Same, and I thought it's a clever play on words on the classic "Attention is all you need" - https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 - which led us to what we have now

That's impressive! Seems like we're back to ELIZA again, only with a more versatile dataset format and better NLP/search

Nice! A while ago I was doing something similar - https://habit.zserge.com/ - turns our printed habit trackers serve way better as motivators or reminders than phone apps.

I'm building my own - https://git.zserge.com/fierj - and for a few weeks it's hosting itself. Still working on patches workflow and CI, but it's quite usable already. I try to make it "minimally federated" - only threads (issues/discussions etc) are federated via ActivityPub, for PR there is old-school patches workflow, for CI just chroot and a shell script. A lightweight personal git forge in ~4KLOC. Can't say everyone should use it and can't recomment it, but building a personal forge is very realistic. Or you can run cgit as a frontend to your git remote on a server.

I suppose one of a few examples when a picture is totally not worth a thousand words, if a picture is made by me

I guess I miscommunicated it. I meant I'd call everything a tensor but for some smaller dimensions we have specific names. Of course, 1D can still be a tensor and so is 6D or nD.

I wish we used something else but Python as the default ML language, so that some advanced type system would work for us to ensure tensor shapes and compatibility.

Not in a general mathematical sense, of course. Rather carthesian tensors. Seems like for most libraries it's `numpy.ndarray`: https://docs.tinygrad.org/tensor/ or https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/main/tensors.html

Was doing a similar thing for plain HTML zines: https://github.com/zserge/zine - write each page as html, render as page previews in browser and as a folded zine when printed

Reminds me of a good old arduino shell, Bitlash - https://github.com/billroy/bitlash/wiki/commands

A slightly larger implementation at the end of the post does that to some extent - https://github.com/zserge/kalk (CSV import export, Excel-like "locking" of rows/columns like $A$1). If there's a need for such a project - I'm happy to add ODF or XLSX, more compatibility with Excel formulas etc. I'm not sure about Vi keybindings, I personally find spreadsheets easier to use in a non-modal manner.

It's a common CPU vs RAM decision to make. Dependency graph consumes memory, while recalculating everything for a number of iterations could happen on stack one formula at a time in a loop. On 6502 it mattered. On modern CPUs, even with RAM crisis I'm sure for 99.9% of spreadsheets any options is good enough. Say, you have 10K rows and 100 columns - it's 1M calculations to make.

A little computer vision library for embedded systems, by magnitudes smaller than OpenCV, but still practical enough to do feature tracking or cascade detections. Works well on ESP32 and cheap ARMs with low-resolution grayscale cameras.
