7:00 – 8:00, 4:00 – 5:00 Research
- Finished the first pass at the poster in LaTex. I dunno. I might try Illustrator and make something pretty(er).
- Built the latests paper and poster and sent to Don for this afternoon’s meeting
- Facebook is rolling out its new tool against fake news.
- FiveThirtyEight’s take on r/TheDonald

- I don’t think my plots are right. Going to add some points to verify…
- First, build a matrix of all the values. Then we can visualize as a surface, and look for the best values after calculation
- Okay………. So there is a very weird bug that Aaron stumbled across in running python scripts from the command line. There are many, many, many thoughts on this, and it comes from a legacy issue between py2 and py3 apparently. So, much flailing:
python -i -m OptimizedClustererPackage.DBSCAN_clusterer.py python -m OptimizedClustererPackage\DBSCAN_clusterer.py C:\Development\Sandboxes\TensorflowPlayground\OptimizedClustererPackage>C:\Users\philip.feldman\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe -m C:\Development\Sandboxes\TensorflowPlayground\OptimizedClustererPackage\DBSCAN_clusterer.py
…etc…etc…etc…
- After I’d had enough of this, I realized that the IDE is running all of this just fine, so something works. So, following this link, I set the run config to “Show command line afterwards”:
The outputs are very helpful:
C:\Users\philip.feldman\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe C:\Users\philip.feldman\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\plugins\python\helpers\pydev\pydev_run_in_console.py 60741 60742 C:/Development/Sandboxes/TensorflowPlayground/OptimizedClustererPackage/cluster_optimizer.py
- Editing out the middle part, we get
C:\Users\philip.feldman\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe C:/Development/Sandboxes/TensorflowPlayground/OptimizedClustererPackage/cluster_optimizer.py
And that worked! Note the backslashes on the executable and the forward slashes on the argument path.
- Update #1. Aaron’s machine was not able to run a previous version of the code, so we poked at the issues, and I discovered that I had left some code in my imports that was not in his code. It’s the Solution #4: Use absolute imports and some boilerplate code“section from this StackOverflow post. Specifically, before importing the local files, the following four lines of code need to be added:
import sys # if you haven't already done so from pathlib import Path # if you haven't already done so root = str(Path(__file__).resolve().parents[1]) sys.path.append(root)
- After which, you can add your absolute imports as I do in the next two lines:
from OptimizedClustererPackage.protobuf_reader import ProtobufReader from OptimizedClustererPackage.DBSCAN_clusterer import DBSCANClusterer
- And that seems to really, really, really work (so far).


note that there are at least three pdfs, though the overall best overall value doesn’t change
