This is one of my favorite libraries from the premise alone. Here is an example of Mario in Half-Life 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld3qhqkegNw

Thank you for pointing that out, I genuinely was scratching my head and questioning if this site was serious.

Out of curiosity, how did you go about doing that? That sounds really nice and I'd be interested to see if it could work with LuLu as well.

As someone who writes academic essays and prose, I can't live without this plugin. I will constantly need to write multiple page paragraphs, and it's incredibility more convient to be able to navigate within a paragraph as if it was multiple lines, as opposed to needing to perform some horizontal motion gymnastics to get the cursor where I need it to be.

Hat's off to everyone who has worked on this plugin!

Does this really deserve to be on the front page of HN?

I hope this is satire.

Gemini 2.5 Pro is still my go to LLM of choice. Haven't used any OpenAI product since it released, and I don't see any reason why I should now.

This seems promising! Great work! Any chance there will be a Ollama Modelfile for the masses?

I honestly had to do a double take when I saw this make the front page. Never thought I'd see Amon Tobin top HN!

I'd recommended using llama.cpp and The Bloke's GGUF version of this model!
