-# A terminal calculator for distributions, for Fermi estimation
+# A DSL for Fermi estimation
 
-This project is a minimalist, calculator-style DSL for fermi estimation. It can multiply, divide, add and subtract scalars, lognormals and beta distributions, and supports variables.
+This project is a minimalist, calculator-style DSL for fermi estimation. It can multiply, divide, add and subtract scalars, lognormals and beta distributions, and supports variables and mixtures.

-## Motivation
-
-Sometimes, [Squiggle](https://github.com/quantified-uncertainty/squiggle), [simple squiggle](https://git.nunosempere.com/quantified.uncertainty/simple-squiggle) or [squiggle.c](https://git.nunosempere.com/personal/squiggle.c) are still too complicated and un-unix-like. In particular, their startup cost is not instant. 
-
-## Build instructions 
-
-Install the [go toolchain](https://go.dev/dl/), then:
-
-
-```
-git clone https://git.nunosempere.com/NunoSempere/fermi
-cd fermi
-make build
-./fermi
-# sudo make install

In general, as a terminal guy, I've found that having zero startup cost makes creating small fermi models much cheaper, and thus happen more often.

+## Tips & tricks
+
+- It's conceptually clearer to have all the multiplications first and then all the divisions
+- For distributions between 0 and 1, consider using a beta distribution
+- The default operation is multiplication
+
 If you type "help" (or run fermi -h), you can see a small grammar and some optional command flags:

-### Command line options
-
-You can specify the number of samples to draw when algebraic manipulations are not sufficient: 
-
-```
-$ fermi -n 1000000
-$ fermi -n 1_000_000

-You also run a file with the -f option

-$ fermi -f more/piano-tuners.fermi
