I'm hoping they release an 8B v2 based on the Qwen 3.8 series in the near future - that would give us a really powerful model that could be run directly on users phones.
Mind sharing that block? Is it just: "Persona: You are HK-47"?

> (While it's not made totally clear, I assume they're mostly finding stuff building stations, not tunnels. The tunnels are ~20m below ground, but the stations have to go all the way to the surface.)

This is exactly right. Rome's subway is famously dug very deep (30-80 meters) so the tunnels run under the ruins, but each station requires an excavation down to tunnel depth.

Jeff has moved on, though.

Z-prototype is a small iOS and Web development shop in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services. Just some of the work we've done this last month includes a group photo-sharing application, an app that integrates with various APIs for making donations to charities, and a web application for certification accreditation for a niche industry. We specialize in white-label work for other agencies, but we also accept direct clients who are looking for wholesale app development rates for larger projects.

Email me at [email protected] and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others we don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because we want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time spent coding.

I'm an iOS/PHP developer in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services and their backends. This last month I built one that does GPU-enabled image processing, and Android app that plugged into Facebook, and a web app for storing, accessing and summarizing financial documents for a Midwest VC firm.
