That's kind of wild. Our first PC was a an IBM PS/2 486SX 33Mhz, 4MB RAM, that was purchased in 1993.

They overclocked well though, I think you could run the 300Mhz chips at >400Mhz.

I also believe you could get motherboards that supported 2 Celeron chips. I have no idea how effective/useful it was, but it was certainly a cheap/interesting way to get multiple CPU's.


Any more info on this?

> Co-trained with the harness. Muse Code was in the training loop from day one, so tool calls succeed and plans execute cleanly. Crucially, we trained across multiple harnesses, so while the model is at its best in Muse Code, it still generalizes to other coding agents you already use.


thank you

Very keen to try this after using Claude Code over the last few months. Should I just point Claude Code to Muse Spark endpoint (because I'm familiar with Code)? What do people think of Muse Code or other coding agent harnesses?

Just try opencode, it comes with 1.3 contributor free.

Well thats very interesting. Thank you. Will be interesting to see how hard/easy it is to translate my Claude skills, loop design, etc to the new harness.

This kind of raises another question to me regarding the coding benchmarks, how much of it is model versus harness?


Coming from Claude Code, I initially went with opencode but switched to pi.dev after a while and I think I like it more. It's lighter weight. It's worth trying both.

Hopefully, 'validated' AI code

What do you think you're doing when you accept an edit, press thumbs up, or don't ask for modifications after an edit.

Thats not exactly 'validated'. Feels very noisy, it is not a good bar for either - does this code do what the user actually asked - is this code actually 'good'

There would be so many examples of coding projects that these models began or attempted to work in, that were abandoned because the models were floundering.

I would imagine the labs have some decent ways to produce novel requirements and then actually validate they are met, without the noisiness of implicit human feedback.

That said, the more I think about it, you are right, there's probably also very good ways to extract signal for all these sessions.


This is exactly what RLVR is, and the reason that models have improved so much at verifiable domains like coding and math while not so much on unverifiable ones like writing and UI design.

I played this as a young teen in 1998 and it's still the most powerful gaming experience and memories I have.

I believe a lot of NIC's could autodetect and adapt to the cable? I'm pretty sure I had 2 computers connected to each other using a regular network cable.

Yeah it died out because the hardware advanced and could just switch automatically.

With 1gig Ethernet it became a requirement, the definite end of existence for crossover cables.


Not just a requirement, 1gig ethernet transmit and receive at all of those 4 pairs simultaneously to get the throughput

iPods were a very popular Apple product once upon a time...


Question: For things like this to be truly worthwhile, do you have to ensure the training, post-training of LLM's is filled with brilliant memelang code? The models are probably already good at 'thinking' in SQL at the moment, but if they aren't trained on memelang, surely they will have to use more effort to translate in context to produce equivalent quality queries?

Wouldn't surprise me if in the next few generations we start seeing more LLM generated languages that LLM's prefer to use for expressability, conciseness, etc.


I think for a realistic comparison we would need to see LLMs benchmarked with and without a "use Memelang for queries" prompt (and a short file somewhere explaining the syntax). I think it's unlikely that the token-efficiency of Memelang would provide much benefit for current LLMs; my intuition is that much more tokens would be spent on reasoning and mistakes in Memelang than are saved from just using SQL (SQL queries aren't usually that long anyway??).

In the few public reasoning traces from recent OpenAI models, we see a lot of "grug speak" as it is token-efficient, and they presumably trained the models for token efficiency in reasoning. It is indeed not too much of a leap to see future token-efficient programming languages.


One question I have about stuff like this: How does it affect the models intelligence or thinking ability. If this modifies the output or chain of thought in any way, it may impact what the model is capable of right? Especially if it's not trained to use this kind of language during training.


It definitely seems like this should be a post processing layer instead of an instruction.
