+= Week 12
+Making Baselines
+
+== Holiday and personal life
+
+- Holiday was very relaxed, didn't do a lot
+- I have a boyfriend now
+- I have surgery on feb-18
+  - makes it hard to concentrate on university right now
+- finished up QCQP course
+- Starting grading of FQI exams, I might do it over the weekend
+
+== Training-Free QAS@training-free
+
+- Tried to reproduce, but circuits did not end up admissible.
+  - still didn't work with sampling change
+  - was not even close, at least a 10x worse performance of the outputs
+  - probably missed a step
+- Similar performance in time though
+- Sent a mail to the correspondent author
+
+== Genetic Algorithm QAS@genetic-expressibility
+
+- Tried to reproduce
+  - the circuits get mixed
+  - I can sort on the expressibilities
+  - They approximate the curve found in the paper
+  - I have done some hyperparameter exploration
+- Still to do
+  - make actual plots
+  - compare the output circuit performance
+- Also contacted authors
+  - While I think I did it correctly, I am not certain
+
 = Week 6
