I’m surprised when there is new technology that I predicted. On a hiking trip in the southern part of that US state I’m in I realized that the progression of software creation was towards more abstraction. I realized that the programming languages, libraries, and frameworks at that time were progressing more towards how one’s primary… Continue reading 🤖 Embracing AI technology

📚 Grimoires of Programming 📚
Anyone holding the book Systems Performance by Brendan Gregg will feel the weight and take notice of the size. It made me realize that we software engineers are in the business of collecting Grimoires. Anyone who has watched Frieren know that not all Grimoires are created equal. I’d like to talk about some recent ones… Continue reading 📚 Grimoires of Programming 📚
Uses for Machine Learning Agents 🤖
Clearly I’ve been on HuggingFace (🤗) lately. I wanted to share some of the thoughts I’ve had on the topic of applied machine learning (ML) based on some of my research. I’m trying to think up use cases for applied machine learning solutions. Inverted Problem Solving of Deep Reinforcement Learning Something I find fascinating with… Continue reading Uses for Machine Learning Agents 🤖
Explaining Hugging Face 🤗
I’ve had the pleasure of explaining hugging face to a few software developer friends of mine. I figured it was worth writing down what I explained to them. At this point I have under a month of experience. Hugging Face (🤗) is a platform to share various models. It was started originally in 2016 by… Continue reading Explaining Hugging Face 🤗
I Recommend: Steve Rabin’s Code Optimization DevDeck
As you may have gathered from some of my previous posts I enjoy learning about game development. Game Agent AI Programming, a specialized subject in game programming, led me to an an interesting person (and team) who seek to coalesce industry knowledge into a consumable series of books: the Game AI Pro series. Little did… Continue reading I Recommend: Steve Rabin’s Code Optimization DevDeck
Fine-tuned Pretrained AI Models Afford Futuristic Software Capabilities for Edge Apps
I believe one flavor of software that will become more common over time is software that uses (multiple) fine-tuned pretrained AI models as libraries to provide stochastic reasoning capabilities intended to be run on edge computing applications. I realized that was exactly what I was doing while recently building with MediaPipe and Unity, where the… Continue reading Fine-tuned Pretrained AI Models Afford Futuristic Software Capabilities for Edge Apps
Useful Enums for MediaPipe Hand and Pose Landmarker Model
I’ve been working with Google’s MediaPipe which is a augmented reality (AR) library that can be used on low power devices (such as a phone). Basically MediaPipe is a collection of pre-trained AI that lets a developer do some interesting things. You can use it for single images or video sources such as a webcam.… Continue reading Useful Enums for MediaPipe Hand and Pose Landmarker Model
Competitive Fighting Games as Framework of Game Combat System
It’s difficult to provide a generalized statement but I can say I observe there exists common things in the kinds of games that I typically want to make. I find they typically involve understanding character (and object) animations in terms of animation clip transitions and the vocabulary common to fighting games. More about my hypothesis… Continue reading Competitive Fighting Games as Framework of Game Combat System
ESP32 as a Robot Brain
Thanks to AliExpress I’ve been able to obtain more electronic components for cheap. Many moons ago I developed robotics. I 3D printed 4 legged robots, built circuits to support 8 9g servos, an arduino, and support a small lipo battery. In an unexpected turn of events, I actually flashed the arduinos to be able to… Continue reading ESP32 as a Robot Brain
Migrating blog from AWS to Shared Hosting
I transitioned my personal blog from a DIY scalable AWS solution to a Shared Hosting solution. Allow me to explain my thinking. I had my blog hosted on AWS. I thought my words may have wide reach. Perhaps I even share excellent blogs on popular programmer websites such as hackernews or daily dev. Surely it… Continue reading Migrating blog from AWS to Shared Hosting
