Beauty (crazyflie) and the beast (me).
A continuation of the vision based control for nano-drones project I posted a while ago.
I am super grateful for my advisors for investing in me more than I thought I deserve.

Real camera simulation:
I know how to simulate the optics part given the camera calibration model and parameters.
I would like to know how to characterize the grey level values given X amount of light, which I assume is more the CCD part.
Suggestions?

After an extremely stressful exam period, I find myself logging in to the grading website and just looking at my results with almost erotic pleasure. A few times a day. I guess it's a form of mental masturbation.

So finally all bugs were fixed in the drone code, and we get a nice test score on the gvsoc. I got wrinkles from this intense debugging process.
Next step, testing on the hardware.

Ironic is when the lecture slides about consistency models are inconsistent with the book they are based on 😂

When people say "I hate C/C++, I prefer java/python", I feel like, sorry guys, but we can't be friends.

It's kind of embarrassing not to support random number generation, but not having float types?
Solidity, kill yourself.

Doctor: "How do you feel?"
Me: "Stressed."
Doctor: "And something other than that?"
Me: "More stress."
Doctor: "Depression maybe?"
Me: "No, I don't have time for that!"
Doctor: "You will have time for iron infusion next week though."
FML.

Hissing + angry meowing.

This is my silent protest

If you have "ijk" in your name, you're either Dutch or a matrix.

We had a guest lecture about computer science and gender equality, and it was exciting to see my male classmates so supportive of drawing more women into our field...They are so tired of taking biology courses just so they can look at pretty girls 😂

Based on what I learned so far in the UX course, the UX textbook we learn from is utter shit. Who the fuck thought that using huge blocks of cyan color is a good idea?

When you have a numerics bug, you know you're working on the good stuff.

My humble contribution to science

I think I've hit an all-time record of being a superior and condescending engineer, when I casually remarked that we are wrong to use L1 loss function on the yaw, because you can't take Euclidean-like distance on a cylinder.

So I've written the c part for deploying the NN to the drone. Now I have to wait for the guys who are actually the creators of this platform to fix a tiny bug in the quantization process. Then I can test my code and see the 100000 bugs that I have.

Chewing/slurping noises.
I can lose my shit over that.

WIP - Scarlet Witch project
AKA me collecting/cleaning/processing data while someone else will get the glory 😂

Backend developers, how are your Lambada skills?
Better work on your moves before interviewing:

#JobPostingFail

Being hated by everyone since they view you as an undeserving elitist who gets overpaid for sitting in an air-conditioned office and punching the keyboard.

If you need a vertical screen, your functions are too long.

Who are you people that fork repos without starring them? 😢

So I've been trying to port a neural network to a 64 mW GAPuino board with 64Kb in the L1, which is supposed to guide a nano-drone to follow human faces. The struggle is real.

My TA sent me an email asking if I wanted to do to my thesis in his department. Damn, he knows me well!

My mom was not aware of the "forward" option in mails for many years. If she needed to forward documents, she would print them from the original mail, scan them to her computer, and attach the scanned files to a new mail.
She also didn't realize she can just save them on her computer, in case she didn't want to forward the entire correspondence, but only the documents.
I'm so sorry trees, I didn't know 😂

Our robotics final project requires that we add all sorts of multimedia aids to our documentation - my video editing skills are sub-par 😂

Clustering high dimensional data - SOS!

I have to cluster documents. I computed the tf*idf, but I have ~45K docs with 28K words.
I did minibatch kmeans which works alright, but everything else runs forever. I need to compare 2 clustering algorithm, so I need at least another one that works. In this life time.
Suggestions?

You can take the girl out of C++, but you can't take the C++ out of the girl.

I got this as a feedback to the Matlab assignment I submitted.
