The Truth is Loneliness

 Normally, such a word as 'loneliness' should not evoke such a strong emotion. However, it is actually the case for me. Listening to people pointing to my loneliness feels like a very underhanded way of making me in pain.

It also clicked to me that I am actually seeking comfort from having people around me. Back when I was in my undergraduate studies, people are always around even when they were actually displeased with having me around. It's hard to tell cause my narcissistic tendencies to block such views from entering my eyes.

Now that everyone's paths are separated like branched trees and I am alone in my predicament of Master study, I slowly manage to shake the narcissism out. It's very very eye-opening and gut-wrenching to realize I am actually the problem. Yes, I am the problem.

I now see how people wish to not associate with me unless the need arises. If there is no specific reason for them to ask out of me, I am as good as gone to the wind. I am unneeded when none of their desire correlates. It's simple: you ought to avoid a plague unless you need it as a cure for another plague.

There are a lot of faults to fix, ranging from my very egoistical sense of view, to forceful ways of getting what I want even if it's not rightfully worth me yet, and so on. Well, the dice are now set for the current situation and proceeding forward is the only option available for now.

Preparing Anaconda with Tensorflow [ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME 2024]

Make sure to follow this with perfect order: 1. conda create -n tf_gpu tensorflow-gpu 2. conda activate tf_gpu 3. pip install numpy==1.23.4 [EXECUTE GPU TEST CODE] ==> CODE MUST RETURN GPU NUMBER > 0 [#CONFIRMED] 4. pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.10 [EXECUTE GPU TEST CODE] ==> CODE MUST RETURN GPU NUMBER > 0 [#CONFIRMED] 5. pip install tensorflow==2.10 [EXECUTE GPU TEST CODE] ==> CODE MUST RETURN GPU NUMBER > 0 [#CONFIRMED] (You may skip the first two test, but it helps ensure your environment is set up right)   TRIVIA: - There's no 2.11 version of Tensorflow GPU on pip as shown below: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow-gpu==2.11 (from versions: 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, 2.6.5, 2.7.0rc0, 2.7.0rc1, 2.7.0, 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.7.3, 2.7.4, 2.8.0rc0, 2.8.0rc1, 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3, 2.8.4, 2.9.0rc0, 2.9.0rc1, 2.9.0rc2, 2.9.0, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3, 2.10.0rc0, 2.10.0rc1, 2.10.0rc2, 2.10.0rc3, 2.1...

Prof Ashari, Tangan Dingin Sang Rektor Visioner

Tulisan ini dipersembahkan kepada Prof  Dr Ir. Mochamad Ashari, M.Eng, IPU,  AEng. yang merupakan rektor ke-12 ITS, periode 2019-2024. Seluruh tulisan ini berupa pandangan saya pribadi, sebagai ucapan terima kasih, meski disajikan seakan penuh kritikan pada bagian awalnya. Pertama saya mengenal nama ini, saya ingat dari salah satu dosen saya sewaktu saya masih menempuh sarjana. Saya lupa persis kapan, tetapi saya diperkenalkan tentang bagaimana visionernya Prof Ashari dan sedikit cuplikan peran beliau membangun Telkom University di Bandung. Ya, sebelum beliau dinobatkan sebagai rektor, saya berpikir bahwa 'apabila beliau jadi, sepertinya akan berpotensi revolusioner, atau bakal agak ekstrem dalam kebijakan'. Bagi saya, itu cukup menarik, tetapi ada ketakutan di benak saya dengan potensi ekstrem kebijakan beliau. Kala beliau dinobatkan sebagai rektor terpilih, Prof Ashari langsung bergerak cepat yang tidak membutuhkan waktu lama untuk melihat langkah beliau. Saya masih ingat, d...

Kenapa Sekarang?

Years ago, I seek it. Dulu, aku berjuang untuk bisa melewati batas teman, trying to be someone that you consider as dearest. Yes, that's back then. As I said, had it been years ago, I would have straight out say YES out of sheer dumbness, or tenacity, or both. Tabun. I used to be full of desire to get you to acknowledge me, then. Sungguh lucu sekali, I would circumvent and try to just get any chance to meet with you. Aku menginginkan lebih, dulu. But no, it has always been someone else. Someone else get to be your priority, your attention. Berharap lebih adalah kesalahanku, dan aku selalu menganggapnya demikian. Why chase over the skies you cannot reach? I almost burned the entire bridge, truly. Only one more step and I know the entire relationship will turn into nothing more than smoldering ashes in the seas of lost time. You know, had you not talk to me within the short time of me settling my almost 9-years long illusion, perhaps the bridge had been burned completely, as I had wi...
