Cool! Looks pretty professional.
I explored a similar idea once (also implemented in Python, via decorators) to help speed up some neuroscience research that involved a lot of hyperparameter sweeps. It's named after a Borges story about a man cursed to remember everything: https://github.com/taliesinb/funes https://github.com/taliesinb/funes
Maybe one day we'll have a global version of this, where all non-private computations are cached on a global distributed store somehow via content-based hashing.
- amakelov 2y agoThanks! Indeed, the ultimate (but very ambitious from the point of view of coordination and infrastructure) vision would be to build the "planetary computer" where everyone can contribute and every computation is transparently reproducible. While researching `mandala`, I ran into some ideas along those lines from the folks at Protocol Labs, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBo1lEZ_Iik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBo1lEZ_Iik, though I'm not aware of the current status.
- amakelov 2y agoOh also totally missed the Borges mention the first time - I'm a big fan of his stories!
