“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.” United States President John F. Kennedy

“Nobody will tell us what movies to watch and when to watch them” Alvin Toffler, was written in 1980 book “The Third Wave”. When I read that phrase I did not understand what it means. I was living in a communist country and we have TV allowed only a couple of hours per day in order to spare electricity. The movies where allowed only 3 or 4 per week. The capitalist movies that we could watch where approved by a special department of “Securitate” (Some kind of Ministry of Truth from the book 1984). Only the movie that showed “The decadence of capitalism” where allowed (“Dallas – The Ewing family” ) was one of them. I do not remember any Pink Floyd show at TV but I do remember people running around with their lyrics, hand written (no printer or typewriter where allowed (all their fingerprint where registered) for fear of spreading capitalist ideas) .
So I had a big surprise this week when an artist send me an article about “Indoctrination using YouTube videos” (see article bellow). When I read this I remember that in any KGB plan there is a line “to conquer the TV” in order to tell the people that their country is not conquered and franchised but liberated.
YouTube is the democracy that Alvin Toffler was talking about, it is our chance to be informed (do not expect that people that are paid from your taxes, to take care of “informations and intelligence”, will ever inform you. I have a Prime Minister confession that he received only 2 strong intelligence reports in one year – imagine how many you will get 🙁 )
Yes, the dynamicaly updated algorithms of YouTube, created by programmers, Artificial Intelligence or both, will recommend you both good and stupid stuff. But you can go to a communist country and receive only KGB selected videos, if you prefer. I remember that during Romanian Revolution a movie was stopped in the middle and never continued, because the new boss realized that some videos may improve the quality and aspiration of people, too much, and in the direction that affects the leaders interests. YouTube freedom is your chance to become a better man, a smarter man. Nobody stops from from searching for “Richard Feynman” and learn the truth about Micro and Macro Universe in a few years. Nobody stops you to search for “Darwin”. And so on … it is an exponential growth of Knowledge towards Singularity, with the help of YouTube, Amazon, Packt, Audible, Scribd …
……. let’s have some YouTube fun now …………….
I knew I have a movie to make before entering the Pantheon square – it was an incredible sound running beyond the street corners
My YouTube recommendation for Music, super performances of Serin Halim on Pink Floyd tunes on the playlist below.
He is body and soul dedicated to music. I met him several times and it reminds me of Santana (“What is my music offer to the day and Humanity”)
Serin completely changes while he is singing, getting to a completely new world like Alice in Wonderland . Probably, Tony Robbins will call it double personality. I call it Paganini / Michael Jackson effect = getting first to a Music Universe and singing from there
Roger Waters starting at the 6th tune (Money is singed by Roger Waters with Donald Trump voice at the beginning)
Also a different playlist with The Eagles and Led Zepelin covers are here
I started to do some benchmarks in order to plan the future needed computers and tools for Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)
3 computers until now (all on Windows 10)
Elapsed Time for CPU = 5 hours, 47 minutes, 26 seconds
Elapsed Time for GPU NVidia 920M = 1 hour, 39 minutes, 15 seconds
Elapsed Time for GPU NVidia 940MX + SSD = 1 hour, 13 minutes, 16 seconds
Tensorflow news: TensorFlow 1.13.0-rc2 @aselle aselle released this 5 days ago
TensorFlow GPU binaries are now built against CUDA 10 and TensorRT 5.0.
Support for Python3.7 on all operating systems.
I tested with Tensorflow nightly 1.13.0-rc2, Cuda 10, cuDNN v7.4.2. I had to install a new driver from Nvidia GeForce Experience application to make the system work. I am still on Python 3.6.8. I will come back here after Python update. Now I am benchmarking this new configuration
Bad news – Cuda compute capability minimum requirements (solved on Tensorflow nightly 1.13.0-rc2, Cuda 10, cuDNN v7.4.2)
I upgraded to Tensorflow 1.11.0 and the game ended for NVidia 920M (Cuda compute capability required is 3.7 > cuda compute capability of NVidia 920M). Check your board on this table https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
I will add more NVidia boards and configurations on this article
Enjoy Artificial Intelligence and Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) !

I found one “Michael Jackson – Paganini” similar exquisite talent inside The Pink Floyd world. Joe Coker was born with an orchestra inside his voice, and he worked all his life to connect his heart with his voice. Other people had to reinvent themselves to be the gods of the violin, dance, or guitar.

