On Neha

I think the Pune references are due to Neha. I may be guilty of subordination (not much though) but I dont think she was fit to lead a team especially in an environment as haphazard  as British Gas Business.  I did a big favour for BGB by structuring their data and giving them visibility and this is the way they repay me.

On Conformity

A manifestation of survival instinct. How sad does the world seem from my eyes? Very sad.

On Artists

Does a true artist really want recognition or fame? Or is it a Howard Roark kind of thing? Is self expression the ultimate joy? Are accolades the ultimate joy? I wonder how many great artists have not been seen by the world. I think a lot of artists see the world differently or more deeply than the general populace. How do you define art? Art is expression. More precisely, it is self expression. An artist says; this is the way I see things. An artist explores the depths of his mind and body and tries to  express those findings through his work. He lays his feelings on the platter for the whole world to see. An artist needs independent thinking. Why do we like art?

More on Python

Cython, multithreading, and multiprocessing look pretty cool. Will start using it in my work. Sometimes a good video can make a lot of difference. I have started writing a book on Python. Hopefully, as usual, this will be one of the better books on the subject.

What If I Dont Love Anything?

What if I dont love doing anything ? Maybe I just like wasting time doing different things. Maybe I wont do anything in my life. Just enjoy and waste my life. I need to focus in life. But I do love the idea of taking revenge.

On Hotstar

Got the yearly subscription. But most of the movies on Hotstar are rated below 7.

The Game Between People

It is not about money. It is about the game between people. It is about a group of people who will die a horrible death. Everybody has to die.

On Winscp

It is pretty cool. But reminds me of the hacking of the automation in AMEX . Brings back painful memories. One of the reasons I quit. Hacking has continued since then and has left a scar in my mind. Those people should die too. Everyone involved should die.

On AI Course

I am thinking of pursuing a PHD in AI. Its a reach but I can probably make it work. This is going to rile up a lot of people. I will start looking for courses. Maybe something in IIT Mandi. Sometimes I feel like pursuing philosophy. Sometimes I feel like doing nothing. Sometimes I feel like killing everyone. One thing is for sure. I am eschewing the conventional path. Dropped the plan for further education. Dont feel like working hard anymore. I think that at an overall level, I am smarter than most of the people. It all seems in vain. I will keep pursuing AI as a hobby.

On Word Embeddings

Word embeddings are more suitable for synonyms. It gives decent result for synonyms.  Word classification can get a bit tricky with word embeddings. Maybe some modifications will make it useful. I think training on domain specific data will give better results. Anyone has pretrained embeddings on medical domain? I will launch a word similarity api from different sources.

On Different People

I think different people are persecuted.  People do not like others who are different than them. Fuck this society.

On Science vs Faith

I think a lot of people in both camps are arrogant. The grand design has not been solved in its entirety. It is better to use words carefully.

On New Scientist

I think I wiill subscribe to New Scientist. It looks interesting. I will probably also pursue astrophysics.

Reinforcement Learning in NLP

Can reinforcement learning lead to better results in NLP? May be.

How NLP AIs Work?

The training is supervised. I think they use a combination of sequence modeling and word embeddings to arrive at the answer.

On Anti Poor

I have become completely anti poor. I have seen the ugly side of poor people. If wont hesitate to engage in genocide of poor people if I get a chance. I think poor people are very narrow minded. They dont get the big picture.

On NLP

It is pretty tough. Fries up your brain. But I enjoy doing it.

Screwed Up World

The world is screwed up. I have become convinced of this. I am turning a bit poetic. When you really get detached, it clears your head. Even in solitude, there are only a few moments that are truly peaceful. But these moments reveal a lot. It feels like a veil has been suddenly lifted. The uneasiness and suffocation goes away. Only peace remains. I have come to realize that I have no use for money. My only desires are good food and sex. I can live without both. The heartache is overwhelming. I cant get past all the shit. It is hard to believe that the whole world gangs up on one person to destroy them. They believe they have the right to socially condition a person. They will have to face the consequences. I guess the pain will subside when I kill some of the perpetrators. I will rewatch season 5 of wire. I think for me it is better to live in poverty. It will push me to keep myself healthy.

No Studies

Formal education is way overrated. I do not intend to engage in any further studies. This is for sure. I want to live a relaxed, easy life in the mountains. Whatever life throws at me is fine. I am happy with even INR 5k per month. It doesnt matter to me at all. Only revenge matters. Kill Barclays people, exl people , my family, US, and UK people. Anyone harbouring any thoughts otherwise about my future should forget about it. Also do note that I will not accept any form of compensation except the death of the people involved. I am prepared to suffer endlessly. It doesnt matter to me. A lot of people have to die. I plan to kill thousands of people. I will feel better if I kill millions. I wish I could deliver deaths to these people personally.

