Technical and hands on AI explainers with Keras and more. — I first read Deep Learning with Python (henceforth DLWP) some years ago and remember being utterly confused by it. DLWP is currently in its second version (a third, I think, is on the way), and LLMs are all the rage. A developer friend recommended DLWP as a way to get…

With Google’s Mediapipe and Three.js — Big Picture/Introduction The biggest drawback from VR ( for me, at least ) has been the need for a clunky headset, closely followed by the proprietary and expensive nature of the current efforts. So, I thought to look at AR in the humble browser as a way to dip my toes, so…

In the dawn of generative AIs and LLMs — If you’ve used chatGPT or other LLMs (Large Language Models), you will quickly realize that the knowledge and interactions distilled from these AIs are not quite what you would get from a human being. There are many missing pieces, but one that is crucial is the subjective experience machines seem…

With p5.js and Joy Division — The other day I was in need of a simple javascript library to programmatically make lines and grids, halfway through that project I realized maybe I had enough know how to make a digital art project I’ve had in mind for a while, one that is 100% inspired by Joy…

And Why Use It in the First Place. — Like many software developers, I’ve been using ChatGPT as a pair programmer, teacher, assistant, and general soundboard, experiencing both positive and occasionally not-so-good results. In this article, I will share a few notable experiences and interactions that have made an impact. Additionally, I’ll discuss how we can approach this and…

Towards informed trading strategies — What is backtesting ? Let’s say you have a “hunch” or theory on investing. While we’ll talk about stocks here, it could be anything (commodities, FX, Pokémons, you name it). You then “execute” your theory by buying, holding, or selling your chosen investments, and… you lose your money! Or worse, you make some money…

Maze generators, solvers and pathfinding — This is my second post on 3D Environments for AIs, which aim to provide a safe and convenient place to test and generate AIs. The first post covered much of the background and setup, but we barely scratched the surface. This post will delve deeper into actually giving a task…

Train, test and interact in a safe environment. — A lot of the currently perceived problems with AIs, I believe, stem from fear of the unknown. What if the AI runs rampant? What if the autonomous driving car runs you over? And what if a super-intelligent AI somehow decides that we should all be replaced with paperclips? Virtual 3D…

For beginners, with code. — It’s hard not to be fascinated by earthquakes, especially if you live in an active zone like I do ( Mexico/Mexico City ) and while I am mostly into finance related Data Science and AI, I thought it would be a good idea to shift from my usual into another…
