I’m testing the new Tensorflow 2.0 framework and went to install the PIL or pillow image library I’ve used before. Unfortunately after installing it with conda I found out my Tensorflow library wouldn’t import. Did a quick google search and found out you can look at your conda install history with conda list –revisions When … Read more
Reiko and I took a trip to Okinawa to see an aquarium she’s always wanted to visit! They’ve got a couple whale sharks, a bunch of mantas, half a dozen dolphins, turtles, manatees, just tons of sea life. We also explored some beaches nearby, and visited a native Okinawa museum/historical village.

Electrum is a great wallet and I’ve used it for over a year now (before that I was even more irresponsible and just left my coins on Coinbase). I’d … Read more

Hey! Been a while since an update. I’m in Taiwan and am going to be sticking around here for a while. I started seeing a wonder person, Reiko, back in January and we went on a road trip for Lunar New Year.
So I tried using Caffe for some natural language processing and found it wasn’t well suited. While it’s great for image processing with convolution networks (CNN), it would take quite a bit of effort to add looping output to make a recurrent (RNN). Recurrent Neural networks are helpful in natural language processing. For instance, if … Read more
