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.

Put my career on hold for two years minimum, in order to pursue a Masters degree.

LinkedIn keeps offering me jobs in the greater Detroit area. Dude, there is nothing great about that area 😂

My former team opened two different positions to replace me: senior computer vision engineer and senior computer graphics engineer.
If you combine the required experience years, it's roughly my age 😂
Talk about unrealistic and unnecessary job requirements....

Data scientist and related devs, how do you handle large datasets?
I was given a .txt file containing +1M edges of a directed graph. I tried to analyze it with networkx, but my computer killed the process as it was eating too much CPU/memory.
I would be grateful for any advice!

I quickly realized that I'm awful at drawing strange enough polygons to test all the cases in my geometric algorithms class. So instead of stupidly glaring at pseudo code, I'm writing everything in C++, and testing with a random polygon generator.
Here's my repository -

Did you know that the national center of super-computing in Swiss (CSCS), dedicates 30% of its resources for computations for the Swiss weather channel?

Talk about priorities 😂

My carpal tunnel got so bad I can barely wipe my ass 😂

So after another data analytics class, I have Beyonce's song playing in my head as:
"All the shingle ladies, all the shingle ladies"

Only Python can make me dislike Pandas :/
Damned data analytics course...

Just a quick reminder to all managers who unlawfully discriminate pregnant employees - you came out of some woman's cunt, not forked on Github.

*If anyone who knows me reads this, I'm not the pregnant one :)

When people use TF in a sentence, I instinctively read it as TensorFlow *facepalm*.

My feed is full of sickening "Look what my perfect boyfriend/husband got me for Valentine's!" posts.
Well, my boyfriend simply opened a bug on something I implemented in our pet project. Now that's romance.

So I created a new repo, with fisheye effect for Unity. It's not optimized enough for games, but for simulation purposes I think it's useful.

So I got accepted to M.Sc abroad, and while it is by itself a very uplifting event, it was nothing compared to the satisfaction I derived from telling my boss that I quit.
