Laravel has a similar library https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/ai-sdk
"Local LLMs" sounds expensive compared to a 20$ subscription. You'd have to pay for years of usage upfront by purchasing those GPUs.

Many website-blocking or "focus" extensions show pop-ups and do all sorts. I just wanted something simple, a set-and-forget kind of thing.

This extension blocks distracting homepages but still lets you in for pages from search or links.

But wouldn't using a connection pool solve this problem of "stressing out the database"? I assumed a single connection from the pool would be considered "occupied" until we hear back from the database.

Or are you saying that processing lots of requests/tasks in Rails while waiting for the database would quickly eat up all the CPU? It seems like a good thing - "resource utilization" = servers should do things whenever possible rather than just waiting. Although now that I think about it you'd only want maximum resource utilization if your database is on a separate server.

> More concurrency is not always ideal

Is this due to increased memory usage? Does the same apply to Sidekiq if it was powered by Fibers?

There are multiple cities/towns with the same name in my country, but unfortunately, it's impossible to specify which one is mine at meet.hn. What a shame.
Thank you! We'll add it on our roadmap
Thank you! We do have one - `runAndWait`. I will shortly update the docs and I agree that using SSE would be more efficient than polling. Will add that next!
