    I had to think about this for a minute because the abstraction levels idea is very appealing, but ultimately I think this comparison is specious and misses the core issue entirely.…

    Sorry, I was mistaken about having used LiteLLM - this is the one I was using: https://github.com/wangxj03/ai-cookbook.git , and you can see the hardcoded shit here: https://github…

    I think that's probably the shim I was referring to - it has hardcoded context length, but it is either implemented incorrectly, Anthropic ignores it, or maybe it's on openwebui to…

    Needs some usability testing - I suspect even five minutes of watching a non-technical user trying to use it would be very illuminating. UI is unintuitive throughout. Consider, one…

    There is very little I find more frustrating than software that could so easily be nice to use but isn't.

    It's back, but the nice thing is it's 10x more complicated now!

    Season 3 is so great it easily eclipses the first two, despite my pretty strong nostalgia-bias. It's like the first two were just a warm-up - and we needed the 25 years just to pre…

    We've had failed projects since long before LLMs. I think there is a tendency for people to gloss over this (3.) regardless, but working with an LLM it tends to become obvious much…

    I love the questioning my sanity before I've completely opened my eyes part. It's like a jump start to my day.

    I appreciate harm reduction but I think any such 'perfect' drug would lead to dehydration / starvation deaths, or at least a lot more people living on the streets.

    The LLMs themselves aren't the fundamental concern; rather, they represent an unprecedented amplification of existing socioeconomic stratification mechanisms. They will likely acce…

    I keep saying this but nobody seems to really get it or care: LLMs are magic. This isn't at all like conventional software where someone plans for every possible path, or even soft…
