You can, you can switch it off by declaring a normal non-async function. It's almost as if there's two fundamentally different types of functions that people might want to declare, necessitating two function colors. Go is a langua

People still do drugs but they do it behind closed doors because otherwise they would be immediately caught and sent to prison for a long time. Because drug use is forced into private spaces, the rest of society is able to maintain strong c

I would rather the government outright bans things rather than pseudo-banning them via the back door via taxes. At least then they have to expend an appropriate amount of political capital, and there is a proper amount of debate over it. We

A model should as closely as possible represent what it is (a table in a DBMS), not what it wants to be (the thing that the table is representing). Otherwise you have two models, the model in your web framework and the model in your DBMS.

Why is the path a string and not an array? That means you have to have some way to escape / in keys, and also you need to parse the path string. Parser in parser syndrome. Or otherwise it can't handle arbitrary JSON documents.

If you allow arbitrary values, what's the difference between a record and a frozen object? I thought that the whole point is to have guaranteed deep immutability, which you can't have if it's got arbitrary objects in it.

That depends on when Meta stops. The longer Meta keeps releasing free models, the more capabilities are made permanently unprofitable. For example, Llama 3.1 is already good enough for translation or as a writing assistant. If Meta stopped
