There was an otter in the river at the doggy park today! :O It was disturbed by a labrador that was playing in the water so it was swimming around hissing at the lab XD
Video is on bookface but it should be public:

a *classic: "New paint colors invented by neural network" http://aiweirdness.com/post/160776374467/new-paint-colors-invented-by-neural-network (my face hurts from laughing oh god)
*yes 7 months ago is "classic" also shut up
Anyone want to watch a neural network fall flat on its face trying to make knitting patterns?
I just started a new project crowdsourcing knitting patterns. Once I have enough, I'll train a neural net and post the results to a Ravelry thread, asking for opinions on the neural net's progress.
More, and a link to the form, here:

When the master wielded the sword, it glowed green.
The student tried it; it shone red.
"It is to warn others."
"Am I evil?"
"Incompetent."

Does anyone want to hear a neural network's attempt to imitate psalms, set to a 4-part harmony version of the Tetris theme and sung by a choir?

and with this commentary on late stage capitalism, I'm off to bed: http://oglaf.com/old-st-nick/ (Oglaf, surprisingly 100% work-safe if a bit grim)
recurring politics, music I like
One last thought before bed...Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence was probably a Vietnam War protest song mocking the idea of the silent majority.
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls because the middle class refused to take a stand, hearing without listening and worshipping the TV news.
I don't know what I personally can do with this information, but it's good to remember.
Goodnight friends! I'm in that tired'n'wired state that's often a comedown from stress...I had nervy stomach pangs & slept til 12 (minus a brief restless glimpse of sunrise at 8), so it's probably not surprising that I'm up feeling exhausted & weird @ 4am.
There's also a great baffled awed gratitude & joy in my heart that I'm struggling to process or express–the generosity of this community's support transformed a day of panic into one of profound relief.
May we grant each other respite today!
there's a thread elsewhere that is--making me grind my teeth, but I can't figure out any way of addressing the issue without going immediately into sharp-tooth-and-claw snarling, and I know from experience and context that will *not* work. despite the fact that it is PART OF THE PROBLEM BEING DISCUSSED. uuuugggggghhhhhh
and no I'm not going to point it out. :P
dreams, being somebody else's nightmare
I usually enjoy playing the part of somebody else's nightmare more than that. it was kind of fun, but also kind of disturbing.
