CMNS 150 Kyle Wilson

If you celebrate it, I wish you have a Merry Christmas! 🎄 If not, I wish you a happy/merry whatever you celebrate, be that Hanukkah or any other day. If you don't celebrate anything, I apologize for most places being closed and wish everyone a great Monday! -The Wilson family to yours.

Exams are now over, take a breather. Hope you enjoy the time off!

With the season fast approaching, (hard to believe it is the 13th of December already!) I just wanted to take the time to wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful new year! If this is your last semester of post secondary education: I wish you the best in your chosen field. If this is not your last semester of post-secondary: I wish you the best of luck in your continuing studies in whatever your program/chosen field may be. Happy holidays!

Was a pleasure to be in this course with all of you and I wish you good luck on any final exams that you may have!

Is CMNS 150 done? - check! Do you have any other courses left this semester?

This is an interesting analogy, using Star Wars to help people understand semi-autonomous driving assists. Reminds me somewhat of how Grand Theft Auto V was used by researchers to teach AI how to drive/algorithms how to identify/classify objects (ie "that's a vehicle", "that's a sidewalk", etc.) -  a dangerous proposition, yet equally as good (given that the game's AI drivers are really  bad, which could actually teach the AI how to be safer drivers & expect unpredictable behaviour). The I first mentioned article in The Verge  (the analogy) One article about Grand Theft Auto V being used to teach AI how to drive The official report about using GTA to teach AI how to drive

This is definitely interesting. I don't personally hear it "bouncing" but it is interesting that some can. Weird. Check out the article in The Verge  now! https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/4/16733778/noisy-gif-hearing-movement-auditory-neuroscience-synesthesia

I just read an interesting article in  The Verge , apparently Facebook has now rolled out a new Facebook "Messenger" app designed for those under the age of 13 (called "Messenger Kids"). The app does not require a Facebook account (under US law, it can't) and allows parents to manually approve whoever they come in contact with. Facebook has said that it will  not  use the child's information for ads and that ads will not  be on the service. "Messenger Kids is primarily designed to offer video and text chat along with the types of playful masks and filters, originally popularized by Snapchat, that are now prevalent across Facebook’s many messaging products. " Check out the article here for yourself:  https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/4/16725494/facebook-messenger-kids-app-launch-ios-iphone-preview

Hi there! Just another update. CMNS 150 video assignment was posted to YouTube this past Friday. Check it out at the link below (if you wish, of course). https://youtu.be/xU-4zaXquus

I know I'm a bit late (in posting this here), but here is a link to my audio assignment.
