📂 Project: Business
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore the mathematical analysis of economic surplus from a Marxist perspective, alongside diagnosing and debugging PromptFlow failures.

Key Activities

  • Conducted a technical analysis of surplus value, discussing Marxist definitions, production functions, and critiques from marginalist perspectives.
  • Explored methodologies for measuring surplus value, including international comparisons and temporal evolution.
  • Implemented a Python solution for session categorization using keyword matching, with Markdown output rendering.
  • Diagnosed PromptFlow failures for May 20, identifying issues with metadata handling and proposing a patch.
  • Enhanced error handling and logging for PromptFlow scripts to address silent crashes, with rerun commands for specific days.
  • Developed a bag of words entry for a poverty-related project, focusing on normalization and keyword matching.
  • Outlined an afternoon strategic reset plan, emphasizing productivity and strategic planning for poverty measurement and automation.

Achievements

  • Clarified the complexities in measuring economic surplus and the variability across different economic contexts.
  • Successfully diagnosed PromptFlow issues and proposed a solution to handle metadata problems.
  • Improved script reliability through enhanced error handling and logging.

Pending Tasks

  • Implement the proposed patch for PromptFlow metadata handling.
  • Continue refining the bag of words framework for the poverty project.
