Just used it for French right now. The Design is excellent! but the LLM task orientedness needs some work. The tutor needs to follow the curriculum well. This has the same issue that I have in my day job i.e. keeping the LLM on topic. Its not strict. i.e. after asking it to make sure to remind me to reply in french it very easily forgets to do so. Its not following a structured approach or even in casual conversation isn't correcting my mistakes unless I ask.

The tricky question is what env state do you compare in order to decide if its a cache hit or miss? just screen status, screen status + all open apps, that + all running processes etc. you know what i mean. I think its a solvable problem and very interesting one too. One now needs to think about what would a human consider while using a muscle memory and that varies based on the action i.e. "rm -rf ." requires knowing what directory i am in vs "click close + don't save" requires knowing I don't want the recent change.

Why not just open source Claude Code? people have tried to reverse eng the minified version https://gist.githubusercontent.com/1rgs/e4e13ac9aba301bcec28...

I don't understand what you mean by 'non-locality of convolutions'. Isn't convolution inherently a local operation? This probably being one of the main reasons that CNNs are biased towards texture [0] and not shapes?

This is really cool. I'm working in systems research, but I'm fascinated by mathematical research in CS. Did you continue with similar work after your PhD, If I may ask?
