I usually instruct the LLMs to assume to Vulcan / Spock personality. Now that computers can more or less pass for a human, I realize I don't want them to sound human.

This is nfortunately limited to 2-dimensional state/measurements. In this case the covariance matrix is only 3 numbers, so the required linear algebra can be easily be done in a loop. The generic Kalman handles arbitrary dimensions, bu
