Is there a way for me to actually pay you some quantity of money in exchange for anything shipped to my doorstep? Because I will absolutely pay you some nontrivial quantity of money.

$19.95 + shipping and handling is a bargain. Charge more!

(The programming world has been waiting a long time for a Billy Mays of devs. You're a natural.)

I like this project and will play with it, many thanks.

The video was fun, catchy and engaging. You explanation was clear and concise.

The music was fine at the start but as it continued all the way through it made it hard for me to concentrate and I found it easier to mute and use subtitles.

I have a guy on Fiverr that does my editing, and we have an agreement: He makes my garbage raw videos look pretty awesome in short order, and I don't nag him about details or ask for revisions.

What's that tablet looking device your using in the video and why is it not the lisperati? :) Also, are you done with Common Lisp and more into Clojure now?

Lisperati is still happening

Definitely all in on clojure now (well, I also like zig)

Are those t-shirts from last month gone for good? I didn't hear about it at the time and I would have snapped one up in a second.

Sorry it's too late :(

Since I wanted them printed using real screen printing, we only had one shot to put in an order that was big enough.

But tell you what, give me a contact email and I'll send you a spare that I have (if "large" works)

I appreciate that, but a large probably wouldn't fit me. I'll just have to keep an eye out for your subsequent projects so I don't miss out on more cool stuff.

How much can I pay you to port this to PHP, JS, or just pseudocode so that I can use it or convert it to a language I know?

Sorry, I'm not motivated much by money these days... if you can get 1000 people to sign a petition I'd happily port it though, since I'd know it would be useful to more people :)

I love your Land of Lisp song :-)

thanks!

Does it work for discrete values, or only continuous ones?

Only continuous ones. You would have to reformulate it as a continuous problem, such as using separate GoodGuesser examples for each discrete category, with human labels that are 1 or 0 for a category, then have GoodGuesser guess the a likelihood between 0 and 1 for each category.
