You have all the permissions! I’d be delighted if it turns out my couple weeks of coding back then had more than exploratory value. :-D
Generally my hope is that Squiggle will allow us to combine the big-picture long-term thinking of current EA with the focus on quantification and interval-scale-based prioritization of < 2015 EA.
That it will be used by anyone who has to model something. That they’ll contribute their models back to some central repository. That we’ll get to recombine all these models and build exponentially more powerful ones from them with constant development time. That eventually our models will become powerful enough to capture the real world in all its relevant complexity.
I still find this vision inspiring. I just feel a lot of urgency about AGI for now, and impact markets seem more directly relevant to that.
I used your tech to launch a new version of Squigglepy that lets you use ~ and @ as shorthand to sample and lets you add, subtract, etc. distributions directly without having to sample inbetween!

Yeah, a “SquiggleHub” would be nice.
Yes! The Python implementation can just use PyPI, but I imagine something custom is needed to support Squiggle models based on other interpreters.
