SWILL was fan magazine created in February 1981 in response to the controversy created with in Ontario science fiction fandom by a fake boycott poster distributed at the 1979 Maplecon by Neil Williams an his cohorts (Lester Rainsford and Andrew Hoyt). The fake boycott poster was intended as a surreal joke (you could only obtain the poster by already attending the convention the poster is advocating that you boycott) and appeared to spark actual animosity between the Ottawa fan group and the Toronto fan group. Supposedly the Ottawa fan group was "really angry" with the Toronto fan group. The powers-that-be in the Toronto fan group were going to find out who was responsible and punish them... And so issue #1 of SWILL was published.Trigger Warning: The original issues of SWILL (1 through 6, 6.5a through 6.5c, and 7) were all written prior to the emergence of "modern sensibilities" and may be disturbing to some groups. Foul language is often used.In particular: people who are weight-challenged, people who are LGBT+, people who are mentally challenged, people who are science fiction "trufans", people who are science fiction "mediafans", people who are comic book fans, people who are comic book retailers, people who are used book retailers, people who are androphobic radical feminists, and people who are satanistic fascist Republicans, to name a few of the groups who may find the original issues of SWILL to be offensive.SWILL was a critique on science fiction and science fiction fandom. The original issues were crude and unsophisticated in their arguments and analysis; the analysis was more aimed at attacking "sacred cows" of science fiction fandom of the 1980s.SWILL #7 is a twentieth anniversary issue that was published online. The critiques are more sophisticated and less foul language is employed.No copies can be found of SWILL #6 which was published in December of 1981. Nor can any copies be found of SWILL #6.5c (Daughter of Swill, Mother of Scum -- third trimester) published in 1985. This volume contains reconstructions of those missing issues based on the author's memory (his recollections of SWILL 6.5c are superior -- he thinks -- to his memories of SWILL #6). On the issue numbering system... In 2011, when I began publishing SWILL again to mark the magazine's thirtieth anniversary, I completely forgot about the Daughter of Swill, Mother of Scum issues. The twentieth anniversary issue SWILL Online became issue #7 and the February 2011 issue was SWILL #8. However, a little chaos works with SWILL.

Flying stories have held a fascination from time immemorial, from the legend of Icarus to the jet age. This is a book of flying stories, but with a difference. All of these stories are true, covering the experiences of the author as a test, demonstration, airshow, film, jet charter, and competition aerobatic pilot. The stories include aircraft from the early flying machines to modern military and civil jets. Here you will read of the exultation of a first solo in a Spitfire, the desolation of being lost over the Indian ocean at night, short of fuel in a jet bomber, the sickening fear of hurtling earthwards out of control, the humor of receiving a parking ticket after a forced landing, the shattering experience of crashing an airplane in front of a crowd of 80,000 people, and the unbelievable story of how the author crash landed an airplane after a wing folded in flight, which gained him the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air. A wide and exciting variety of aircraft are covered including the Mosquito, Sopwith Pup, Hunter, Scimitar, Meteor, Yak, Heinkel, Falcon, and many others. The Magic of flight is here to be shared; the tranquility, the excitement, the terror, the humor, and the adventure.

"The Derelict is really a story of two derelicts - the events on the first and their part in the creation of the second. With this story I've pretty much nailed my colours to the mast, so to speak. As the tale is intended as a tribute to stories by the likes of William Hope Hodgson or H P Lovecraft (with a passing nod to Coleridge's Ancient Mariner), where some terrible event is related in an unearthed journal or (as is the case here) by a narrator driven to near madness.The primary influence on the story was the voyage of the Demeter, from Bram Stoker's Dracula, one of the more compelling episodes of that novel. Here the crew are irrevocably doomed from the moment they set sail. There is never any hope of escape or salvation once the nature of their cargo becomes apparent. This was to be my jumping off point with The Derelict. Though I have charted a very different course from the one taken by Stoker, I have tried to remain resolutely true to the spirit of that genre of fiction and the time in which it was set." -Neil Williams

DESCRIPTION GPT has redefined the landscape of AI, enabling the creation of powerful language models capable of diverse applications. The objective of the Python GPT Cookbook is to equip readers with practical recipes and foundational knowledge to build business solutions using GPT and Python.The book is divided into four parts. The first covers the basics, the second teaches the fundamentals of NLP, the third delves into applying GPT in various fields, and the fourth provides a conclusion. Each chapter includes recipes and practical insights to help readers deepen their understanding and apply the concepts presented. This cookbook approach delivers 78 practical recipes, including creating OpenAI accounts, utilizing playgrounds and API keys. You will learn text preprocessing, embeddings, fine-tuning, and GPT integration with Hugging Face. Learn to implement GPT using PyTorch and TensorFlow, convert models, and build authenticated actions. Applications include chatbots, email summarization, DBA copilots, and use cases in marketing, sales, IP, and manufacturing.By the end of the book, readers will have a robust understanding of GPT models and how to use them for real-world NLP tasks, along with the skills to continue exploring this powerful technology independently.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN● Learn Python, OpenAI, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and vector databases.● Master Python for NLP applications and data manipulation.● Understand and implement GPT models for various tasks.● Integrate GPT with various architectural components, such as databases, third-party APIs, servers, and data pipelines● Utilise NLTK, PyTorch, and TensorFlow for advanced NLP projects.● Use Jupyter for interactive coding and data analysis.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORThe Python GPT Cookbook is for IT professionals and business innovators who already have basic Python skills. Data scientists, ML engineers, NLP engineers, and ML researchers will also find it useful.
