Synth Riff Morning Jams
This series of jams will start with a synth riff or figure of some kind. This time it is a Zebra 2 patch called "HS Rhode Lady." I put bass on with my Rondo Douglass Violin bass and discovered that the bridge pickup is dead. I will have to take that apart to see what is going on. Fortunately, the neck pickup sounds good.

The Colorado River is officially contaminated with invasive zebra mussels. Can the state stop the spread?
The Colorado River from Glenwood Springs to the Utah border is now considered positive for zebra mussels, an invasive species known to devastate ecosystems and clog critical infrastructure.

ZEBRA: Leveraging Model-Behavioral Knowledge for Zero-Annotation Preference Dataset Construction
Recent efforts in LLM alignment have focused on constructing large-scale preference datasets via human or Artificial Intelligence (AI) annotators. However, such approaches rely on instance-wise supervision, incurring substantial annotation cost and limited interpretability. In this paper, we propose ZEBRA - a model behavior-wise zero-annotation framework that constructs preference data by leveraging model behavior knowledge derived from benchmark performances. ZEBRA binarizes response pairs by …

Zebra-CoT: A Dataset for Interleaved Vision Language Reasoning
Humans often use visual aids, for example diagrams or sketches, when solving complex problems. Training multimodal models to do the same, known as Visual Chain of Thought (Visual CoT), is challenging due to: (1) poor off-the-shelf visual CoT performance, which hinders reinforcement learning, and (2) the lack of high-quality visual CoT training data. We introduce $\textbf{Zebra-CoT}$, a diverse large-scale dataset with 182,384 samples, containing logically coherent interleaved text-image reasoni…

Still More Morning Jams
The progression on this one is stolen from "Sultans of Swing." I learned the chords from a Mary Spender video. The organ is from Zebra 2. The guitar is my Strat through a ToneLib AC-30 Topboost sim.
