ImageNet1k download by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
To download from Kaggle, create an API token on kaggle.com, which downloads a kaggle.json file then:
mkdir -p ~/.kaggle
mv ~/down/kaggle.json ~/.kaggle
python3 -m pip install kaggle
kaggle competitions download -c imagenet-object-localization-challenge
The download speed is wildly server/limited and take A LOT of hours. Also, the tool does not seem able to pick up where you stopped last time.
Another download location appears to be: huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k on Hugging Face, but you have to login due to their license terms. Once you login you have a very basic data explorer available: huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k/viewer/default/train.
WordNet by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Groups concepts by hyponymy and hypernymy and meronymy and holonymy. That actually makes a lot of sense! TODO: is there a clear separation between hyponymy and meronymy?
Browse: wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn Appears dead as of 2025 lol.
The online version of WordNet has been deprecated and is no longer available.
Does not contain intermediat scientific terms, only very common ones, e.g. no mention, of "Josephson effect", "photoelectric effect"
Robert O'Callahan by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Creator of Mozilla rr, of which Ciro Santilli is a huge fan of!
He quit Mozilla in 2016 to try and commercialize an rr extension called Pernosco.
But as of 2022, he advertised himself as part of "Google Research", so maybe that went under, sample source: archive.ph/o9622. TODO when did he start? There's apparently an unrelated homonym: www.linkedin.com/in/rob-ocallahan/
He's apparently very religious, and very New Zelandish, twitter.com/rocallahan auto-describes:
Christian. Repatriate Kiwi.
Terry A. Davis and D. Richard Hipp come to mind. One is tempted to speculate a correlation even, the proportion amongst systems programmers feels so much higher than in other areas of programming! Maybe it is because you have to be a God to do it in the first place.

Very hot stuff! It's like ISA-portable assembly, but with types! In particular it also it deals with calling conventions for us (since it is ISA-portable). TODO: isn't that exactly what C does? :-) LLVM IR vs C
clang by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
LLVM front-end for C and related language like C++ etc.
Fashion MNIST by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Same style as MNIST: 28x28 grayscale images, but with clothes rather than hand written digits.
It was designed to be much harder than MNIST, and more representative of modern applications, while still retaining the low resolution of MNIST for simplicity of training.

yolov5-pip by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
OK, now we're talking, two liner and you get a window showing bounding box object detection from your webcam feed!
python -m pip install -U yolov5==7.0.9
yolov5 detect --source 0
The accuracy is crap for anything but people. But still. Well done. Tested on Ubuntu 22.10, P51.

Functional programming by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Even if we cannot do everything in functional, we should at least strive to clearly extract functional substes in what we do.
