I don’t know where you live but here in the UK and in Europe you can find all sorts of beer from 0 to 5% (and more of course), even in local supermarkets or draft in a pub. And yeah the 0% taste bad, but a 0.5 to 3% can be great, I’m sure you could find some online if you’re willing to, search for “table beer”, “small beer” or just low alcohol beer.

And in terms of non alcoholic beer, “lucky saint” tastes great (0.5%) and is very popular in the UK, lots of pub have it on tap.

Legally, probably not...?

Whether you may/should feel responsible depends on how the software works, I guess. Did it automatically recommend some drug, somewhat confidently, with gray text on gray background saying "AI sometimes makes mistakes"?

So I think we should behave responsibly when making software, even more now with AI

I prefer the CLI but the remote control with the phone app only works with the phone AFAIK, so that’s the only reason I use it.

Just my two cents. I'm on the Plus plan, I ask gpt-5.6 sol / high to analyze a vibe-coded codebase (~50k LoC) and write a plan to make it production ready. It wasn't a great prompt, I just wanted to test it quickly. It ran for ~15min and consumed 95% of my 5h quota (I thought it was gonna crash). The output is excellent but just a heads up that it consumes a lot of quota!

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
