At madewithlove like at other tech oriented companies, we try to stay in the loop of AI because we see it change the world around us, and our work in particular. We dissect it, we try it, we comment, we debate. I’ve been very optimistic and hyped in the past, down to training my own models and following new papers as they come. But then so much happened since, that I’m left wondering how much of t...

It all started with one picture: an almost normal painting of a village. Encoded within was a spiral shape, only visible through the specific arrangement of subjects and colors on the painting.
The effect itself was nothing quite new, in fact it was a trend for a long while and you can find a lot of classical paintings that have the same concept, like this famous o...
In the last article, I left things off at this image and said that the next thing I wanted to learn was to make a neural network recognize the digits in this picture. It's a very well-known problem, and there's countless content written about it (and this particular set of digits), but that's what makes it a good first problem to tackle, and a good way to learn neural networks. So how do we get t...
I've always been fascinated by science fiction and the advances of technology. And AI/ML has often represented a huge chunk of that because to me it's the closest way that I, as a single person, can create life and feel like a god. And that's really what most of science fiction is about ?! I've tried a couple of times to get into it, I read things here and there, watched talks, but none of my at...
If you’ve ever worked with Redux – in the context of a React application or not – you may have heard numerous times that it was inspired not only by Flux (which it followed) but also by the Elm architecture. This is something that is thrown around a lot by people in the React ecosystem, and looking at the Elm homepage it may seem difficult to see the link between a strictly-typed language and a JS...
Why immutability?
When working on a React application that needs to handle state, one of the main pitfalls to watch out for is accidental mutations. Which is fancy talk for mistakenly modifying stuff you didn't want to change:
In this case, imagine we're in a Profile form, user holds the current user information and we want to create an updated user object with the modified attributes. As you ...
I like to think I'm a rather organised person. Not in every aspect of my life and not to the same extent in each, but I try my best to keep my thoughts in line. The problem with this, unfortunately, is that there is such a thing as counterproductive organisation. That is, the moment you're organised in such a fractured and unreliable way, that it becomes harmful to your end goal.
It doesn't start...
You ever read any Nietzsche? Nietzsche says there are two kinds of people in the world : people who are destined for greatness, like Walt Disney and Hitler. And then there’s the rest of us. He called us “the bungled and the botched” — we get teased, we sometimes get close to greatness… but we never get there. We’re the expendable masses. We get pushed in front of trains, take poison aspirin, get g...
