Vanyo, James John: my Army recollections (March 15, and 17, 2012)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Private/Trooper James John Vanyo Private James Vanyo served as a radio operator in ‘A’ Squadron of the in the Fort Garry Horse armoured regiment. The Navy was Jim’s first choice when joined the army when he was fifteen, but his tender years only allowed him into the army; after his eighteenth birthday he trained in England and crossed into Normandy on D-Day. For the next eleven months Jim battled with his fellow tankmen working the radios he loved so much. Jim heard the order to “stand fast” when his regiment held Oldenburg, Germany in May of 1945. By the time of this interview, Jim was eighty-seven and both he and his wife, Irene, stated that had the interview been completed two years prior, his recall would have been much more complete.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
