All the crazy, demon-ish, speed-freak car manufacturers are out there with one single motto — ‘Your money can drive you crazy…’ well, there’s nothing to doubt! While they deal with monstrous engineering marvels, they also need to make sure that they are maintaining it well. Talking about the gemstone machinery they carve every year, they make sure that there is enough room for maintenance once the product is delivered to its owner. Inventory management has taken over their worries, and thence came into action ‘smooth manufacturing inventory.’ Their reputation is at stake, and one wrong move can cost them millions! For some automotive manufacturers, their reputation is more important than their sales. All they rely on is the demand amongst the higher class of people. Well, this might go a bit off the topic, but simply selling their automotive at their desired price is not what these companies eye for. They want their products to be in the hands of people who are capable of it, well, ‘reputation’ is everything. These companies take too much pride for their cars, especially for the one who owns them. They want their cars to be a spotlight for mansions, highly reputed people, not anyone who can get hands on these beasts. It wouldn’t be wrong to call these companies ‘ruthless’ as there are many such broken hearts, which deserved one of these, yet didn’t get any. afford Huge expenses demand gigantic protection and maintenance. These cars (mostly don’t, because of the reputation, you see), sometimes get their engines or exhausts damaged because of the speed and intensity they are handled with. Such automotive companies have their repair-inventory full of the parts they feel are mostly demanded. There is no scope of a dead-inventory in such cases, as there is never a possibility that the product will die in the inventory unless they stop the production of the car it is associated with. Because their cars are their reputation, people who own these cars are also valuable. One single fault and these companies toil it out till its sorted. Special logistics and shipment facilities are offered for this. has made it easier for the automobile industry to take the utmost care of their sculpted marvels. Hats off to their inventory management system, from the scratch till the car is delivered. Integration with most of the shipment giants Turning the pages, how have these automotive companies managed to sustain themselves? Well, let’s get rolling! Bugatti Automobiles Founded in the year 1909 by Ellore Bugatti, Bugatti Automobiles was well-known for its beauty and elegance. After all the struggles and fight against the bad times, Bugatti managed to manufacture only ~8000 cars in 50 years. Unfortunately, the operations were impacted after World War 1 and Bugatti had to close the eyes. In the late 90's, Bugatti was taken over by the Volkswagen group and was gradually owned. This is from where the furious journey of Bugatti began. Known to be the fastest car in the world for years, Bugatti Veyron, the best model of Bugatti with other variants, became the sole dream of almost every billionaire. Talking about how they managed the manufacturing, let’s keep our eye on the wheel. Bugatti Automobiles managed to sell only over 1000 cars in the span of 10 years, from 2005 till 2015, till it was replaced by , the world’s fastest car after Bugatti Veyron. This didn’t impact the financials of Bugatti, at all. ‘Koenigsegg Agera R’ Bugatti followed the concept of ‘on-demand manufacturing.’ This never made them a victim of over-stocking their inventory, let that be the repairable and the spare-parts of their vehicles. The ‘just-in-time’ (Kanban) and at it’s best, ain’t it?! The cars come with high maintenance, so Bugatti had to make sure that there was ample inventory for the parts, roughly ten times more than the production of their cars. inventory management system Bugatti, with the lowest number of cars sold, became the first name when talking about high-speed sports cars. Guess they have a gold-toned oil, which costs the owners $21,000 to get it changed. They do deserve an applause, don’t they!? Rolls Royce Motor Cars Founded in the year 1998, Rolls Royce, a wholly owned subsidiary of the German automobile giant BMW, was first into manufacturing heavy-aircraft engines. When it comes to pride and awesomeness, Rolls Royce has never stayed back. As the name says, it believes in being only with the royal personalities; not anyone can get into a Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce’s inventory is considered to be the heftiest when talking about the cost of the car and the spare-parts. It’s made in a way that no one can take an eye off it till it vanishes. Royal, indeed! When you wear an expensive coat, you make sure that it doesn’t get dirty. Well, that was a cheap comparison, but yes, if you own a Rolls Royce, the more you plan to feed this beast, the less it would be. The Rolls Royce team ensures that it’s just not the car that you can afford, but the expenses that come along with it. This car is made in a way that you can never plan to get a spare-part from anywhere else except for Rolls Royce, crazy isn’t it? As said, this beauty has a mighty repair-inventory back home. The they use is not linked to any marketplace. They have their own online store, which is accessible only to the owners of this car. Again, a kanban system is followed, which leaves no margin for over-stocking. inventory management software Along with the cars, this company is well-known for the manufacturing of heavy-duty Boeing aircraft engines. A trusted engine provider to many reputed airlines, Rolls Royce engines have proven to be the best amongst all. When it comes to the inventory of these engines, Rolls Royce has gigantic warehouses and assembly lines. The rotor-blades, the metal used, everything is stocked. Now, again, there is no scope for a dead-inventory, as the stock will last until the product lasts. The big deal, Rolls Royce has sold only ~3000 cars since 2014, worldwide. Strange, but true! Rolls Royce takes care of its inventory in a special way; highly secured with all the barcode systems and RFIDs enabled. The spare-parts remain in a constant scrutiny of the expert officials so that there are no chances for inventory shrinkage, in any case. Kenworth Trucks These monsters are no less! Kenworth Manufacturing Company was founded in 1923 in Seattle, United States. Since then, this trucking company hasn’t seen behind. One of the global trucking leaders, Kenworth is one of a kind. If a Kenworth runs from right next to you, you can feel the ground moving. Muscle, power, and style are what Kenworth focuses on. Kenworth has a huge manufacturing unit (I’m talking about the Kirkland unit here), where it has the assembly line, paint-shop, etc. but not spare-part manufacturing. The spare-parts are manufactured in another unit. Kenworth gets the repairable only when required. This replenishment is quite often because this trucking giant has now made itself run into the blood of global trucking. With power comes responsibility and maintenance. This has made Kenworth cater its customers with all the required spare parts. After its collaboration with PACCAR, Kenworth made sure that its inventory of spare-parts is always full. From the seat-belt to the music systems present inside the truck, Kenworth has a backup for everything in its warehouse. Inventory management system in here, it’s sickening!

