D20

• Start putting together a submission for ACM IX?
• There are a lot of countries. Below are just the ones that start with a “C”. Maybe we need a GIS interface? Centering on your location? We could adjust the sorting based on radial distance?

COVID Misinfo. Mostly just flailing today to make up for my highly productive yesterday

• Just discovered Pushshift.io and the API for Reddit (https://github.com/pushshift/api)
• GitHub has a strict file limit of 100MB
• Tried things like hard resets, but in the end I had to check out the project again.

• I got asynchronous mode working:

  write_options = WriteOptions(batch_size=200,
                               flush_interval=1000,
                               jitter_interval=0,
                               retry_interval=1000)
  write_api = client.write_api(write_options=write_options)
  for i in range(len(self.measurement_list)):
      t = self.measurement_list[i]
      p = Point(self.name).field(self.keyfield, t[0]).time(t[1])
      for key, val in self.tags_dict.items():
          p.tag(key, val)
      write_api.write(bucket=bucket_name, record=p)
      print("to_influx {}".format(p.to_line_protocol()))
  write_api.__del__()

• I had a scare that I was dropping data silently, but it was just outside of the time window for the query
• Weird problem with tags. It appears that the value part can’t be unique for every row? I wanted to label samples uniquely, but it seems to corrupt the read somehow
• Queries
• Work with Biruh to figure out his Influx issues? Nope, ghosted for now
• 11:00 IRAD Meeting
  • Very scattered, but upshot for me is to create a few slides to show the overall concept and have those refer back to the document
  • I also found, this link from protocol about how the government is trying to defend against fooling attacks: DARPA is pouring millions into a new AI defense program. Here are the companies leading the charge
    • Intel and Georgia Tech are spearheading Pentagon-backed efforts to defend against attacks that could trick tomorrow’s self-driving cars, facial recognition and weapons detection software.
• 2:00 NOAA Meeting
  • Just status. Clearly everything is sliding
