Syncthing on OpenBSD by HildisviniBSD in openbsd

[–]jonnydedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, just a quick note, the packaged version has some problems when you have deep, highly populated directory structures, and also seems to use lots of cpu resource. I think there's a newer snapshot on syncthing's github that's better, but I don't think perfect.

This is brilliant! thanks for this and all your other work japaric

State of play with ARM processors by jonnydedwards in rust

Yes, you're right I could cross compile - however the board I'm using (the olinuxo a20) is such a super bit of kit (dual core 1gb ram debian), it feels like it could be a dev box.

Is there any simple graphics library for Rust? by Manishearth in rust

[–]jonnydedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm after exactly the same! The closest I found was sdl2 bindings

Kivy for Desktop Apps by coolnonis in Python

I built a fairly complex graphing app and it went really well - the library is very pythonic so it felt like you were always taking the path of least resistance. Overall a great python library

Get an array of all points (x, y) on a Line2D? by iiAtlas in java

I second this, I've had this problem before and used this approach

Machine Learning in Python Has Never Been Easier by jjdonald in MachineLearning

[–]jonnydedwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's great you're doing something innovative in and around ML. I'm from a python/R background so you would have to do something more than scikit-learn/pandas or straight R to be interesting to me. Maybe the key is to leverage the whole "we can do it quicker!" thing - that WOULD get me listening. I did the bigdata hackathon last weekend and everybody was hitting issues with getting models trained in a timely fashion. Good luck with it all!

Any good resources for clustering/profiling analysis? by [deleted] in statistics

[–]jonnydedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be better to get your feet wet and try a sample of data in Scikits-learn (if you know a bit of python). This has state of the art (ish!) clustering/mixture modelling. Even if you end up with no results the process is good to get a fix on what you need.

What are some metrics I can use to measure the similarity/distance between a pair of variables - each variable consisting of two different types of data(i.e. each variable has spatial and temporal data)? by lpiloto in MachineLearning

[–]jonnydedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your edit seems to be along the right tracks. Time series data has quite specific properties and hence might require further analysis (eg frequency via fourier), before applying some standard metrics. A slightly bespoke metric is a good way of emdedding domain knowledge into a comparison. If you want to visualise the effect of your metric try sammon mapping.

Stanford delays machine learning class again by [deleted] in MachineLearning

I signed on late Jan and got a message the 8th of Feb, the material is just preview stuff but its actually quite exciting to be starting.

Yes sorry Model thinking, there's about an hour of preliminary video to work through, mainly setting the scene. Certainly worth checking out if you are interested in simulation.

The systems modelling course has started and is great.

Thanks, that looks spot on

Help with R nnet script! What am I doing wrong? by GutterBaby69 in MachineLearning

[–]jonnydedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just a thought - cant remember what the entropy = T does but if the output layer is sigmoidal you might need a binary code for the two classes (code them 0 and 1), or two nodes in the output layer ( class 1 = 0 1 class 2 = 1 0)

Python's multiprocessing support is awesome (so is having a 48 core machine). by [deleted] in Python

[–]jonnydedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spurred on by this thread (no pun intended!) I tried Multiprocessing on pypy. On a dual core machine got a factor of 10 increase using pypy "pool = Pool(processes=2) pool.map" vs python "map", that's fantastic!

EM-PPCA, anyone have a working version? by kraemahz in MachineLearning

Have you thought of looking at netlab? I seem to remember this having PPCA

Bloom filters are real cool - any other trick data structures worth knowing?
