Book 11 - Descending The Mounting.... the Final stage of Zen Practice

Link to "Descending the Mountain"




Descending the Mountain is about the path of the Bodhisaatva, the final path down the mountain after enlightenment has been realized. It discusses the return to the world of illusion and troubled men and how to perfect your own life and find meaning. Gianna Giavelli is a Zen teacher and founder of the Vassar Sangha. She brings unique insights and original wisdom in describing the parable of the mountain and why a BodhiSaatva gets stuck on the mountain. Descending the mountain is about overcoming and entering everyday life and the challenges for a Bodhisaatva in the everyday world. Finding your true passions, creations, love, right livelyhood are all topics she takes on with the Zen spirit. The book introduces several Zen masters and their teachings but not in an introductory way. Instead she gathers key insights and weaves a web along and supporting the path she is taking us. It is an original understanding of Zen and how it can be tasked with our life in the everyday post Satori.

Announcing JOONN The Java Object Oriented Neural Network framework

I am working on an open source GPU supported language for real neural network processing.

Called JOONN (June) it will be the first solution focused on neural modeling and large neural cubes.

It is a response to the statistical convolution network appraches which are think layer and matrix based. Not neural modeling based.

One issue is GPU support. I am so utterly frustrated with the crap of JOCL and JCUDA that finding the right library to bridge calls efficiently is difficult. ROCM is an interesting development that bridges all cpu types.

Existing software does not easily allow setting up complex neurons.

The modeling consists of creating a neuron class with

   a connection profile
   a propagation function
   an activation function
   a decay function
   a chaos / edelman function for connectivity and spontaneous link generation

When you reach the wall with nothing existing thats worth a shit after a years investigation, you realize the need to create your own.

If you are a developer who wants to help work on this project shoot me a message or post a comment below. Esp if you are a GPU coder. thanks.
