Lead software architect and engineering manager. I used to do literary criticism and write plays, now I do #3dprinting, #generativeart #acrylicpainting and #knitting when I have the time. Have some #maths papers published, too. https://www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/

I found the fact that you could only move and turn slowly particularly unsettling
My #scifi #novel "1+1 Ways to Cook Rice: A Robot’s Guide to Starting a Civil War" is available again as #HTML for free at www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/files/1_1_Wa... (or Amazon if that's your thing www.amazon.com/Ways-Cook-Ri... )
My interface build from eons ago with relays and flipflops. Designed the #PCB s using #qbasic and #c. Driven by the LP port of a #pc. Too fragile to ship to the new country. www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/jmc-interfac...
I've been making spelling / #maths exercises for the kiddos with fireworks, confetti, video, stickers and now #TTS to read out the maths problems and help memorise the times table! codeberg.org/csirmaz/lear... Sneakily introducing them to variables and symbolic algebra, too. #school #js #speech
By my dad and me: Enumerating extremal #submodular functions has only been done for sets of 5. For 6 we generated 360 billion of them and provide the first reasonable estimate of their total number. www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/13... in Recent Advances in Scientific Computing & Applications
What if AI became your product management co-pilot? @RahulVir.bsky.social shares the Stanford framework that helps PMs automate workflows while staying human-centered.
Snow White is a Tree in Celtic Stories. A short literary criticism piece because I still like Levi-Strauss www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/lit_blog/202...
My #openscad preprocessor is on #codeberg with the full reference! Apart from providing an OO #python interface, it has additional algorithms like polyhedra from heightmaps, tubes, and direct-to-stl export. codeberg.org/csirmaz/open... Full reference: csirmaz.codeberg.page/openscad-py/...

Unearthed my #qbasic solitaire implementation (all ASCII) for #msdos that had an autoplay feature. The source and docs are on #codeberg; an exe is also available for #dosbox .
Struggling to get a continuous score when your training data only has categories? Elod Pal Csirmaz's new article reveals a clever trick. Learn how a low-capacity neural network with a special head learns thresholds from categorical labels, providing a practical method for continuous scoring.
Spent 90 minutes to try to create a basic glass-like object in #blender 4. It also kept crashing on debian. In the end downgraded to 2.67 and completed this picture for localhost:8002/tech_blog/20... . I wish the new versions had a "classic" interface for basic texture settings.
I had a PHP homepage decades ago, then added a wrapper to pre-generated the pages and have a static site. Now I migrated my blogs into it, and I find it fascinating that I can have two blogs with yearly post lists, previous/next navigation and post pinning with ~50 lines of #PHP code. #web #blog
I'm toying with the idea of getting a #3dprinter that can automatically switch filaments. Is there a #slicer that can use color info in e.g. OBJ files to print in different colors?
How do you train a machine learning model on something that's not there? đŸ«¥ This research note shows how to use low-capacity networks to, for example, predict the severity of an infection on a scale based on information on just rough outcomes in previous cases. www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/tech_blog/20...
It all started when Base II (there had been no contact with Base I for some years by then) decided that we should go and see what Europans would do if we tried to take some of their stone. No known civilization had ever met a Europan in person www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/story-defenc... #shortstory #fiction

Added lots of updates to my learning tools as kiddos use them. github.com/csirmaz/lear... has reusable web-based tools to #school age children (~5 to 9) with #maths and #spelling. Simple, hackable code with #CSS and vanilla #JS and static resources & can be served directly from #GitHub.
Recently I have become interested in what it would be like to live in 4D: I'd like to render a 4D landscape on canvas. So I am developing a software package in #python to do various geometric operations on arbitrarily-many-dimensional points. An intro is at www.epcsirmaz.co.uk/tech_blog/20... .
"Comfort" #knitting and #acrylicpainting complete with a #perl script that calculated the knitting pattern best approximating a circle. See www.postminart.co.uk/173/comfort/ for more. #art
I was years old when I learnt that designing and #3dprinting a Death Star and then sufficiently sanding it down turns it into a poke ball #pokemon
