I did not look at the source code yet, but is this some sorta physics modeling problem? Treat the strings as a a bunch of interconnected balls, then apply the force at point, compute other forces, interpolate a curve through the new state, then compute frequencies based on where the string was plucked? this is pretty cool

> To me, LLM query management and retrieval is much more valuable than response generation

Sure, for certain tasks. For other tasks retrieval is less useful.

I think a superset of bash with strong types makes more sense than a brand new language that compiles to it. This is what makes typescript so successful (aside from other things) is that you can just drop it into your project and incrementally adopt it.

A bit of a clickbaity title, but I'll bite

I think "cleverness" is a function of your (and your team's) experience in a particular language / domain space

I worked with teams where verbose Java is considered "simple, straightforward, and easy to understand"

I also worked with teams where terse Haskell is considered "simple, straightforward, and easy to understand"

and of course these codebases look nothing alike

agreed, I find it pretty useful to check if I remember where LSTM stuff connects

I remember reading the original paper a while ago but always forget (pun intended) where to connect stuff

then I realized that memorizing it visually is not the best approach, it's better to think about it in this sorta loose fashion -- I remember there is forget gate, well it forgets previous stuff so there is probably some hadamard product somewhere, it probably needs some inputs and previous hidden states...there was some -1,1 forcing in candidate memory so probably needs tanh instead of sigmoid...and then piece by piece i can reconstruct it pretty closely

I didn't encounter the issue you described with adding an already existing edge though -- the counter stays the same

the answer to RNN is non-trivial, but perhaps Recurrent in RNN might be of some use

Amazing

Now if only the education system improved as well and stopped feeding the kids useless information.

I prefer the term "making shit work"

that's an interesting hypothesis, I suppose one can make N calls to the API and look if the distribution of wrong answers is skewed towards the later portion of the API calls
