I'm seeing more and more tweets and blog posts about #Mailpile.
I think we finally crossed a usability threshold, where folks are successfully installing the app and giving it a try.
Embarrassing bugs are being found in the process, but that's the name of the game, right! I'm happy with this.

My wife wants me to model the peak/off-peak energy costs into my proposed heating machine-learning system. This just got a *whole lot* more complicated.
Thinking is required. Possibly even *gasp* a blog post...

RT @lrvick@twitter.com: I finally started a spreadsheet to compare relative security, privacy, compatibility, and features of various messenger systems. TL;DR @RiotChat@twitter.com / @matrixdotorg@twitter.com is winning on all fronts. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-UlA4-tslROBDS9IqHalWVztqZo7uxlCeKPQ-8uoFOU/edit

OK, I can kinda put a bit of weight on it now. Probably will be fine by morning...
While I was sitting around with little yo do, I decided to make a small thing. Definitely not rigorous, but maybe interesting? You tell me :)

Ow ow ow. Without warning, I suddenly cannot put any weight on my ankle. Literally was walking across the kitchen and nearly collapsed. Wonder what I did...? Hope it's better tomorrow...

Maybe think about not organising on Facebook?

My my, the #FOSDEM devroom list is interesting this year. Maybe I'll actually get to some talks?

I hadn't seen this! I love it. "Self-Repair Manifesto" https://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto

So the data capture is up and running, logging temperature sensor values, last seen tinestamps, lighting states and of course the heating state, every 5mins to a CSV file.
Now we wait 2 weeks. That should give me enough data to train on...

Beer is helping me absorb the chapter on classifiers... #statistics

Maybe I should live-toot more of my statistics textbook reading...

I just learned that the "curse of dimensionality" is a thing in #statistics and I love it. My wizard powers are increasing!

Oh! I totally forgot (see?) relatively recently learning about the Pomodoro technique. Short version: set a timer for 20 minutes and do just one thing. Nothing else. No mail or Slack checking. Afterward, take a 5 minute break to do anything you want. This helps 1) decompose daunting tasks into manageable chunks, 2) give your brain a chance to replenish neurotransmitters and consolidate memories, and 3) remind you to periodically snap out of hyper focus and eat, stretch, go to the bathroom, etc.

Getting here was NOT easy. Holy shit, no. And itโs not โsolvedโ. I still struggle every day with a general inability to think the way people want me to. My goal here isnโt to tell others theyโre not trying hard enough (like I was told). Instead, I want to offer a little bit of hope and a different perspective than you usually hear, and to mention some coping mechanisms that may making things just a little easier for someone out there.

@GreyLinux I had a read but couldn't really follow it, to be honest. Try it and see :)
Gwmngilfen
@GreyLinux I shall await reports eagerly :)
Enjoy the holiday!

@GreyLinux I forget what spec mine are. Pretty sure they're 3.3v though. Have you already got the PCBs? Are they good quality?
Gwmngilfen
@GreyLinux (I actually only care about that so that it can learn that the heating should stay on *if* I stay up gaming, so the desk lamp is probably the only one that matters, the rest is a fairly predictable time schedule)
Gwmngilfen
@GreyLinux yeah I prefer not to rely on that, as my wife in particular tends to let her phone run down. PIRs are the way to go, once I get started with these pro minis.
For now I think the obvious solution is lights + a column for whether it's day or night. The model will learn that the lights are only useful when day==0 :)
