Book

  • Moved interview with a biased machine to the front of the book since it could be a nice attention grabber
  • Started on the Egalitarianism section
  • Added some stuff to the technology section – Paleolithic and Early modern Human technologies. I’ll probably move the Paleolithic tech to the Egalitarianism section since it explains a lot about that behavior and the amount of evolutionary adaptation that took place around it. We do not look like the other great apes. This is why.

SBIRs

  • Good chat with Steve. Suggested how to create and visualize multiple attribute maps to see how the loss function is working
  • Worked out next steps with Rukan:
    • try predicting more than one point
    • try sine wave
    • loss function over 256 collecting loss, but maybe try 16 or some smaller number first
    • try to train for better convergence to see if it fixes the indexing issue
    • fix the indexing issue
    • try pytorch hyperparameter optimizer, probably just LR
  • And I’m generating good RCS code!
