I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Our backyard pond is filled with and with some of them being quite large.One of my favourite is this superb pink lily with yellow center, . I love the deep rich yellow centre and the blushing petals.

My today is a Kestrel that flew toward me and landed so close I could get only part of it in frame. I love it when a bird or animal comes closer.

Something different from my usual wild horses. Just got back from a trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. These sunrises made it worth getting up in the dark.

You can tell my fine motor skills are off here 😄 as my hands shake, circles are impossible, but here is an of a bicycle.

Yesterday's #StableDiffusion prompt was: "Unseen Academicals".

The results were the most diverse and furthest away from anything to do with the original #DiscWorld title that I've gotten so far 🙂 But on the other hand, the prompt is rather abstract ...

I am reaching the end of the DiscWorld title list and it might be time to take a break from DiscWorld and try something else for a few days?

I was a bit slower to complete the reading of the papers today — a bit of a distracted day. But at the end, posted about 9 papers in the cs.CV category out of a total of 60 new (and updated) papers on arXiv.org today ...

"Self-Supervised Learning Through Efference Copies. (arXiv:2210.09224v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)" — A paper which shows that the commonly used self-supervised learning approach of transforming each training datapoint into a pair of views, using the knowledge of this pairing as a positive (i.e. non-contrastive) self-supervisory sign, and potentially opposing it to unrelated, (i.e. contrastive) negative examples is an incomplete implementation of a concept from neuroscience, the Efference Copy (EC).

@at I just found the use of the word "olfactory" confusing in both those papers 🙂 OK, it was the use of "olfactory" in the title, which seemed to imply that the olfactory aspect was important. But the content of the paper didn't match up to that ... but maybe that's just my rushed reading?
