Hello Fediverse. So I'm looking for a #remote #opensource job or project in European timezones.

I am not good in writing CVs. So I'm just listing the projects I have done:

• #Rust(See https://codeberg.org/farooqkz/wakegp, https://github.com/deltachat-bots/deltachat-loginbot and https://github.com/deltachat/message-parser) #GeneticProgramming #Cranelift

  • #Python. These days I use it mostly for scripting. I used to write small web apps using #flask

• #Typescript #Javascript #ReactJS #InfernoJS. I used to work on https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop and https://codeberg.org/chooj/chooj (#chooj, #Matrix, #KaiOS)

• #Lua #Luanti. I contribute to CTF game. I also play it extensively!

I'm a #Linux user. I have good experience using CLI, and I have basic shell scripting skills. I also have a little experience with #FreeBSD

I am also good at reading academic papers, standards(like RFCs) and manpages.

I am up for working on #FOSS projects as freelancer or part time contracts.

Boosts appreciated :)

PS: I am also familiar with #CommonLisp. But I highly doubt if I can find a #Lisp job anywhere!

So my horsepower is doing experiments for evaluating performance of deletion mutation plus my parsimony pressure method. But well, there are still free cores.

So I'm doing other experiments with those. It's 3x400 demes. The parameters are the best found in experiments. Not all parameters are finetuned, yet. As I have extended the negative dataset to 8 words, the fitness doesn't excel like before. And of course, as I have increased the population(4x), it'll take a much longer time for it to converge.

Let's see how it'll go.

I would say both ends are wrong about LLMs. Some people overpower them to a level of super hype. Some say they are nothing.

LLMs are very useful as the new generation search engine when you don't even know the query. And also they are useful for code review.

For code generation? I second Stefano's opinion:

https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/114629514035718298

Also there are other ways to generate code even before LLMs using #GeneticProgramming. Like I saw a paper from about a decade ago which was about evolving a sorting algorithm with it.

So the new round of #wakegp experiments have started. I'm experimenting different values for deletion mutation. And all my 24 slaves are now working hard to deliver fruits for me.

And CPU temperature being over 70 means they have turned the AC off :)

Alright another round of experiments for #wakegp has ended. This round was for determining if adding the conditional SelectP instruction to the set will have any effect on both program size and fitness.

Another round of experiments which is still going on, is determining how deletion mutation affects both program size and fitness, that is prevents bloat. Earlier experiments show that the simple parsimony pressure method I invented, has positive effect on both fitness and program size, but when there is also deletion mutation, the effect is even better. In those experiments, deleting an instruction randomly from all programs(that is a rate of 1.0) has positive impact on both fitness and average program size. Now I'm experimenting to see if more than one deletion per program would be even better.

Alright finished another round of #wakegp tests. It seems my invented method for parsimony pressure is effective and also has positive impact on fitness. This confirms findings or opinions of other researchers that bloat has negative impact on fitness.

Now started another round which will end in ~11h to see the effect of deletion mutation on fitness and program size, if any. Current experiments suggest that deletion mutation has no effect on either, not this side or the other side.

PS: I just hope when I want to publish the paper, not having a bachelor won't be problematic. However I don't have much of a problem about my paper getting rejected. Publishing the paper is a side effect with benefit. Results are my goals.

I like productivity! So I've found the best #FFT size for #Wakegp. Some experiments about the #parsimonypressure method I have done shows effectiveness of my simple method. Now I'm experimenting on that to find out the sweet spot.

Regarding instructions, I already have done experiments. And the results were unexpected. Adding functions like Sine, Cosine, Logarithm and Square root have negative impact on fitness.

There are still a lot of parameters which I need to fine tune. Mutation rates, number of demes, tournment size, reproduction rate, crossover rate and a lot more. And I also need to experiment with #LexicaseSelection

After all these and when I have runs producing accurate enough programs, I should learn how to optimize the found programs to "summarize" them. I really hope compilers like #LLVM and #GCC already do so. I have doubts but I think most likely, they already have heuristics to summarize programs while keeping the logic.

God willing, when #repebble(the new #pebble #smartwatch) comes to market, I could try to see if I can use it there. Then #repebble would be the first industry application of my research.

Edit: Regarding the simple parsimony pressure method I invented, I'm pretty sure already someone has invented it but I haven't found it in the literature. Just like tons of other things I invent or discover in Math or CS and then realize it has already been discovered or invented.

Unfortunately, my horse power computer is now offline. And I am in another city so no access to it. It's likely that there has been a #poweroutage which is now very common in my country #iran

I am doing experiments with #wakegp to see if my simple method for parsimony pressure is effective. Till now, it seems that its effect is very little. I'm thinking of other methods for parsimony pressure such as bucketing and tournament selection(for size instead of fitness).

I am expecting to deliver results in summer, God willing.

Last few days I've spend most of my hours playing #Luanti on #JMA #CTF server. Having all 24 CPU cores busy for #GeneticProgramming (for #wakegp) runs has left me a good excuse to spend time playing :)

Just checked #geneticProgramming hashtag again. It's all my posts.

After my #wake_word_detection #research has delievered fruits, I have plans to continue works in the voice domain. I would love if I could train a #TTS model which has #British accent so I would use it to practice.

I was wondering if I could do the inference on #A311D #NPU. However, as I am skimming papers of different models, having inference on A311D with reasonable performance seems unlikely. Even training of these models on my entry level #IntelArc #GPU would be painful.

Maybe I could just finetune an already existing models. I am also thinking about using #GeneticProgramming for some components of these TTS models to see if there will be better inference performance.

There are #FastSpeech2 and #SpeedySpeech which look promising. I wonder how much natural their accents will be. But they would be good starting points.

BTW, if anyone needs opensource models, I would love to work as a freelancer and have an #opensource job. Even if someone can just provide access to computation resources, that would be good.

Geometric Semantic #geneticprogramming was a big breakthrough in GP in 2012. The relationship between syntax and semantics is - in one way - easy to understand and take advantage of. 10 years later (!), here is the GPEM special issue.
