The part about injecting randomness is the most intersting bit of the article.

So if you want your LLM responses to be more distributed (beyond what setting the temperature will allow), add some random english words to the start of the prompt.

Meh, I tell it "use uuidgen and get your randomness from that". Of course, that won't work on ChatGPT web, but works well enough on the command line.

This works for a listener down the chain, but obviously can't work for performers playing together. The article mentions a producer listening to remotely located performers as they were playing together, but fails to mention how these remotely located performers can sync to each other in the first place.

Explained in the article:

> A producer sends a backing track to a performer - SyncDNA adds a slight delay to the outbound feed

The "backing track" is probably the beat or something similar.

To help understand why a complex query with many joins comes back empty, I like to provide helper debug functions that builds the query step by step. Each block checks one prerequisite and tells the user what’s missing:

```sql FUNCTION debug_user(user_id):

  IF NOT (SELECT FROM user WHERE user.user_id = user_id) THEN
    -- user doesn’t exist
  END IF;

  IF NOT (SELECT FROM user
           JOIN user_addr ON user_addr.user_id = user.user_id
           WHERE user.user_id = user_id) THEN
    -- user has no address
  END IF;

  -- keep adding joins until you find the break

```

because when you have a query that involves 6 relations, and you don't get results, it is nice to know why.

I do the "same thing", but using PostgreSQL `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`. EXPLAIN ANALYZE has information about the number of rows returned, which means I know exactly which node in the query plan failed to return expected values.

This has some overlap with Overmind / foreman / Procfile. To wait for another process to be started, I resort to using plain `sleep` or `dockerize -wait`.

Good job on building this!

In the article, it is mentioned that « we can grant temporary access to cardiac-related data » (paraphrased). This is where it gets difficult: how am I to know that some data is cardiac-related or not? Is it important to share my thyroid levels or not? This is a very difficult problem. I wouldn’t know what to share for medical history.

I loved David's book Sustainable Rails[1], it's one of the books on Rails I always recommend.

This is a really interesting take. I'd love see one of these small alternative frameworks full embrace Sorbet and use it for things like form validation. I guess that might defeat the gradual typing approach but it would definitely be interesting.

Sorbet is nice, but for data structure enforcement and data validation, I much prefer the dry-rb ecosystem.

Heroku's 25 hours comes to mind... this is so infuriating and annoying.
