#Jobfished

[theauthorinblue]

I’ve been on a good plant-worldbuilding kick today, and these drawings came out better than I imagined in my head (minus the fern pinna and the excessive green on the aprion tooth)

[dailymarinefish]

day 73, 05/04/24 - fish of the day is the green jobfish (Aprion virescens)

[coatesman]

This fish keeps me going. Jobbie, Uku, Blue Green Snapper, Kakaap what ever you call them. They have to be one of the most fun to hunt and best eating of all fish in the tropics and sub-tropics. Is there a better fish out there that ticks all boxes like a Jobbie? . #jobfish #kakaap #uku #spearfishing #snapper #spearing #bestfish https://instagr.am/p/CsA0wl8qtjt/

Day 82 – the Silhouette island tour

Breakfast this morning was a little bit better. We had the chickpea curry today and asked to sit away from the large families. The staff today seemed much more attentive than they have been and J even got a plate of watermelon.

We went back to the room and did more admin, including getting caught up on Tripadvisor reviews. We then headed to the Silhouette medical centre by buggy for our 11th COVID test. This was a quickie – barely 5 seconds. We then stopped by the dive shop to get information about snorkelling tours. The buggy driver was a friendly chap and told us a bit about the island. There is a shop, but it is only available to the locals. Apparently all the staff have received a COVID vaccine and should be getting their second dose shortly. For now they are not allowed to visit the main island as it is quite locked down. He also explained that this Hilton is popular with families as there are no cars. This means kids can safely run wild and unsupervised around the island.

We have also figured out that they are doing a lot of renovation during the downtime. Not so nice for the current guests, but it will likely help when the resort reopens properly.

We took the Silhouette history tour today. We jumped into a buggy which took us to the Silhouette museum, at the Grann Kaz restaurant. This was the plantation home for the Dauban family, a French, aristocratic family that owned Silhouette island from around 1860 – 1960 and ran it as a coconut, breadfruit and vanilla plantation. We saw the original house as well as the mausoleum, where some of the Dauban family are buried. We also saw the local village where around 50 local villagers live. The rest of the island is apparently reserved for the Labriz hotel and staff. There is also a small conservation contingent who live here as well. It was a nice tour and we learned that Catherine Dauban still haunts the plantation house at night.

We had our usual happy hour drinks and went back to the Grann Kaz for dinner. The German family with the behaved child, a little boy named Otto, also got into our buggy to the restaurant. They were friendly.

The food at the restaurant was decent to good. S really liked the hearts of palm salad. Unfortunately they were out of avocado, so J basically had a plate of tomatoes. S’ octopus curry and J’s creole jobfish were fine, but again, not spectacular. Weirdly, J noticed the creole sauce here was similar to the creole sauce she had in St Vincent. The atmosphere at the restaurant was pretty lively and we saw a group of 8 adults that were having a great time and were still going after we left.

J got 4 mosquito bites today. S got considerably more as he didn’t wear his repellent today.

Just got back from what is probably the greatest adventure I have had in years. It wasn’t all plain sailing and not everything went to plan. But this 14kg Jobbie put one hellova smile 😀 on my dial. There are so many stories to tell and great memories made with an epic crew of guys. Thanks to @lukekzn for having the balls to put this trip together. You are a legend mate. Now to get home and build some guns and prep for next season. This trip has got me all fired 🔥up. . #spearfishing #spearing #epicadventure #coatesmans #jobfish https://instagr.am/p/CVwJYWiBlf1/

How 52 people were lured to work for a fake design agency – BBC News

How 52 people were lured to work for a fake design agency – BBC News

More than 50 people were tricked into working for a glamorous UK design company that turned out to be fake. People from the UK and all over the world were hired to work at a company called Madbird during lockdown. They were convinced it was a successful business through an online universe of fake profiles, stolen work and lies. The employees were “Jobfished” and having spent as long as six months…

Day 80 – S nearly squashes baby

When we arrived at breakfast, who did we see, but the large German family with the baby girl from the night before. The baby was being allowed to crawl in the middle of the walkway through the restaurant. As S can’t see very well and the restaurant is dim, S almost stepped on the baby. J had to alert him at the last minute. Having had enough of inattentive parents and feeling sorry for the poor baby, which almost got squashed, S told the father that S is sight impaired and almost stepped on the dad’s child and if he doesn’t care about his kid, that’s unfortunate, but he shouldn’t let his child crawl on the floor of the restaurant. The family were speechless, but hopefully will now take care of their child so it does not get hurt.

