Hello! Parent that's fully aware of this. My son has access to a landline and it solves the problem of tech as a tool vs a past time. If he thinks of his friend, he calls, friends reach out etc. No scrolling for something to do. I see my phone usage and am constantly trying to introduce friction into it. This is an extension of that concept.
Yeah, imagine having, say, two of these LIDAR sensors, each pointed towards the car's blind spots. Comma already does well with the car's built-in radar + vision on straight freeway runs, but can't reliably change lanes on its own. The built in blind spot detectors on most cars are a binary "there is/not a car present", which doesn't reliably determine if it's safe to actually do a lane change.
I've been been using OpenClaw for a bit now and the thing I'm missing is observability. What's this thing thinking/doing right now? Where's my audit log? Every rewrite I see fails to address this.
I feel Elixir and the BEAM would be a perfect language to write this in. Gateways hanging, context window failures exhaustion can be elegantly modeled and remedied with supervision trees. For tracking thoughts, I can dump a process' mailbox and see what it's working on.
Agree on the observability. Every time I've seen that mentioned on the many, many discussions on Xitter theres one of the usual clickbait youtube 'bros' telling you to go watch their video on how to make your own ui for it. Really shouldn't need to for such a fundamentally basic and crucial part of it. It's a bit of a hot mess.
