Ooh, I decided to get a curiouscat.

Feel free to ask/tell me stuff! :)

I've been listening to Hospice by The Antlers on repeat the last two days and it's basically just my entire range of emotions.

...(g)oats?

(Also should mention there's two NB people in this flat, both of which don't really loudly burp either.

I'm just annoyed about him being a rude prick.)

Women and men burp. It's a fact. Science has proven that.

Then why in gods' name is the only person who's audibly burped in my house is my flatmate's boyfriend.

every time gogglebox clips are on buzzfeed I think I'll enjoy watching it, but it's so so bad

the main joke seems to be that families from the north are good to watch tv with.

i grew up in the north. it was shit.

Also, drunk coding is the shit.

"so I need the number from this.
why the fuck am I instantiating an object, let's just comment out ALL OF THIS and infer what the object is later"

my code is getting muuuuuch simpler

I'd be hyped that I'm writing algos myself, but I am honestly more hyped to be writing something in Rust that uses lifetimes and doesn't use clone.

my early code was just
"um I need this later. clone it."

and now the vast majority is just references

So I wrote it as a really basic pointwise k-means clustering approach, so it has a cost function that evaluates each point in a cluster against the centroid of each comparison cluster, and tries to boost the gaps between groups while minimising the gaps in each internal group.

And then I'm running it within a genetic algorithm to optimize the cost function.

and it's like 90% done after 2 days of work, which I am _hyped_ about

recent issue was needing high dimensionality clustering, which is relatively straightforward.

But I couldn't find one that would consistently group them the same so I could sequentially add data, which was frustrating, and the one I did find had a warning in it

"if you're on mac or linux, please increase the stack limit to unlimited, or it'll crash"

I'm really getting into how useful Rust is lately?

like I kept having issues at work that boiled down to
"I wish I could do this in R, but R is too slow.
I'll find a package that calls to C++.
Huh. None of them quite do what I want them to do, I want them to implement X"

And like with Rust I can just implement it myself.

And the one song I disliked was just because it was a VERY LONG heterosexual love song

Like I strongly encourage everyone to go see it if you can, it was so wonderful and emotional and I think I disliked like ONE song which is fairly rare for me.,

Like I LOVE Hamilton and I dislike like 3-4 songs?

ALSO I saw Wicked for the first time last night! It was my first time seeing a musical in person, and it was SO SO GOOD.
