The point isn't about writing it but seeing difference and making probably suboptimal choice. I mentioned in other comment that I reviewed it extensively. It's not a big project so outside of a few spicy bits it's mostly a we

I assure you Sir/Madam no LLMs were harmed in this post. Grammar would've been much better :)

It can be written in Golang but interaction libraries are very limited and with sharp edges. There's Google's genkit, charmbracelet's fantasy and LangChainGo. Each has ugly hacks and omissions. Then handling slice streaming o

Though when we talk about JSON (5 bytes - 40 bits) the processing throughput is 20Gbps (this algorithm) vs 5Gbps (previous implementation, 4x slower). I doubt CPU cycles are problem in that case.

I wonder if this can be categorized as galactic algorithm. I can't imagine systems where bulk of processing goes into integer to decimal string conversion but maybe there are such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal

It reminds me of an old joke: Radio Yerevan: A listener asks: "Is it true that in Moscow, on Red Square, they are giving away cars?" Our answer: "Yes, it is true. Except it isn't in Moscow, but in Leningrad. And it isn&#

My last use case: Testing Scenario Generator. I have a application that has actions and actions can happen pretty much in any order. By default all scenarios should be an error except for ones that are in the boundary of logical steps, e.g.

Stupid thought. Make alias called sdo that echoes sudo path and hash every time you use it to stderr. That's security by obscurity though.

That's why you need to separate work from actual input. It's not about trying again but about making sure you get consistent state. Imagine request for payment. You made one and timeouted. Why did it timeout? Your network or payme
