Can anyone who's outside the US tell me if this link works as a link to the appropriate Amazon page for my book?
a-fwd.com/asin-com=03165…
Testing to see whether I can use affiliate-geo-target.com to send people to my UK Amazon page in the UK, etc
Thanks, everyone! Looks like in general it works worse than a plain us link. Dang.
Can you try this link? mybook.to/YouLookLikeATh…

This is what snacks will be like in the Simulation.

The gpt-2 neural net attempted to add to a list of British snacks and came up with these.
aiweirdness.com/post/186862853… Puff-o-matic Gobblers<br /> Eyeball Shrubbin' Fluffers<br /> Duck-a-doodle-doo stix<br /> Ellies with Stems<br /> Hydro Glittering Taffy<br /> Ooh Yum Sweetcorn Puddles #2<br /> Dry Dungworms<br /> Grey Sea Dipping Sluggies<br /> Eclectic Stinky Wuzzies
Here's the original allegedly human-invented list I prompted the neural net with. Put these four into talktotransformer.com and you get strange AI-generated snacks (though sometimes bird or fish species too which fair enough)
There were no eggs in the original list of British snacks, and yet the neural net became strangely obsessed with creating egg-based snacks. Egg-O-Matic Squishes<br /> Eggs on the Ceiling<br /> Eggs on Wheels<br /> Eggs and Eggs<br /> Extreme Eggs<br /> Eggs-A-Quack<br /> Eggs-Bite-It<br /> Eggs-Biz-It<br /> Eggsy Eggs & Cheezes<br /> Eggs of Wonder: Eggs of Wonder!<br /> Eggs of Wonder: No, We’re Not Just A Scamp!<br /> Excitement Rings: Egg Scratches!

When I was trying to come up with a title for the AI Weirdness book, I tried training a neural net to generate them.

There were a LOT of rejected titles.

I used @runwayml to reconstruct this scene from The Last Jedi by having DeepLab recognize all the objects in each frame, and then having SPADE try to paint the original frame from the objects.
@runwayml More on the reconstruction process here: aiweirdness.com/post/186539822…
This is the first step, where DeepLab segments an image into objects. "Lightsaber" is not a category it has, so it improvises. luke skywalker holding a lightsaberluke is labeled person, background is mostly labeled wall, and lightsaber is labeled baseball bat
@runwayml Next, SPADE has to paint a picture just from DeepLab's labeled image. It sees person with a baseball bat, so it looks a lot like it tried to paint Luke in a baseball jersey. luke is labeled person, background is mostly labeled wall, and lightsaber is labeled baseball batluke has a blob of a face, a pixelated tshirt, and blue hair

This is the continuation of the Books of Q Part XIV.

So many books it’s hard to decide what to read first. 🤔

Interaction Resiliency (iXR) is the practice of Software QA (aka #testing) as applied to "devops" or more properly Safety-II software delivery (aka continuous delivery & continuous deployment).
I put a name to "testing in devops" or "agile testing in continuous delivery" because a) those phrases are clumsy 😀 and b) the current discourse in #testing constantly collapses back on itself as big-A Agile + CDT are conflated time-and-time-again with Safety-II + Kaizen #iXR

Is this #ClintonFoundation 2.0?

Sen #JohnMccain has an eponymous foundation, the McCain Institute For International Leadership, less known and much smaller in scale but rivals the Clinton Foundation in corruption
mccaininstitute.org
NOTE: DONT CONFUSE THE McCain Institute with either..

McCain Family Foundation, they claimed a weak 1000 in income and 5000 to 6000 in assets..

Also the McCain foundation, which has nothing to do with John McCain, but was founded by McCain foods
