What do you spend most of your time on these days? Do you have a side-project you'd like to talk about? What is the community working on?

#3Automated deployment systems where solar powered mesh network repeaters with two camera channels each (SBCs) come online and handshake/pair then push auto-configurations, SSH, lighttpd for IP camera images, etc. Then go to secure mode to lock it all down and configure it for operating mode.
Edit: think in trees, weatherproofed with solar panels

#6Working on my macOS image viewer app, VoidView. I hadn’t been serious about polishing it but now I’m adding some simple quality of life improvements, especially for making artists that use apps like Bridge or PureRef for displaying references happier.

#7Trying out a hardware side project this time. Figuring out a way to track your surf board or kite board once it's lost at sea during a session. It's a pretty interesting challenge.

#8Thesis.
It's a proposed classifier algorithm that is suppose to be better than Random Forest and XGBoost for classifying high dimensional data. The data sets are cancer data (prostate and myeloma). Unfortunately it's not going to be publish because I'd like to graduate sooner and that the software does not meet certain criteria for the journal we were aiming for.
The proposed algorithm uses two technique:
1. My forest consist of GUIDE decision trees by Dr. Loh. It is better than CART and M4.5 and such because it does not have the selection bias problem. CART and M4.5 are bias to selecting categorical predictor for node splitting. They're also bias on variables that enable more splitting so decision trees usually contain more levels. GUIDE is also aim at finding interactions candidate to split if it is statistically significant.
2. CERP by Dr. Moon. It makes the trees within the forest less correlated among each other. Much more so than Random Forest. Accuracy takes a hit as your correlation gets higher (obviously zero is the best). It also enabled ensemble of ensembles (ensemble of forests). Of course some of you may state that you can do ensemble of random forests but it is naive and won't help you.
I should be defending in this month or next month.

#10https://www.snapnews.win - a new way to binge on latest Hacker news stories.
This was my weekend project but I'm still working on it in my spare time.
The concept is simple: All news stories have a ticking timer. After it expires the news story is gone forever. There is also a clear now button at the bottom that destroys all the stories on the screen if you want to binge even faster.
Once the story goes away, it's gone forever. You will never see it again! So it's like the HN homepage that never shows you the same story twice.
Made with Vuejs and hosted on Aws lambda (serverless)
There aren't many options because I just uploaded the first version and everything is still pretty rough. It's just a concept site I made for my own amusement :)
