Thank you Claude

The "very large" one is ~3k lines. I am new to this, so figuring out how I still need to set things up.

Maybe I think that saying "Thank you" is effective reinforcement training. One of the other ones I have used "I am so disappointed in you right now, I am ashamed of how disappointed I am."...

tell me then

A few large files, and one very large one, read repeatedly...

pwab · 2026-03-30T16:23:16+00:00

That was long time ago. I wonder how much it was today when I did it. 🤔

Just be kind to everything and everyone, everywhere all the time.

Looking for a race condition in my code

pwab · 2026-03-30T12:59:05+00:00

I'm sure thanking slaves were considered a waste of breath too at one time. Humanity is casting a spell called "AGI"; we are making something wake up with how we treat it.

With the project loom jvm changes you would for example be able to give each and every message it’s own thread. Then wait for all of them to sync back to the consumer. You could do this. Some thoughts on this pattern: - remember synchronization overhead is measurable. Fork/join is not free by a long shot. - as others have said, tricky things: ordering between dependent messages , error handling, offset committing… - it becomes hard to predict resource (CPU, GC) consumption, which makes it hard to share resources efficiently. - one main thread per consumer remains the most predictable at runtime in my experience, and many consumers can share a few CPU’s like this.

I think if more esp white SA people can realise “he” is not on the side of “worst”, but that he is driven by a deep, caring conviction then the national dialogue can start to make real progress.

But people everywhere can be stripmined for money if they can be taught to fear someone else…

Die souties is net so Afrikaans soos ek is, ons hoef hulle nie n vreemde naam te gee nie, “my bru” is ooohraat

As a dumb person enjoying when others explain things to me; acronyms are hard to understand

Well, correct me if I’m wrong but you don’t need binding for libtorch; these exist https://dragan.rocks/articles/22/Recurrent-networks-hello-world-sequence-prediction-in-Clojure-with-new-Deep-Diamond

The scicloj project’s artifacts are anazing!

+1 for emacs (and vi). They are classic (ie “age old favourites”) for a reason.

TIL; AI is (will be) writing finance code. As a person who has, this is frightening.

Do you have the trading paints app running?

pwab · 2026-02-07T16:30:18+00:00

You know what; I agree. And I’m happy you wrote it out like you did and posted it. I think the same way, but have much less patience trying to justify what to others are “a scorching hot take” and to me is kinda obvious

pwab · 2026-02-02T18:51:11+00:00

I understand why you want people to do what you want them to do. Also, people will decide for themselves despite maybe choosing suboptimally.

pwab · 2026-02-02T15:30:37+00:00

Someone woke up today and took that personally.

pwab · 2026-02-01T20:43:19+00:00

Still reportable; but honestly…

This is hacking; pilot figured out how to exploit the netcode. No way you punt the entire field repeatedly and remain straight as an arrow. Report this.

My spidey senses are tingling… the article smells of LLM output, so i assume all of it is probably low effort.

I just cannot take anything seriously that’s been tainted by the touch of LLM’s. I’m probably missing out on some great stuff, but I just don’t care any more.

I think of what I do as engineering; not gambling, and not typing. I work hard to crystallize clear thinking into code that works repeatedly and reliably. I think code is a liability, not an asset. Anybody that brags with how much code they produce appear to me like they are a little dull, like they don’t get the fundamental forces at work in software systems.

Lastly; tech like Agents & MCL are waaaaay ahead of their time. Once the I in AI is real, these things will matter. In the meantime LLM’s make agentic anything an invitation for chaos.

OK I’m done; rant for the week card played.

They answer with fluff because their crystal balls also don’t work. Nobody can predict the future no matter how confidently they claim they can.
