Today I watched reddit.com Interviews Noam Chomsky and in the video you can see a laptop in the background that pops up various words. I’m not sure why these words are there, it looks like some sort of screensaver. Anyway, I wrote down all the words that I could see properly and then wrote a program to put them in the following table:
The more I learn about Artificial Intelligence the more I worry about actual human intelligence.
It seems like objective reality is constrained in significant ways, and I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to know or speak the whole truth.
I’ve started the ML class.
My notes are on my sixsigma wiki.
I was reading my default .bashrc file, and found the following:
# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi
This suggested that I wanted a .bash_aliases file for my aliases, so I set one up:
jj5@sixsigma:~$ cat .bash_aliases alias home='cd ~' alias jj5='cd /var/www/www.jj5.net/' alias profile='cd /var/www/www.jj5.net/profile/' alias chomsky='vim /var/www/www.jj5.net/profile/chomsky/index.html' alias henney='vim /var/www/www.jj5.net/profile/henney/index.html' alias lakoff='vim /var/www/www.jj5.net/profile/lakoff/index.html' alias norvig='vim /var/www/www.jj5.net/profile/norvig/index.html'
This is my basic “CMS” system for http://www.jj5.net/profile/.
I was having trouble integrating the latest version of Doctrine and CodeIgniter, but luckily I found an article replete with implementation package for that: Integrating Doctrine 2 with CodeIgniter 2.
I’m a little embarrassed to say that I only looked this up for the first time today. Although, I’ve been programming in JavaScript for so long that I must have known this years ago, but “forgotten” as I haven’t done much JavaScript programming in the last few years. Hey, at least I retained that niggling feeling like I had to look that up!
Important: JavaScript does not have block scope.
Basically:
var x = 1;
{ var x = 2; }
print( x ); // outputs 2
I’ve been working my way through the Code Igniter documentation and have the basic framework properly configured in Pcphpjs now.
I worked through the Getting Started with Doctrine guide this evening, putting my content in the Pcphpjs project. There were a few hurdles to jump over, but in the end I got the sample application working in PHP with SQLite.
Recently after my hosting provider hard-booted one of my machines the MySQL service started to complain “Failed To Read Auto-Increment Value From Storage Engine” when an insert was issued to any table with an auto increment field. I found the solution here, and it basically requires you to reset the auto increment key on the table, like this:
ALTER TABLE `table_name` AUTO_INCREMENT =1
I had to do that on all of my tables that had auto increment keys to resolve the issue.
I found the configuration setting in the documentation that will force phpMyAdmin to automatically track tables during and after creation. It is:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_auto_create'] boolean
And the default value is ‘false’. I updated:
/var/www/www.progclub.org/pcma/config.inc.php
With the line:
// JE: 2011-09-07: force tracking $cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_auto_create'] = true;
