Zhuangzi was fishing in the Pu River when the King of Chu sent two high officials to him. They said, “The king wishes to entrust you with the affairs of his realm.”
Zhuangzi kept hold of his fishing rod and did not turn around. He said, “I have heard that in Chu there is a sacred turtle that has been dead for three thousand years. The king keeps it wrapped in cloth, enclosed in a box, and stored in the ancestral temple.
“Now, would this turtle rather have died and left its bones behind to be honored, or would it rather be alive, dragging its tail through the mud?”
The two officials replied, “It would rather be alive, dragging its tail through the mud.”
Zhuangzi said, “Then go away. I too will drag my tail through the mud.”
Though not ancient taoist, Finland has a strong shame culture so we also have lots of popular lyrics that seem to align with the theme. Another cultural pointer is Hal Sirowitz' Mother said.
* Sadetanssi: Kuvasi kaltainen *
you said, little boy
the wheel of the world is best
pedalled so softly no one even notices
and beware the day you look behind
when speed no longer notices
the pedal pressed to the floor
you said, that boy
don’t let him loose
he doesn’t instantly know which way he should be going
if somewhere comes the sound
of good behaviour breaking
if somewhere they are having fun without your permission
you wear your shame with pride
when you look me in the face
I am made in your image
you’d rather be ordinary
than stunted in your growth
well-behaved rather than torn inside
when you open the cupboard in the morning
the skeletons are laughing
you don’t know a single one
but still they laugh at you
when at night you look into the mirror
and see my face
I smile at you softly
and turn my back
I’ve made every mistake
you only dream of making
I am made in your image
the thing is about some of these things, like sub-agents, is that any implementation of sub-agents is going to be extremely opinionated, so it would never make sense to be in pi out of the box.
Currently, because of the subsidies from the frontier models, demand is mostly for higher intelligence.
If subsidies do end, demand for price efficiency per unit of intelligence will go way up.And because there's many players in the market, this demand should be met by at least some of them.
I have been experimenting with dissassembly and rewrite of 90s dos games in Rust.
It's not something I have experience in so I rely heavily on the models setting the direction and automating the work.
It's something where the level of intelligence has a huge impact. I still haven't succeeded, it's mostly an experiment for me to test the edges of model capabilities and see how they tackle such a hard problem.
You have to reach set hard principles for disassembly. I've been experimenting with this for about 6 months now, starting with 4.6 in February where it would do a hacky half ass buggy job of an NES game.
I got a shitty PSX recompiler together in March. Been refining it since. This week along I stood up 5 different psx games and added widescreen to 4 of them and added an in memory injection English translation to another to avoid having to fight the assembly.
I've been in heavy build mode for a while so my docs are a bit dated. But the repo is here: https://github.com/mstan/psxrecomp/ and at the bottom of it a Discord community I started for like minded individuals. Happy to chat there in the interim to get things rolling.
