click.

button = document.getElementById( "play" ); function playPause() { if ( video.paused ) { video.play(); button.innerHTML = "❙❙"; } else { video.pause(); button.innerHTML = "►"; } } button.addEventListener( "click", playPause ); video.addEventListener("play", progressLoop);

Hey, it’s still working!

I know it seems weird to take out the rich set of controls that HTML5 offers right out of the box. I probably wouldn’t do that on a real project, but we’re just playing around here.

Cleaning up my ugly spaghetti code

I really want to thank my buddy Neal Fennimore. He took time to look at this with me and offer advice that not only makes the code more legible, but does a much, much better job defining states…

// States const PAUSED = 'paused'; const PLAYING = 'playing'; // Initial state let state = PAUSED;

…doing a proper check for the state before triggering the progress function while listening for the play, pause and click events…

// Animation loop function progressLoop() { if(state === PLAYING) { progress.value = Math.round( ( video.currentTime / video.duration ) * 100 ); timer.innerHTML = Math.round( video.currentTime ) + ' seconds'; requestAnimationFrame(progressLoop); } } video.addEventListener('play', onPlay); video.addEventListener('pause', onPause); button.addEventListener('click', onClick);

…and even making the animation more performant by replacing setInterval with requestAnimationFrame as you can see highlighted in that same snippet.

Here it is in all its glory!

Oh, and yes: I was working on this while “watching” the training video. And, I aced the quiz at the end, thank you very much.

Which musical number is your favorite?

i think if i had to pick one, i'd go with the mr. bear song! it's SO silly and it makes me chuckle everytime. hate to say it but geoff algebra kinda SLAYED here (and it reminds me of "give up your dreams" from the school of rock musical which i also adore for the same hilarious reasons).

i also really love the novaries' song, it's sincerely such a fun tune and it gets stuck in my head a lot (but after replaying the uprising a bunch of times this week it's on timeout for me lmaooo).

7 Steps to Understanding Deep Learning

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning, employing various comparable, yet distinct, deep neural network architectures to fix different problems in natural language processing, computer system vision, and bioinformatics, among other fields. Deep learning has experienced a remarkable current research study revival, and has actually been revealed to provide state of the art results in various applications. Are you interest in learning "Deep Learning" you can register Coursera deep learning specialization for more details. In essence, deep learning is the application of neural networks with more than a single hidden layer of nerve cells. This is, nevertheless, a really simple view of deep learning, and not one that is unanimously concurred upon. These "deep" architectures likewise vary quite significantly, with various executions being enhanced for various jobs or goals. The huge research study being produced at such a consistent rate is exposing new and ingenious deep learning models at an ever-increasing pace. Presently a white hot research study topic, deep learning appears to be impacting all locations of machine learning and, by extension, data science. An examine recent documents in the relevant arXiv categories makes it simple to see that a big quantity of what is being published is deep learning-related. Offered the remarkable results being produced, numerous researchers, practitioners, and laypeople alike are wondering if deep learning is the edge of "true" artificial intelligence. This collection of reading products and tutorials aims to provide a path for a deep neural networks beginner to gain some understanding of this large and complicated topic. Though I do not assume any real understanding of neural networks or deep learning, I will assume your familiarity with basic machine learning theory and practice to some degree. To conquer any deficiency you may have in the basic areas of machine learning theory or practice you can seek advice from the recent KDnuggets post 7 Actions to Learning Machine Learning With Python. Given that we will also see examples implemented in Python, some familiarity with the language will be useful. Introductory and review resources are likewise readily available in the previously mentioned post. This post will utilize freely-available products from around the web in a cohesive order to very first gain some understanding of deep neural networks at a theoretical level, and then move on to some practical executions. As such, credit for the products referenced lie entirely with the creators, who will be kept in mind along with the resources. If you see that someone has actually not been appropriately credited for their work, please alert me to the oversight so that I might quickly correct it. A stark and truthful disclaimer: deep learning is a complex and quickly-evolving field of both breadth and depth (pun unintentional?), and as such this post does not claim to be an all-encompassing handbook to becoming a deep learning professional; such a transformation would take greater time, lots of additional resources, and lots of practice building and testing designs. I do, nevertheless, believe that utilizing the resources herein might assist get you begun on simply such a path.

Action 1: Introducing Deep Learning

If you are reading this and interested in the subject, then you are probably currently acquainted with what deep neural networks are, if even at a basic level. Neural networks have a storied history, however we won't be entering that. We do, however, desire a typical high level of comprehending to start with. First, take a look at the great initial videos from DeepLearning.tv. At the time of this composing there are 14 videos; view them all if you like, however absolutely watch the very first 5, covering the essentials of neural webs and a few of the more typical architectures. Next, read over the NIPS 2015 Deep Learning Tutorial by Geoff Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and Yann LeCun for an intro at a slightly lower level. To round out our primary step, read the first chapter of Neural Networks and Deep Learning, the wonderful, evolving online book by Michael Nielsen, which goes a step even more however still keeps things fairly light.

Action 2: Getting Technical

Deep neural internet count on a mathematical structure of algebra and calculus. While this post will not produce any theoretical mathematicians, getting some understanding of the fundamentals prior to carrying on would be useful. First, view Andrew Ng's linear algebra evaluation videos. While not absolutely essential, for those finding they desire something much deeper on this topic, speak with the Linear Algebra Evaluation and Reference from Ng's Stanford course, written by Zico Kolter and Chuong Do. Then take a look at this Intro to the Derivative of a Function video by Teacher Leonard. The video is succinct, the examples are clear, and it supplies some understanding of what is really going on during backpropagation from a mathematical standpoint. More on that soon. Next have a fast read over the Wikipedia entry for the Sigmoid function, a bounded differentiable function frequently employed by private neurons in a neural network. Lastly, take a break from the mathematics and read this Deep Learning Tutorial by Google research study scientist Quoc Le.

Action 3: Backpropagation and Gradient Descent

An important part of neural networks, including modern deep architectures, is the backward propagation of mistakes through a network in order to upgrade the weights used by nerve cells closer to the input. This is, rather candidly, from where neural networks obtain their "power," for absence of much better term. Backpropagation for short (or perhaps "backprop"), is paired with an optimization method which acts to reduce the weights that are subsequently dispersed (through backpropagation), in order to decrease the loss function. A common optimization technique in deep neural networks is gradient descent. First, read these introductory notes on gradient descent by Marc Toussaint of the University of Stuttgart. Next, take a look at this action by action example of backpropagation in action written by Matt Mazur. Carrying on, check out Jeremy Kun's useful article on coding backpropagation in Python. Taking a look over the total code is also suggested, as is attempting to duplicate it yourself.

Overwhelmed

Honestly I feel so overwhelmed lately. I’m failing my algebra class and it’s making me depressed. It makes me think of my parents telling me how I’m not enough, how I’m damaged, stupid, broken.
