At the laundromat because the only washer in my building broke. #noredundancy #noclothes #nothappy # Laundromat has wifi but no beer. So better than NYC but worse than New Orleans. # After the laundromat I'm heading to Walmart. #realamerica # Sunday afternoons at a laundromat are *prime* people watching hours. #
Writing up my thesis proposal. I feel like a real scientist! #
Working so much I'm starting to feel a bit punchy. Something about constant problem solving is really draining. # Every third conference paper on a topic is just the best parts of the first two in some form of non-parametric Bayes. #aitrends # Every computer vision algorithm is one dataset away from complete failure. # [...]
Protip: The third place game is often more enjoyable. #worldcup #waitfouryears #applytip # For some reason I start feeling really tired whenever I have to switch from writing code to debugging code. # I need to procrastinate in a more productive way. # What I learned from Inception: dreams are stack data structures. #

Like a 1000% more stable. # Ok. I’ll admit I just looked [...]

Good referee this game. For once. #usa #worldcup Woo! #usa #worldcup Let’s not kid ourselves. The road to the world cup final is [...]
Air raid like siren going off in Ann Arbor for a storm I hardly noticed. Amateurs. # Biggest storm I ever lived through happened in Texas. When it was finished, we had golf ball size pieces of hail in our bed. # Growing up I remember a Northeaster with lightning so prolific it turned on [...]
Using new OpenCV Python interface for the first time. So much better. #
I just discovered "Stats for nerds" in the Chrome task manager. Led me to about:memory. Awesome! # I don't call them buses. I call them low flying spaceships. Makes the morning commute much more interesting. # I wonder what this paper means for deep belief networks: http://goo.gl/7lBO. #
