First, I apologise to the abstractions or gods that hold me accountable to weeknotes, as I am writing this on Monday morning (“the morning after”) on account of a Sunday riveted to another digital undertaking, about which more soon. I took a breather from Rheo development this week to participate in the second week of an online interpretability intensive at the Digital Theory Lab run by Tyler Shoemaker. I have been collaborating with Tyler for a year or so now on research that is nearing publication readiness, and it was great to see him in his element: namely, a Jupyter notebook.
I also got set up with OBS so that I can livestream some research work later this month. I played around with some livestreams this time last year, and despite their resplendent inconspicuousness in the world of views and likes, I nevertheless found the exercise very helpful. (The phrasing ‘even though… I nevertheless’ seems to be something of a pattern in evaluations of my publicly posted research.) So I will take to the binary skies again in the coming weeks, likely with passengers like Rheo and an agential harness in tow.
