Hike in the snow yesterday:

Nice post about the disintegration of the useful internet

Tasks

  • Showing at 3:15. Get the car washed while waiting. Nope, Wednesday now
  • Hotels! Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt – done

SBIRs

  • Write a Gutenberg parser that splits the beginning and ends off books and looks for weird formatting (e.g. lists of numbers, a single pix, etc.) The output should go in the ‘processed’ folder. Then use that folder to create csv (pickle?) files of each book with embeddings in them. Nope. Can’t log in because CMMI has killed the minds of IT. It’s a “known problem.” They are “working on it.” Soooooooo angry.
  • After waiting for 5 hours, I can now log into my laptop. It was easy, but required Hidden Knowledge. Which didn’t need to be Hidden.
  • Put together the white paper proposal for Neural Network Learning Capacity on Parametric Function
