Why “Hamming”? As in Richard Hamming, ex-Bell Labs, “You and Your Research”?

Yup, we named it after Richard Hamming. His essay 'you and your research' was deeply influential during my undergrad; I re-read it every quarter.

Our current product draws inspiration from Hamming distance because we're comparing the `distance` between current LLM output vs. desired LLM output.
