Tool to explore:
.data center
- Really like the Asustor : http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asustor-as1002t-nas-review,15.html
- Try to save the hard drive in my old Mybooklive: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Western+Digital+My+Book+Live+Teardown/26942 . Successfully take out the disk but unfortunately it has bad sectors. Not worth the risk then.
That’s for this weekend!
.sc lab – Revisit
Objectives:
- Portability
- Support experiments – AI / SC topics
Progress:
- Setup Linux (Ubuntu) virtual machine (based on Virtual Box)
- Install Anaconda package
- Install Eclipse & git-hub
.setup owncloud on dreamhost
https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/216472487-How-to-install-ownCloud
Hit several errors but here is how…
- Enable PHP 7.1 instead of the 5.x
- Under .php/7.1/ , add “extension = intl.so” to phprc file
- Run “killall -9 php71.cgi” to refresh killall -9 php71.cgi
Optimizing server:
- Increase upload file
- Command to scan files “php occ files:scan [userid]”
Setup audio player app:
- # php occ file:scan [user ID]
- # php occ audioplayer:scan [user ID] –debug
.machine learning – learning again…
.meaning
Whenever that happens to me, I remember a powerful experience I had with my father. Several months after I graduated from college, my dad had a massive heart attack that should have killed him. He survived, and when I asked him what was going through his mind as he faced death, he said all he could think about was needing to live so he could be there for my brother and me, and this gave him the will to fight for life. When he went under anesthesia for emergency surgery, instead of counting backwards from 10, he repeated our names like a mantra. He wanted our names to be the last words he spoke on earth if he died.
My dad is a carpenter and a Sufi. It’s a humble life, but a good life. Lying there facing death, he had a reason to live: love. His sense of belonging within his family, his purpose as a dad, his transcendent meditation, repeating our names — these, he says, are the reasons why he survived. That’s the story he tells himself.
.AI – deep learning
Technical notes:
- Re-present input as coefficients of a linear and sparse combination on basises (key input vectors) – encoding process.
- On unlabelled data, learning automatically for the basises, also known as features, using neural network. Instead of conventional method to specify the features.
- Then apply the conventional Machine learning on top of the transformed labelled data for the actual learning task
Remarks:
- Diversify your learning, read more on many topics (unlabelled data) – to implicitly form a way to see (encode)

.design evaluation
[ted id=1806]
I like this Ted talk very much. It opened my mind about design from not just the look but every of our senses. Would it be why sometimes we like to eat with our hand, to smell the tea before taking the first sip, etc.?
It related to the another talk about the benefits brought into the design by a designer with disabilities.
[ted id=2529]
The constraint forces the designer to highlight on the missing sense, which thus improves the design of products or services, not just for the disabled but everyone else.
So, observe your surrounds and feels your senses and ask what can be improved.