[Reiland Olivier comment]
The guy was absolutely brilliant ! It’s so funny as i was just standing at that exact time on your right side !!
At the end an italian cop ordered it to stop his playing . I was so hangry against this cop .. 🙁 Thanks for this video, mate !
[Reply]
That day we made History ! Well … Pink Floyd with their genius, Serin with his love and talent, and we come last but not least because we had another needed quality: We do not move when we hear real music and feelings. We know that Pantheon was build for this kind of art, too.
Is the sound so dangerous ? If is hard to measure by the police squads so a “no sound” politics was approved by The Mayor Office for the Center of Rome – sound weapon
“There Is No One Truth in War” Ken Burns (what if we have permanent hidden wars ? see details bellow)
We got Nixon, installing the microphones inside the opposition party offices, and everyone was happy to get rid of the Devil. The journalists received a Pulitzer Prize.
But the big success comes from a secret man, who started one day to work for the American people. He is known as Deep Throat, and after many years, we discovered that he was a super executive at the FBI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate)
The problem is different.
After 40 years, the USA gave apologizes to Angel Merkel for listening to her phones, for 10+ years. So, nothing has been solved, because we did not solve the general problem that applies to all the parties in the world, we did not solve the trick and thievery that governments apply with copy-paste all over the world. Additionally, most of the countries, are also colonies at the intersection of empires, and everybody uses franchises that worked for other countries, “Original Democracies” used to control colonies.
This means that the great award-winning journalist has a bigger enigma to solve because he was dealing with the symptoms of the disease, not the problem.
We have to deal with this colossal confusion.
We do not fix anything by attacking people, while behind our work, systems are becoming more and more stupid because of the genetic laws that develop them in a strange direction.
“Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” Churchill
What can we do? :
1. Start to directly vote, using the Internet, for suppliers of large projects. If we do that, the companies who are subscribed to government contracts will start focusing on the quality of work, not on lobby, briberies and other stuff.
Until now, our Democracy looks like “The Democracy through Representatives that Represent Only Themselves” and is time for a more “Direct Democracy“.
How to find these projects? Well, Big Four calls this audit method “show me your project with the largest value contracted (beware of the intentional split projects), then the next one …”
If Coca Cola will build a bridge it is a billion brand at stake. The government has nothing to lose, no matter what they do. It is a different mentality.
Do we have some previous experience? Yes – there are countries where people can choose what to be done to a 1-2% fraction of their taxes (Romania, Italy, …). It will be nice to see what they voted for until now.
2. Start Big Four audit on our employees’ activities (read The Government, Senate, The House of Representatives,… Technically they are our employees, see an analogy here from the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. The text in the movie is “Sweetheart you got my money taped on your body, so technically you work for me”)
The Wolf of Wall Street movie clip
I ask an employer of Big Four, who is into forensic activities if they ever checked Government activities, but it was just a rhetorical question. They will never do that even if they find 1000 files at their door, it is an unwritten procedure to look the other way.
3. Business efficiency. All our companies are well developed and budgeted, starting with efficiency in mind, only this other company “of ours”, The Government and other similar institutions, are always growing and raising taxes to support the growth. The first Party who will stop this grow will lose the election as not being able to compete, so we are paying more and more taxes, only to feed our big dinosaurs, we work 4 to 6 months per year to support them.
See Tax Freedom Day on Wikipedia
Instead of impeaching our presidents and governments for growing taxes and not respecting the promises from electoral campaigns we do it for inappropriate relationships, talking with Putin and installing microphones (which they will keep doing, no matter what 🙁 )
4. Direct and fair penalties.
Companies have direct responsibilities for their mistakes, for the mistakes of their employees. Parties have no responsibilities.
We read in the newspapers that “Apple was penalized by X with Y millions of USD because he did Z”.
It is time to read about the following
– The Party that proposed a man who has damaged/stolen State X to pay the damage (and to be paid, by the person who did it, same amount, also)
– The fines that the companies get because they did something wrong, should be also paid by the Parties who make mistakes (I never heard of bankrupt Parties, are they so good? Statistics show a lot of bankruptcy for companies, are Parties living outside math or is different stuff here, to live irresponsible on people taxes, and other bad things ?)
