12:25:44ParaYou should be at a point where you could use an agent to do factoid population, including tags etc.
12:25:56ParaAlthough a pre-stage phase would probably be useful for that then, for review.
14:56:40dreamrealI do. :D

16:03:57Paracan you compose the markov chains?
16:04:15ParaYou know, to create a sort of "be top10 of #java" amalgamation
16:18:33dreamrealI mean, they're composable, sure
16:18:37dreamrealit's just a series of calls
16:19:05dreamrealthe markov chain system took about an hour to build, because I had to build the clojure shim and then test the tokenization granularity
