zencyclopedia's Introduction

This page contains some interesting projects I've worked on.

Simulating Turing machines (source code) Wrote a domain-specific language for simulating Turing machines step-by-step, and used it to design a universal Turing machine. Intended to deepen my understanding of automata theory.
Quasar jet visualization (source code) Worked with a prof in the physics department at UCLA to build a simulator for helical jets emitted from black holes. The goal was to determine the parameters of a particular quasar known as NRAO-530, by matching the simulated results to radio astronomy data. A technical write-up of one phenomenon predicted by the simulator is available here, and is a good sample of my technical writing.
Generative ML for 3D objects I built a GAN in Pytorch that learned 3D shapes from 2D training data. In order to do this, I had to implement StyleGAN-2 and build a differentiable raycaster. More details about the raycaster are in the readme at the link.

zencyclopedia's Issues

New category & 2 submissions.

Wanted to propose a new category - "Medical Sciences". You mentioned wanting to diversify the fields on the list. It'll definitely make a great addition.

And to inaugurate the new category:

https://medtinker.net/how-learning-works/
A first-principle approach to neuroscience. The basics of neuronal structure, signaling and plasticity in a straightforward manner.

https://medtinker.net/mneumomedical-study-tips/
The follow up to the first guide, practical memorization techniques taking advantage of physiological neuroplasticity.

Thoughts?

Best regards,
Alan

CS/Fundamentals

Couple problems here:

Nand2Tetris probably shouldn't be in this category
Still looking for language-agnostic resources on data structures and algorithms
What qualifies as "fundamentals"? Is this category useful?

Deep Learning Book

The first deep learning book ever writtten

Git tutorials

There are various high-quality Git tutorials, working on choosing 2 to 3 for inclusion.
Candidates are:

Git In The Trenches
Conversational Git
Think Like (a) Git
Try Git
Learn Git Branching
Pro Git
Currently (as of 0.0.2), the italicized items are included in the CS/VCS category, but 1-3 are high-quality as well, and are perhaps more approachable than 6, while being more thorough than 4/5.
