Strawberry picking now needs me every day, as opposed to less days! But Alisi and Joe are letting me just work half-days because I'm writing a book. My chapter one is short, but kicks off with a very dense common lisp function that spawns hopfield net closures. The dense code serves a few purposes. Latently, the closures are useable and useful in common lisp (and via ecl, C). This code is also my own definition of a binary Hopfield network with rectified quadratic activation, connected from Krotov and Hopfield 2016. However, the logic and code itself is not very desirable to play with changing. Anyway, I did the deep-learning-doing-XOR thing. Participation and criticism requested! ! I didn't write the appendix yet, wherein I intend to explain asdf (basically put my cl-binry-hop/ gopher directory into ~/common-lisp/ in order to use it like chapter 1).
