Build the future
raleighI recently decided that I’m shrugging my responsibility too much by only using an SPV thin wallet and started up bitcoin-core to run a full node. Electrum is a great wallet and I’ve used it for over a year now (before that I was even more irresponsible and just left my coins on Coinbase). I’d … Read more
Reiko and I went to the Taipei zoo to ride the Maokong gondolas. They’re a huge 4 Km ride up steep slopes and there are some clear bottom cars too so you can see below during the ride. The view of Taipei is really fantastic from the elevation, even without maximum visibility. There’s a cool … Read more

Recurrent Neural networks are helpful in natural language processing. For instance, if … Read more
So I recently was corresponding with a friend about Bitcoin. Since I haven’t mentioned anything about my interest in cryptocurrency, here’s the summary I sent them, reposted with permission ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Totally in agreement that it’s a radical departure from previous asset transfer mechanisms. Bitcoin is the first generation of tech that enables uncensorable payments in … Read more
Get a little faster every day. Today I got sick of autocompleting the node npm commands I sometimes use hundreds of times a day. No idea why I put up with that for so long. So I wanted to use the function keys like in an IDE like eclipse so I can build and run … Read more

Maybe I’ll come back in a week and spruce it up a little with pictures or something. Here were some off my raw impressions and experiences seeing a couple of my musical heros.
