I’ve pivoted with the theme for the text I’m using to fine tune openai’s gpt-2 model, and have picked up a few tips doing so, and I now have Tensorflow gpt-t writing songs 🙂 Steps that I have worked through today: ingesting a collection of lyrics from various artists from a Kaggle soucre encoding and merging the files tweaking the train.py parameters This isn’t going to win any awards. The…

Using Google’s CoLab [https://colab.research.google.com] I’ve fine tuned the gpt-2 117 model with an extract of text from a kiwi radio host, Mike Hosking I chose Mike not because I ever agree with his opinion, ‘cos he has a distinct writing style. Here’s a link to my GitHub with the files: https://github.com/AmbiguousError/gpt-2 CoLab is symbiotic with Google Drive, and during the fine tune process a large data set that has been…

We’ve got to start moving a lot more slowly in the next couple years, because the community can be very toxic for anything we do, as well as the actual products at stake. That being said, I think the community is going to need some great leadership development. If you’re working on a project that has some really good data, the people running it will need people to explain what…

“with this in mind,” said Dr. Eric A. Bowering, an associate professor of physics at UC Davis and a co-author on the paper. “It’s a very good way to learn about particles that cannot be detected in the real world.” Dr. Bowering and four colleagues studied the particles using lasers that were made with molten steel that was sandwiched by an extremely thin thin layer called a layer of carbon.…

Another openai project I’ve been playing with is gpt-2: Code for the paper “Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners” Synopsis, you give the bot a text extract and it responds 🙂 I’ve been through the process of creating a local Docker and running this script, I’m far from understanding the complexities bit here is a demo: python3 src/interactive_conditional_samples.py –top_k 40 Model prompt >>> I’ve been through the process of creating…

I’ve been playing with a couple of openai projects OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. We’re a team of a hundred people based in San Francisco, California. The OpenAI Charter describes the principles that guide us as we execute on our mission. I’m really intrigued by their retro gym projects; teaching an AI to play classic video games… although I haven’t tried this…

I’ve a Python bot sat on a Raspberry Pi tweeting and re-tweeting about topics I’m interested in, Tableau being one of them. Check out the feed @GamerGeekNews

My code is still a working progress so please be gentle 🙂 Overview PASSNYC is a not-for-profit organization that facilitates a collective impact that is dedicated to broadening educational opportunities for New York City’s talented and underserved students.

notepad plus plus for Linux I use notepad++ at work on a windows machine, I find it great for taking notes, and editing SQL scripts on the go. For a long time Geany has been my goto Linux file editor, but it might now get more limited use in the future now that notepad++ is available in Linux, via snap 🙂 Crazy too, that I think this is my first…

So excited, I managed to reserve a Mini SNES, should have it tomorrow 🙂 Looking forward to introducing the boy to all of the classics I loved as a kid, and from what I’ve read (Reddit.com/MiniSNES) Nintendo left it open to load ROMS onto it, as with the mini NES… so many games to play! I’ve been having on and off issues wit h my PC… well mainly off issues…

I got thinking after my last post of why I chose Unity, and could Python be an option as a language to build games? I have much more need for Python on a daily basis… although I’m currently limited to ver 2.7 at work, I do use it for the current Feed2Twitter Raspberry Pi setup. So for the past few days I’ve been digging around searching for material and tutorials…
