Yesterday I started a new crochet sample and did a pile of ambivalent research on period sewing manuals. I’m looking for clues on handling bias on delicate fabrics, since I’m not super pleased with the machine staystitching. For the next one I think I will try using hand running stitches, and if that doesn’t work, some kind of starch or stabilizer either in the fabric or underneath as a tear-away thing.
At work I got all my tests to pass! Hooray! So I ported the last bunch of unit tests from the old format, dealing with the last few sensor/effectors. Found an infinite loop in the state machine, so that’s next. Met with F and M and contributed “treat it like a parameter we’ll want to tune and plot later” answers to a bunch of implementation-choice questions. There’s also a lot of “doing it right would be arduous but that’s not always necessary in neural nets, so we’re going to try the easy but dubious way first and revisit if that doesn’t work” happening in this project.
Meeting ran late so P picked me up and drove us home. Sat for a bit, then dinner, crossword, Legends, sleep. Avoided the bedtime panic attack by having water instead of snack, but not sure that’s sustainable.
