"Want me to start addressing these systematically, or do you want to stop here for today?"

Latest @claudeai quirk: I've been asked about 12 times today if I want to stop here for the day. Like LOL Claude, you got something better to do that I am keeping you from?

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

@AmericanGwyn Exposing #8 feels like a spoiler to me.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@AmericanGwyn I slipped into a steadying loneliness watching this one. One of the best things Netflix has done. The ending strikes a different note but they captured Johnson really well. Absolute loved Macy as Arn Peeples. All you Minnesota fellers wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

It is kind of crazy that Claude Code cannot tell the difference between when it is running in an isolated cloud context versus on my system. This seems kind of fundamental, no?

[scott bradley @scott2b]

Would have been nice if @AnthropicAI told us that our $250 credit was just a cheap way for getting alpha testers instead of just dumping us into this terrible user experience thinking we might accomplish something.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Anyone got a success story they can share about fine-tuning an LLM?

I'm looking for examples that produced commercial value beyond what could be achieved by prompting an existing hosted model - or waiting a month for the next generation of hosted models to solve the same problem

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@girdley On that note, if you do happen to smoke pipe or cigar, your local smoking lounge might tick several of the boxes you are looking for and will be much less expensive than a club. (mostly) men hanging, shooting shit and smoking. Although unlikely to have a bar.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@girdley Yes but only if smoking is allowed. Not possible to do under the laws of many places in the US.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

lol. what is the point of codex's resume command?

"I don’t actually retain memory of prior sessions, even if you carry a session ID."

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@simonw I use direnv to auto-source all of my project environments. I don't use global python for anything. Environment is sourced when I enter the project directory so Claude inherits that environment.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@emollick Just wait until you hit the weekly rate limit and can't have any chat at all for days at a time.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@AmericanGwyn Not to be confused with the imperative.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

Given that Google has already scanned like every book on the planet, I would pay good money for @NotebookLM to license books as sources in a notebook.

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@AmericanGwyn Ok this is bizarre. I just discovered Bakhtin yesterday and checked out 4 books on dialogism today. You will now never convince me that you are not a bot ... who has access to my library holdings?

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@AmericanGwyn Wait what? Hungerford teaches Blood Meridian in her open Yale course. Bloom considered it part of the canon. You got reprimanded for "literature" reasons or because it offended the delicate sensibilities of your students?

[scott bradley @scott2b]

@alejandroxpadi One of several 4th-wall break type of intrusions that self consciously call attention to the film as filmmaking and underscore a pervasive tone and general theme of film as theater.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Forget MCP, what I want is an industry consortium backed standard for a JSON API protocol for talking to LLM providers

Everyone building half-baked copies of the OpenAI Chat Completion API worked until it didn't any more!

[scott bradley @scott2b]

A 30% price increase for @AppleTV when I already have too many streaming services. LOL, fastest cancellation ever.