Inventory Management System for the Automotive Giants.

The First Miracle: The Emergence of Life Is an Expected Phase Transition

Recollections of My Life: Part 3

The adoption of digital technology has probably reached an all-time high, with the rapid transformation of business processes and services from non-digital to digital. According to recent studies, global spending on digital transformation is expected to hit $3.4 trillion by 2026. It has also been forecasted that the United States will account for 35% of this global spending and could pass the $1 trillion mark in 2025. Several technology leaders have taken lead roles in bringing about this much-needed change in America. Naga Simhadri Apparao Polireddi, an expert in secure web chatbots and web development, has made remarkable contributions through his path-breaking innovations. He is highly rated for his knowledge and expertise in designing AI/ML language models, developing rules using Natural Language Processing (NLP), and creating chatbot applications with technologies such as NodeJS, Java/J2EE, Python Machine Learning (ML) libraries, Dialog flow, TensorFlow, ECMAScript 6, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Spring Boot Microservices. A Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering and a Master of Computer Science from Arizona State University (ASU), Polireddi started his illustrious career in 2002 as an Assistant Professor at Sree Dattha Institute of Engineering & Science College, Hyderabad, India. In the earlier part of his career, he also worked with Hewlett-Packard Global soft (hp), Wipro Technologies, and Infinite Computer Solutions as a Software Developer/ Java Technical Leader. As part of a multi-million-euro collaboration between TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) and Nokia Siemens Networks, Polireddi served as an Assistant Consultant at TATA Consultancy Services from 2010 to 2012, stationed at the client location of Nokia Siemens Networks in Lisbon, Portugal. He conducted a review of the architecture of the Nokia product NetAct and identified defects, including mismatched network element names in the network element Drop-down menu, incorrect passing of Network element code while submitting network element personalization software to the network, and refresh issue of network element alarms.  He was also involved in the development of the NetAct File-Based CM Events module utilizing Java technology. From 02/2012 to 03/2013, Polireddi was part of Saudi Telecommunication Company's (STC) project IRB (infinys rating and billing) upgrade aimed to upgrade its billing operations to new technologies in the core area of GSM and 4G business using 1RB5.1.7 and Billing and Rating management application (BRM) software package from Netcracker Technology Corp. This upgrade helped Saudi Telecommunication Company (STC) gain a customer-focused, service management approach to their operational processes, enabling them to automate and integrate their order fulfillment, customer service management, and billing functions across multiple product and service offerings while reducing the operational cost of USD 2.5M. As part of a TCS project,  Polireddi also served Singapore Airlines from March 2013 to June 2015, undertaking the design and development of a customized solution for the company's Amadeus Altéa product by developing the PODS (Passenger Operational Data distributed System) module. Utilizing his knowledge of airline domain and IOS Web development technologies, he developed a tablet-based CrewCollab product for Singapore Airlines, which was later sold by TCS to clients worldwide. Some of Polireddi’s most important projects were executed during his tenure with Cognizant, serving American Express. From 06/2017 – 08/2018, he handled the American Express Instant “Member Card Number” project, which led to the creation of a first-of-its-kind solution for the credit card industry. Following this game-changing project, American Express customers were provided with an instant membership, contributing to an increase in spending with a business value exceeding $20 million. From 05/2019 until 01/2022, Polireddi worked as the Software Architect for the American Express "Rubiks and Gambit" project, which aimed to introduce a "no negative credit impact" in the card application process. This allows prospective cardholders to submit an application for a credit card and find out if they’re approved before undergoing a hard credit check. Unlike hard credit checks, this soft credit check approval feature has no impact on the applicant’s credit score. With the live implementation of this project, American Express achieved a projected revenue gain of $211 Million. Presently working with IKON Tech Services, Polireddi has designed an AI Chatbot for American Express apply website. This chatbot is capable of streamlining operational processes and improving user experience by facilitating immediate response to user queries, effectively handling high-volume interactions, and ultimately expediting credit card acquisitions for American Express. Following this development, over 90,000 conversations were held over the 90 days while reducing operational costs by 30%. Polireddi's current project for Verizon features the introduction of a groundbreaking GPS solution known as Hyper Precise Location (HPL) using Real-Time Kinematics (RTK). This technology ensures location accuracy within one to two centimeters on the Verizon 5G network, which is crucial for autonomous vehicles and high-definition (HD) maps. The project involved seamless integration of AWS cloud solutions with Node.js application deployment practices, garnering attention from multiple Fortune 500 clients for Verizon. “I strongly believe that secure web chatbots have the potential to become the primary channel for customer service in years to come. The combination of NLP and ML has enabled chatbots to understand conversations more intelligently, comprehend the nuances of query intention, and improve their accuracy in executing commands, even in technical situations,” said Polireddi. “It is a matter of great pride for me to be able to utilize my knowledge and wisdom in building a digitally transformed America.” References: https://explodingtopics.com/blog/digital-transformation-stats Vested Interest Disclosure: This author is an independent contributor publishing via our business blogging program.

