I don’t know how tech savvy you are, but I’m assuming since your on lemmy it’s pretty good :)
The way we’ve solved this sort of problem in the office is by using the LLM’s JSON response, and a prompt that essentially keeps a set of JSON objects alongside the actual chat response.
In the DND example, this would be a set character sheets that get returned every response but only changed when the narrative changes them. More expensive, and needing a larger context window, but reasonably effective.
I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.
These are a great example that I might use in the office. Everything makes sense in isolation, but the unity the wind, waves and sails don’t quite match in a way I couldn’t put my finger on.
Listen. Well done. Just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Now go and put away your laundry. /s
I look after the strategy team for the CISO of a financial services company. I do enjoy my job, but I’ve swapped debugging IT systems for debugging organisational systems, and there’s a frustrating amount of baggage (financial reporting, process reporting, people managment) that you have to carry to get to that table.
I feel this. I used to have a job that involved popping difficult problems off the ‘hard problem’ queue, solving them and moving on. No one bothered me, I knew the set up and all was good. But it didn’t pay well, and now I manage people who get to have all the fun while I chase 30 minutes of focus in an 8 hour day.
Thanks for the link. I knew nothing about him and that was cool.
Without going to whole hog and hosting my own infrastructure, what are some good alternatives?
It’s hard though. A key criteria (at least in the UK) how much it affects you day-to-day. My father probably has it and passed along a lot of guidance that I now recognise as coping mechanisms/symptom management strategies. Day to day I’ve got it in hand, it’s only when the big storms come that I struggle, and that doesn’t fit with the diagnostic approach.
