This is one hell of a thread:

GPT Agents

• Moved the synthetic agents paper to the ijcai format and shared the Overleaf version with Antonio

Also:

GOES

• Work on script generator and reader

Book

• Working on Hierarchies, Networks, and Technology. New technologies may have the same arc as writing and printing, which is initial hierarchy that produces influence networks that counter (to a degree), the more aggressive aspects of a dominance hierarchy
• Meeting with Michelle

MDS

• Discussion with Aaron about phase2
• Wrote up thoughts and sent to Clay

And just so we remember that the pandemic is not going well here. For comparison, the battle that took the most American lives was Antietam, where there were 3,675 fatalities if you count both sides.

Need to look into replacing JetBrains

GOES

• Slide deck for 2:00 meeting
• 11:00 AI-ML meeting
• 2:00 Sim discussion. We have until the end of March to come up with a compelling demo
• More script generator. I need to write a method that searches through a Measurement list looking for the last value before a datetime
  • Need to map the names in the database to the desired name for the sim

MDS

• Write up notes from meeting and distribute
• Write up a couple of paragraphs for Clay

GPT Agents

• More coding
• ML group meeting

Book

• More Hierarchies, Networks, and Technology

Georgia is looking promising! Maryland is trying to be more flexible in its vaccinations!

And then later in the afternoon, this happened:

MDS

• 10:00 meeting with Aaron and Peter
  • Create pipeline for data (what does it look like?) and FOM evaluation (input/output)
  • Who creates the sim and generates the data?
  • Who feeds that into the FOM?
  • Can all this run locally?
  • Write up notes
• Meeting with Clay
  • Write up two paragraphs on phase 2 thoughts

GOES

• Slide deck for tomorrow’s meeting
• More work on script generator

GPT Agents

• Created a local version of the IJCAI paper project. Need to fit the format and then create the Overleaf project and share with Antonio
• Do some coding, dammit

JuryRoom

• 5:00 Huri Whakatau meeting

Book

• Continue Hierarchies, Networks, and Technology
• Found Charting the “Rise of the West”: Manuscripts and Printed Books in Europe, A Long-Term Perspective from the Sixth through Eighteenth Centuries, which is very cool.

Voting in Georgia today. I am pessimistic but hopeful about the outcome

GPT Agents

• I’m not sure if the meeting is today at 3:30 or Friday at 4:00?
  • It was today. Continuing on trying to figure out the best way to understand the behavior of the model. One of the interesting findings for today was that if the data isn’t in the dataset, then the model will start generating tokes at the meta wrapper.
• More coding

Book

• Working on what’s become Hierarchies, Networks, and Technology, and I think I’m now happy with where it’s going. It makes sense to use as the end of the chapter as well
• Made a cool figure:

GOES

• The Lambda box was cancelled. Sigh
• 11:00 Meeting with Vadim
• I’m going to start on a script-reading capability for TopController. I think a JSON or XML file that contains the following elements:
  • Absolute or relative move
  • axis name
  • Target (HPR or XYZ)
  • Timestamp
  • Required accuracy
• So a move could be a series of HPR coordinates that ‘play’. The first step is a MOVE command which includes the filename. The TopController opens the file (or fails and reports it), loads the move into memory and begins to step through it based on the timestamp. On reaching the end of the file and when the AngleController reports success/failure, the TopController reports DONE and is ready for the next MOVE
• Downloading the yaw flip maneuver from influx:

Have to get my fingers used to typing a new date

Book:

• Working on the section about displaying. I found Mike, the chimp that used the Kerosene cans. There’s apparently a paper as well, so I put in a request
• Loading data about democracies from here (ourworldindata.org/democracy) into my db for better queries and charts. I want to look at recent changes in authoritarian systems as social technologies have changed in the last couple of decades

GOES

• 11:00 Meeting with Vadim
• More sparring with Biruh?

MDA

• Need some kind of kickoff with the technical folks?

GPT Agents

• Continue coding
• Antonio found another venue, but it means pulling the paper down to SIX pages, Need to look into that (IJCAI-21 Call for Papers – IJCAI 2021 (ijcai-21.org))
