00:02 theBear heh :)
00:02 GargantuaSauce home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OELxDGtESMI
16:45 Somelauw I want to get started applying neural networks to problems. What are good applications of neural networks for programmers new to them?
16:48 GargantuaSauce categorization
16:48 GargantuaSauce what kind of nn are you making
17:12 Somelauw Something for problem solving.
17:12 Somelauw Maybe make robots do things
17:16 GargantuaSauce sounds like you need to do some reading
18:02 Curious strugles to get http://image.diku.dk/shark/sphinx_pages/build/html/index.html to b
18:03 GargantuaSauce let me guess, boost
18:03 rgantuaSauce clicks installing instruct
18:03 GargantuaSauce dingdingdingdingding
18:03 GargantuaSauce we have a weiner
18:06 MrCurious yeah boost
18:06 MrCurious pretty sure i have system installed boost libs
18:06 GargantuaSauce hahahahahaha.
18:07 MrCurious that means there is a programmer in this world who should be kicked in teh nuts
18:07 GargantuaSauce its funny that they say "1.45 or higher"
18:07 GargantuaSauce as if a newer version isn't going to break the interface
18:08 MrCurious it fails out the gate not able to find a shark.h file...
18:08 MrCurious 1.49
18:08 MrCurious seems higher
18:09 MrCurious could go out on a limb and guess documentation is out of date
18:09 MrCurious wonder if there is a tagged stable release
18:09 GargantuaSauce boost is the source of about 3/4 of the compile issues i've had for third-party libraries
18:09 GargantuaSauce but it sounds like you're having more fundamental build system issues
18:10 GargantuaSauce are you invoking cmake from the command line?
18:10 MrCurious yup
18:10 GargantuaSauce try using the UI and messing with the options it reveals there
18:10 MrCurious because ccmake bitches it is incomplete
18:11 MrCurious (but i agree. boosed is a blessed curse)
18:44 MrCurious seems their instructions are trash. check out the tagged version of 2.3.3
18:44 MrCurious and things magically WORK
18:53 MrCurious and now boost is incompletely installed GargantuaSauce ...
18:53 MrCurious psychic much?
18:54 GargantuaSauce hehehe
18:54 GargantuaSauce just think, you could have implemented 2 or 3 ML algorithms in this time ;)
18:55 MrCurious i also had to go to a diff page. seems i had a old? shark main page or build page
18:56 MrCurious i take that back. i think now it was user error on my part
20:34 MrCurious and it built!
23:04 rue_house what the hell are you lot on about?
23:05 GargantuaSauce terribly bloated libraries
23:05 rue_house aaaah
23:05 rue_house one that only the developer can compile?
23:07 GargantuaSauce one that will only compile after the appropriate rituals to the gods of sauce have been completed on a conjunction between jupiter and venus
23:09 rue_house not the ones that are dependent on libraries that you need version of that aren't available and whos dependencies are only found on ftp sites that are no longer up
23:09 GargantuaSauce no but the arcane template error runes must be consulted in the process
23:09 rue_house haha c++ templates?
23:10 rue_house I'd not even go near it
23:10 GargantuaSauce the library in question is boost
23:10 rue_house its developer specific, it'll only compile for the origional developer
23:11 rue_house hmm, want to play, need to eat
