I also think we need to be careful with space, because if we cause a stir beyond our knowledge... Just say bye bye to Humanity and all her civilisations...

we are on Air ooo , nothing hold us but gravity

On point bro. We should not go and open Pandora's box in our quest for knowledge...

CorGier:
Manned or unmanned? Last i checked Armstrong et. al where the last human to set foot on there.

All manned bro.

CorGier:
Well you made cogent points. But check this out; From 1969 to the proposed 2024 that's some 54+years apart to repeat a once successful mission.

As per talk of them invading us, maybe they are taking their time to observe our strengths and weakness first. I mean it's not like they haven't set foot on our planet before; what better strategic position to build a base on if not the heavenly body most closest to the Earth? The most sensible reason the US/Russia/China haven't been able to do this is because those aliens got on the moon first.

Apollo 11 wasn't only the mission that landed on the moon, I think we had 5 more, and like I said above the congress became bored so it was scrapped.

Any alien civilization that is capable of interstellar travel will obliterate us within a twinkle of an eye. Although I don't believe intelligent aliens exist.

DapperGuy:
They are becoming active again. There are plans afoot to send American astronauts to the moon in 2024, and to Mars in 2030.

Sure. But only if Jebediah Kerman (Elon Musk) doesn't beat them to it before then.

CorGier:
Or there's more to it than meets the eye. Some conspiracy theories have it that the Americans were never on the moon in the first place. Others were of the opinion that they were warned sternly by members of the third kind to stay away from the moon and never come back. Some classified images from Armstrong's body cam showed tracks on the moon that have been present before their arrival. Some say there's serious alien mining activity going on on the other side of the moon till date.

Scientist even believe the moon to be very rich in minerals including Gold. If not for anything, at least money should be a motivating factor right? I mean these are the same Americans who started a war just to steal oil. Rather, they chose to focus their attention to Mars. Something just doesn't feel right.

I once believed the moon landing was a hoax too or an attempt to bankrupt the soviet by engaging them in an impossible mission. But when you consider the events that happened then, coupled with the remnants of the tools used, we can conclude that there is a great chance that the moon landing actually happened.

About the blue guys mining the moon, that is absolutely ridiculous. The moon is a dead rock and a failed planet so there is nothing interesting on it compared to other planetary bodies. Consider these, if they are mining on the moon, what is probably stopping them from invading us and continue their mining activities in an increased order of magnitudes? Another thing is there are more rich asteroids than the moon out there. There is one asteroid in space that is so rich that a successful mine can generate an income where every individual in the world will receive about 100 billion dollars.

Lastly the Americans are still focusing on the moon. In fact if boeing and their SLS doesn't disappoint another moon landing is scheduled for 2024. Elon Musk is the one obsessed with Mars.

Never will I reply any lady that types with broken words or idiotic abbreviated spelling... That's one of their tells.

Elsueno:
LMAO, I promise u 10 million naira or 50k dollars if Nigeria achieved or close to achieving this by themselves in 10 years

I double that...

CorGier:
Why not tell the world why no human has been able to set foot on the moon again since 1969?

With the way you Chinese scorch the ends of the Earth ravaging and scavenging every natural resource in sight, one would think you would have shipped mining and drilling equipments on it by now, not some robot to hoist a damn flag.

simply because it is damn hard. It was only achieved back then due to fierce jealousy.

Dottore:
The development strides of this communist country is second to none. They take a decision today and execute it within the shortest possible time.
The USA is only ahead of them in technology because China hasn't been able to achieve self sufficiency in microchip production. They are still struggling with chip technology.
Once the Chinese records major breakthrough in chips, you will see that USA technology dominance will be history

Nah. I think the US is lately lazy because they are bored with their dominance. Let china achieve anything substantial and you will witness the US Ingenuity once again. Don't forget they went to the moon to topple the USSR's space dominance and once they won that, they became lazy and less interested in space.

One of life mysteries I don't think I will ever understand.

azawuoba:
nice list please add the following

Jonny drille
Wurld
Ladipoe
Brymo
Asa
Beautiful Nubian
SDC
Oxlade

infact all Alte Gathering

Oil dey your head bros.

Took a long time to wrap my head around the idea of recursion. Socket programming on C++ was even worse than my struggle with recursion.

blacknp:
Next time more shooting at the coup plotters.

Jihadist BMC crew and fake masonic wannabe please get off my mentions!!

SilverNorGold:
Although I am an avid supporter of President Buhari cos of his many stellar achievements, honesty and integrity, it's things like this(his softness) that's making me not very happy with him. Why sit and watch wicked elements and fake news purveyors run this country aground? What's stopping him from declaring war on enemies of Nigeria and fake news merchants?

President Buhari is TOO SOFT for my liking.. If he were Obasanjo or Yaradua or Goodluck Jonathan, would criminal elements like Sowore, Aisha Yesufu and their cohorts dare attempt one quarter of the nonsense that he (President Mohammadu Buhari) has tolerated from them?

This is sad.. President Buhari should do something to nip this nonsense in the bud as quickly as possible before it gets out of hand!

