Starting to winnow through yesterday’s #HeyPresstoConf20 tweets, already found some useful and interesting stuff.

Great walk around the Glen Douglas Trio of hills today. Really interesting weather. Very low clouds. Map, photos & notes:
Thanks for letting me know linked in. I can hardly contain myself!
Walking along Highburgh Rd this morning. A sparrow hawk chased a street pigeon right in front of me. Exciting.
Some of my favourite bits this week, #outdoorlearning mandalas, fire & #microbits
The first time I’ve been in Victoria Park for a while. The pair of dabchicks we visited daily through lockdown and the summer are now on their second set of chicks.
Wallace Stephens or Bot
I’ve read a few AI things recently. I can’t say I’ve got my head round it. A few bookmarks:
Donald Clark Plan B: GPT-3 is like looking into the future What a time to be living.
I couldn’t tell the difference between Wallace Stephens and a bot. Interestingly my wife could, she pointed out that reading out loud made the human poet easier to pick.
Not just words: Let’s talk about that GPT-3 AI tweet that shook designers to the core
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.
You can have fun with the previous GPT-2:

I found the Castro Podcast Player sideload function rips youtube to audio, saves that to a m4a in your iCloud/Castro folder and then you can then add it to your Queue. A nice alternative to huffduff-video.
Slow Fast Slow app
Slow Fast Slow is a nice app for changing speed of videos on iOS. I discovered it via a nice tutorial by
Andrew Brooks Rework Time – Playing with time using the Slow Fast Slow App with slow-motion video. I think my class might enjoy this especially if the sandpit is still full of water.
Video Grid
I saw some amazing work by @AndrewPBrooks and started watching some of his tutorials eg. Rework Time- YouTube. I loved the grids he made of his videos, and was reminded of QuickTime Pro. Give it a quick run. I’ll be very sad to see QuickTime pro go when I move to 64 bit.