– I want to see in the Party’s resume all the fines and the condemned deeds – They get away too easily with “We regret how bad Y was and we exclude him from The Party – we know nothing about it” (when in fact half of the campaign posters where paid by that Y)
Who will insure a Party for malpractice?
This practice was used in Venetian Republic (the longest that we know, with over 1000 years of existence). A doge was secretly acting against the Republic and in their Parliament room he received a black rectangle instead of a portrait. This means that in the long list of portraits on the ceiling there is a black gap.
Intelligence General Ion Mihai Pacepa started to write a Black Book for Romania, but the book was caught in a political war for power in Eastern Europe colonies. I hope that we will wake up one day and write an unbiased history (Even The USA cannot have an unbiased history, and Donald Trump keeps some JFK files out of public eyes, even after decades). What kind of animals are we? Or a better question could be “What did we invented and developed on our space ship ?” We are curious about what Artificial Intelligence will do with Humans, but the truth is that the worst things were already invented thousands of years ago – we have a history of programming, developing and maintaining strange DNA systems, on top of Humanity, long before Turing was born.
5. The Exchangers – History is the story of people helping each other to conquest and maintain power How things are done in the background – Take a glimpse inside, by watching this video, or even better – watch the whole “La Piovra” TV series La Piovra (The Octopus)
Or read this book, written by one of our Prime Ministers – “Pe Contrasens” Radu Vasile. Radu saw the tragic difference between the ideals that any country and movement are promoting and what The Governments really do – nonstop “exchanges”. I remember that I saw something similar in “The House of Cards” (I will be back here …)
6. If Mercedes (Daimler) is bribing governments around the world in order to keep it’s company afloat it means that we have an even bigger issue with our systems Mercedes (Daimler) is bribing the Governments
I need time to understand this, because Mercedes is our top standard of quality, for both the cars and the people that are working there. Why people who can not sleep without knowing that they delivered exquisite quality work for their company and the final products need bribery? How bad the governments and The Parties really are? Update – Sweden telecom giant Ericsson will pay over $1 billion to settle US corruption charges ericsson-us-corruption-settlement
It looks that the super sales managers that these giants are employing are super talented at bribing Governments and other large organizations. USA found a similar pattern during the 2008-2009 financial crisis investigations (people were rotating from governments to rating agencies and to investment banks, creating a small circle of corruption that almost shut down The Planet). I remember I had the same shock when I saw a picture of Lee Iacocca, wearing a strange masonic costume (Knights of Malta) at a meeting at where he was accused of handpicking his suppliers – let me find that picture for you – see link below) Knights of Malta
7. How much will Political Parties steal from Romania or other countries
I found the right answer, see video
Confession of a former Mayor
“I can’t believe Mr. Mayor that we have nothing left to steal here at the City Hall? Did the ones before us took all, really all?” a former Mayor was asked by one of his City Hall counsels
8. Do we still have Kings ? Do we still have king’s systems? Did they become better than kings or turned back to being kings? What are the real differences?
“The powerful have always preyed on the powerless, that’s how they became powerful in the first place.”
Tyrion Lannister (George R.R. Martin)
We may be running after the wrong targets. We killed the kings but the society remains like in an article written before the French Revolution. It means that this is the template we keep organizing ourselves while we are in the dark :-(. See the story here The Third Estate
“If you split all the money in the world, evenly, between humans, in a short period, it will go again to the hands of 1%”. Our society is “Wreckable” (see second 30 in the movie), and some people are breaking it at breakfast
9. Mentality – Le Meteque
Companies’ survival is related to your training for exquisite customer care and customer orientation mentality. Companies’ survival is connected to teaching you to work long hours. Our mentality is outstanding standards and customer care.
Then it is your turn to be served by your employees, to receive a service that is already paid, that is mandatory to be paid and you are treated like a pariah (metic, meteque). How do you feel ?. How do you feel for not having the option to choose another supplier for bureaucracy services?
How do you feel when they tell you things like
– “You have the right to one question. So what is your question ?” (even when it is their mess)
– Sorry but there is a mistake in our procedure and we can not deduct that expenses
– Sorry but there is no double taxation treaty, you must pay your taxes in 2 or 3 countries
– Sorry but we only recognize your income, not the mortgage direct related to the income.
