marvin VS jdupes

Hey HN! We just released Marvin 2.0.

Marvin is an AI toolkit for developers who want to use LLMs with traditional software. We still see significant challenges integrating LLMs because of how difficult it is to get them to reliably accept and return structured data. Marvin consists of independent, functional tools that address this problem in a variety of ways.

Marvin has always been focused on using LLMs to work with native Python datatypes and Pydantic models. In 2.0 we've expanded this significantly with dedicated APIs for the most common use cases we've seen over the last year: classification, entity extraction, transforming data to types, and generating synthetic data. Marvin 2.0 is also fully multi-modal and supports images as inputs for classification, extraction, and transformation tasks (as well as simple image and speech generation). We've also introduces a Pythonic interface to OpenAI's assistants API, which now powers all of Marvin's interactive components.

We've tried to make an LLM framework that "sparks joy" and captures that same feeling you had the first time you saw an LLM in action. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Seems a lot like https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin?

The prompting you do seems an awfully like:

Marvin: a batteries-included library for building AI-powered software. Marvin's job is to integrate AI directly into your codebase by making it look and feel like any other function (https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin)

Sure! I was inspired by this Python library: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin

I see Langchain has support for Azure chat models, and Marvin is built on Langchain so it may not be so difficult! Tracking issue here: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/issues/189

We have a related issue open (https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/issues/64) but haven't designed anything yet.

I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.

Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.

I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.

jdupes is a fork of the old standby fdupes, but it has a Win32 release as well as supporting POSIX.

jdupes is a tuned fork of the well-known fdupes, and has Win32 releases.