HackerNoon editorial team has launched this interview series with women in tech to celebrate their achievements and share their struggles. We need more women in technology, and by sharing stories, we can encourage many girls to follow their dreams. Share your story today! Tell us about yourself! Ritika: I am a technical product manager who is passionate about bringing compelling enterprise solutions to the market to solve customer problems at scale and deliver profitable growth. I have over ten years of experience in the field, working for large enterprises such as Splunk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Dell Technologies, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Prior to working in the Enterprise technology space, I worked in the automobile industry as a manufacturing planning engineer. My Academic qualifications include an MBA and Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering. Why did you choose the Technology Product Management field in the first place? Ritika: The early seeds of my career in technology product management were planted serendipitously during my first job as an industrial engineer working at one of India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers. Focusing on the engineering implementation aspect of manufacturing new vehicles, I grew extremely curious about who decided what to build and why we were building something. It was fascinating to uncover the customer demands and business objectives behind each product line in the factory. I decided to pursue an MBA at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, looking for formal education in the business side of things. During my MBA, I got into the product management world as an intern for enterprise storage. This role was a true 'aha' moment for me. I saw firsthand how products are conceptualized, developed, and launched. I realized that product management was where I wanted to focus my career. Over the past decade, this decision has been the most rewarding one, allowing me to lead the launches of multiple high-impact products. What tech are you most excited/passionate about right now and why? Ritika: I find data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the precision farming field very exciting. Very soon traditional farming is going to face a lot of challenges while dealing with climate change and resource depletion. The world population is predicted to grow rapidly which puts immense pressure on agriculture to constantly increase its output. We can enrich precision farming practices such as optimized watering and controlling plantation methods based on real-time data on soil conditions, weather forecasts, and crop health by integrating AI with sophisticated data analytics closer to where the decision needs to be made. This technology has the potential and is probably our only hope to significantly increase crop yields and reduce waste by optimizing resource usage. What tech are you most worried about right now and why? Ritika: I am worried about how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT will continue to train on public data. Training models on copyrighted work without permission is concerning, but if laws are put in place to regulate this, AI companies will potentially run out of public data to train their models. I am concerned about how this will go down to be fair to original content creators while not impeding the evolution of LLMs. What are your hobbies and interests outside of tech? Ritika: Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, learning Spanish (currently on my 342nd-day streak on Duolingo), creating content on social media platforms, and hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Let's talk about breaking the glass ceiling. What were the biggest challenges you faced as a woman in tech, and how did you deal with them? Ritika: I have faced my fair share of challenges in the industry. There are some common microaggressions I have encountered, including being interrupted or talked over by colleagues, my achievements being attributed to my gender instead of competence, and assuming things about my interests and skills based on gender stereotypes. Any questionable misogynistic story/situation you faced/handled, and you want to share with the HackerNoon Fam? Ritika: There is one story that stands out for me. I was assigned to lead a major project involving a collaboration with a third-party company to co-brand and market a multimillion-dollar product. This was a significant opportunity, especially since I was one of the youngest product managers ever tasked with such a project. The key meeting for this project was scheduled in Europe, and I traveled there to meet with my counterpart from the third-party company. Before the official meeting, we met informally at a conference. It became immediately apparent that he was uncomfortable with me leading the project once he realized who I was. Without consulting me, he quickly included my manager in the upcoming meeting. During the meeting, he directed all questions to my manager, ignoring me despite my role as the subject matter expert. This not only put me in an awkward position but also frustrated my manager, who expected me to be the primary point of communication. After the meeting, I expressed my dissatisfaction to my manager, who was equally disappointed by the counterpart's behavior. Together, we decided that the best course of action was for my manager to decline future meeting invitations and to send a note emphasizing that all decisions and communications should be channeled through me. This incident underscores the challenges women often face in professional settings, where gender prejudices overshadow our capabilities and leadership roles. It’s crucial for organizations to support their staff by fostering an environment where such biases are addressed promptly and effectively. What was the biggest setback/failure that you faced, and how did you manage it? Ritika: Failures are opportunities to learn, working in Technology product management I live by the principle of failing fast when introducing new products and I tend to apply the same ideology in life to continuously course correct and move forward. What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? Ritika: I am proud of my resilience, both professionally and personally. I continue to persevere in the face of challenges and focus on my skills. I used to be proud of becoming my business school’s brand ambassador and having a billboard near IAH airport with my face on it. When my parents traveled from India for my graduation in the USA, they beamed with joy seeing my billboard on their way to the airport, which made me proud. In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? Ritika: The huge gender gap cannot be attributed to one thing, but one of the biggest contributing factors is the lack of STEM awareness and education for young girls, especially in developing countries. Lack of limited role models in the workplace, preconceived notions, and biases also contribute to the problem. We all need to come together to reduce the gender gap in Tech. Some of the ways can be to Promote STEM education among young girls through programs and scholarships.
Encourage an inclusive culture that provides a safe space to support women throughout their careers.
Include more diverse leaders in tech companies. Who is your tech idol? Why? Ritika: I admire a lot of tech folks. Radia Perlman, also known as the “mother of the internet,” is pretty amazing. Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field? Ritika: My advice to aspiring women/girls who want to join Tech is never to undersell yourself. Have confidence in your potential. I have observed women often hesitate to apply for a tech position unless they meet every single listed job requirement/qualification. But you need to remember that candidate requirements are often a “good to have” skill list for the ideal candidate, and thus not meeting every criterion should not deter you from applying. Many skills can be learned on the job, and showing a willingness to grow and adapt is highly valued in the tech industry.

Without consulting me, he quickly included my manager in the upcoming meeting. During the meeting, he directed all questions to my manager, ignoring me despite my role as the subject matter expert. This not only put me in an awkward position but also frustrated my manager, who expected me to be the primary point of communication. After the meeting, I expressed my dissatisfaction to my manager, who was equally disappointed by the counterpart's behavior. Together, we decided that the best course of action was for my manager to decline future meeting invitations and to send a note emphasizing that all decisions and communications should be channeled through me. Ritika: This incident underscores the challenges women often face in professional settings, where gender prejudices overshadow our capabilities and leadership roles.

