Hitch hiking Through the Subconscious: A Journey with t-SNE and Logistic Regression

Yesterday in My Dream…

I told the driver of a car that I hitchhiked that I was doing a PhD in Computer Science.

(What kind of subconscious is this?)

The road was dark, endless. I couldn't see the end. So, I decided to hitchhike. Then, I saw a mini Turtle car—light green, safe-looking—so I trusted it. I held up my arm, and inside was another student. The driver’s seat? In the back.

🚗💨 Through the darkness, we drove, and we arrived in the city. Antalya, apparently. I asked him, “Which way do you need to go?” He said, “I need to turn right.” So, I got off at the intersection.

Then, I noticed I forgot my belongings in the car. My phone and a red paper bag were left behind. I went back and found them neatly placed on the sidewalk. How very considerate of my subconscious driver.

Logistic Regression in My Dreams?!

I had been studying logistic regression all weekend. Apparently, my brain decided this meant I was doing a PhD in Computer Science.

💭 This is why we don’t cram for exams, people.

To recover, we watched Güldür Güldür to reset our happiness levels. One quote stood out:

“If your conscious is a mirror, then your subconscious is the cover behind the mirror.” (Aynanın ardındaki sır.)

Profound.

You may want to watch how Turkish comedians view Trump as well. :)

How to Become a Millionair Using LinkedIn Overnight

1️⃣ Take a deep breath in.

2️⃣ Drop the “e” from millionaire.

That’s it. 💸😂

P.S. I should acknowledge my inspiration: A black van driving in front of me on I-64 West today. www.millionair.com 🤦‍♀️

P.P.S. My mental state was perfectly prepped for this joke after listening to this song 20 times: 🎵

P.P.P.S. Also restarted my Vitamin D pills (5000 IU/day), because, you know, forced richness starts with forced serotonin. 🌞💊

From Forced Happiness to Forced Education: Statistics Edition

My next goal? A forced education on statistics formulas. Time to drive pluripotency of my grey region neurons to wake up, proliferate, and make new connections.

I even suggested an algorithm to ChatGPT yesterday. It said, “This already exists. It’s called UMAP.” 🤡

This was as funny as ChatGPT asking me to verify that I am a human.

BRO, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Final Thoughts: Water Your Plants 🌱

Enjoy your Tuesday. Take your vitamins.

And remember: Water your plants, or they’ll use t-SNE to dimensionality reduce themselves into the void. 🌱
