I have a little project I’m working on playing with, MentionVault.com. It’s a platform that allows you to look for guests on various podcasts and what was mentioned in each episode. So I was thinking, I can’t be that shoeless cobbler, how come I have an application and don’t have any Observability for it?! That’s how I decided to try a Splunk O11y deployment for my app.
Add new LLM models to Splunk MLTK
Splunk MLTK 5.6.0+ allows you to configure LLM inference endpoints, but the list is somewhat limited. Below, I’ll explain how you can add new LLM models to Splunk MLTK.

n8n – The response was filtered due to the prompt triggering Azure OpenAI’s content management policy
I started playing with n8n.io, specifically with the “My first AI Agent in n8n” workflow that comes OOTB.
I didn’t have OpenAI subscription, but I do have an Azure subscription and Azure OpenAI deployment to play with, so I replaced the “standard” OpenAI node with the Azure OpenAI one.
But when I started the execution, the Azure OpenAI Chat Model node threw an exception, straight in my face: “The response was filtered due to the prompt triggering Azure OpenAI’s content management policy.”.

Streamlit Langchain Quickstart App with Azure OpenAI
While there is a QuickStart example on the Streamlit site that shows how to connect to OpenAI using LangChain I thought it would make sense to create Streamlit Langchain Quickstart App with Azure OpenAI.

Stop pandas truncating output width …
I’m new to pandas (the first time touched it was 45 minutes ago), but I was wondering how can I stop pandas from truncating output width.
You know that annoying ... at the end of a field?!
So there is a magic display.max_colwidth option (and many other wonderful options).

Pinecone documentation is quite good, but when I wanted to create a free pod index in Pinecone using Python, I didn’t know what parameters I should supply.

Fix time drift on UTM Windows VM
I mainly use Mac for work, but occasionally need access to a Windows box. I am using UTM to achieve that. I have noticed that if you leave your Windows VM running and then your host Mac goes to sleep (overnight for example), there will be a time drift on the VM. So here is how to fix time drift on UTM Windows VM.

My first GenAI use-case
A couple of months ago my wife asked me if I could build her “something” to create a nice image with some thank-you text that she could send to her boutique customers. This is how my first GenAI use-case was born :-).
There are probably definitely services that can do it, but hey that was an opportunity to learn, so I jumped straight into it.
The Gen AI part turned out to be the easy one, but if you want to skip the rest you can jump straight to it.