(Companies are treated differently so remember to become a company – if governments are creating and supporting companies, be one, to get better tax treatments – see richdad.com for why, how and what type of company you should choose)
This is not a space ship that belongs to Humanity but to the companies created by us. At least this is the feedback that I got from this Black Box called Democracy ( ! Democracy through Representatives that Represent Only Themselves !)

10. Justice Department – my 2 pence help
10.1. A movie about the past and the present
Blacklist movie (Netflix.com) – Series 3, Episode 10, Minute 27:04, Length 1 minute
10.2. A photo of how the prosecutors, judges, and lawyers are prepared by communist forces. The photo depicts a group exiting their class next to a mountain villa.
I saw it but I ignore it at that time. (update – found it recently – now it is your turn to find the pictures from your country – keep searching is about a receipt that is borrowed between empires) It is AI job to find it again, or your job (I will come back here),
Anyway you will need confessions and stories from these guys (from each country :-()
10.3. The Future The Universe is not on our side. The Universal Justice is not on our side.
If you don’t believe me, ask The Dinosaurs. The real ones who’s skeleton you can find in museums.
The Universe killed them all with one stone. Too big for them, peanuts for The Universe.
….
OOOOO ! We can not ask the Dinosaurs. They are all dead.
P.S. If you forget everything that I ever write just keep in mind this
“Take care that no one will ever say in The Future, ‘We can not ask Humanity, there is No One left'”
“Take care that somewhere in The Future someone can still ask questions about The Universe, us or anybody else”
The real question should be “How can we survive in a pulsating Universe that is blowing completely from time to time ?”
Starting point = A dying planet next to a nice star, that will explode in The Future.
“All the other things are Pyrrhic Wars (Another victory like this and we are lost (A Smart General)) ”
“Another such victory and I come back to Epirus alone.
(Ne ego si iterum eodem modo uicero, sine ullo milite Epirum reuertar)”
Orosius
….
Look at this old story and compare it with what we are doing now Cain_and_Abel.
11. Saddam Hussein tribe rules are ruling The World
I saw a movie about Saddam Hussein and they present their tribal rules “Do not steal or kill inside your tribe”. And no other rule about this.
The more you look at the world, the more you see that it is ruled by the same tribal idea. The only difference is that we have different kinds of tribes, geographical or virtual and somehow invisible.
12. A KGB / Securitate General was a hero for 1 million people in Romania until 1989.
After the Romanian People Revolution (1989) he is not a hero. I did not see any statue, yet.
How can you explain that?
How do you think the media and books are controlled by empires?
I started to figure it out … to be continued
From the memory of the pages of “Red Horizons” red by Free Europe Radio during the Cold War to Angela Merkel, mourning each year at a grave of a German “traitor” that had the courage to fight Hitler, you will find in Pacepa’s books that that history has “pedagogical lies” and “imperial lies” that keep your brains in “artificial prisons”.
Generally speaking, only those who do not want to find out, do not find out.
Thank you for all these great books, and other things that will be revealed only in the future, from other centuries, backward.
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Henry Adams
13. What is in the mind of a Politician (The Exchangers)?
Recently I heard very sad rhetorical confessions like
“Trust the current political class! She is only thinking about her future!”
“The family is the small homeland and the homeland is the big family! Being a strange type of patriots, too often politicians are serving the little country first”
…
Looking into the matter one can see that there are also intermediate levels that must also be served (parties, groups of various types, and degrees of visibility …).
The day a lawyer told me that he could build a Chinese wall in his head to ensure independence between two clauses, I realized that politicians, along with other officials or “friends” that are running our countries, are actually:
– some zombies who have made Chinese walls and boxes in their heads and choose daily whether to serve the family, the President, the country, the Government, the party, the citizens, the Empire of his choice, the Empire disguised, the city, the county … and here the list is a bit long … and you can’t really serve too many Chinese boxes that appear in your life and your brain at the same time.
The expression “what’s in the mouth of politicians is also in their head” is just smoke and mirror. Politicians, or The Exchangers as I named them, are prisoners of parties and other interests and have no way to tell the truth for many minutes a day.
“There is no truth in war” – I think I will have to expand the expression a bit.
“The truth is hard to find at people that have group responsibilities, marketing targets and are close to election day”.
