Hey Daniel, Happy birthday and congrats for publishing your first novel. Since you published the video, I've been listening to your storytelling during my evening walks and so far I've been loving it. I guess I'm going to buy the book to know how the story ends and I'm also extremely happy that my small contribution we'll help you to fund your future projects. By the way, you should seriously consider the idea of making an "official" audio version of the book with you as narrator.

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you thank you Mat! And as for an official audio version, stay tuned!

The below does not work and is not even right, but if you get the gist then great. changable_tensor = tf.Variable([‘Good’, ‘Read’]) changable_tensor[0].assign(‘Happy’) changable_tensor[1].assign(‘Birthday’)

[@mrdbourke]

I understand completely! thank you Sean :)
