Wall cloud. Mostly harmless. We get one every 3.42 minutes. Welcome to the future.

Shelf cloud actually. Usually indicative of a bow echo type of storm with high winds, but you can get wicked looking shelf clouds from relatively benign storms as well. A long line of storms will have a shared pool of cold outflow air at the surface, and as it moves it pushes up the air in front of it kind of like a plow. That's the rising motion you see in that gif.

A wall cloud doesn't look as menacing to the average person, but most tornadoes come out of a wall cloud, so they're a sign of a more organized and powerful storm:

I came across this fuckin' terrifying looking book



quote:

"This book is the first attempt to validate behavior modification techniques in a carefully controlled experimental treatment environment for emotionally disturbed children. Such special settings permit carefully conducted research experiments can be carried out. This is the first book to synthesize scientific and clinical approaches to human behavior, indicating that behavior modification may one day be as much an applied science as engineering or medicine.

This experimental approach introduces scientific rigor to the clinical setting, as evidenced by precise measurement of behavior variables, detailed specification of treatment procedures, and the use of sophisticated experimental designs to provide objective evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment programs. In this approach, series of idiographic (single-subject) case studies are conducted in a precise manner with each patient-subject admitted to the treatment program. The general research methodology is similar to that used in the broad area of operant conditioning, and most work reported in the book was conducted within a learning theory or behavior-modification framework.

Brb, gonna operant condition some emotionally disturbed children.

The grandchild of Deep Dream — aka “the program that made everything into eyes” — is the Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, a program that gathers basic parameters from existing images and makes its own from scratch. Results so far are... unsettling.

Clocks! Not too terrible; kinda like what they look like in dreams.

Reminds me of the story of Three Identical Strangers a documentary about a set of triplets who were separated at birth and found out that they all lived within 20 miles of each other and never knew. Turns out the whole thing was masterminded by a team who wanted to study how children develop if they are raised in different types of households and the whole thing was done without anyone involved's consent.

Why is it... an "Adversarial" network? :ohdear:


It involves 2 separate AI that compete with each other to give the best outcome. Bot A will be trying to make something good enough to "trick" Bot B. At the same time Bot B is looking at the things from Bot A and trying to find reasons to flag them as failures. When Bot B sees where Bot A screwed up it tags the error and sends that information back to Bot A, who uses that new information to generate a new and less flawed version of whatever it is they are working on. By having both of them working against each other in a way that strengthens them both at the same time you get an incredible amount of growth.

This kind of Adversarial network is used to make this type of on-the-fly video editing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCBTZh41Ris

Also the fake obama/bush/whoever speeches, and the video of driving in a car where it's all being generated. All of those use the same thing to achieve the goals.

Intentionally sought out this thread because I figured you guys could help me find a video I saw years ago but can't remember the name of.

It was some handheld camera found footage clip of a bunch of British youths driving around out in the sticks trying to find their way off a road, and for whatever reason, they keep feeling like they're driving in circles. And then they think they've gotten off the road, only to find their car teleported to some drainage area and then the radio starts going bonkers and they're assaulted by a ghost of some kind and the video cuts off.

It was really well done and i'd love to be able to share that with people during the October Spooktacular festivities.
