I have been thinking about being able to reproduce results easily and quickly. As you can read in my previous post about jupyter notebooks. They will, at least in python let you do so. However, when attempting to reproduce entire dependencies for your software so that you can easily install on another machine there is… Continue reading Nix

Jupyter notebooks
Some interesting projects: Google has there own modified jupyter notebook that integrates into google drive: https://colab.research.google.com/ And there is Binder (beta) that will create an executable jupyter environment from a github repo with jupyter notebooks. Then anyone can easily run your code. https://mybinder.org/
The Morning Paper
Found a pretty cool site The Morning Paper. The author goes over a CS paper every day during the week. It is a broad range of interesting topics.
Bioengineering
So, I was thinking that it would be interesting if we made a uniform harvesting mechanism. Essentially all produce such as potatoes, corn, tomatoes, grapes, carrots, etc would all be grown in the same manner. So, like if we modeled it after growing corn you would have a similar plant that would produce a husk… Continue reading Bioengineering
Smart Apartment Communities
I am getting a new apartment and am going to move-in in October! This time it is a fancy one, not a basement of a house, but well it is still technically in a basement (subterranean as the apartment office calls it). It is fancy in that it is part of an apartment complex. The… Continue reading Smart Apartment Communities
Machine Learning and History
I’ve had this idea for doing clustering and data mining of history texts. Would be interesting to creating learning algorithms that can learn timelines and context. Essentially history textbooks are structured possibly geographically and as a time series of events. Then doing graphical analysis and social analysis on these structures. Could compare history texts and… Continue reading Machine Learning and History
Amazing last week or so
So, I thought I’d write about the past few days as they were quite exciting, eventful, and since I’m forgetful I don’t want to forget. I’ll begin of course at the beginning. Which probably isn’t really the beginning but oh well. The excitement started 12/12/15. I went home to hanover that Friday (12/11) and had… Continue reading Amazing last week or so
Autonomous Mixer
Ingredients 🙂 3D printer Motors Touchscreen with Raspberry-pi Leap Motion (for gesture recognition) Pressure Sensor (to know when the bowl is on the turn table) Kinect (for facial response feedback, mixing monitoring) So, this would be the coolest mixer everrr (lol)! Would 3d print the housing and the mixing blades. Would self-clean (maybe) and automatically mix… Continue reading Autonomous Mixer
Modern Jukebox
The modern jukebox should be an app and people can pick the song to listen too from their personal device. Could have a voting based or purchase based. Then I can listen to the music I want when I’m at the school cafeteria, at a restaurant, or the mall. Could get “tokens” for playing music while… Continue reading Modern Jukebox
Sun based internet
I was just reading about LiFi and I was wondering why not just create window attachments that produce the same effect? Then you can use the sunlight instead and the window can modulate the light to achieve the same effect as the LiFi. Then both the lifi bulbs and the windows could work together to… Continue reading Sun based internet
