Swear I had a reference for arms somewhere-

I FINALLY decided what mutant Miwa would be- a black throated monitor lizard! She's pretty big and a total badass

She's 6 years older than the turtles and went through a uh... REALLY bad rebellious teenager phase. Rn in story she's 21 and got her head on right, but she still has all the piercings and tattoos from running with some gangs. Most people are scared of mutants so she ended up kind of suckered into groups who use mutants for their abilities... luckily, she still had a safe home to go to at the end of the day

She's closest to Mikey, actually, but she and Raph hang out a LOT and just vibe

Dead Immortal: Part 3

Part 1, Part 2

Our MC attempts to greet members of the village, and see if there's any available shelter. I was hoping to post this earlier this morning, but, well, life was life-ing so it's here now.

As always, at the end there will be a poll to decide what happens next!

+++++

When the villagers wave, you finally recognize where you are. The Kaeltiira region, far, far to the north of the kingdom you'd recently... terrorized. Okay, you'll admit it. Maybe your actions were a bit disruptive, but they really were necessary.

Anyway. You've been here before, once, but that was so many centuries ago that it might as well be new.

"Hello." You say in Common, once they've approached. Common. The language of conquest and the language of blood. But also the language most people would know, at least haltingly, out of necessity. You hope your battered appearance and lack of visible weapons help to communicate you're not a threat.

The trio glances amongst themselves, as if not entirely sure how to respond.

"Hello. You.... traveler?" One responds hesitantly. A woman, with tan skin and dark brown hair in a long braid. Bits of soil still cling to her skirt where she was tending to the garden. Her accent is very thick, and you rack your brain, trying to see if you can place it enough to speak in these people's native language, but you come up short.

You nod.

"Where you from?" She asks. You consider mentioning the name of your old kingdom, but hesitate. This early on, it would be best, you think, if no one knows who you are. It would give you a chance to recuperate and gather your strength before the Guard decides it's time to send another hunt for your head.

"I wander. I've traveled the woods for days, but I don't really have any home in particular." You say instead.

"No home." Not so much a question, and more a confirmation of understanding. You nod again.

"Is there anywhere I might be able to stay the night? I can be gone by morning." Ideally you might get to stay longer, you have no idea where the next village is or how long of a trek it would be, but you also don't want to push it.

The woman who'd asked you those few questions turns to her companions. They converse rapidly in a language that was almost familiar, but try as you might you can't understand. Another member, a slightly younger woman gestures back to the village as if trying to make a point. You're not sure if it's in your favor or not.

Finally, they turn back. "Come."

Leaving you no chance to respond, they turn towards the village proper. As you approach, you start to get a sense for the layout. Most of the huts are round, and form a ring around a central gathering space. A few trees grow on the edge of it, creating some shade, but the center is clear, and trampled enough it's mostly packed earth.

Finally you reach a smaller hut on the far side of the village. The woman who's been speaking with you gestures with her chin. "Traveler home. Stay tonight. Next day you talk to the leader."

"Thank you." you say, and duck inside. It's modest, but still nice. Light is coming in from the doorway, and on the far end, there's a window, with a wooden frame that seems like it could be placed to block out the extra light if needed. The ground is swept and a sleeping mat lies against one of the walls. A good place to spend the night.

edit: i have absolutely NO idea what that fourth poll option is, i just accidentally made an empty option and tumblr autofilled and i can't fix it. yay!

As always, if you want the story to go in a direction that's not reflected in the poll, feel free to drop your preferences in comments/reblogs/tags

Lucy is just murdering all of them at once. Good for her

[coffebits]

Pardon me, I know this blog appears to be abandoned but in case you ever return, I noticed the link for your "My Art" page says 'url not found.' It's because tumblr changed the way they link tags in December 2021 or os, replacing the hyphen that formerly autofilled in spaces with "%20." To fix it, you could edit the hyperlink to my%20art or you can go to "edit appearance" and toggle the setting in "url handling" and keep the original link.

It’s not abandoned anymore yay!!🥳🥳

Oh, I had no idea 😱 thank you so much for telling me 🥺 the only problem is that… I- :’) I’m totally a grandma when it comes to technology :’) I’ll try djjdjdj ;v;

[ectoplasmicsoda]

I'm

I went to go to the Tucker/Skulker tag on ao3 cause I saw it autofill as one of the options in the relationship tags.

There were 3! Yay!

No.

They were all ME

Google Prediction API Review

Google Prediction API Review

(No Ratings Yet) Loading...

Unfortunately, I disliked Google Prediction API compared to the decent experience using Amazon Machine Learning and wonderful experience using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning.

RobustTechHouse is a leading web & mobile app development company in Singapore focusing on ECommerce, Mobile-Commerce and Financial Technology (FinTech).

Intro

After doing reviews for Amazon Machine Learning and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning, it was suggested to us that we should do a review for the other Machine Learning service on the cloud by the other tech giant, Google, called Google Prediction API and we obliged.

Pricing

These days, free trials are really a must for services on the cloud. Google Prediction API is no exception as you see below. Their free deal (free $300 credit over 60 days) is better than Microsoft Azure Machine Learning’s which is free $200 credit for 30 days. Yay to Google for this.

They also have an aggressive free quota and free usage limits as follows.

But if you start using it for real in production, you have to pay the following prices mentioned at:

https://cloud.google.com/prediction/pricing

Lets try to compare to Microsoft Azure. Both have base monthly fees of $10 which is very affordable. Microsoft Azure API use count is probably comparable to the Google Prediction API Prediction count. In that case both are $0.50/1000 predictions or transactions but Google is cheaper because their first 10,000 predictions are free while Azure is not.

Documentations and Samples

Documentation is lean and can be found at https://cloud.google.com/prediction/docs/developer-guide

Sample templates and hosted models are also very limited compared to Microsoft Azure. Eg I see a few of the following. Nothing compared to the suite available at Microsoft Azure Machine Learning.

Language Identifier:

Analyzes a sentence to determine whether it is English, Spanish, or French.

Tag Categorizer

Tags a given comment as pertaining to android, appengine, chrome, or youtube. Training data comes from a collection of social media comments.

Sentiment Predictor

Analyzes the sentiment of a short English-language text snippet.

Other scenarios and templates are mentioned at https://cloud.google.com/prediction/docs/scenarios

Running Models

Here comes the tough part. Even though we have prior experience with Machine Learning concepts and a few Machine Learning services on the cloud and libraries, we had a hard time figuring out how to actually use Google Prediction API productively (compared to say Amazon and Azure)

We tried using the API Prediction Explorer and with the lack of on-screen guidance, we found it hard to figure out what we are supposed to put into the fields.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, I disliked Google Prediction API compared to the decent experience using Amazon Machine Learning and wonderful experience using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning. We have been doing a bit of work in Machine Learning for a few years. Even if we understood the terminology, it is difficult for us as developers to figure out quickly how to use it efficiently. Business non-tech users probably shouldn’t try this and developers need to be prepared to spend a bit more time than Amazon or Azure to figure out how to use Google’s Prediction API.

There are a few aspects of Google Prediction API we liked including:

Smart Autofill Spreadsheets as an add-on for doing Machine Learning work directly in Google spreadsheets. That seems useful and interesting. https://cloud.google.com/prediction/docs/smart_autofill_add_on

Google Prediction API has wide support for different internet languages like Go, Java, Javascript .NET, Node.js, Objective-C, PHP, Python, Ruby via HTTP/JSON

So overall if I have to rank the 3, we like Microsoft Azure Machine Learning the most, followed by Amazon Machine Learning, then we like Google Prediction API the least.
