This is not a practical approach given current LLM limitations. But perhaps in the future if the cost of each individual call decreases, and if latency decreases (and models run locally), but context window remains limited this approach could be more useful as it uses pairwise comparisons rather than loading the entire context window.

Limited practical usage, for sure.

A Python library that uses LLMs as comparators for semantic sorting. Sort any list by meaning, tone, complexity, urgency, or any criteria expressible in natural language. This library uses an OpenRouter API key to interface with LLM providers.

What immigration enforcement are you speaking of here? Legal? Illegal? If the latter, wouldn't this system be solving crime?

Regardless of what side you are on, this country is bigger than one man. This branding seems flippant and unserious.

The problem is far worse today than it was in his time. So much of recreation today consists of binge-watching Netflix. In addition, because Netflix has global reach, the world often watches the same content, devoid of local meaning.

I have realized that active recreation, although requiring overcoming a certain threshold of activation energy, is far more compelling and fulfilling than passive recreation.
