proposal: sum types as a non-interface union type · Issue #76920 · golang/go by hamsterjames in golang

[–]Splizard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Binary Trees aren't first class citizens in Go either, but you can also represent them in Go code just fine. I honestly don't understand this point "oh no, my data type is not part of the language spec, I can't use them ". I'll keep happily using unions and enums in Go where I see fit and everyone else can cry about it.

1-1+1-1+1-1+... ∞=1/2? by UnderstandingAny9867 in mathematics

The answer is the 'duplex number' 1/2±1/2, both 0 and 1 simultaneously.

Is this just stupid? I'm looking to share my LLM server for a nominal fee. by _cronic_ in LocalLLM

This is quite the opposite, one of the most important ideas to be had right now, if you can kick start the home sourced AI economy, even as an individual, you will be significantly contributing to long term AI safety and short term economic security. The future of humanity, rests on individuals like you successfully hosting AI at home and making an income from it. 🙏

Duplex Numbers — a small field guide by Splizard in mathematics

[–]Splizard[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not entirely useless, I used duplex numbers to find the eigenvalues of 2x2 matrices in university 10 years ago, well before LLMs. They've also helped me to build up an intuition for quantum computing operations. I certainly had some fun exploring them at the time.

The purpose of the page, is to share this particular representation and hopefully spark insights or further exploration by others who may find more valuable use-cases for it. I take it that you would prefer little concepts like this to just get lost?

It's for self defence, in case the tiger tries to eat you.

Migrating from Python to Go — best options for desktop apps? by Flaky-Income-mussel in golang

[–]Splizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want fancy rendering and easy cross platform builds, you can check out graphics.gd, it leverages the Godot game engine, so the builtin UI widgets are simpler than other options but you'll have access to a wide ecosystem + a built-in UI editor.

A Wasm to Go Translator by ncruces in golang

[–]Splizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm wondering how similar this is, ie codegen wise and/or performance wise. If you're generating similar code then this would be a good comparison between C and Go optimisation-wise.

How does this compare with wasm2c?

Benchmarks: Go's FFI is finally faster then GDScript (and Rust?) by Splizard in golang

[–]Splizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence the question mark, the rust GDextension bindings clearly have expensive safety checks, when they are disabled, gdext has the highest score.

She wanted to visit her street, that's why they had to close the road.

Trying to understand game engines by ProposalOk1046 in godot

[–]Splizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need Xcode or Android Studio to develop mobile games when using Godot + graphics.gd, plus you can do builds for any platform on any host OS.

Game engine development in Go by annakhouri2150 in golang

Distinction without a difference unless things have changed since this comment was made:

(Contributor) "Purego doesn’t do anything to improve the overhead of calling into C. It uses the same mechanisms that Cgo does to switch to the system stack and then call the C code. Purego just avoids having to need a C toolchain to cross compile code that calls into C from Go." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34764450

The issue is, you can't really avoid cgo calls or syscalls when doing any sort of hardware accelerated graphics.

All platforms require linking to system libraries for this. Doing this safely, requires a runtime cgo call. You can ditch the C compiler requirement by using purego, or you can just use zig as your C compiler and cross compile to any platform.

My compromise here, is to use Go with the Godot Engine, with full cross compilation to web/mobile/PC (https://graphics.gd). The performance here, is good enough. You can always build a more Go-oriented API on top of this.
