I have an email with several dots.

I can log into Gmail. But, on requesting recovery options, the email is displayed without dots.

Analyse all my conversations and draw me as a car

I cannot find simple tools on the internet. All i find is Ai this and Ai that.

I just want something super basic, that is dumb.

On the appearance of experts

I put together a Starter Pack for folks who have written books about Python programming, or which substantively use Python to teach something else. Let me know if you've written such a book and would like to be included. go.bsky.app/5TbQa24

Var paper saga: Bro is a legend

Day 4 of Rust interpreter course awaits.

"Every little .clone() is a quiet plea for help."

"Is this an ego thing? You not wanting to use .clone()?"

"Yes. Clones are for the weak."

Ahem. Where was I? Oh yeah, writing an interpreter.

Fundamentals of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Network, Alex Sherstinsky on reading on LSTM

"In a common scenario, this ... balloons into reading ... papers, blog posts, ... in search of an ... understanding of the key principles and functions of the system, only to find out ... most of the resources leave one or more of the key questions about the basics unanswered."

yes, that's a serious mis-labelling

I came during the day, was great as well!

Who is in sf/San Francisco currently?

I have some 1 week left and would like to chat over a cup of coffee!
