I have to try the bay leaves. Thanks for these pointers.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Does Rust have its own linear algebra, image processing, computer vision libraries in pure rust?

I would love to see how such libraries are built from scratch in a low level language. I feel like I would learn a lot as well.

I’m actually interested in biology as well. I wish research equipment was cheaper for independent experiments.

This is pretty cool. I was actually thinking about doing something like this as I don’t like typing.

I will follow along.

Thank you for this. Going to start this weekend.

I don’t think this will reduce use of sterotyoes. They can actually hone in people who have past priors and abuse their power, even if the ones with past priors have done nothing wrong in the encounter with cops. Because no one will believe those with past priors.

I have seen many cops abuse their power, have short tempers and break laws.

This substance seems completely unavoidable now. It doesn’t seem like the general public is aware of it , but are the harmful effects over stated?

Wow, this is certainly enlightening. I wonder how I can get food that isn’t filled with Nanoparticles.

Thanks. I didn’t know that you can disable it.

I am interested in this as well. There is a course on Edx or courses regarding synthetic biology.

Thank you. I am actually a self- learner and have only take calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics. Currently learning bayesian statistics and reading “first course in abstract algebra” by John B Fraleigh.

I am guessing I should do Real Analysis and then the Munkres book to get an idea of topology ?

Topology seems like a really cool field. Can I jump into this book without any topology knowledge?

I have not taken differential equations yet and wonder is that is a prerequisite.

This was an enlightening article about how the standards set by the EPA don’t seem to be safe standard according to Harvard scientists: https://www.ehn.org/when-safe-may-not-really-be-safe-2621578...

It seems there are different classes of pesticides: some really unsafe pesticides that should be banned but aren’t.

What can we possibly do in this case? Grow our own food?

Problem is as presidents change , the EPA staff changes as well.

And certain pesticides are unbanned.

The EPA also isn’t listening to independent scientists who’s research is showing ill effects even within the current limits.

The fact that farmers are getting sick from pesticides is what scares me. It’s another version of second hand smoke.

Strokes, heart attack and cancer among young people seem to be on rise ,and doctors seem to be puzzled. Sperm count is getting lower and lower and we have no idea why.

It’s not just pesticides, but we are getting exposed to other carcinogens, pollution, x-rays, contaminated water, Teflon that stays in your body etc etc and we have no studies determine the cumulative effects of everything.

Body is very complex and it could be that this combination could result in a lot more genetic mutations and health problems.

I wish we had something like community farming where one day a week (mandated day off from regular work)the community members help sustain their community farm, which is the farm that supplies food for the community. This way there is more autonomy and knowledge about which pesticides are used etc.

I’ve been having trouble with their codelab which runs on the cloud. It keeps freezing either when I am downloading data from a cloud bucket or trying to run some specific cells. This was yesterday though and will need to retry

Can you recommend a book or course that can help me understand stats on clinical trials (if not a stats book with emphasis on clinical trials)?

I feel like I am of those that can easily be fooled by misleading claims.

I feel your pain.Just read your blog and I feel the same way, except I am not a student and learning machine learning on the side. A lot of these younger people have years of programming experience so they can just focus in the ML part and mainly the programming side of it. I picked up programming couple of years ago and I am in my mid-30s, and there really is a lot of learn to deep learning if you are new to programming.

These students have maybe a decade plus experience on you and they have been doing it daily for that decade.

I was trying to learn everything just as you I didn’t make much progress.

As a novice programmer , I need to learn Linux ,windows registeries, command line / bash, cloud computing , python , python frameworks like pytorch, tf, pyro, keras , flask, Django , JavaScript,AWS, swift or Kotlin, C or c++ for gpu programming, git GitHub

Then there is the math which I am not going to list .

The we finally have deep learning and a focus on a particular domain.

Currently I am focusing on the partical stuff , such as python , python deep learning frameworks , cloud , and just trying to implement models and get them to work.

I have already taken the prerequisite math courses but my foundation is still shaky and I don’t have a good enough foundation to take upper level math.

I eventually want to learn C /C++ (really would like to use Rust instead for going programmig)and retake all math courses to try to come up with my own general intelligence models.

So my advice is to tackle one skim at a time , and prioritize them in terms of practicality. get good at the frameworks since they go beyond deep learning and can be used for general computation. Get a good foundation in math since that is your major and you have a chance now,and implement as many models as you can and test them.

Good luck!

Is this the same for bottled flax oil? I am under the impression that flax oil has similar properties to fish oil.

Ah. Excellent point.

I’m more interested in incidents of cancer among younger people. Is it rising or falling?

I guess I should get my water tested?

Do common filters that attach to your faucet or are inserted into your fridge filter these particles?

Any suggestions to get EEGs at a discount? There seem to be a lot of interesting products with EEGs.

I’m also very interested in mixing hardware and software and my friend currently ordered an arduino starter kit that we will work on together. I don’t really have a product in mind, just exploring what is possible with hardware.

Has anyone managed to do this? It feels like we need 3-4 hours of light exercise at the very least. I am trying to stay active while programming but it is hard to concentrate.

Just gave it a quick look— Loaded with lots content.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing and seems it would be useful for non-engineering students as myself as well. Going to check it out =)

Any books I can read on non-toxic living? These days I feel like they are a lot of toxic substances in our everyday products that should be substituted for cleaner versions but I am not aware of all of them. Is there a useful book on this subject?

Last year I read about pm2.5 in our air and have gotten some sensors and air purifier to combat this particular problem.

I really want to play around with sensors and create projects similar to this. I am fascinated with sensors.

Is this something that is possible with arduino or raspberry pi? Or is there something else I should look into?

Is it really that bad? I’ve been reading some of the deep learning stuff and there are some pretty detailed ,lengthy explanations. One time I did notice that An author copied/pasted most of their content from an obscure blog (90%) and I was going to call them out but they did list the blog in their reference.

However I am still a beginner in programming as well as deep learning so maybe I lack the the ability to distinguish between real and fake experts.
