Why “Hamming”? As in Richard Hamming, ex-Bell Labs,
“You and Your Research”?
- sumanyusharma 2y agoYup, we named it after Richard Hamming. His essay 'you and your research' was deeply influential during my undergrad; I re-read it every quarter. Our current product draws inspiration from Hamming distance because we're comparing the `distance` between current LLM output vs. desired LLM output.