On Living Alone

It is quite pleasant and stress free. I enjoy my daily life. I have made peace with chores. They help me stay fit. I have decided to live like this for the rest of my life. I have grown fond of this life. It is pure peace. There is no need for anything anymore. I truly dont need anything except revenge. This is complete freedom. No headaches. No one to nag you. No society to conform and suck up to. No boss to report to. No bills to worry about. Do what I Iike. The very definition of absolute freedom. A lot of people will brand me crazy or a coward. Does it really matter if I am not in touch with them? I think I will eventually pursue writing and philosophy.  I am pretty sure that is where my heart truly lies. After completing the sites and NLIDB, I will move to writing and body building. I get fed up of technology every few weeks. It just doesnt fascinate me as much as writing and philosophy. I think this is my final decision. No more active tech work after these projects. I h...

Google Maps Hacking

Who was responsible for hacking my google maps? It had to be Google. When I was checking the IP addresses in netstat, there was one from twitter. Is twitter also involved in this scam? I suppose all bigwigs are colluding against me. I should blow up their offices.

Starting an AI Service

I will start an artificial intelligence service through one of my websites. Will focus on NLP and data analytics. Will practice a bit on kaggle. There are only a limited number of algorithms that are used in real life. Moreover, a lot of things can be accomplished through APIs and pretrained models. It shouldnt be too difficult. It will be a bit slow at the start but I hope to catch up in 6 months.

On Russell Crowe

Only Russell Crowe can do Russell Crowe. He is way too awesome sometimes.

Robotics Plan

Will start working on small robotic projects. Hopefully in 30 years will have a robot to take care of me. I have made very small arduino projects. Should help me get started. Will probably do an apprenticeship sort of thing somewhere to hone my workmanship.

On Albert Camus

I havent read much about him but I feel like my ideologies and theories resonate with him the most.

Evolution and Diet

Evolution is very closely linked to diet. Our larger brain size is the product of the scavenging the leftover food from the kills of other predators.

NLP Camps

There is a deep learning camp and other camps (compositional semantics, grammars, rules etc.). Deep learning essentially does pattern matching using highly sophisticated algorithms and huge amounts of data. It allows machines to recognise patterns in the data and apply it to new data. Deep learning has definitely resulted in the thawing of AI winter. However, the underlying understanding is not at a fundamental level. The other camps try to teach machines in a way humans learn to process language. Deep learning is a more of a self taught student whereas the other camp is more of a school student. IMO (no offense to anyone), both approaches have their pros and cons. We will have to wait and watch for the winner. Sling's outputs make me vote for the deep learning camp. In my NLIDB approach, I aim to combine elements of both camps. Lets see how it turns out.

NLIDB Progress

7th April Calculated cosine similarity using Tensorflow. Will upload pretrained glove word embeddings and use it for grouping the words. Too much work. Pythonanywhere whitelists sites for free accounts. Dont want to move to paid before I check out the features using lappi. Have to manually download and upload. Too much whitelisting. 8th April Installed sling. It is working. Sling can be a substitute for framenet. This could be a pretty good parser (considering it does not involve supervised learning). Got the syntaxnet API running. NLIDB progress is looking good. Thanks Google. 9th April Got started with full text search using whoosh. It should help with generic queries which can't be answered using databases. 10th April Parsing in sling is progressing a bit slowly. The data structure is a bit weird. Have figured out most of the aspects of sling data structures. I feel depressed because of the weather. Dont feel like working anymore. Will work properly after I get a l...

Weight Loss Progress

7th April I feel lighter and fitter. However, strength has dwindled a bit. I am following the diet regime strictly. Also doing all the chores myself. Am not exercising regularly. 11th April It is all about your state of mind and focus on long term goal. If you remain aware and equanimous, you can achieve your goals without much difficulty. I aim to step up my efforts today onwards.

On Work

No jobs. Jobs are so frustrating. So stifling. I wasted so much of my life. I will never ever do a job again. I will pursue my own sites, freelancing, and do whatever I like. An easy and relaxed life. Also no working with the labour class. I cant handle the stress.

Focus on Chatbot

Will start working on a NLIDB for the weight loss site asap.

On Fasting

I wonder why no one is sponsoring a long term study of fasting for weight loss. I am convinced that fasting will only affect the metabolic rate somewhat. It is certainly better than 3-4 meals a days on calorie restriction. Why doesn't the mainstream medical science endorse fasting as a weight loss tool?

On Retirement

I will write about how to lead a retired life. I am more or less leading a retired life. I intend to live like this forever. Except for revenge.

On Chores

I have decided to do all my chores myself. Should help me keep in shape. Also gives you a sense of control over your life as you are not dependent on anyone. No one is reliable here. Plus my exercise discipline is quite poor.

Django is Awesome

Django is way too awesome.