True to our word, we had the lentil curry for breakfast with hardboiled eggs on the side. After breakfast, we visited the hotel gift shop. J replaced her water shoes and bought the last bottle of industrial-strength 100 DEET mosquito spray in the shop. Clearly other guests had the same fondness for mosquitoes as J and cleared out their stock. S also picked up a cool Hawaiian shirt with a beach print. Unlike Kenya, where stamps are only sold at the post office, J was able to pick up a postcard and stamp for her parents.

The good news is that it’s so warm that J’s coconut oil has liquefied again.

J decided to spend the day in the room selecting and editing photos from our safari as she’s gotten so far behind in posting. S spent the afternoon in the bathing suit optional outdoor pool. The pool water was extremely warm and about the same temperature as the air. Somehow he avoided the swarms of mosquitoes J could see from the room and avoided getting massacred. While J was on the computer playing music, she heard the mysterious animal noise again and spotted a lizard crawling on the ceiling. Housekeeping explained that as we are in the jungle, it’s not possible to keep lizards out without spraying the room. S, having grown up with chameleons in his house in Florida, rejected the spraying idea as toxic.

We went to the bar for happy hour and once again ran into our favourite German family, baby in tow. This time the dad actually paid attention to the baby so she wasn’t screaming. Dinner was at 4th Degree, the beach restaurant. This restaurant has outdoor seating on the beach, in the sand, like Barefoot at Sandals. Apart from a table of Italians, we were the only guests dining at that restaurant. It is possible that others have gotten the memo that the food at this restaurant is not the best. J had to send back her chicken as it was inedible. S had the jobfish with creole sauce on the side, which was OK, but nothing to write home about.

Once again at dinner our peace and quiet was interrupted by screaming British children and a hungry kitten. This time the kids were older and were running around the restaurant area. It turns out their parents were probably having a quiet evening away from the kids. At some point the kids stood at our table to ask our waiter for a few drinks. Somehow our waiter from Madagascar had become an English nanny. He was a good chap and put on a Bob Marley playlist as he loves reggae. We have now heard Bob Marley in every country on our trip with the possible exception of the Maldives.

We went back to our room and called it a night.

The neural network meets its match: Fish biologists

(Drawing by Max Graenitz)

I train machine learning programs called neural networks - they work by looking at lists of data and then deducing their own rules about how to generate similar data. They’re used in everything from ad targeting to facial recognition to self-driving cars, but I use them for humor by giving them very silly datasets.

Usually in my experiment, I give the neural network an unfair dataset - like paint colors - and it tries its best, but ends up with something unintentionally weird, like a brownish color called Stanky Bean, or a bright blue color called Dad.

Fish biologist Colin Gross sent me a new dataset for the neural network, a list of the common names of 37,265 fish from fishbase.

I gave the list to an open-source neural network and let it start trying to generate more fish.

Here’s a snapshot of its early attempts, as it tried to spell common words like “butterflyfish” and “shark” and “snapper”

Blue-spotted erlerfish Seer batterfly Seelet guby Pit-hard fish Seate shurper Seelee murchlip Segfish Seare moatherfish Seale multerflyfish Seeled cudfish Seored barshont Seare sputterfish Spotfin spunterfly Spotfin sul shripper Sponted stripper Spotfin shurk Spotfin snarper Blue-spotted mrinnfish

But then, it got good at this. I mean, really really good at this. You may think these names are the neural network being weird? No. They are pretty much indistinguishable from actual fish common names because, let me tell you, fish biologists are the weird ones. 

The rest of this post is going to be the neural network’s ode to its new best friends, the fish biologists. And, I am very lucky to have excellent drawings by the talented Max Graenitz who wanted to get in on the weird-fest.

I’ve posted the original dataset so you can see I am NOT KIDDING about how weird fish names are.

Want to help with neural network experiments? For NaNoWriMo I’m crowdsourcing a dataset of novel first lines, after the neural network had trouble with a too-small dataset.

Go to this form (no email necessary) and enter the first line of your novel, or your favorite novel, or of every novel on your bookshelf. You can enter as many as you like. At the end of the month, I’ll hopefully have enough sentences to give this another try.
