Experimental brain-like computing system more accurate with custom algorithm

An experimental computing system physically modeled after the biological brain “learned” to identify handwritten numbers with an overall acc

With the type of co-design used in this study — hardware and software developed in tandem — nanowire networks may ultimately serve a complementary role alongside silicon-based electronic devices. Brain-like memory and processing embedded in physical systems capable of continuous adapting and learning may be particularly well-suited to so-called “edge computing,” which processes complex data on the spot without requiring communication with far-off servers.

Awwweeee 🥹💖💖💖 I am so glad I met you!

reblog if you've made a good friend on tumblr.

alright! setup's all done. studyblr discord assembled! join for motivation, tip sharing, etc etc!

also for a lot of photos of my cat. we'll also do game nights, study sessions, note circles, all that fun stuff.

Life update 🌟

Hello everyone, I have been missing in action for a couple of months, and I haven't really explained myself properly... I have hinted at having some big life changes coming my way, but it was way bigger than I could've anticipated.

Basically, I have lost almost all financial support, so now I have to financially support myself, including paying for the scholarships (which isn't much since I am almost at the end of my Bachelor's degree, thankfully).

It was a very difficult situation, and here and there I really had to strap in to make it thru, but I believe the worst has passed. Now I am financially stable, but I am still struggling with balancing everything on my plate, studies and a full time job. Our curriculum is designed so you only have that on your plate + an internship, not a full time job also. All that combined with my not-so-great mental health... Yeah it's a struggle.

So yeah. I initially made this blog for motivation to finish my studies, but during this time my studies became such a sore spot for me, because all of it made me feel inadequate, since I really struggled to study as much as I've wanted to, and my schoolwork took a massive hit. I know it's silly considering my situation, but that's how I felt, and hell I still do. That is the feeling I have to learn how to deal with.

If you are in a similar situation - please know you are not alone. I know in a sea of pretty pictures and motivational quotes it can feel like you are not doing enough, but you have to live and learn by your tempo... Or your health will pay the price, which is something I am still paying. And hell, it ain't worth it!

Thank you for reading this, lots of love 💝💖💝

Hello all, it's me again

I just wanted to give an update and to tell you why I am off of the grid all these months

I have been dealing with toxic shame a lot, and it has been exacerbated by working a job that is not related to my studies and my poor mental health. There is an irrational thought in my heart that I am undeserving of my studies, and seeing all the positive/productive posts. I know it makes no sense... I have felt this way since I was very little, and the origins of these feelings are very complex, so I don't think there is an easy solution for this...

I am not doing better when it comes to this, but I can't just give in to these feelings!!! So I will try to be more active on here and also be more honest, because I know I am not alone in this struggle 🏵️ Might help someone get out of their shell too :> I know it's hard, but I shouldn't betray myself like this

School depends on obedience. Learning depends on curiosity. School kills curiosity.

When it's tough and when it's hard... Don't forget to thank your mom 🥰

Right to Repair Therapy

For me, right to to repair isn't just about ewaste, and preventing corporate gouging.

It's about mental health. Being able to fix your gadgets is therapeutic. Empowering. Good for the soul.

Today I fixed my expensive bluetooth earbuds. Their batteries couldn't hold a charge for a full hour. (Turns out this was due to a botched firmware update and totally Sony's fault!)

This is the guide I used:

iFixit

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds battery replacement

This repair guide will show you how to replace ...

We tried a course of new firmware but the patients continued to deteriorate (as the specialist predicted.) Surgical intervention was unavoidable. The patients are currently convalescing in the charging dock. The procedure was smooth and they will only have minor scars, but a full recovery cannot be guaranteed until they reach full power and take one last course of software updates.

Surgery was successful. The seams won’t be the same ever. But it’s only noticeable if I look for it.

In a world full of complex technology it's easy to feel small and helpless. And maybe I'm too much of an idealist, but I think that if everyone could experience the joy of fixing or modifying a gadget now and then we'd all be a little more open minded, a little more daring. A little harder to push around.
