September 29

Hello! Today was a chill day (kinda). First, I woke up, took a look at the clock, and mistakenly got a shock. I thought I was late. I wasn’t. I was actually about 45 minutes early. So then I dozed along until it was time to get up.

Once I got up, I headed to university, for my seminar in AI & Machine Learning. Today’s paper was about the generalize-ability of neural networks. Specifically, about how fast some models are able to generalize, w.r.t. VQA. (VQA = Visual Question Answer – today it was in the form of: given an image with some letters randomly distributed, is there a letter “A” left of a letter “B”?)
And it turns out, that if you only have little data, you are better with a layout (structure) specifically chosen for your question (which is kinda obvious (I think). If you choose the best possible model for a specific question, it’s gonna be better than the other ones. WHAAAAA??).
Also, I lucked out once more today. As usual, we were asked to present some of answers to the class. And I was chosen to answer the easiest one. What a time to be alive!

After all that, I went back home.

At home, I didn’t really have anything to do (after lunch, obviously). And as it is Monday, there’s a new edition of Artisanal Sudoku. So I did solve some of those. Actually kinda amusing. At least the time passes like that.
Oh, and also, I did use hinge again. Nothing important happened, but I did use it again, (since I didn’t yesterday). No matches still. :(

Then, at ~5, my mom and I went into the forest nearby. Sadly, they had to cut down loads of trees. Like 1/4 of all the trees in some specific areas. (Apparently, they all were infected, and really unstable. So to not get squished if there’s some gusts, felling trees, they cut them down (and probably to stop the further spreading of the mushroom &/ infection).
But boy does freshly cut wood smell good. It’s like nature pure. WHAAAA? I know, but it was really nice.

After that, we went back home, and then my mom cooked dinner, and I went back to my room. (I don’t even remember what I did then lol.)
Then, I joined my mom a bit in the kitchen (I cut some sausages), and then it was already dinner time.

As today was my sisters birthday, she could wish what she wanted for dinner. And she wished for salt potato. WTF? Why? She could have wished for everything. And she chose potatoes.

Anyway, after dinner, I had to leave for volleyball practice. Today, we were only 7 persons, but the practice was still quite good. And actually, my shoulder works nearly as it used to. For like the first hour, I hit a lot of balls, but it didn’t hurt a bit.
Only, during one drill, I had to hit loads of down-balls, and then I felt it a bit. Then I changed things up a bit, and it was mostly good again. NICE!

After the practice, I drove back home, and that’s about it. Back at home, I had some little minutes time, where I watched some YouTube, and now I’m writing (to) you.
That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

I checked again, and Caroline still hasn’t accepted my friend-request. But I checked: She didn’t like the last post of her (volleyball-)team -> she definitely doesn’t have Instagram anymore. This means, I’m in the clear now! Phew! (haha – massive cope)
Also, I did come up with a “good” (in a joking manner) reason to date me. Imagine this scenario:

She: Why should I go out with you?
I: I don’t have Instagram, so I have more time to spend with you!

All romantic and shit. I think, I’m gonna add something like that to my hinge tomorrow hahah. You know, also a change for my autistic research lol.
