Ok after re reading I think you have issues with long running spans, I think you should break down your spans in smaller chunks. But a trace can take many hours or days, and be analysed even when it’s not finished

I’ve implemented OTEL for background jobs, so async jobs that get picked up from the DB where I store the trace context in the DB and pass it along to multiple async jobs. For some jobs that fail and retry with a backoff strategy, they can take many hours and we can see the traces fine in grafana. Each job create its own span but they are all within the same trace.

Works well for us, I’m not sure I understand the issue you’re facing?

French native here. Libre means free in the sense of freedom, not in the sense of free as in free beer (the term for that is “gratuit”)

Did you consider also caching the coordinates returned by moondream? I understand that it is cheap, but it could be useful to detect if an element has changed position as it may be a regression

Not saying that you are, but reading this as if a AI bot wrote that comment gives me the chills

Oh I see what you mean that would be a neat feature. Assuming you can get timestamps though it should be trivial to work around the issue?

Do you know when we can expect an update on the realtime API? It’s still in beta and there are many issues (e.g voice randomly cutting off, VAD issues, especially with mulaw etc…) which makes it impossible to use in production, but there’s not much communication from OpenAI. It’s difficult to know what to bet on. Pushing for stt->llm->tts makes you wonder if we should carry on building with the realtime API.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean but twilio recordings supports dual channels already

New comment by ekzy in "Why Clojure?"

Probably referring to startup time. Larger apps solve this with the “reloaded” type of workflow (https://www.cognitect.com/blog/2013/06/04/clojure-workflow-r...)

New comment by ekzy in "Why Clojure?"

ekzy — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 21:18:55 +0000

Call it “stalled” if you like, it’s stable and it’s pure joy. I can just get stuff done with Clojure. And things that may seem inactive, like that lib that you need that hasn’t had a commit in 8 years, turns out that it just works and doesn’t need to change. This is commonplace in Clojure.

Spec is still alpha and I’m not sure it will evolve more or if it’ll be something completely different. At least they’re not pushing you down the wrong path. Use/look at Malli instead of spec.

IntelliJ got pretty good support for postgres language already. What else would this bring?

Nice. I’ve added a few favourites just to keep track of them, you never know!

It would be great if there was an API because I’m working on an UI that needs UUID autocomplete. Thank you!

Could you also pick up the audio announcements? Could be weird for the app to request microphone permission though, but I think lots of lines have them and should be doable to transcribe them locally on the phone. I think your approach is better and simpler, but as I was reading the edge cases (like someone changing train and going back in the other direction), the audio could maybe help getting from 90% accuracy to 98%. Sounds a bit more involved to implement though.

How do you, with a new product and one engineer, have an elixir backend and a clojurescript frontend? Genuine question about the choice of tech here.

ekzy — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 20:14:25 +0000

Honest question, what’s wrong with docker desktop? Looking at all the alternatives suggested it’s not clear to me why any other tools are better? I’m not using k8s locally, just docker compose. To connect to our remote k8s cluster, I use IntelliJ k8s extension (I just need to do some basic dev tasks, I’m not administrating the cluster)
