notes

• images for training you should be a sizeable amount of well lit, unobstrcuted (glasses/hair/etc.) and generally similar looking for best results
• training for more than 6 hours can hurt final results, if you're unsure see "make download-preview" to see how training's going
• simple config changes available at the tops of code/swapper.sh and code/aws.js that may be useful inc. debug & automation options
