Hey this is great! How long does it take to generate the Wiki when setting up, and what have you found is the best way to keep it up to date?

I think "The Gong Show" was an old tv show about amateur talents. Sometimes good, most of the time terrible and hilariously unaware. Not sure if that was what was intended here.

Yes! It definitely should be

My favorite part here is that it's a noun and a verb

"i-kwan mo yung kwan" -> "just thing the thing"

Blog post is out now https://gretel.ai/blog/introducing-gretel-amplify

They get 43,300 records per second on this example, which seems to the right order of magnitude for you

We have some preliminary work in this direction https://github.com/gretelai/multi-table

I love the idea of "table space" though. It would be fun to traverse this space and output a new database at each step, like a VAE.

We're currently beta testing something that fits this use case directly. The models we have today are really great at capturing the original distribution, but they're not always the fastest. This new stuff will change that, feel free to reach out (maybe on our slack?) and we can see if we can get something working

Thanks for the feedback, I was hoping the course would be something of a redemption.

I self published the book to prove I could do something like that. It got much more traction than I had planned and, in hindsight, I wish I had paid for editing and formatting as a minimum.

As for the quality of the paperback, that was unfortunately out of my control as I used Amazon's print on demand services. Definitely a painful lesson for me.

In any case, I appreciate this comment and others here. I'm definitely working towards much higher substance with increased polish. :)

Ha!! Great question, so this is our fourth round of message testing. We didn't want to A/B directly on HN cause that feels kinda disingenuous, but we've definitely been crunching conversion rates and such.
