  • just a tip when using neural networks. In the video, I noticed after every bug you fixed, the editing at least made it look like you spent ~50 hours training the RNN again. Usually, you can use smaller datasets to train the networks and see if the output is slightly acceptable before spending the 2 days training the network with the full dataset.

  • Ok, one major tip: natural hand writing is in fact a 3D action not just 2D, meaning that the writer exerts higher and lower pressure vertical to the paper surface as they write, which results in the pen line becoming thinner and thicker at different sections of a letter! Next try to build the Y-axis movement into that robot!!

  • I feel like, in this case, a forensic handwriting expert being able to make a profile for your handwriting bot is a feature, not a bug. After all, you're *not* trying to make 20,000 unique sets of handwriting, you are trying to make *one* set of handwriting that is consistent across 20,000 use instances. And if he sees enough shared characteristics between the different pieces of writing to work out a profile, that means they are identifiable as having been written by the same person (or, I guess, robot). Which means that you succeeded in creating a unique and consistent handwriting style

    • There's two reasons why investing a lot of time to gain small benefits: - If you repeat the task, there will come one point where your work amortizes itself - You probably invest all the time (i.e. 12 hours for 10 minutes faster tasks) at a point where you have it available and you also have fun with it. I've done the same for my collagues with some forms - they may only save a couple of minutes but we all get done faster and have less repetitive tasks since they're done automatically.

  • Stuff, I know that you're making these videos available to a wider audience by toning down the science, but I would absolutely love it if you made follow up videos where you really got into explaining all of the theory, programing and math going on here. You seem to skip over a lot of integration hell, but I think that's the most interesting part. All the pieces you wouldn't think would go wrong, and how to fix some of them. Sincerely, the next generation of engineers that loves what you're doing

    • Yeah it would be great if he had a more technical discussion of the coding for people with some training. It would be a huge teaching/learning resource. As it is his videos have a bit of the "look how clever I am" vibe.

  • So I love the realness of this video. As a fellow scientist I understand when you say “I have no idea what I’m doing” and it’s so true. None of us do we all rely so much on each other to solve our problems and the past achievements of others to move forward. That being said pls upload more even if it’s just updates about current projects or anything else you find interesting.

    • @@tillthiemann6448 Of course it’s going to feel that way. You wouldn’t learn much if you just kept repeating stuff you knew. Math degrees are not earned by repeating “1+1=2” for 50-60 hours a week for four years. Malcolm Gladwell suggests 10,000 hours to master a skill: practice, feedback, learn new stuff just outside your comfort zone.

  • I think it was more impressive you knew what I would be thinking at the 5:34 about how the effort to end result had well surpassed any of the initial requirement of actually hand writing the thing. But also keen enough to realize we were interested enough to click the video in the first place, and exemplifies that there really isn't a quantifiable cost to satisfying curiosity. Well done. Ok now to see what the outcome is. PS you need a way better way to print that, you can tell the way the pen is held is a dead giveaway as it will shape the indents and affect flow of ink. Not sure what those ink bleeds were about but that wasn't effective in the least.
