• If you only need classification… ask Codex/Claude to build an embeddings + logistic classifier model for you

  • For emails, I get 95% accuracy with this method, with only 50-100 examples for training

  • sounds like fun :)

The Future of Deployment Units

I believe that software will become more malleable. Imagine a feedback input in your program that directly feeds an agent that in turn changes your program. We might even see branching (divergence) and merging (convergence) for individual users. Individuals might implement a function and other people can get it - like an app store, but on feature granularity.

Logit

Jev in 25 lines of Python - NobodyWho says:

Massage the logits into probabilities.

But what is a logit? Basically: “even” at 0 and probability between -∞ and ∞.

• inverse operation: Sigmoid (from [-∞..∞] to [0..1])

• odds = log(p/(1-p))

• ranges

  • p: [0..1]

  • odds: [0..∞]

  • logit: [-∞..∞]

• even (50/50)

  • p: 0.5

  • odds: 1/1 = 1

  • logit: 0

• note: Softmax is Sigmoid for many: take list of logits and ensure they all turn into probabilities that sum up to 100%
