have you ever deployed an erlamg system? the biggest bugbear for concurrent systems is mutable shared data. by inherently being distributable you basically "give up on that" so for concurrent erlang systems you ~mostly don't

ironically with zig most of the things that violate expectations are keywords. so you run head first into a whole ton of them when you first start (but at least it doesn't compile) and then it you have a very solid mental model of wha

yeah, its a better c, but like wouldnt it be nice if c had stadardized fat pointers so that if you move from project to project you don't have to triple check the semantics? for example and like say 50+ "learnings" from 40 y

i am not familiar with rust and i gave up on python async years ago so i have no frame of reference here. but im really not sure why theres a need to distinguish between tasks and non tasks? importantly in zig the execution isnt just limit

i haven't. do people still use the "class" keyword?

the io isnt a single resource? it's a module grouping together a pile of code. and you can swap out implementations. the io modules should be responsible for handing out many failable resources, and synchronization is going to be

how do you "fail to obtain the token"?

by throwawaymaths 10mo ago
is it not the case that in zig, the execution happens in a_future.await? I presume that: io.async 1 stores in io "hey please work on this" io.async 2 stores in io "hey also please work on this" in the case where io is ev

Pretty sure the Zig team is aware of this and has plans to fix it before they re-release async.

1) zig's io is not a viral effect type, you can in principle declare a global io variable and use it everywhere that any library calls for it. Not best practice for a library writer, but if you're building an app, do what you wan

The website is not covered by the CoC, so they are not in abeyance

by throwawaymaths 10mo ago
read the CoC carefully, it says which spaces are governed by it. the website does not seem to be. that's deliberate, the CoC only applies to "working" spaces.

also to remember that thorium is the dominant radioactive byproduct of "rare" earth metal refinement; so they're probably isolating large amounts of it so might as well figure out something to do with it.

that makes no sense at all.

I think there's a space for something that wraps an llm (especially multimodal) to do something that's halfway to agentic. Yes you could do it yourself but it's not worth it to you to figure out prompts etc, especially when

Yes, you can also achieve this, presumably less efficiently, with Lora training.

That is not the case.
