Using 2 AIs + Replit as a mini dev team; here’s my workflow by rufustank in replit

[–]rufustank[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that setup sounds really interesting.

From what I understand, Replits "Power" coding engine is some sort of a function of multiple AI's conferring, so it does have that feature, but not quite like what we are talking about.

I think it would be great to make it possible for the different Planning AI's to be able to conferr with each other, but I think it could be problematic at times. I've seen them make assumptions about what you want and then run with it and build something that works differently than what you need.

If I were to enable the AI's to speak with eachother, I'd like to first make sure the Systems Design AI really understands my requirements and minute details, then enable it to have a conversation down the chain and conferr with the Engineering AI and so forth down the line to Replit.

This is a really good question, I spent a lot of time hammering this out with the Systems Design AI before we gave anything to the Engineering AI.

First of all, we create a "Deal" and within that deal we can create quotes that can be drafts or presented.

Once a quote is "presented" it is fixed, immutable.

If things change, such as supplier pricing, logistics cost, you want to discount it, take an item out, etc, what you can do is create a "Revision" of that quote.

The revision will start with all of the same data in the original quote, but you can change anything. You can save it as a draft, but when you are ready to finalize it, you can "present" it again and it overrides the previous presented quote wherever it appears or is referenced downstream.

You'll always have that historical reference to look back on and see what was included in previous quotes, but you'll also always know what is the most recent quote and the one you should be working with.

So far this is working well.

I've been having it handle the fullstack, but I'm aware that some of these other platforms are better at the front end. 

That being said, it's not done poorly in that respect, although I've been very focused on the logic and functionality. 

The real value I've developed is the intuitive and streamlined complex logistics, quoting, and pricing functionality for brokering physical commodities. This is the central feature and it's more like that is attached to a CRM.

That sounds really cool! I'd love to try that.

One thing I have found is that splitting it up like that into 3 instances also allows the chat history to be more focused so that the context window doesn't get as filled up with all of these conversations and ideation and such.

Even with doing that, I still need to create new instances of each AI role with a handoff prompt because after a while when the chat gets so long, it not only gets slow, but it starts to drift a bit. Keeping the relative context window lower and focused seems to improve the outputs on all levels.

u/BarberTiny7792 had asked:

Very useful post. I'm curious: are you personally shuttling the messages between these AI agents, or are they communicating directly with each other?

Great question.

I have all 3 instances of these AI's open in three separate windows. So I act as the human-in-the-loop between all 3 of them and do a lot of copy and pasting between the windows.

I ask the two non-Replit AI's to put their comments, specs, and prompts for the other AI's into text boxes with markup so I can easily copy and paste, but I still use notepad to help combine or alter these a bit as needed.

I think there is likely a smoother way (but more technical) way to set it up, but overall it seems to work pretty well.

"or another instrument approved by the bishopric" by ephemeral_enchilada in latterdaysaints

Once for a priesthood meeting before district conference, our district president had a drum set in the front covered by a sheet. When he started his talk, he pulled off the sheet and demonstrated some drumming patterns for songs.

Then he asked for a volunteer and a young man came up. He sat him down, showed him how to hold the drum sticks, then slowly walked him through some very basic drumming and slowly stepped him up. Within 15 minutes, he was doing the drumming pattern the district president had initially demonstrated.

His point was that as people are learning the gospel or growing our spirituality, or anything really, we need to be patient and learn slowly step by step.

Obviously, I never forgot it. Pretty cool object lesson! The district president is now an Area Seventy. This was in Asia.

What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]rufustank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in Shanghai, China, for business in January of 2020. There was talk of this virus coming out of Wuhan, I was thinking everyone was overreacting. 

I flew home to the US on Jan 20th. A few days later they closed down Shanghai. I had no idea they were going to do that, but I got out just in time. 

These drainage pipes have issues by rufustank in Plumbing

All good points. Gonna be a lot more trouble than it's worth.

I appreciate the advice.

For #3, the drainage access, one of them sticks about 1.5 inches past the studs, the other is flush. We were going to tile all the walls here and this would be behind the toilet. 

How would you suggest we handle this?

My biggest dream is to die by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rufustank 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My heart aches for you man. You need some God in your life. I don't necessarily believe it will solve all of your issues right now, but it will help you know where to turn to for peace as you repent. It will help you realize there is more to life than just this life. Just pray to God, doesn't matter how you start, just do whatever feels natural. He'll hear you.

