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.
