My understanding was that Christopher Alexander called the quality without a name "wholeness" later in their life. Does it mean a different thing than the "resonance" in this article?

itertools.count is probably what OP is looking for

This sounds like the concept of ‘normal science’ in paradigm theory.

Bedrock has a batch mode but only for claude 3.5 which is like one year old, which isn't very useful.

I'd rather have teachers assume stupidity than malice when it comes to student utilizing AI to essentially skip their learning.

I can totally believe that they deployed it because internal metrics looked good.

I see a lot of people getting confused, and the contention here is not that ChatGPT helped prepare for martial law in any way, but the fact that someone knew about it happening before it happened. Not really related to ChatGPT IMO.

Very interesting... I see a lot of parallel with my higher-ed startup - regulatory moat, fragmented market almost like consulting, and super long sales cycle...

Maybe I should be more mindful of integration cost than I do know.

Any parellogram would work since given four digit number n1n2n3n4, it is divisible by 11 iff n1+n3=n2+n4, and each ni is linear combination of the coords of keypads xi, yi, and thus (n1+n3)/2 = (n2+n4)/2

I tried to read many papers of Stafford Beer and cybernetics to parse some insights on complex systems to use in modern days but failed.

Project Cybersyn was just a dashboard (which was revolutionary back then of course).

Viable System Model was just another systems engineering diagram, which only has meaning to those who are deep into that field.

At least I got 'The purpose of a system is what it does' stuck in my head.

I also had to do this in my previous work and I took the phonetic embeddings of reference and transcribed text and ran a dynamic time warping with them.

Looks like the article is saying goal of 4 out of 6 is better than just setting 1 goal because missing 1 out of 1 really demotivates you.
