Comment on: DeepSeek v4.1 Flash

HanClinto

No. It's not limited to 3rd-party guardrails. Given how restrictive the native public-facing OpenAI guardrails are, this feature wouldn't be worth very much if it just slacked back off to the level of "regular" filter paranoia offered by the native models, would it? This is…

Comment on: DeepSeek v4.1 Flash

Yes, this is well-documented and publicly advertised. In Azure Foundry, the feature to modify (or completely remove) safety guardrails and content filtering is called "Limited Access" [0], and one must submit a form to request permission to use this feature. This is one of the…

Comment on: The entire city of San Francisco as a video game

HanClinto

Very impressed with the Watch Dogs series of games for this purpose. We recently used Watch Dogs Legion to prep for a trip to London to get more familiar with the city. Set the game on peaceful mode and just walked around and did virtual sight-seeing instead of playing missions.…

Maybe "Claude" is the new "Xerox", but for coding agents instead of copiers?

Comment on: Spaghettifying DRAM

Likewise -- also had zero issues going over this with Sol. Seemed to give solid advice for how to test it -- use an expendable bare-metal AMD family 16h test system w/ usual standard checks that apply. Run first and do not use casually. Start with the read-only and , then .…

Comment on: Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones

HanClinto

This brings up an interesting topic of atypical compounds that can visibly affect skin coloring -- whether temporary or more long-lived (such as elevated methemoglobin levels in the Blue Fugates of Kentucky). It's fascinating to learn that melanin and haemoglobin are the two…

Comment on: Mistral's Robostral Navigate: a state of the art robotics navigation model

HanClinto

Well once I've got an outdoor-capable robot that can drive around the acreage and generally find its way around, the first step would just be inventorying the property and doing things like surveys of plant or animal species (birdsong recognition, etc). But for interaction with…

In case anyone else is interested in following along with what I've discovered so far, I went on the Mistral Discord and asked their Miscord bot. Here is what it answered me: Hey there, fellow robot enthusiast! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ:・゚ So, you’re itching to get your hands on Robostral…

What is the realistic path to getting to play with this? I would love to hook this up to OpenClaw for hobbyist exploration. My dream has been to embody OpenClaw into a farm robot (been looking at adapting one of those RC lawnmowers that is tracked and built for mowing steep…

This is pretty hilarious. :D Feels like a combination of Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator. Vibe-coded? It's pretty impressive.

Some of the coding-specific fine-tunes were really impressive boosts. Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct is also available [0] -- if it's not too much to ask, I'd be curious how more general models stack up in your benchmark? [0] - https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct

Comment on: I built a Git-tracked book production pipeline

HanClinto

Setting up good book publishing pipelines with version control + CI/CD might sounds simple, but I don't think it's trivial. One of the best examples of this that I've ever seen is The Sourdough Framework [0] -- really impressed with the way that versioning and publishing is…

Comment on: Show HN: A (de)compiler and parser/engine for custom Magic: The Gathering cards

HanClinto

This is very cool! If you're looking for a good test suite, I wonder if you might be able to adapt any of the tests available in XMage? They have a pretty extensive test suite (such as for copy effects [0]) and if you point your agent at their code, I wonder how many could be…

Oh cool! I've been doing similar experiments lately (using ViT's) to do card recognition, and so far it's been working really well for me. If you want to compare notes, I've open-sourced my code / weights [0] and written some blogs about how mine works [1]. I'd love to see if we…

Thank you! If you want to test out my tool, here's a link to the web version that is built for scanning in lists of cards: https://hanclinto.github.io/CollectorVision/ It's still super rough (doesn't support foil-toggling yet, still some issues with double-sided cards, crashing…
