Having children can fill you with the most extreme joy, but simultaneously, melancholy at the stark impermanence of it all. Everyone warns you about how fast it goes by, so you try to cherish every moment, yet it goes by so quickly anyway. Then you try desperately to hold on, take photos, write journal entries, take videos, but as time goes on you reflect on them and realize that those too are but "dim shadows" of the moment, immortalized digitally but missing the richness of emotion, the technicolor of the moment. And finally, you resign to the impermanence, reflect on how you too were that toddler, and that sense of a permanent self is an illusion, but an annoyingly persistent one, that keeps dominating your life, until it's over. But if you are lucky, you may realize this for a moment here and there, and remember to be present, to soak it in, because this is it, the now, this moment, whatever it may be, is all you have.

Ira Glass elegantly touched upon the delicate tension creatives feel—a discerning taste yearning for its tangible counterpart. In this age, where digital symphonies intertwine with human impulse, tools like ChatGPT offer a dance between what we feel and how we express. This very sentiment, whispered from the heart and shaped with digital grace, hints at that once-vast distance now drawn close.

@vukosi Just saying total cases bundles the cases from the first and second wave into the figure. So Gauteng's 529 873 reported total cases tells us nothing about the scale of the current wave at a provincial level. New daily cases at a provincial level would achieve a similar result.

@vukosi Fair... Active cases probably really hard to accurately report on, but a proxy visualisation using a 14 day sliding window would still be useful. Just to give an idea of current hotspots.

Than YOU! Many kids in Africa learned to code convnets and recurrent nets thanks to your notes and examples. https://t.co/a9fJCTavuh

I regret to inform that we were forced to take down CS231n videos due to legal concerns. Only 1/4 million views of society benefit served :(
