This was confusing me, thanks.

Kinda disappointed, doesn't seem all that advanced to me.

I did that a year ago, I imagine it would work better today.

Same with mine that has been around for over 2 years now: https://github.com/gptme/gptme

In the case of BBs they need to withstand a fair bit of force, so I don't think it's about money. The biodegradable ones (PLA) on the market I've tried perform less well than their non-biodegradable alternatives and can shatter on impact, cause jams, etc.

I doubt you could make a hard enough cellulose pellet, maybe it's possible but costly, idk.

AFAIK (not much) it definitely helps to train on longer sequences even with rope/yarn and is needed if you care about long context performance (and not just the long context capability).

Apparently Persona was even based on some prior work called "VerifiedEmailProtocol", eerily similar to the OP

The Verified Email Protocol got renamed to BrowserID, and Persona was its reference implementation.

This looks broadly similar to that, but with some newer primitives (SD-JWT) and a focus on autocomplete as an entrypoint to the flow. If I recall correctly, the entire JOSE suite (JWT, JWK, JWE, etc.) was still under active iteration while we were building Persona.

And hey, I applaud the effort. Persona got a lot of things right, and I still think we as an industry can do better than Passkeys.

For historic interest, the Persona After Action Report has a few key insights from when we spun down the project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_AAR

This summarizes it well. I wish Codex could learn to tooluse as well as Sonnet, would really unleash the deep thinking it's so good at.

Honestly I think poetry was a bigger development than uv. I used pipenv before it, and requirements before that, and I can't imagine going back. I've yet to fully embrace uv and migrate away from poetry for that reason (even thought it seems inevitable at this point, there's just no need)

> I am as much in the dark as anyone on if you can get LLMs to reliably do useful work.

I can't understand how people still say this with a straight face.