Recently I heard another sad expression
“He is a stupid man that chooses to be a hero instead of looking into the group interest”
We send our smart kids to work in difficult environments, but as long as the FBI Chief is chosen by The President and not directly elected by us, he will respond to other interests first. We sent our kids to environments where they receive a promotion if they bring votes and cash to a party. As long as we do not discover the fundamental things that would improve our society we arrest Nixon for no long-term gain and grow smart zombies that are not allowed to tell us what is really happening.
Meanwhile, the FBI guy who got Nixon down was fired and the reporter got a Pulitzer prize for what? What are the FBI employees think about when this happened. How is this influencing their decisions on their daily work? How is their daily zombi life?
“For most people, things are starting and ending outside their field of view and perception”

Dogs are undoubtedly one of the friendliest animals in the world towards their owners. Empathetic and companionable, they’re almost like us in their regular lives. Dogs have hobbies and food preferences, they adore active lifestyle, games, and a good sleep. But most importantly — they make us happy and teach us how to enjoy every day of our lives by their own example.
Dogs are a boon to photographers, who love shooting wild animals and nature, yet, these pets are very prone to get into funny situations too. There are hundreds of viral videos and photos, which were taken by vigilant owners and uploaded on the Internet, where different dog breeds make everyone around laugh because of their inborn cheerfulness (and clumsiness). There’s even more of amusing materials stored on flash drivers or external HDDs all around the world. After a few months of ownership, it’s OK to find your whole phone or camera gallery conquered by the images of your pet in all kinds of positions, situations and moods.
Plenty of similar photos in the camera memory is a very common problem for people who like to imprint the most significant moments of their friendship with pets. Moreover, it’s a big trouble when among dog photos you can’t find some important images. Such significant, yet, memo polluting shots accumulate on your SD card until there’s no empty space for new pictures. Fortunately, modern technologies can help you even in such complicated situation.
To sort out the best photos and get rid of duplicates you’ll need to spend hours and hours of monotone manual scrolling. Are you ready to lose a whole day for such questionable enjoyment? If the answer is “no”, then Brian AI will be the best choice of assistant for you. Using all the latest achievements in artificial intelligence researches, we created an app which can do all photo systematization job without any user’s help.
Based on sophisticated algorithms, Brian AI organizes all available images according to their content. Its potential is almost unlimited — app easily finds your nursling midst any landscape and among other dogs. Application attaches key tags, generated by Google Vision and GoogLeNet Inception services, to the photo, which means you can quickly find some specific image amid thousands of them. Application analyzes dog’s breed, coloration, clothes and surroundings, identifies dog’s snout features and unique marks. Brian AI can manage all your dog photos in seconds despite their big quantity or poor quality.
Apart from filtration and management, our app can systematize images according to their tags into albums. It can analyze focus, blur, angle of the photo, automatically choose the best one from the series of similar shots, and then delete the others with one click of yours. The search amidst photos was never so simple as with Brian AI — you can put in required tag and get results immediately, or use the right-sided menu with all the tags collected in one place. About even more functions of this app you can learn by this link.
A unique feature of our application is, of course, its ability to educate. Artificial intelligence can boost its productivity and accuracy using your photo archive thanks to built-in mechanisms based on deep learning technology. The more you use it, the more exact results you get. By repetitive analysis of your pet’s photos, Brian AI can train to recognize its 10 year old appearance, which would be very convenient if you haven’t put in order your SD’s memory in a while.
If you need to sort your pictures into albums with a need for further exploitation, then, again, Brian AI, which you can find on http://www.brianai.com, is a must-have. Sell a whole bunch of same-thematic photos, make a presentation-like movie demonstrating pictures according to their photographing date from the oldest ones up to the newest, upload images from social networks — do whatever you need with your brand-new systematized archive. Brian AI is suitable for every desktop, computer or mobile phone, so there’s no need to transfer pictures from different devices. Only for $10 you’ll get a whole arsenal of AI instruments and a constant support from our consultants, which is nothing compared with a convenience of Brian AI application.
Modern technologies have made our lives much easier and comfortable by taking away a need of hand-operated functions, but today their sphere of influence is growing day by day. Artificial intelligence-based applications like Brian AI are the examples of how high tech can be used in our everyday lives. Download it and use its full potential to make your life much more systematized!
