Idk about swapping assets but zsnes used to have a range of video filters that could improve the experience on a modern screen quite a bit.

Edit: For SNES, not NES, my bad.

Just for the author: On any of my iOS 26 browsers (orion, brave, safari), a page reload occurs when the model download completes, which resets the state, so I never get to interact with the model.

Oh God, that reminds me of the mission to recover the awesome midi tracks on one of the Gold Games I compilation CDs that I loved as a kid.

The CD had the game MiG29 Fulcrum on it, but also others, and I never triggered the music in-game (it was stored as audio tracks on the game disk).

So I guess my best bet is finding someone with an original working cd or disk images online (anyone? :) )

EDIT: For anyone with the same disposition, look for "goldgames" on archive.org. And thanks to OP for the impulse to look.

I don't think it's necessarily a bug per se, but a central tradeoff in system prompt length between well-documenting the environment (harness specifics, exposed tools, tool use instructions etc) to the llm, vs the initial prompt stage ("prefill") growing so large that it results in an unpleasant lag to first response, and reduced available context, which is most noticeable with open models on resource-constrained consumer hardware.

You can use llm to optimize some of this, I condensed the tool descriptions of some larger LM Studio plugins to shrink prefill by almost 10k tokens. But there's a soft limit to this, if you don't want to under-document available tools and let the model guess (/behave unsafely).

One optimization around this is called "smart tool selection", which only sends tool descriptions when the model indicates need for a certain tool (suite), not all of them upfront.

I have ocd so I concur with only #2 for equilibrium.

Do you think they're unreliable based on the position in the conversation or other factors?

Supposedly there was a time when drinking beer was often safer than drinking water from available sources, including for children. I guess there are levels

You could reverse the last sentence to "freed disk space reduces the need to clean the hd". And I don't even mean physical limitation as much as the compulsion to manually clean ballooning cache dirs once in a while.

Maybe this is a useful way to address maladaptive llm use for some, but it seems to focus the discussion on either-or (using llms) as opposed to how (to use them).

For things you want to learn: Are you asking to have something solved, or are you asking for information so you can solve it?

There may be detrimental learning effects even with asking llms for information, but I think there's a fundamental difference in addressing it as an intern/slave vs teacher/tutor.

Thanks for sharing.

Clouds of intracellular water more efficiently retained in muscle due to creatine supplementation[?]. Hydration is controlled for in some studies but not all.

I keep having had the best time with Andrej Karpathy's Youtube intros into LLM math. But I haven't compared scope or quality to this submission