Ritika: Failures are opportunities to learn, working in Technology product management I live by the principle of failing fast when introducing new products and I tend to apply the same ideology in life to continuously course correct and move forward. Ritika: What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? Ritika: I am proud of my resilience, both professionally and personally. I continue to persevere in the face of challenges and focus on my skills. I used to be proud of becoming my business school’s brand ambassador and having a billboard near IAH airport with my face on it.

Ritika: In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? Ritika: The huge gender gap cannot be attributed to one thing, but one of the biggest contributing factors is the lack of STEM awareness and education for young girls, especially in developing countries. Lack of limited role models in the workplace, preconceived notions, and biases also contribute to the problem. Ritika: We all need to come together to reduce the gender gap in Tech. Some of the ways can be to Promote STEM education among young girls through programs and scholarships. Encourage an inclusive culture that provides a safe space to support women throughout their careers. Include more diverse leaders in tech companies.

Include more diverse leaders in tech companies. Who is your tech idol? Why? Ritika: I admire a lot of tech folks. Radia Perlman, also known as the “mother of the internet,” is pretty amazing. Ritika: Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field? Ritika: My advice to aspiring women/girls who want to join Tech is never to undersell yourself. Have confidence in your potential. I have observed women often hesitate to apply for a tech position unless they meet every single listed job requirement/qualification. But you need to remember that candidate requirements are often a “good to have” skill list for the ideal candidate, and thus not meeting every criterion should not deter you from applying. Many skills can be learned on the job, and showing a willingness to grow and adapt is highly valued in the tech industry. Ritika:

Highlighting 15 Exemplary Designs and Brands of 2024

BUSINESS COLLEGES

No. Thank you and goodbye. Ok, first off, I apologize for the click-bait style title. Every now and then, when I get an idea for a demo, it doesn't work. But , it doesn't work out in a fun and interesting way, and I figure it's a good idea to share it anyway. (Also, there's always the chance that it didn't work out because I did something wrong!) Today's demo is a perfect example of that, I think. sometimes strong Earlier this year, I built a using Alpine.js and the quite excellent . Yesterday, I was thinking about the game, and I wondered - what would happen if I used generative AI to ask for help when playing it? So, for example, I went to and saw this: Blackjack game Deck of Cards API my game In Google's PaLM Makersuite app, I wrote: I'm playing blackjack and the dealer has a six of diamonds showing. I've got a jack of clubs and a jack of hearts. Should I hit or should I stay? And got this response: You have 20, which is a good hand. The dealer has 16, which is below the average. If you hit, you risk getting a card that will bust you. So it's better to stay and hope that the dealer busts. Which, ok, is pretty obvious. You would never hit with two Jacks. But I loved the descriptive response that reinforces the principles of the game. I thought - what if I added a button to the game that lets you ask GenAI for help? Here's how I did it: The Front End On the front end, I kept the UI changes pretty minimal. I began by adding a simple button: Clicking this needs to do two important things. First, it needs to 'translate' the game state into a prompt; then, it needs to pass this to a service that will handle the call. I created a new function, , that handles it: gen AI askForHelp async askForHelp() {
	this.aiHelp = 'Asking our AI friend...';

	// first, "translate" the cards to English
	let q = `I'm playing blackjack and the dealer currently has ${this.pcCards[1].value} of ${this.pcCards[1].suit.toLowerCase()}. I've got a ${this.playerCards[0].value} of ${this.playerCards[0].suit.toLowerCase()} and a ${this.playerCards[1].value} of ${this.playerCards[1].suit.toLowerCase()}. Should I hit or should I stay?`;
	console.log(q);

	let resp = await fetch(`https://eo8dkukowewth66.m.pipedream.net?text=${encodeURIComponent(q)}`);
	let help = await resp.json();

