Google has massive levers to push their own product onto users, like how they did it with Chrome. Just integrate it everywhere, have it installed by default on all Android phones, plaster Google results with adds.

I feel like natural language specs can play a role, but there should be an intermediate description layer with strict semantics. Case in point: I'm seeing much more success in LLM driven coding with Rust, because the strong type system

Yeah, that's mentioned as a small side note in the blog post - we are working on it, and will hopefully have it ready in a week or two!

Compilation with LLVM takes quite a while (the final release will show a spinner...). So please wait a bit - subsequent runs will be fast, since compiled Python will be cached.

You'll need the latest wasmer RC for proper exceptions support. We unfortunately didn't get the final release out quite in time... curl https://get.wasmer.io -sSfL | sh -s "v6.1.0-rc.5" wasmer run pyt

I definitely did have 10 running sometimes, mostly just based on copy-pasting issues from the issue tracker. Codex / Jules etc make this pretty easy. It's often not a sustainable pace with where the current tooling is at, though.

It absolutely can be, by a huge margin. You spend a few minutes generating a spec, then agents go off and do their coding, often lasting 10-30 minutes, including running and fixing lints, adding and running tests, ... Then you come back and

If the plugins are in Rust and tie into Bevy, then there probably is minimal overhead. That's one of the advantages of ECS. It's designed for efficiently adding additional layers of functionality.

The problem with multi-memory (and why it hasn't seen much usage, despite having been supported in many runtimes for years) is that basically no language supports distinct memory spaces. You have to rewrite everything to use WASM intri

So this is a "inline" Python to eBPF transpiler/compiler. Which is cool! But the description could be a bit clearer.

The tactic here is sneaking legislation through the system by bringing it up again and again, hoping for the public to eventually lose interest, or to catch a time with a lot of other drama going on so they can avoid the public attention&#x

Sure, but you can usually rely on database transactions to handle the hard part.

Nice, will have a look! I've had similar thoughts, but my concern was: if you have idempotent actions, then why not just encode them as actions in a log. Which just brings you to event sourcing, a quite well-known pattern. If you go th

There are many ways to solve each individual problem. The point is that you always have to think about merging behaviour for every piece of state.

The big problem with CRDTs IMO is that they make it incredibly easy to break application semantics. Just a basic example for a task tracker: * first update sets task cancelled_at and cancellation_reason * second update wants the task to be

We are also entering the age of "hey AI, take this repo, reimplement the same functionality". Now, no LLM is currently anywhere near doing that for ElasticSearch. But for a project with 4845 lines of Python code? (as per tokei) De

Rust async makes it quite easy to shoot yourself in the foot in multiple ways. Most users writing basic async CRUD servers won't notice, but you very much do if you write complex , highly concurrent servers. That can be a viable tradeo

Even if you don't care about building an OS: the async/await post [1] is the best resource for understanding how async actually works in Rust. Highly recommended. [1] https://os.phil-opp.com/async-await/
