The Glass Art Society Star Trek convention for glass nerds is heating up here in Arlington along with the weather!

I installed a forbidden doodle at Low Doubt bar as part of the Third Thursday Art Walk- so I shall have to get over to Fort Worth tomorrow.

Clifton Crofford made this "Seeds of A New Season" rainbow. That I enjoyed a long with a bunch of other art.

Raj Singh made a really neat torch that tunes different flame settings with your voice.

And the High Volume Oxygen customer map is a decent map of glass studios (that use oxygen concentrators). The usual city suspects abound :)

The forbidden doodle I installed generates its own wifi network. It was installed by the restaurant owner in a Texas y manner- hey no holes in the wall :)

👀 I just stumbled upon this old post where I create a tiny (the smallest I could think of) Generative Adversarial Network in #rstats #torch to understand how it works, especially in the context of #SyntheticData

The GAN learns to generate data from a Normal(1, 3) distribution from scratch

Happy anniversary to Soft Cell’s single, “Torch”. Released this week in 1982. #softcell #marcalmond #davidball #torch #insecureme #softcellhq #nonstoperoticcaberet #somebizarre

#Apple is sponsoring work to add a #CUDA backend for #MLX 🙃

https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx/pull/1983

Really looking forward to seeing the first fruits (🥁) of this endeavour - pushed, in particular, by https://github.com/zcbenz and https://github.com/awni

... and not least to play with it from #JuliaLang - hot-swapping between #Torch and #MLX via the #JuliaLang #FluxML NNlib abstraction layer.

J'ai la joie de vous annoncer que le package {tabnet} est de nouveau sur le CRAN. Il est maintenant fonctionnel sur le tout nouveau R 4.5.0 et il est prêt à recevoir de nouvelles fonctions.... #rstats #torch #mlverse

Hello,
I am thrilled to announce that {tabnet} is back on CRAN with version 0.7.0 ! A bug was preventing tabnet to run with R-devel, and now tabnet is safe to run for a long time! #rstats #torch #mlverse

Hey, I'm stuck with this PyTorch problem and no one has answered on Stack Overflow yet. Need help creating a new tensor by using values from a 3D tensor as indices for a 1D tensor, efficiently and preferably without loops. Any PyTorch experts around?

Boosts appreciated - thanks! 🙏

This is a very useful #torch function if your thinking tends to gravitate towards hypernetworks (as mine does for some reason):

https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.func.functional_call.html#torch.func.functional_call

It allows you to call the forward of any module, but to replace all of its parameters by a set of tensors of your own choosing.

The tensors get gradients so they can be derived from some upstream network.

The posts going around with various "go bag" ideas have the right idea but I'd throw in this - when buying batteries to go with your torch (flashlight) get ones with a long shelf life. Lithium chemistry AAs can have a 20 year shelf life, and CR123s (different chemistry according to the internet) can go 10.

(on flashlights I'd recommend having at least a pair, one that takes a generally easy to come by cell size like AA, and a good high capacity rechargeable. I am very normal about flashlights)
