Hey everyone, I’m planning to run multiple agents in Hermes and use them through Discord. I’m confused about which approach is better: Separate Discord bot for each Hermes agent, one Discord bot = one agent One Discord bot for all Hermes agents, use a single Discord bot and have Hermes handle the different agents What are you guys using, and which approach…

Statistical Inference for Probability Barycenters and Kolmogorov Moments

Editor's read

A research paper. In human terms: A probability coordinate chart is a continuous strictly increasing bijection that transports observations to the open unit interval, where averaging is always well defined.

Why you might care

Evals are how we avoid vibes-only agent work. Useful if it suggests tests we can adapt for Hermes/OAC reliability.

Source excerpt

A probability coordinate chart is a continuous strictly increasing bijection that transports observations to the open unit interval, where averaging is always well defined. For barycentric inference, the first coordinate moment is returned through the inverse chart. Higher initial coordinate moments similarly generate initial Kolmogorov moments by pullback, while centred coordinate moments remain on the probability…
