Great news, I've approved for a loan by the Turkish government at a new lower rate.

Sweet!!! lol
That article was a shocker to me. didn't know those kind of rates even existed.

I guess Turkey is a very interesting place, these days.
Sapator probably wouldn't like that.
Yes, there is definitely high interest in Turkey.Quote:

Yesterday I started a journey coding an advance AI in Visual Basic from scratch, without third party libraries. I knocked out two classes today (AdamOptimzer and MatrixUtils), which took a few hours, so I'm cutting it to a class a day.
This has been planned for over two years, on and off, so you wont believe how relieved I am to finally be coding it.
There was gonna be some hard coded rules to assist with it's learning, but I decided to drop it, and let it learn on it's own once it's ready.
Was gonna call it rekramatoy for $hits and giggles, but I have another name in mind.
I'm taking it slow with the AI classes, testing them as I go.
Here are some console results:

All tests completed.
These tests check if the basic operations like initializing matrices, computing dot products, and updating weights with Adam are working correctly, and they are! Woo-hoo!
I'm ready to move on to the next class of the AI. :bigyello:
I wanna have it ready to start learning before I got back to work on January 7th.
I coded a great visualization to show everyone it's learning, which I can't wait to intergrate on the final day!
All joking aside. I really can't imagine how a financial system can work with rates like that. Seems like any borrowers would just go broke. But I don't know much about finance, except to pay my bills. I think the last time I got a loan was in 2002 when I refinanced my house.Quote:

What is the process of learning? Neural nets? Genetics? Making things up?Quote:
