DONT get me wrong. What you're saying I actually support. If this allows that company to have quality staff I'm all for it. The less time we both spend on each other the better. So just offer async processing.

Recently I saw the process of filling for 2 insurance claims through 2 different entities. First one used a great ai voice agent that does the process of filtering your query. it understood me perfectly. But then I still had to wait in lin

I feel the exact same way. I have felt 0 need to use an LLM in my current workflow. If I could explain concisely what my problem is in English - then I would already know the answer. In that case why would I be asking AI the question. And I

You could also use these techniques as steering behaviors for a group of autonomous agents? Each agent is a point on the segment. It'd be like a team doing a dragon or lion dance.

I've thought about this idea a lot. It seems like the idea we have of the centralized empires of the past is mostly based on movies and fiction - and maybe from the actions of the last remaining empires in the 19-20th century. I think

I should clarify. When I mean self host it’s for public facing applications that generate revenue. It involves some transaction in currency?value? between the user. Once money is involved you become a target. I don’t want anything that cou

Yeah this is what keeps me away from self-hosting public facing stuff. To me its like opening a new pipe into your home that is open to the whole world. And I'm too carefree to get the settings down right. So I avoid it all with comple

I'm using flow field pathing in the MMO game I'm making. It was surprisingly easy and intuitive to implement! And you can have huge gains if you cache paths to target cells and re-use them across different agents. Its kind of craz

Interesting read! If I had not picked Elixir + Godot for the multiplayer game I'm making, then I would've gone with Rust for the whole thing. The old naive version of me would've tried doing it in C++ + Unreal but I knew bett

I think the future is some BEAM-like VM abstraction for cloud environments. I worked at a 100% AWS serverless place and the current tooling is terrible. Now I'm working in Elixir and it offers so many of the tools I wish I had when wo

Yup me too. Just got out of working at a B2B SaaS that was 100% AWS serverless - Lambda, S3, dynamoDB and all that. I worked there for 3 years! When I started 3 years ago - the owners touted the benefits of all of it. And I agree its not al

Agreed. I really looked into if WebRTC would be possible for the game I'm trying to make but currently its not as easy as people make it out to be. fortunately - the communication channel is easily abstracted, so I wait for the day i f

Why are people in the US so against public schools? I am someone who did not really enjoy “school” and found it anxiety inducing but I still see the benefits of it. In public school you are forced to mingle with the people of your generatio
