SoulverCore VS human_calc

I did similar experiments with GPT4 and Soulver[1], though I "tuned" it by teaching it Soulver interactively before continuing to prompt. It can then be used in the same way. My primary goal was to add basic calculation capabilities to GPT, that are: a) guaranteed to halt (all Soulver sheets are functions) and b) readable by both GPT and the user (a Python program may be too dev-oriented for normal people).

It worked quite well. To well almost: I started a meta-conversation where I asked another GPT4 instance to come up with conversations SoulverGPT could have with a user where the addition of solving is beneficial. This worked, and eventually even found a bug in Soulver - essentially fuzzing the language.

Along the same lines, I made a command line calculator that does basic unit conversions, and has a few other tricks up it's sleeve

I find it surprisingly useful. It's probably one of those things that has an audience of one, but I find it useful.

If you ever want to see what happens when you take your own little personal calculator project too far, here's my calculator.

I'll be working on my Human Calc project this week. Lots of tools like this, but the idea is to provide a quick command-line calculator that solves basic math expressions:
