Thought of leaving when I was given my first challenge and thought, “what if these words actually don’t have much in common, what if the neurons all just encode completely arbitrary categories due to being such a low strength model.” Eventually I decided “No, I know what this is. This is A Thing. (words that suggest the approach towards some sort of interpersonal resolution).” Maybe that happens to everyone. I dunno.
It’s kind of infuriating that you ask us to do a question, then don’t accept the answer until we log in, then just waste our answer by sending us to another question after we’ve logged in. I guess you plan to solve the last part, in which case it’s fine, but wow, like, you’re going to smack every single one of your testers in the face with this?
My experience with the second question is that sending in a response does not work, I get an alert about a json parse error. Firefox.
hey mako—sorry about the issues. i’m looking into it right now. will update asap
edit: looks like the EC2 instance hard crashed. i can’t even restart it from AWS console. i am starting up a new instance with more RAM.
edit2: confirmed via syslog (after taking a long time to restart the old server) it was OOM. new machine has 8x more ram. added monitoring and will investigate potential memory leaks tomorrow

Tell me when that’s fixed, I guess.

Should be working now.
Also, thank you for the feedback re- janky tutorial/signin. I will fix that. It is truly a terrible way to have a first experience with a product.
EDIT: the tutorial → sign in friction has been updated.
