I agree. You understand why I wrote this post. It's what I wanted to read 3 weeks ago. We're told "Use Diagnostics like the json stdlib module!" but then you realize the json module is way too simplistic for a complicate

It's worth every effort to avoid situations where a function creates extra clean up responsibilities to the caller only on error conditions. If I really needed a large error payload, too big to fit on the stack, I'd probably want

Oh thanks a bunch. That’s confusing. Removed that.

This is just a "complex real world app code" extension of the stdlib Diagnostics pattern. % rg Diagnostics zig/lib/std | wc -l 165 The zig stdlib kind of has it easy because, for example, the json module can hav

What more do you want than what's covered in the post? To me, this post is proof zig doesn't need "proper support". You can already have extremely ergonomic error payloads with existing language features. Earlier version

It's just stored as a [256]u8 in the struct. // sqlite.zig pub const ErrorPayload = struct { message: [256]u8, pub fn init(db: *c.sqlite3) @This() { var self = std.mem.zeroes(@This());

The US regime allows its citizens to criticize politicians. That doesn't mean you are free to criticize those in power.

There's a relevant open issue[1] here about stack memory optimization. It would be nice to be able to use a [500]u8 in a block and another [500]u8 in another block, and have that only contribute 500 bytes to the stack frame, but Zig ca

Your math point is proven wrong, with math. The argument goes like this: 1. AI is a computer program. 2. Some math is not solvable with any computer program. 3. Therefore, there are limits to what AI can do with math. I recommend you to rea

This is kind of the root of the issue. Humans are mystical beings with invisible sensibilities. Many of our thoughts come from a spiritual plane, not from our own brains, and we are all connected in ways most of us don't fully understa

It’s literally not possible. It has nothing to do with intelligence. A perfectly intelligent AI still can’t read minds. 1000 people give the same prompt and want 1000 different things. Of course it will need supervision and intervention. We

It’s a sandbox. If your model generates and runs a script for each email in your inbox and has access to sensitive information, you want to make sure it can’t communicate externally.

This is just sleight of hand. In this model the spec/scenarios are the code. These are curated and managed by humans just like code. They say "non interactive". But of course their work is interactive. AI agents take a few mi

This is incorrect. The set paradox it’s analogous to is the inability to make the set of all ordinals. Russel’s paradox is the inability to make the set of all sets.

Hey, sorry about that. I find your site very charming. Yeah it takes a few seconds to understand, but that's completely fine imo. You are excused if the site misleads anybody, just because you published "Estimated completion date:

Wow, the way this data is presented is hilarious. Log scale: Less than 3% done, but it looks like over 50%. Estimated completion date: 10 March 2195 It would be less funny if they used an exponential model for the completion date to match t

Idk. Did you see the "Buffer reuse" section of this blog post? [1] Kudos to that guy for solving the puzzle, but I really don't want to use a special trick to get the compiler to let me reuse a buffer in a for loop. [1]: htt

MapReduce is from a world with slow HDDs, expensive ram, expensive enterprise class servers, fast network. In that case to get best performance, you’d have to shard your data across a cluster and use mapreduce. Even in the authors 2014 SSDs

As an aside, I wonder how to account for the information content embedded in the hardware itself. A Turing Machine compressor program would likely have more bytes than the amd64 binary. So how to evaluate KolmogorovComplexity(amd64)? The la
