A friend of mine recommended http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn as an easy way to get out of uncensored internet. I also found SoftEther which is a VPN project that provides a few VPN protocols. That way if one is being blocked you can try another. Another interesting project I found was tinc. This seemed a bit old. However, due to… Continue reading VPNs

Korean BBQ eh “doge”
Oh my! I went to Kogiya Korean BBQ in Annandale, VA. It was pretty good. I wouldn’t go there often (or probably by choice). It is a bit pricy for what you get. I tried to eat with the chopsticks, but I need practice (since I’m going to China). I ate some sort of pork ribs… Continue reading Korean BBQ eh “doge”
AI conspiracy
I know this sounds all conspiracy theory like, but it seems possible that people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk, who have recently made comments about the potential threat of an artificial intelligence take over, were only doing it so that there would be more articles written about AI and how its highly unlikely given… Continue reading AI conspiracy
Botball 2015
I’m going to be a mentor again for Botball. This time I’m partnering with David, Kevin and Stephen and we are mentors for the middle school that David helped at last year. So, hopefully that means we will have more success than I had last year with Kramer middle school. This weekend is the intro/get… Continue reading Botball 2015
Comparison Continued
I took a look at the R source code for the tukey test (HSD test) from the agricolae library http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/agricolae/index.html. The interesting thing is that they purposefully call round: round(1-ptukey(abs(dif[k])*sqrt(2)/sdtdif,ntr,DFerror),6) Also, they assume lm or aov. So, we know that they don’t like big numbers. However, the nice thing is that the R file shows how… Continue reading Comparison Continued
New computer, is it worth it?
OR I could just ask for a computer with more ram then I could just use slow mathematica or R or whatever and not care. Of course it might not be that slow for R since its not that slow it just takes lots of ram. Which makes sense since it is very memory inefficient.… Continue reading New computer, is it worth it?
Handcoded Tukey
So, it seems that if I want a fast tukey test I need a fast ANOVA. Which seems to be where the bottle neck is. If I had time I would code ANOVA and borrow a Tukey implementation in C. I think that all of these programming languages are doing it wrong for what I… Continue reading Handcoded Tukey
large numbers
Well I’ve been looking into using R to calculate the tukey test. I’m doing this because I have a 10 files of 200,000 integers (all around 5000 and above). That is about 200MB per file. So, right now the ANOVA with a post hoc tukey test takes about 1hr to run in Mathematica. THIS IS… Continue reading large numbers
Man vs Machine
Some people (not me) believe that we are the result of random chemical interactions. I wonder what the probability is that they assign to us existing. Because it has to be less than the probability of machine men existing. The existence of such machines would fit more into the notion of evolving randomly by fitness… Continue reading Man vs Machine
Bounty Hunting AAMAS
Bounty Hunting and Multiagent Task Allocation, a paper I co-authered with David and my Professor was accepted into AAMAS as a full paper! This is the first paper I have published where I’m the first author and at a respected AI conference. I’ll post a link to the full paper once everything is finalized. Its… Continue reading Bounty Hunting AAMAS