And by the way, what happened to the Social Media regulation bill? Seriously, I am not happy with the way things are going.. I just hope Nigeria survive the wrath of these fake news vicars before PMB comes up with a decisive solution.

May God help Nigeria.

Bros, I honestly didn't know that deluded elements like yourself still exists. If you are really serious about this shite you wrote above, then you seriously and urgently need help.

HenryDion:
If there was a beginning, where was God dwelling before creating the heavens?

Let's think about the following..

A computer scientist creates a super computer and installs a massive simulation software on the computer, inside this simulation there are beings existing who the computer scientist (their creator) can surely interact with from outside the computer without the need to enter into the computer and the simulation. If this is possible don't you think the supreme being is capable of more than this?

ibromodzi:
Alright. You work as a data scientist?

Nah. I currently work as a software dev (for the money anyways).

Juicethekid:
Wow thanks can you create a whatsapp group.for Machine learners and Artificial intelligence enthusiasts?

I am not really active on WhatsApp. We can always discuss here.

ibromodzi:
Good morning bro. Do you have a fiverr account and can you handle an NLP project that requires web development experience. A potential client is currently discussing with me but my hands are tied to some other projects right now. Let me know if you are interested so that I can refer him to you before I decline the offer.

No I don't have a fiverr account. And minus that self I am currently tied to deliver a project at work, so I am not really available currently. Really sorry.

Acecards:
I am currently running my second degree in mbbs, I don't know if I will be able to do both. I want to add a skill by all means to my studies. I need someone in the same situation that would be like a support structure for me.

That's good. I understand your situation well. Combining med with programming is not a trivial affair. May be you can try program during breaks ... but goodluck anyways.

Juicethekid:
bro please update us on your latest.experiment
am following

Very soon bro. I've been busy with work lately. But I can tell you I am currently working on the contra Nintendo emulator on my pc to work perfectly with reinforcement learning. Once I am done, training will begin and I will duly update the thread or make a new one.

Acecards:
I don't oh and I'd really love to learn. I guess you have switched careers (IT) already...

ooh, what's stopping you then? Sure I have switched, although not totally.

Acecards:
I guess you don't want to mention it, well I studied Anatomy

Same.... Don't mind me. That was a lame attempt to comply to the faceless nature of this place. Do you also code?

Acecards:
you studied mbbs ? Please pardon the question just curious as I just stumbled upon your thread on Artificial intelligence

mbbs no. but something close.

Predstan:
Hi, Have you tried the TF-Agent for Reinforcements learning? You may want to try look that out. It makes things faster and easier.

No I haven't. Although I have seen it in action in some projects, and I am very impressed by the abstractions it provides but I majorly work with Pytorch.

Hassanmaye:
Do they write class of degree in Medicine certificate? I thought they just write bachelor of medicine and surgery, and please does class of degree matters in medicine? I don't think so, once you are certified medical doctor you are good to go.

The man studied anatomy. And that also proves my point. No matter how average you scored in your final med exam, once you are above average you are a doctor, no BS ranking. There goes a joke "what do you call a med student that graduated at the bottom of his class or that got C throughout" ?

sammirano:
That skill you just mentioned is contingent upon your IQ, that is why some people will go to school and earn a first-class and others will get 2.2. Like it or not, there are some skills some people cant acquire because they are just mentally lazy and incapacitated. They can't help it.

Partially true.
Graduating with 2.2 doesn't necessarily mean low IQ !!. I had a lecturer in medical school teaching Anatomy, the guy graduated with 2.2 and he was employed as a lecturer in his first week as a NYSC corper with a pre-contract. They obviously saw something in him that his certificate wasn't showing.

The truth is that the education system is broken. Einstein once said "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid", and that is exactly what the education system does.

sammirano:
Hello? Which first class? University of ibadan or babcock. Know what you are doing.

Boss, ranking of grade, school or any other BS does not really matter in the real world. What matters is skill.
Judging people by ranking especially when it comes to education is complete BS.

sammirano:
True talk. 2.2 is like no grade.

First class also like no grade especially in Nigeria.

saheedniyi22:
I have been enjoying this thread so I have lot of questions.
Enceladus,ibromodzi.

1) Google colab: should I be worried at the data(Internet) usage especially regarding downloading datasets(large ones especially) and even building the models.
How much data should I be looking at on average(according to your work).

Downloading to google colab doesn't incur any data cost. As long as you are not uploading the dataset to the runtime from your pc. You can download up-to about 100 GB of dataset.

Drybones:
Do I need to know the basics of each model (,like RNN,CNN and co) before I go into the software (tensorflow??)

Yes. Having a solid knowledge of the model inner workings helps you formulate the problem at hand efficiently, it also helps you tweak the problem to the chosen model strength amongst other benefits.

Say for example, CNN majorly performs convolution operations or feature mapping on the inputs to extract features and what RNN does is to run each input through a loop, keep the output and use it as a variable for the next input.(i.e the current input is dependent on the previous input). Armed with this knowledge, it becomes obvious that a rnn is more equipped for a sequence prediction task while a cnn is better used for an object identifying task.

Nice one really. The sọrọ soke génération rightly at odds with the corrupt gbẹnu sọun generation. Enough is enough.
