Over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven't gotten very far. I've been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so "random" it isn't even funny. Like I can't even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

Trump administration bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students

Thom Hartmann, Contributing Writer - Raw story | Commentary
Stephan: Although Trump is a terrible multi-bankrupt businessman, as I have pointed out repeatedly, he has real skill with lying and manipulating media to focus on fake or irrelevant stories to avoid attention on the real stories. Thom Hartmann explains what I mean very well.
_Stephan: In my view, the Chinese have played Donald Trump like a flute in the trade war crisis he created. I don’t know why corporate media hardly mentions that Trump has gone bankrupt six times; he couldn’t even make a success of a gambling casino. He is a terrible businessman.

Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one?
Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.
If you know Object-oriented programming, you learn functional programming.
If you know Model-View-Controller, you learn Model-View-ViewModel.
If you don’t know anything about architectures, you learn Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, etc.
If you know Python, you learn Ruby or Go.
If you know Clojure or Lisp… you don’t need to learn anything else. You are already a good programmer. Just kidding. You can learn Elixir or Scala.
Be a good programmer my friend.

Confession:
I’ve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other “modern” social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very “ego-centric”. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great – and it didn’t even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But it’s not that great and the protocol isn’t meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of “likes” has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. ☹️

- 2021–2023 – Pods sync, user mentions, blocking, search, and media support added
- 2024+ – Yarn.social becomes the reference Twtxt platform, with active federated pods