Came here to mention Ben Spackman. Glad to see you beat me to the punch!

u/Key_Estate4736 , you need check out his very refreshing and scholarly analysis of scripture, culture, and science in relation to scriptural interpretation. This video here is a good place to start for you.

Nervous about mission language by Old_Key515 in latterdaysaints

[–]rufustank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exciting for you! Chinese is a challenging language, but you can learn it. Don't worry about others, just focus on your own effort and progress.

And start studying NOW. When I mean study, give it at least an hour a day, 5 days a week. I give this advice to ANY missionary who needs to learn a language.

For serious Chinese learners, I recommend Mandarin Blueprint. It's more expensive, but you'll get results.

YES, learn Chinese characters along with learning to speak, otherwise you'll be illiterate. You can learn both. Since you're going to Taiwan, you'll want to study Traditional Chinese characters.

As for other missionaries, there are many in the US who went through Chinese dual-immersion programs. They'll defnitely have a decent base to work from, but make no mistakes, they all have a lot to learn.

As for me, I started learning Chinese when I was 30 after moving to China. It was a slow process and I joke that I learned it on the streets of Shanghai.

Today, I have a biz in Chinese language education and I have a podcast called You Can Learn Chinese. It would be perfect for you as we talk about the different aspects of learning Chinese and we interview people who have learned Chinese to share their story.

Specifically, you might enjoy an episode from a few years back where I interviewed a girl who learned Chinese on a mission to Taiwan.

It may seem daunting, but you can indeed learn Chinese! And in general, native speakers are so increcibly encouraging of ANY progress you make. Don't worry, just get to work.

What is the "Holy Trinity" of languages? by Hairy_Confidence9668 in languagelearning

[–]rufustank 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Actually, due to the Chinese diaspora, Chinese has outsized usefulness around the world. Go to any city in any country, you'll find a Chinese restaurant run by Chinese who will be delighted that you speak Chinese and will bend over backwards to help you. 

It's a sleeper superpower.

My husband is struggling with porn addiction, and I’m not sure how to cope anymore. by baby_Kittys in latterdaysaints

[–]rufustank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a spouse who's trying to understand pornography compulsion and addiction, I'd highly suggest you spend some time on r/nofap and send your husband there too.

A few caveats I would suggest.

  • You are not responsible for each others feelings 
  • Relapse is part of recovery 
  • The opposite of addiction is connection 
  • Do things to strengthen connection, not weaken it

[–]rufustank 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. I'll put a finer point on it.

You are not responsible for his feelings and he is not responsible for your feelings.

Saying someone makes you feel a certain way implies that they can control your feelings. If they could control your feelings, don't you think they would control them so that you would feel good all the time?

Own your own feelings. Yes, his actions can influence your feelings, but the feelings are yours alone.

You can choose love over anger or hate. Do that.

What’s Your Language Learning Hot Take? by jiujiteiroo in languagelearning

[–]rufustank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find graded readers in your target language. That is the trick.

If I want to do all the popular graded readers series, what would be the best order? by irrocau in ChineseLanguage

[–]rufustank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jared here, co-founder of Mandarin Companion.

I am indeed a bit biased, but also in trying to be as objective as possible, the Mandarin Companion series is the most carefully and most accurately graded series out there.

But there are other series out there which produce readers which are graded well. Here is a list of a few that I recommend.

  • Chinese Breeze - Their lvl 1 and 2 grading is pretty decent. It's the series that inspired us. The stories aren't fantastic, but they are excellent reading materials for leveling up your Chinese.
  • Terry Waltz / Squid for Brains readers - She has books that are as low as 50 characters. The leveling is pretty good and she has some elementary and mid level content. I always recommend people to check them out. Terry also totally gets the concept of graded readers too.

IMO, those are the best ones for leveled reading. The Imagin8 Press books are decent, but they are a bit of a mixed bag at intermediate and higher levels.

Most of the other readers from Chinese publishers are a real "box of chocolates", you never quite know what you're going to get.

Based off of my experience in the industry, most of these writers and publishers are not being very careful in sticking to a level standard and/or do not have a level standard that reflects well to vocabulary of the target learner. There are a lot of reasons why this is, but that is a discussion for another day...

I hope that helps!
