I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

(arXiv:2301.09522v1 [cs.CV])" — A proposal to strengthen the marriage between SNNs and event-based inputs by considering anytime optimal inference SNNs, or AOI-SNNs, which can terminate anytime during the inference to achieve optimal inference result.

"Enactive Artificial Intelligence: Overcoming Male Gaze in Robot-Human Interaction" — The paper characterises AI design as a cultural practice; which is then specified in feminist technoscience principles, i.e. how gender and other embodied identity markers are entangled in AI. From this, the paper derives the conditions for Enactive Artificial Intelligence.

Double the number as yesterday and so double the fun? 😛

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.
