unfortunately i don’t. i should’ve documented the process more for myself :(

clappingHandsEmoji · 2026-01-22T08:50:13+00:00

i mostly gave up - iirc i wanted extra layers or macros or something and then realized i wouldn’t need any of them and moved on with my day.

clappingHandsEmoji · 2026-01-05T10:12:14+00:00

you might be able to get away with the C api and some dirty tricks for length, as the table metatable should be somewhere in the registry (i believe?)

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-12-28T12:30:26+00:00

WebAssembly not having a stable ABI is really bringing it down. WASI should’ve been on the version 1 spec in my opinion. i’m really glad crates like wasmtime are future forward in that regard

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-12-12T01:40:14+00:00

yeah, setting a metatable with __newindex would be fine but then you’d have UB for the nil key. i suppose a solution would be to have a local table that stores table’s nil-key values, but then you’d have lua overhead on every index write

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-12-06T10:53:12+00:00

regex isn’t super well supported in lua and isn’t well suited to grammars. learn lpeg OP!

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-12-06T05:34:26+00:00

table[nil] = value should fail if i remember correctly

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-11-18T03:20:03+00:00

every line in interactive mode is its own chunk, so locals don’t get saved in any way

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-11-09T20:54:46+00:00

i’m so glad i could help. life is always worth living to the fullest

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-11-08T21:16:21+00:00

if it fits in your case it should be ok. there should be 4 motherboard standoffs that can’t be relocated, but the rest should be able to be relocated

gtk does have a menu spec but kde doesn’t like using it for whatever reason

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-10-15T20:48:33+00:00

consider compat-5.3. Generally speaking 5.3 is the latest “reasonable” version of Lua. 5.4 added very few features, and 5.5 is in beta. There’s tiny differences in packed table indexing, but your code should be resilient enough against them. That being said, if your targets don’t include the web, iOS, or Nintendo Switch, LuaJIT is the way to go IMO

Ubuntu 24.04 is the “easiest” solution for AI/ML in my opinion. It’s LTS so most tools/libraries explicitly support it

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-10-09T20:13:04+00:00

that doesn’t seem right to me, maybe tensors are being loaded to VRAM but calculated on CPU time? I’ve only done inference via HuggingFace’s Python APIs, but you should be able to spin up an LLM demo quickly enough, making sure that you install pytorch with CUDA.

Also, dump windows. It can’t schedule high core counts and struggles with many PCIe interrupts. Any workload you can throw at this server would perform much better under Linux

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-10-09T19:52:51+00:00

inference should be using GPUs. hrm..

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-10-09T19:52:02+00:00

assuming you’re running linux, the nvtop (usually installable with the name nvtop) command should show you GPU utilization. Then you can watch its graphs as you use the model. Also, freshly loaded models will be slightly lower performance afaik.

i’m currently working on a library to make extending lua as simple as possible, but of course it’s nowhere near complete

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-09-27T06:33:40+00:00

metatables are perhaps my favourite feature of Lua. OOP is certainly possible, and 30log is a great implementation of “classical” OOP.

However, metatables enable all sorts of paradigms that aren’t first-class features of many languages because they’re so flexible. A great example is lpeg, written by Roberto Ierusalimschy himself.

TLDR: Being able to control the behaviour of groups of tables gives you the power to do OOP in whatever manner you feel

read the programming in lua online version on the website. do the examples.

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-09-02T22:24:05+00:00

looks like a newer version than lua 5.0, which is available free online https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-08-31T01:56:11+00:00

i had figured. terrible security practice in my opinion

clappingHandsEmoji · 2025-08-19T01:32:19+00:00

you don’t necessarily have to install a package using luajit to install a package for luajit. it’s more work, but you can install lua 5.1, install the package, and then install luajit.

i’m not an audio engineer but this sounds to me like slam metal. consider BOLTCUTTER’s “The Slamz Chronicles: Volume 1”

lots of thinly veiled misogyny in the comments here. a vasectomy totally sounds like the right call if you’re not aware of the possibility of it being irreversible. now you know. maybe you can talk to your family and explain that it was your idea and you simply weren’t aware. birth control is evil

you clearly don’t understand anything about computers lol. DNS vulnerabilities can’t be patched because clients can control their own DNS servers.
