I started my career in telephony. When I was an intern in the mid-80s, a lot of people (not employed at AT&T or the baby Bells) used the term "Bell-shaped head" to refer to a particular engineering mind-set...

Randomly been thinking a lot about Elfen Lied the past couple of days, a gory anime that I watched on Google Video (remember that?) when I was 12. Which IMO missed an opportunity to tell a thoughtful character growth driven story by going for shock value instead.

I built a thing! paintwith.spell.ml/ is a little web application that lets you draw your own landscape paintings using GauGAN hosted on @spell_ml.

A few things I learned working on this project: * HTML canvas is neat. * Modern DL techniques can get interesting results even with just 250 data points (albeit with not-so-great resolution). * Wow, GANs are reaaaaally hard to fine-tune.
