But today I've got something special.

Introducing: Sushi AI: The world's first sushi powered feed forward neural network. Through the magic of matrix algebra and a complex network of trawls, they've discovered a way to harness the power of a raw fish, seaweed, and Sriracha mayo for some reason, to generate, what some are calling "an abomination of nature."

The way it works is that data (rolls of sushi) moves in only one direction: forward from the input layer (ordering with the waiter), through the hidden layer (the kitchen), and to the output layer (also the waiter, but in a serving capacity).

Loss Calculation works by measuring how wrong 'the prediction' (how good I think the sushi is going to be) is compared to the 'real answer' (how good the sushi be). Then, backpropagation happens. The error (the difference between how good the sushi was minus how good id thought it'd be) travels backward (gets send to management via customer satisfaction survey) to adjust weights and biases (girthiness of rolls and ratio of ingredients) using gradient descent (complicated sushi math), helping the network make better guesses (sushi) next time.

No, not the Fyre Festival, this is the FIRE Festival. Remember how The Green Center had an "Ode to Corn" festival a few weeks back? I think its like that, except for fire instead of corn. I hope they have a festival for each of the Captain Planet powers (Corn, Wind, Fire, Water... you know the ones).

Here's what they say about it:
"This long-running, mesmerizing festival held in conjunction with Aalim & Chuvani Bellydance troupes and Scheherazade Drums has been delighting our community for years. This beloved event combines the enchanting fire dancing traditions with the simple joy of gathering around a fire."

In the past, tickets have been $10 in advance, $15 at the door. I'll update when I have more info.
