Kobacoff comes out again

or rather, is on the cards, because all other forms of learning statistics are not pure enough, and r is the master language. Python has problems ( see wes sction below) and lisp-stat is too solitary.

after the lisp books came out, we moved an inch. We read some, bumped into iit lectures, watched a bit of them, read some paip off github (it's all online now,  oh! why did I carry a pdf all my LIFE  ) , saw the code for a gps, felt it was too easily understandable hence concluded i must be some kind of genius,  relaxed, opened the old ex.hard disk, copied the lisp books out, tried to copy norvigs ai lectures out but failed,  wrote remarkably close to zero lines of code ( samuel jackson narrator voice : it was zero) .. and saved a thousand bookmarks across two laptops and two browsers. Drowning in information.

Shibin,otoh, is registering his company. Shibin is my spirit animal .

Oh, we installed CLIPS ( worked ! ), installed PyKE  (example didnt work), and asked chatGPT to teach us clips, which it did phenomealy well, in one short message. We also learnt that rules are stored in a trie-like data structure, to make searching and collapsing easier.

at some point in the MIDDLE of this, the Wes McKinney book came out, as usual, overfocus on the first step, installed conda, messed up the rest of my pip installs, now aws client stopped working threatening work, and that put an end to that

if only i could've convinced myself that all packages that were missing I COULD've installed by stringing their names after _pip_ _install_ <insert package name here> 

you'd think that after 22 years of shovelling in the industry, i'd have that much trust in my own abilities ...

but no

so Kobacoff might not come out again if wes can be pipp'd

what is this disease, to go sideways at the first hint of progress ?  it's the bane of my life

drools was in the mark watson  java book - which was the only meaningful thing i did during my 'gitanjali break'... mark watson ai java is ,but norvig aima , but in code... 

so, there's some pickin's there ?

where do all these pickins' add up to ?

a game engine ? and will i make the platform for the same ?

why not read a game engine book and be more confused ?
