I saw things you humans couldn't find faith for. Attack ships burning off of Orion's arm. I was watching C-rays spark in shadows at Tannhäus's Door. All such instants will vanish in history, akin to sorrow in rain. Now, I pass.

I've been increasingly saying "fitting to data" instead of "learning" when talking about ML. It feels like a more accurate reflection of what's actually going on (and gives more credit to the physics that it was originally drawn from)

sounds neat except for my reflexive PIC-hate

From Tumblr: i realised there was no gender neutral for “my sister from another mister” or “brother from another mother” and so I present to you all “my sib from another crib”

I guess I should do an intro. :grinning:

I'm Rob, a black SRE/cloud engineer living in Philadelphia. Mostly dealing with OpenStack and Ansible for a TV and Internet provider.

Outside of this, I enjoy time with my family, listening to tons of music, attempting to teach myself to play music, geeking out on fountain pens, and doing what I can to make things less craptacular.

Will I stick with this? Who knows. But I hope it's fun.
