Who use openrouter for serious usage? Caching would be really bad unless you use preset to pin to single provider.

New comment by vietvu in "Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)"

Smarter to realize how the world actually works. Smart enough to reason through the “why,” solve problems, and stick with them instead of just letting them go. But thinking too much can also make it easy to overthink.

I am considered smart and yes I am unhappy from very young age. Mostly due to my family situation too but still: I don't see many kids realized unfair the world is at 6.

I cannot think of any that so concentrated. Best place to me is r/localllama on reddit. Unsloth website and twitter posts is a good place too (usually in localllama too).

Thanks for the transpiration but this is too shallow when talking about LLM serving.

What is important or right today might not be tomorrow. The problem that you think today did not exist at the moment of decision. Even if you turn back time, you would likely do the same (unless with today knowledge). Why resent?

You can just `uv venv`? Or even uvx?

vietvu — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 08:33:17 +0000

Yes, agree. At first I still use pyenv, or mise to manage python version, now that uv does that, uv is the only tool I need for everything in Python env.

It's ok, just don't use them anymore if you don't like it. I will switch to something else.

Quite sad to see devs nowadays has lost abilities to self-host. I know it can be overwhelming with Linux, networking, db, backup, hardware load.... However, it's not rocket science!

New comment by vietvu in "Claude Code on the web"

vietvu — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 03:32:18 +0000

I heard this opinion a lot recently. Codex is getting better, and Claude is getting worse so it's must happen sooner or later. Well, it's competition so waiting for Claude to catch up. The web Claude Code is good, but they really need to fix their quota. It's unusable. I would choose a worse model (maybe at 90%), but has better quota and usable. Not to mention GPT-5 and GPT-5-codex seems catch up or even better now.

New comment by vietvu in "Zed is now available on Windows"

vietvu — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 08:57:54 +0000

For Zed user, yes. They don't care (I too, didn't use Windows for years, but Windows is popular is a fact, not opinion).

What I meant was there are so many problems with Windows that the team cannot do it quickly (they post about it before: https://zed.dev/blog/windows-progress-report).

Just surprised, as I thought building GUI app on Windows must be easy right, as must be libs/frameworks already available to support that? It's just not.

I didn't know bundling app for the most popular OS is that hard.

Or paying deepseek for slightly cheaper and worse performance than OpenAI.

vietvu — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 02:11:07 +0000

I used to have pyenv, asdf or mise to manage python versions (never use conda unless I need DL lib like pytorch). Now just uv is enough.

New comment by vietvu in "A Replacement for BERT"

vietvu — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 02:33:20 +0000

LLMs like GPT are heavy and costly (and BERT are LLMs too, params can up to like 1.5B). For niche problems like classification on a small domain, BERT like models are much better, cheaper. You don't need all knowledge gen AI LLM has. I have seen many companies using DeBERTa or RoBERTa for text classification, not using GPT/LLaMA.
