I don't know how to help, but I do want updates.

Is it still capable of writing an essay about AI writing tics or has the very means of producing said tics, even when the model is asked to do so to demonstrate, now abitterated?

There's an argument to be made that the chain of thought integration is already an example of a process that mimics System 1/2 integration.

Cool project, comes with a little too much guidance in the harness though IMO (pathfinding, textual milestones etc). (The author is very upfront about this in their README though)

I think if it was combined with a regular vLLM it could be really interesting, especially watching the reasoning logs.

Bonus points if it was one of the latest open models that somehow had all prior training knowledge of Pokemon abliterated so it was reasoning as an intelligent persona that had no knowledge of even the concept of Pokemon.

That Shenmue MMO is a phenomenal effort. Who would have thought a hobbyist would launch Shenmue Online before Yu Suzuki :D

>and I hope Sega doesn't care too much either for a 27 year old video game.

Amen. If they cared they wouldn't have kept us waiting 20 years for Shenmue 3.

I guess the difference is the folks on the 100 year ship won’t get any feedback that the tech leapfrogs have happened, whereas at least some of the software players have a chance to use their market knowledge to at least adapt.

The marketing outreach in general for too many companies still leans heavily on “we use AI”, whereas most customers just want results and whether you use AI to either provide those results (or to make it cheaper or faster) isn’t a primary concern of the customer.

Some countries have more complexity to registering a new company than others, and perhaps it’s the establishment of a new legal entity that is an unlocker to the free credits.

I don’t know if that’s true of India or not, but I like to give comment authors the benefit of the doubt that being specific about the geography was helpful context here

Quick question, did you use an LLM to help with this? (Not judging one way or another).

The only reason I ask is that for the past couple of weeks I’ve been making a similar utility to test out the Sol model and it’s hilarious how similar the architecture and even the CLI switches are to what Codex came up with.

It didn’t come off as dismissive to me. I was curious as well as to where such optimizing helps and knew that the answers to your question would help me discover use cases I didn’t think of

A CLI/Terminal file deduper.

Moving a lot of files from old laptop to new, lots of duplicate videos in scattered directories with different file names.

Point the CLI tool at a directory and up pops a ncurses application that scans from the directory you specify (recursively), hashes all the files to get groups of dupes, and then ranks the dupes into a table (that looks like top) so you can work your way through the dupes and decide which to keep without your hands leaving the keyboard.

It automatically ignores typical developer directories like node_modules so you're not tortured with noise in the result set.

Hit 'p' and a preview pops up so you can double check they are indeed dupes, if it's a media file the preview window autoplays the dupe videos in tiles with zero volume.

Supports a dry run mode, and switches to cover behaviour like sending dupes to trash rather than hard deletion.

That they’re consciously aware of

I wonder if the segmentation would work with a video of a ventriloquist and a dummy?

Feel like I have to defend windows phone here, I liked it! Although I swore off the platform after the hardware I bought wasn’t eligible for the windows phone 8 upgrade even though the hardware was less than two years old. They punished early adopters
