"Improving Deep Regression with Ordinal Entropy. (arXiv:2301.08915v1 [cs.CV])" — An investigation of the fact that in computer vision, formulating regression problems as a classification task often yields better performance, and shows that classification, with the cross-entropy loss, outperforms regression with a mean squared error loss in its ability to learn high-entropy feature representations.

(arXiv:2301.08846v1 [cs.LG])" — A learning paradigm for data generation (e.g., text generation, speech recognition, speech synthesis, music composition, image generation, and video generation) which first generates Y' (an abstraction/representation of the target data, Y) from the source data, X, and then generates Y from Y'.

I talked yesterday about trying to decide whether we should give up on our 1000+ day streak on DuoLingo because stories were no longer fun (and DuoLingo seemed to be actually discouraging you from doing stories only ....)

We talked it over and decided that we weren't going to stick with it just for the sake of maintaining a streak 😛 So yesterday we switched over to reading comics in French and Spanish (on alternate days). It feels a lot more fun and I'm looking forward to today's reading ...

At this point, “The Last of Us” is the TV show I anticipate the most. Maybe that’s not saying much, but still … 😛

Without spoiling anything, I love how they’ve portrayed zombies and want to learn more about the world with each episode.

We are huge fans of Naughty Dog games given that we played through all of the “Uncharted” games and “The Lost Legacy” too as fast as we could … and loved the story of “Uncharted 4” to bits.

But I didn’t know if we’d like “The Last of Us” since we kind of shy away from killing games and based on the premise, that’s what it sounded like … Now, after starting the TV show, I’m wondering if we should go back and play the game too … Also, there’s apparently a remake and so maybe it really is time to try it?

Ugh, looks as if there’s a bug in my Mastonaut fork and instead of replying to multiple posts, I’ve been editing one post of mine … I hate bugs like that .. Now I don’t even know where to begin unraveling the mess I’ve created for myself 😕

I don’t have much of a network on here, but hi, hello, I’m an experienced front-end web developer and web accessibility specialist located in the US and I am looking for remote work!

I’ve extensively used React, am familiar with Vue and a handful of other front-end frameworks, and can learn just about any front-end stack. My happy place is building things that make the web easier for users.

i think it's an upside-down #borb day, what do you think?

Underappreciated skill of the day:

Keeping your mouth shut when it's not going to help.

This skill is not easy to learn, and I've personally found it practically impossible to master.

I'm looking for a remote #TechManager job. I'm based in São Paulo/Brazil, and had titles such as #SoftwareArchitect ("software design dynamics facilitator" as I liked to describe it) at a Brazilian Fintech, #TechLeader for the developer experience team at an EdTech startup, and more recently at a cyber security company. I've been working since the 2000s with #Python, and I'm interested in #DDD, #hexagonalArchitecture and #Sociotechnical systems.

When I was about ten, I noticed an infrared sensor in our VCR and became convinced that it was a hidden camera that my parents were using to spy on me.

I wasn’t a bad kid so I wasn’t worried, but I convinced myself that if I sang and danced for the camera, my parents would FINALLY see my talent and help me get on Star Search.

For the next month, I did super weird performances in front of that VCR until I finally acknowledged that they hadn’t provided any feedback on my skillz, at which point I determined that the only logical conclusion was that the camera wasn’t working, so I…

DISMANTLED THE VCR to examine the camera.

Once everything was opened up and pulled apart, I realized I had no idea what I was looking at so I just screwed everything back together with a bunch of loose, rattling parts inside.

About a week later, I remember watching my dad trying to play a VHS tape to no avail and silently thinking “this is YOUR fault for not seeing my full POTENTIAL, daaaaad!”
