Build the future
Well this one is baffling. I’ve got a new laptop and I’m trying to install Expo, a javascript React Native framework. After getting the LTS version of Node with NVM (Node Version Manager) – I found that the default Expo install command would freeze after a few seconds. Running it verbose offered little extra information. … Read more
I’ve been using native emacs for while now. I love it. So much faster than its interpreted counterpart. Building it is still a bit tricky though. I’ve used this basic process on WSL2 and on a headless server to compile without X11 support. The general build guide on emacswiki is very good and has a … Read more
I finally bit the bullet to level up from Windows 8.1 to 10, and did an in-place OS upgrade. So far not too bad. For reference, I still was able to activate Windows 10 automatically for free in Oct 2020. Totally expected I was going to have to spring for a new key, but I … Read more
Talk about long tail key words. If you found this page you’re probably trying to set up an insanely old Wacom Favo drawing tablet tablet from 1999 on Windows 10 and I bet you’ve tried a hundred drivers. I’ll spare you a long winded complaint about what an unglamorous schlep it was to figure this … Read more
I’ve been intermittently travelling vlogging for a while now and one of my biggest pain points for making new videos is getting the source video converted to constant frame rate. I’m shooting with a phone instead of a DSLR camera, and unfortunately my old Samsung S4 edge doesn’t have a constant frame rate option. As … Read more
I’m testing the new Tensorflow 2.0 framework and went to install the PIL or pillow image library I’ve used before. Unfortunately after installing it with conda I found out my Tensorflow library wouldn’t import. Did a quick google search and found out you can look at your conda install history with conda list –revisions When … Read more
So I tried using Caffe for some natural language processing and found it wasn’t well suited. While it’s great for image processing with convolution networks (CNN), it would take quite a bit of effort to add looping output to make a recurrent (RNN). Recurrent Neural networks are helpful in natural language processing. For instance, if … Read more
I’m setting up the latest OpenCV version from source since the Caffe dependency version installed doesn’t have some tools I want to add to my vision processing pipeline. I started with grabbing the latest version from github git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv Then I used the CMake GUI. Visual Studios 12 appears to be the latest buildchain … Read more
It took a fair bit of fussing with CMake, but I’ve successfully compiled Caffe from the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center. There does appear to still be an issue with a psudorandom generator in one of the linked libraries that will probably impair training new nets, but I can currently run existing models and compare … Read more
Crosspost from an ancient blogger account. Original post here: https://raleighc.blogspot.com/2009/07/google-voice.html Another post about a widget. sigh. It’s pretty exciting though. After months of waiting, I finally got a Google Voice number. If you’re not familiar, Google Voice allows you to ring several phones from one number, setup ring rule for which phone gets which call, … Read more
