I’m almost done with grad school and graduating with my Master’s in Computer Science - just one class left on Wednesday, and that’s the final exam. Originally I had hoped to graduate last year, but things happened that delayed my graduation year (to be specific, I switched from a thesis to non-thesis curriculum). My final class is Distributed Computing , which I had a project to do. This project included a report. For my project, I compa..

I’ve wanted to see the Tor in person for a long time, ever since reading a fantasy book set in Glastonbury in high school. My wish has finally come true! I’m writing this post from a small apartment called Chalice Lodge on High Street, Glastonbury. To my left is an organic restaurant named Hundred Monkeys Cafe. To my right and just across the street is an organic food store. Surrounding those are a myriad of crystal shops, psychic healing p..

Ten years ago, the iPhone 3G was just announced, the second version of the iPhone ever. A lot has changed since in tech to the point where it is hard even to imagine how we lived before. Ten years into the future… who knows where tech would be? I don’t know for sure, but this doesn’t stop me from making educated guesses. It is also hard to know “exactly” ten years in the future where technology will be in its trajectory, but what is easie....

Last week we installed an airconditioning unit in our house and yesterday a DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor arrived that I had ordered in the past from ebay and had totally forgotten about it. So, I got the idea to monitor the temperature and humidity in the room, to see how well the airconditioning unit works. What better way to do this than use Prometheus, Grafana and a spare Raspverry Pi Zero W I had lying around.

What follows is a set of notes I took during two of the IJCAI Goal Reasoning workshop talks, about rebel agents. Both talks were presented by the same speaker and both focused on rebel agents. These talks were quite short and the speaker had to go fast, so I feel like I missed out on a lot of the information I wanted to record. As a result some parts are obviously omitted and more than usual are written from memory today, increasing potenti..

I am currently starting to learn Scala (to add to a myriad of other languages I have programmed in over my career). We are also in the process of “dockerizing” our application. So I wanted to try for myself getting a simple Scala application running in Docker.

Introduction HackerEarth has grown into a platform that serves a huge number of customers for technical assessment. To make this possible, we try our best to make the platform as easy-to-use as it can get. At several places in our Recruiter Dashboard, we used to have a Markdown editor to allow users to edit free text. There have been multiple times when many of our recruiters have struggled to create content using the Markdown editor. ....

There is a fast way to compute the rotation of a vector by a quaternion, apparently noted first by Fabian Giesen. See this blog post . Since the original description/derivation seems to have been lost in the sands of time (pages 404), I thought I would re-derive it. In the derivation below, I will follow the notation of Ken Shoemake in Quaternions . Suppose we have a unit quaternion $$q = [\mathbf{v}, w]$$ The rotation of a vector....

When you first get started learning about functional programming in JavaScript, there are a few functions you grasp pretty easily. Array.prototype.filter is very intuitive, especially if you have worked with a language like SQL which is all about filtering out data. Array.prototype.map is a bit more complex, but you can figure it out pretty quickly if you’re given a few examples.

For a list of actions on macOS, the standard control is an action button as defined in the macOS Human Interface Guidelines . Here’s the definition from that page: An action button (often referred to as an action menu) is a specific type of pull-down button that operates like a contextual menu, without the disadvantage of being hidden, providing access to app-wide or table-specific commands. An action button includes a gear icon when....

Below is another set of IJCAI session notes. This was the first invited talk in a day-long workshop called Architectures and Evaluation for Generality, Autonomy & Progress in AI (AEGAP). The speaker, Oren Etzioni, talked about some of the work the Allen Institute is doing to drive the creation of common sense in AI. He focused especially on a need for a concrete benchmark to measure results when it comes to implementing common sense. As..

Squint your eyes! You’d think an emoji would be a clear and precise representation of an emotion. However the difference in rendering on different devices provides a great potential for miscommunication . But even on the same platform, the kind of emotional reaction you may express is curated through the choice and design of available emojis. Take Facebook for example. The five Facebook emojis give you broad expressive capabilitie....

For the past couple of days I’ve been at IJCAI - the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. It’s been a three-day whirlwind of workshops and tutorials. I took a lot of notes, and as with ECAL last year I figured organizing them into blog posts would be a good way to review some of the takeaways. Note that the intended audience here is future-me, and I could very well have made mistakes or misinterpretations in my own n..

It’s a complex thing to make things simple. The main reason is you need to make a choice on what is the one or two thing you want to put forth.To make the right choice your idea need to prioritise what matter most to solve the solution at hand in a elegant way. The problem is that elegant is sure enough not understood the same by two people the same way.
