I write about software, tech, and other random thoughts I have.
I was lucky enough to get an entry level position as a front-end web developer at Envano, one of the best digital marketing agencies around the area. This was just within weeks of graduating with an associate degree in web development and design. Fast-forward three and a half years, and I'm now a software engineer with experience working across the full development stack. Little did I know that I will…
K-means is a clustering algorithm used to categorize data that is unlabeled. It is a type of unsupervised learning (data without categories or groups). The goal is simply to find the groups in the data defined by K. The algorithm works by iteratively assigning each data point to one of the K groups based on the features provided. Some of the use cases for K-Means are: Pattern recognition Classification analysis…
I've come across various tools used for machine and deep learning, both good and bad. I decided to write a quick little blog post on some of the tools machine and deep learning you should be using. Tensorflow Tensorflow is an abstraction library that allows you to build machine learning programs with an easy to use API. It was developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team.…
Problem If you are using Floydhub to train your network you might run into the following issue: Directory contains too many files to upload. If you have data files in the current directory, please upload them separately using "floyd data" command and remove them from here. This occurs right before you are trying to upload files to Floydhub. It makes sense since you might have a large dataset…

Problem I was breaking my Elixir templates into a subtemplate but I was getting the following error: assign @conn not available in eex template. Please make sure all proper assigns have been set. If this is a child template, ensure assigns are given explicitly by the parent template as they are not automatically forwarded. Available assigns: [:event] My parent template looked something like this: <h1>All Events<…
What is this about? Over the next weeks I will go over how to use Gitlab CI from scratch. I will go over how to install and configure it on your server, run unit and integration tests, build and push Docker images, deploy code, and go over other use cases. I will assume you already use Gitlab as your repo manager since it's required by Gitlab CI. What is Gitlab…
I read a series of articles 8 months ago on a popular website called Wait But Why. The articles explain the types of AI, the force behind them, and how close we are to achieving true AI. Feel free to read the articles, they are easy to read and understand. The AI Revolution: The Road to Superintelligence The AI Revolution: Our Immortality or Extinction These articles made me think for…
Problem I needed to know how many files were under each directory for the directory I was on in Linux. A simple ls -la just gives you the number of files under your current directory, not sub directories. ls -la total 32 drwxr-xr-x 14 edgarpino staff 476 Jun 6 23:17 . drwxr-xr-x 17 edgarpino staff 578 Jun 2 15:03 .. drwxr-xr-x 14 edgarpino staff 476 Jun 6 23:17 .deploy_…
