So I'm currently doing research for a machine learning project I want to implement. Outside of work for free online courses, I've only ever done linear regression, both from scratch and using scikit-learn. I learned that doing what I want to do would require neural networks (deep learning, which is best done with a GPU). I have a few questions:

   1. if I'm using prebuilt models (the app consists of determining the probability that a song is X genre) do I need a GPU? I know I'll still need tensorflow (the lib I'll be using).

   2. What is the typical protocol for setting up AI-powered apps like this? This is the first time I'm doing this

   3. If I need a good GPU, who is the best afforable host?

Thanks in advance

I'm making a multiplayer game. I'm just about done. I've got the mechanics worked out, I just need to handle latency in some way.

The game: tron lightcycles, but to turn, the user must solve a math problem.

What I've tried:

   1. Update game state for every player every time either player changes direction. Why didn't it work? Not the best way to handle it (also got that math wrong somewhere, and the undraw function would leave gaps in player trails)
   2. Update game state for every player every 100ms. Why didn't it work? Player 1 and player 2 are running different instances of the class that is supposed to update game state, and I can't share the instance between the two

Stack: Python/Django, PostgreSQL, javscript/jquery

I need help. Can anyone help?

I've been working on Zealchain for the past 3 months and I've finally gotten to the point where I want to share it.

I created Zealchain not only so that poor folks can lift themselves up, but also so that marginalized communities can share wealth within the community.

Zealchain consists of two products: ZEAL, the cryptocurrency, and ZNET, the Zealchain network.

You can buy ZEAL at https://altmarkets.io/trading/zealbtc. Alternatively, you can mine ZEAL with the wallet downloadable at the site (or use other mining software).

ZNET can be thought of an alternate Internet. It is, technically, called an alternate DNS root. Essentially, sites on ZNET can only be accessed with the ZNET chrome extension.

Registering a domain name on ZNET costs anywhere between 20 and 50 ZEAL, depending on your TLD.

All sites registered on ZNET are included in the ZNET directory. Through this directory, individuals and companies can find and support businesses from marginalized communities.

ZEAL code: https://github.com/mikejohnsonjr/zeal

ZNET chrome extension code: https://github.com/mikejohnsonjr/znet_chrome

The code for the registrar and alternate DNS root are proprietary.

I'll be open sourcing payments with ZEAL soon.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

P.S. I am unemployed and am looking for remote work. Please send any leads you have!

And why hasn't anyone created a service that humanizes the naming?

The freenode subreddit on reddit has less than 200 subscribers. Imagine if every programmer knew about freenode. We would have such a rich exchange of ideas, and probably better open source software.

Also, "cultural role player"

Gangstalking programs are "antiterrorism training."

Blackwater (now known as Academi) is a key organization involved in gangstalking -- one of many.

Two friends told me that people use steganography tools like OpenPuff to hide illegal porn in seemingly innocuous images. One friend told me that ebaumsworld has archives of child pornography. After being told this, I decided to start a project that focused on detecting whether or not an image had a hidden file in it (steganalysis), and eventually seeing what that file is (as a movement to spread awareness and stop the sharing of illegal porn). Recently, another friend of mine told me the only people still doing steganography are people using botnets that do CNC commands across the internet. What does hackernews know?
