ak93··on Show HN: Paint yourself in the style of classic art, in your browser
I think the definition of "creativity" is very vague when we try to explain that in terms of computer or AI. Generative artwork/systems, which are highly random tends to appear "creative" and not just any "imitation".
ak93··on Ask HN: How do you keep improving?
Start by becoming aware of yourself. Being mindful and aware of your own existence, weakness, strength gives a profound energy to move forward. Once awareness becomes a second nature, you wont see failure as failure nor success as success. It will become a journey.

I am rebuilding myself with this process and taking inspiration from Bhagwad Gita for that.

ak93··on Bringing IoT to sports analytics
I wrote my thesis on biomechanics analytics under sports equipment department, which primarily focused on improving the motion for people suffering with lower body injuries. I think the field need more exploration I believe with advent of AI in this field can even boost its reach.
ak93··on Ask HN: What do you want to learn in 2017?
I want to learn Generative art! I really enjoy the intersection of programming and art. I have previously worked on couple of designs using python and it was amazing. I want to continue that again this year(once I have a full time job). I really think I can work some design that might sell too!
ak93··on Learning Machine Learning: A beginner's journey
Even I recently started with ML/DL but my approach is more theoretical way. I started with Andrew's course, but alongside doing Python Machine Learning textbook,while testing my self on Kaggle. I hope to build some interesting system soon. The only thing I am worried about is getting a full time job, which I think always require someone with 2+ year experience.

That is really great! I am doing the same thing too. I am reading Bhagvad Gita which stresses on a similar idea and reading Deep Work by Cal Newport! Any books you wanna suggest!?
ak93··on Ask HN: What are startups working in field of Bionics and Biomechatronics?
Exactly, neuriprosthetics is one, we also have exoskeleton, soft bionics too.. I think it's a pretty wide and active field to work in.
ak93··on Ask HN: What are startups working in field of Bionics and Biomechatronics?
But what about more hardware oriented bio support system. BIO+ MECHNICAL/ MECHATRONICS Like prosthesis, bionics arms, artificial limbs etc? The one you mentioned is more on bio and chemistry side which I don't have a long term focus and interest.