	/*
	note that help has line breaks and stuff in and in theory
	we should map to br or something, but im fine ignoring.
	*/
	this.aiHelp = '';
	alert(help);
}, I store the player and PC cards in two variables that contain an array of cards representing their hands. Each card has a 'value,’ which is either a number or a name, like Jack. Each card also has a suit. In theory, that's probably not critical information, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Here's an example prompt generated by a game: I'm playing blackjack and the dealer currently has 8 of clubs. I've got a 7 of spades and a QUEEN of hearts. Should I hit or should I stay? This is passed off to my backend service (more on that in a second), and the result is then displayed in a JavaScript alert, which is 100% horrible UX, but as this was an experiment, I figured it was good enough. If you're curious, this is what the response was: Stay. You have a total of 17, which is a good hand. The dealer's 8 is not a high card, so you are unlikely to lose if you stay. The Back End For my back end, I whipped up a quick workflow. My workflow consisted of literally just three steps. Pipedream The first is my trigger, an HTTP endpoint. You can see the URL in the front-end code above. The second step is the built-in Google PaLM API action. All I had to do was tell it what to use for a prompt: {{steps.trigger.event.query.text}} My final step simply returned the result: export default defineComponent({
 async run({ steps, $ }) {
 await $.respond({
 status: 200,
 headers: {
 "Content-Type":"application/json"
 },
 body: JSON.stringify(steps.generate_text.$return_value[0].candidates[0].output),
 })
 },
}) Time to Win, right? So... yeah. My first few tests worked great, and then... things went off the rails. Here's an example. The dealer had a seven of hearts. I had a queen of spades and an eight of diamonds. When I asked for help, I got: The dealer's upcard is 7, which is a "hard" 17. That means that the dealer must stand regardless of what you do. You have a "soft" 19, which means that you have an ace that can count as either 1 or 11. You should stay. Ok, sure, I stay, but what in the actual frak? I have 19? The dealer has 17? And it gets better. Once when I had 18 showing, I got the following: should I would recommend hitting. With a total of 18, you are only one point away from 21, which is the winning hand in blackjack. The dealer's seven of hearts gives them a total of 17, which is below the 21 threshold. Therefore, there is a good chance that the dealer will bust if they hit, which would give you the win. However, if you stay, you will not be able to improve your hand and will have to hope that the dealer busts. Hitting on 18. I'm no professional gambler, but I'm pretty sure that's bad advice. This got me thinking about my prompt a bit more. I did some tweaks, like lowercasing the suit, as I was worried it may have confused the AI. I iterated through some options in Makersuite, and consistently, it seemed to struggle with basic math at times. Even when I was explicit: I've got a jack of clubs (worth ten) and an eight of hearts (worth 8). It still thought I had 19. I did have better luck with this: I've got a jack of clubs (worth ten) and an eight of hearts (worth 8). My hand total is 18. And I also tried this: I've got a ace of clubs and an eight of hearts. My hand total is 9 or 19. And that seemed to consistently work correctly. So, with that in mind, I went back to my prompt generation and updated my logic there. Here's the updated version: async askForHelp() {
	this.aiHelp = 'Asking our AI friend...';

	let totalOb = this.getCount(this.playerCards);
	let totalStr = 'My hand has a total of ';
	if(totalOb.lowCount === totalOb.highCount) {
		totalStr += totalOb.lowCount;
	} else {
		totalStr += `${totalOb.lowCount} or ${totalOb.highCount}`;
	}
	
	// first, "translate" the cards to English
	let q = `I'm playing blackjack and the dealer currently has ${this.pcCards[1].value} of ${this.pcCards[1].suit.toLowerCase()}. I've got a ${this.playerCards[0].value} of ${this.playerCards[0].suit.toLowerCase()} and a ${this.playerCards[1].value} of ${this.playerCards[1].suit.toLowerCase()}. ${totalStr}. Should I hit or should I stay?`;
	console.log(q);

	let resp = await fetch(`https://eo8dkukowewth66.m.pipedream.net?text=${encodeURIComponent(q)}`);
	let help = await resp.json();
	console.log('RESP', help);
	/*
	note that help has line breaks and stuff in and in theory
	we should map to br or something, but im fine ignoring.
	*/
	this.aiHelp = '';
	alert(help);
}, My Blackjack game has a utility function, , that returns an object containing two values , where Aces are treated as one, and , where one Ace at most is considered eleven. With this, I add to my prompt information about the total. getCount lowCount highCount This help quite a bit, but I still sometimes returned delusional responses. did So... maybe consider it your drunk friend at the gambling table offering advice? I'd love to share this version of the demo publicly, and I can share the code, of course, but I'm disabling the Pipedream workflow so that I don't get charged for it. Feel free to look at the front-end code here: https://codepen.io/cfjedimaster/pen/QWYpQjY/905e31ed6d9e3539c041044b308f5f06?editors=1011 As always, let me know what you think! Also published . here
