with llms, at some point it probably becomes easier to use your paid api connection to manage your own cached version yourself?

Sadly this sort of thing is probably not really possible anymore, but I can't really blame anyone for making this sort of decision. I can't imagine how much more traffic they get now vs 2021 when we were doing this.

I know this is probably a pretty small edge case, but it is a bit frustrating. Any other provider lets you sign up with an email and give them a payment processor/card, but because google wants me to only use their unified workspace for signing up, I'm completely locked out now.

```python names = sorted({name.lower() for name in users if name}) ```

vs.

```gossamer let names = users |> iter::filter(|n: String| n.len() > 0) |> iter::map(|n: String| n.to_lower()) |> iter::sort_by_key(|n: String| n.len()) ```

Python is sorting a set (unique values only), but I'm not seeing a unique or set approach for gossamer.

It did not feel organic at all. It's to the point now where that initial seeding of ideas has gained legitimate traction, but the initial burst of anti-datacenter content was wild to see in real time.

Shockingly, Claude was able to find the exact random generators that the js library uses, list out all of the differences between the languages that might impact the replays (like rounding being treated differently), and include those differences in the simulation. Claud then back-tested on a huge number of games using the original implementation as a golden set generator.

After that, I tested a few solvers. Single Player Monte Carlo Tree Search seemed promising, but didn't do as well as I expected. A simple beam search does appear to go infinitely pretty easily.
