Well, I finally set up an account on twitter and linked my blog feed to it, so you can follow me on twitter as well. Here’s the link: http://twitter.com/BogaertsJan or @BogaertsJan for the short version, don’t know yet how that works.
For those who have been wondering what the bleep I have been up to for the past few months, well check out the video: Looks pretty cool he? So, what happened? Well in short, I took the neural network designer, removed everything complicated from view that remotely had anything to do with ‘neurons’ but kept [...]
For a while now, I’ve been working fairly intensely with the designer and it’s many structured editors. Long enough for me to get a feeling for them and find a good rhythm in working with them. So I thought it perhaps time to put down my experiences and ideas for future improvements. To tell you [...]
Man, I was almost ready to give up on this one. I had been trying to find the cause of a very peculiar bug for months now without getting anywhere. It occasionally caused all results to be dropped without any error, deadlock or exception to trace down. Because it only happened occasionally, under varying conditions, [...]
I accidently lost all my images on the first few posts. Apparently they were still stored on the old site, which I had just shut down (domain name forward actually). Oeps… At first there was a bit of a panic, since the post I was looking at was exactly a year old, which could mean [...]
Note: Deprecated! Perhaps a mid-dev cycle release would be appropriate this time round, since some changes were done to the core and some people might be interested in taking a peek under the hood. Here’s roughly what’s changed: There’s a new expression: the LockExpression, which does what you would expect: lock 1 or more neurons [...]
I just spent the last 3 days chasing down 3 deadlocks that were teaming up against me. Man, I hate deadlocks. They were definitely the biggest obstacles so far in the development process. Simply because their origins are so hard to locate. And that, even though they are always caused by the same type of [...]
Just a small mental burp, while this thesaurus is (still) loading. In case you are looking for a mental image to visualize this whole concept, try this: Resonance. When a link gets activated (for instance, the one to the very first neuron), it creates a resonance that triggers one or more other neurons. This excitation [...]
The new thread locking algorithm is beginning to work and it looks fast, real fast. Yes
