Thanks for the great project! Any chance, your team might consider more open platform than Discord for posting updates? I personally find Discord hard to use, and there’s no way to have sensible subscription (like RSS). Discord is usually muted.

    What an insulting interview question, I hope it was just in jest or at the end looking to pad the time However, it did make me realize hidden therein is an actual interesting interview question, similar to the "describe what happens when you type an address into the browser's URL bar and hit enter": describe what happens after you type `:s/foo/bar` and hit enter. Followup version: what about `:%s/foo/bar`? The kind of thing that can be interesting to watch them reason through even if they don't know the answer, or even know what those syntaxes do.

Related: As an operator/mod/admin it's fairly straight-forward to bridge a Discord channel to Matrix (and, if one so desires, from there to IRC), allowing users not on Discord to participate. Conservative mods concerned about spam can start with an allowlist for which servers can join. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord

Discord is a black hole where information goes to die. Its search and scrollback is awful. It's awful at being an archive, as finding anything that was asked more than a day or two ago is impractical. To use Discord in good faith and with open eyes, you have to prioritize communication in the present, and give up hope of archiving anything that was said for people who might need the information in the future.

        > have you used google lately? might as well not be indexed with all the seo spam you get as top results I just googled "how to use openllm" as an example to test your thesis, and the results look very relevant to me. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+use+openllm&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+...

        You might want to glance again because all of those results are for a different product.

I know this isn't a great time for reddit, but I just made this on your behalf: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenLLM/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenLLM/ I much prefer the HN/Reddit discussion format to Discord and even Stack Overflow.
