What would it be like if machine intelligences of the far future tried to recreate tea?
aiweirdness.com/post/186235675… Glowing Sky Rabbit<br /> Cold Sheep & Thunder!<br /> Slippery Violet Sands<br /> Memory Boops<br /> Indoor Cream Wave<br /> Squirrely Bubbles<br /> Blue Foam Duet<br /> Shiny Living Veins<br /> REFILLED POWER Fraps
It has been pointed out to me that the neural net-generated teas are almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. Laptime Tree Spider (Black)<br /> Old Blue Beetle Drink<br /> Pieces of Peppercorns<br /> Memory boops<br /> Headaceous Granite Drink<br /> Fine Deerscald (fresh scent)<br /> Indoor Cream Wave<br /> Safe Bucket Buddy<br /> Somewhat fair Clever Cat<br /> 1 Angry Egg<br /> Fluffy Sandberry Tea<br /> Squirrely Bubbles<br /> Sonara Goat Potswreck<br /> Travesty Bee Hatch<br /> Kitten Pond<br /> Winter Snail Glitter Bomb<br /> Hating Frosty Moon Glands
Who wants neural net-generated tea? Green Slime Essence<br /> Fresh Green Skunk<br /> Strawberry Lime Dissolution B<br /> Ice Chlorophyll Glaze<br /> Bleeding Apples with Sea Salt<br /> Dangerous Rock TREET<br /> REFILLED POWER Fraps<br /> <span class=0-3 ½.5Gridges

Some of the neural net teas now exist as @AdagioTeas blends! Impressed at how Patricia managed to put together a plausible "Slippery Violet Sands" and a "Winter Snail Glitter Bomb"

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

So excited our paper is out! And written up by @carlzimmer! I personally calibrated the device in the picture, a programmable hologram that steers laser beams to zap neurons.
Our collaborators at Stanford eavesdropped on neuron activity while mice were seeing vertical stripe patterns. When they later displayed nothing but activated some of those same neurons by zapping them with laser beams, the mice acted as if they were still seeing stripes.
They don't know if the mice were seeing the original stripe pattern exactly. Maybe they were only seeing something that resembled stripes enough that the mice could figure out that they were supposed to do their pipe-licking thing, just like with real stripes.

7,500 pictures that image recognition algorithms tend to get wrong. My kind of dataset.
Interesting examples of image recognition algorithms being fooled by color, texture, and background cues.
They also seem to have learned that hummingbird feeder = hummingbird Classifiers may use erroneous background cues for prediction. Pictures of nails tend to<br /> co-occur with a wood background. Likewise, hummingbird feeders tend to appear in images with<br /> hummingbirds but are themselves not hummingbirds.
The image recognition AIs have also learned that bars = rocking chair, shadows+ground = sundial, and thin lines = harvestman spider.
Cruelest of all is the fact that there's no car or van option in ImageNet, but there IS limousine & sports car. Every ride is super fancy.

So candiedchaff on tumblr posted their DSA Royal Navy keyboard and it's so very much that I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. I definitely do, very strongly. It doesn't look that different from the wide shot, until you look closer.

OH MY GOD

I can't believe you've done this.
and shout out to @pancakekeke's sideblog Your New Keyboard which is where I saw it. Lots of neat keyboards there:

40 years ago today, the world lost one of the greats
Little Feat singer/guitarist Lowell George

here's a piece I wrote a couple years ago about Lowell George's most famous song, "Willin'"

as John pointed out, the drums at the beginning of "Fool Yourself" gave us a classic breakbeat, used most famously in ATCQ "Bonita Applebaum" and Fugees "Killing Me Softly"

All true about Flynn.

But .@SethAbramson assumes that there will be no further indictments of Flynn.

There is no reason to think this is true, and plenty of reason to think that it is false. 1/19 tinyurl.com/y4l2y7ug
As I’ve pointed out repeatedly (contra Abramson), Flynn was peripheral to Russian election interference and Trump campaign collusion with it. 2/19
Accordingly, Mueller didn’t indict Flynn for anything directly connected with campaign collusion (perjury being another matter), b/c the election was (appropriately) Mueller’s exclusive focus. 3/19

Here we go again.

While I agree with some points that @robfahey makes in his take on this brewing showdown, I can't help but wonder why, all of a sudden, some people are willing to deride @steam_games just because there's a shiny new toy in the play pen. It's bs.

@robfahey @steam_games There are so many issues with this opening paragraph, that as a gamer and game dev, I don't even know where to begin.

Let me try and break this down as best I can.

"Epic promised a more equitable revenue share system"

That's FALSE.

This is what they offered, in their own words:

Sorry for the inconvenience folks, Jack decided to hijack today's Q thread. We are starting over, it seems I have threading capability outside that thread.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Fingers crossed we make it though, there's sooo much happening today to get to!

NEW Q thread for Dec 7th
2. New QDrop 2562

As we suspected yesterday, Q has confirmed, the CF investigation is complete!
3. Q links video explaining 3 whistleblowers have come forward against the CF.

Meadows' panel will hold a hearing next week on the status of the investigation.

OK: following, my thoughts on Google Brain and similar institutions. Disclaimer: this is my opinion, as someone who doesn't need their funding, and has built a career without needing to flatter them. (An anti-disclaimer, if you will.)
I grew up in the Bayesian era—I watched @DavidSpergel and his band of merry scientists change our view of the world with a few simple, theoretically-motivated equations.
That's what I brought to the table when I went out to study living and thinking systems. Around 2010, of course, the deep learning revolution became impossible to ignore.
