NeuralTalk and Walk

Coding experiment from Kyle McDonald features laptop running a neural network image captioner in realtime interpreting the webcam feed during a walk around Amsterdam:

Andrej Karpathy’s “NeuralTalk” code github.com/karpathy/neuraltalk2 slightly modified to run from a webcam feed. I recorded this live while walking near the bridge at Damstraat and Oudezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam.

Clouds by Jorge Luis Borges

I There can’t be a single thing which is not cloud. You are a cloud in a supermarket looking for something to darken. II The name in store for them is clouds. They have hardly changed since Shakespearean times, Though they live longer, and are twice as tall. Their improvised architecture Nags God to keep creating. This morning, for example, I said the word clouds. Translated by Oli Hazzard From the Boston Review where there are a few more of these gems.
