Tiny decisions github12/28/2023 ![]() Even if we manage to stay within our budget of R200 000, our tiny house will be considerably more expensive (and certainly tinier!) than the average South African home. Money/Lifestyle: This is an especially tricky issue with tiny houses. Building a tiny house has meant that I don’t have a boss and don’t have to stick to a tight work schedule as long as I’m making some progress on the house. My wife has had steady work throughout this time, leaving me to look for more flexible work while looking after our son. ![]() Timing: We’ve been in a time of great transition since May, when I finished graduate school, our first child was born, and we decided to move from the US back to South Africa. I’ll need to write more about the incredible help we’re receiving in a later post. Thankfully, we’ve been assisted greatly by my dad in building and by Steve, who’s let us use his worksite and tools. I’m not a builder and probably won’t ever consider myself to be one. Help: Though this isn’t necessarily a reason for building a tiny house, the project would have been impossible without the help we’ve received. Lacking a clear and concise answer, I’ll instead try and lay out in more detail some of the factors in our decision to take on this project. Unfortunately, I’ve found it difficult to articulate why we’re building a tiny house. Most of the rest of the people I talk to are at least a little skeptical of the idea ( Hi Dad!), especially the cost and size of the DIY project. “That’s awesome” they’ll say, but our project utterly lacks the excitement, pace and glamor of professional builders working alongside a TV crew. This approach will make it possible to develop further intelligent systems in the future that can help save human lives.Over the past several months as I’ve told people that I’m building a tiny house, I’ve been surprised by how many people are familiar with the concept, mainly though TV shows. By harnessing the power of neuromorphic computing, such as reservoir computing used here, we have succeeded in not only solving complex classification tasks in real time but we will also potentially be able to do this within the human body. In our research, we have now taken a crucial step toward realizing this vision. Solving complex tasks has not been possible so far. "So far, however, successes have been limited to simple electronic components such as individual synapses or sensors. "The vision of combining modern electronics with biology has come a long way in recent years with the development of so-called organic mixed conductors," explains Matteo Cucchi, PhD student and first author of the paper. The potential applications for implantable AI systems are manifold: For example, they could be used to monitor cardiac arrhythmias or complications after surgery and report them to both doctors and patients via smartphone, allowing for swift medical assistance. In the process, the polymer network consumed less energy than a pacemaker. In trials, the AI was able to differentiate between healthy heartbeats from three common arrhythmias with an 88% accuracy rate. However, the nonlinear transformation using the polymer network makes this possible without any problems. The nonlinearity of these networks enables to amplify even the smallest signal changes, which - in the case of the heartbeat, for example - are often difficult for doctors to evaluate. The random arrangement of polymer fibers forms a so-called "recurrent network," which allows it to process data, analogous to the human brain. They used polymer-based fiber networks that structurally resemble the human brain and enable the neuromorphic AI principle of reservoir computing. Hans Kleemann and Matteo Cucchi demonstrates an approach for real-time classification of healthy and diseased bio-signals based on a biocompatible AI chip. In this work, the research team led by Prof.
