1. FINALLY, reading, chewing and digesting LISP. I can see the 'magical' prowess in it- but still not fully there.
2. Formalizing and standardizing an algorithm for one-shot learning using 'old-school' machine learning techniques that is freaking light-weight. Performs well on my problem set i.e. recognizing users from their mouse patterns (with as little as 10 secs of activity). But standardizing it to test it and benchmarking and then hopefully releasing it. Publication implementing the algorithm got rejected though :(
3. Growing highest quality and fresh produce indoors. Covid-19 has impacted some of my personal financial capacity but still doing my best. hexafarms.com
4. Writing essays.
5. A DSL for API testing (with things like API chaining, replay attacks, etc.)- the idea is to stack features slowly and then put a UI on top of it. Something like BurpSuite for those in the cysec space, but for programmers and pointy-haired bosses alike.
