Breathtaking! First, your (Lina's) intro is perfect in honestly and briefly explaining your work in progress. Second, the example I tried had a perfect interpretation of the text meaning/sentiment and translated that to vocal and

I think you have to distinguish dependent variables from independent. If all variables are independent, then the number of test cases is the max of the number of (relevant) values for each variable (i.e., you can combine cases). When a vari

Let's just be careful: whether it's Steve Jobs or Paul Graham or Socrates, philosophy devolves to sophistry when the metric is whether you can convince people. The metric has to be whether you're right, in this case for the

For many practical applications, slow learners do just as well as fast ones, once they’re up to speed. Math teaching is mostly playing hide-the-ball, which teachers justify by saying people learn more deeply when they figure it out for the

Is the datalog engine exposed? Is there any way to cache parsed queries? Other datalog engines support recursive queries, which makes my life so much easier. Can I do that now with this? Or is it on the roadmap? I have fairly large and

Setting aside efficiency or accuracy, caching enhances the value of prompt engineering and thus increases the effective value of AI services (how the value is monetized or split is TBD). Comments suggest that caching the state of the networ

It's good to try to boil Aristotle down to some topological order, because it is latent there. But to get the order right, this presentation needs some background in the Greek terms Aristotle is using. E.g., focus on the first few lin
