<p>One thing to mention is that stack structure or multiple stacks on the heap are very fast garbage collection, much faster than any search-mark-sweap can be.<p>Also worth to mention that in stack fast "deallocation" memory (usually) is not zeroed or cleared so it is very internal architecture...</p>

<p>Also taking DJB advice - "do not parse" - <i>looks</i> to be more relevant then ever before :) That directory of (mainly) one-line configuration files is really nice to have...<p>And "config files written in X lang" should seriously and officially be considered as bad-bad thing, worse then XML :)<p>And languages that have eval or functions re-definitions available at runtime should be considered only in jokes in production environment. And products that use them should be send in outer space direction, just like Voyager ;)<p>Actually, Turing complete languages are way too much in use. We do not need so much of their powers, especially after deployment.</p>

<p>Total lack of understanding what is happening.<p>There is difference between mandatory one implementation and <i>set</i> of funcionalities. Systemd is monolit with visible parts that provide somewhat modern
funcionalities in 'nix world.<p>And there is no serious developers in 'distro' space, except RedHat. And, really, there is no such thing RedHat we have in old Linux days - it was devoured and we just have a label doing corporate propaganda.<p>So when few modern init systems were hatching RH dropped systemd and, as RH is main force in distros development, it gained dominance.<p>And since then thing are getting worse.<p>Eg. cgroups ? systemd first used them and so much hype happened. But is it deserved hype ? No! They implemented cgroups v1 when cgroups v2 was available. And cgroups v2 usage was blocked for <i>years</i>. In systemd too.<p>Do not make mistake of not seeing difference between good and modern functionalities and one codebase with funding that block real development.<p>Edit: formatting*</p>

<p>Just one thing: why that resolver work *need to be" in systemd package ? Why we can't have few implementations, as it always have been, that do different jobs, with overlapping funcionalities ? Why we ever need some gigantic codebase guarded by corporations that we can't easily replace ? Codebase that is uncooperative with other implemantations. And developers.<p>And moust importantly: why they make everything more stupid and windows-like trash ?<p>And I assure you: what you described as "easy" is not true. I is just few basic usecases they baked in. And when you neeed something a bit more specific in some direction you are not allowed to have that.<p>Systemd is a trash, atm.</p>

Hmm, but what is usecase except recursive function calling ?<p>- ok, I read that articele<p>- what ? it's just a first part ??<p>- async thingies<p>- "state machines looks like that"<p>- aha, always wanted to konw that, thank you Microsoft! Wait, what?? What I just said ?? That really happened?<p>- scroll, then scroll more some asm code, maybe I read it later<p>- something interesting, don't remeber now<p>- next morning coffee time: O, I have some more to read, maybe I can learn something more ?<p>- ok, work time but probably will finish reading later today<p>So it is realy nice article.

<p>Hi author :)  Must say that 8k+ lines is a little bit annoying and uneasy to handle... But also bribgs a lot of hope and happiness :)<p>To the point:<p>- llm'ed or not, dasn't matter, just quality matter<p>- raid ? I know nothing about that but looks like pure hardware raid (if that exists), no "raid layers" at all and fs raid aware are three different animals.
But adding something about raids will complicate things before "production ready" stability. Which, of course, we want ASAP ;)<p>- 8k+ seems easy to manage and bend so maybe key-value only partitions ?<p>- obviously wishlist is easy to construct (key-value storage, encryption, power off resistance, mail reading ;) ) so maybe some plugin system or at least guidelines for peoples before we will have repos of patches DWM-style ? :)<p>- that 5 second is clearly stated but a bit strange limit and obviously peoples will want to do something with that<p>- man give us producion readiness before you will be puched by some corporation, swamped with work and hidden from daylight, pls ? Pleas do not fall into Compiz trap...<p>- thank you :)</p>

<p>Dudes, pleas...<p>Stop obsesing with 2-4% diference in gluten! English flour, Americans flour - just make dough denser and it will keep shape longer before going flat.<p>Especially if you bake in baking pan! In pan anything keeps bread (actually pan :> ) shape! Corn, buckwheat, rice, whatever.<p>Without pan "week gluten" make bread flat. But on the other hand week gluten flour is better for cakes makers.<p>Without gluten and pan you can make pancakes-like bread what still is called bread in some current but ancient traditions.<p>O, and "wheat only bread" started to be so popular (as in: be only one thing called bread) only when yeasts has been discovered and only in West Europe / North America culture. Even Germany still is using a lot of rye and Mexico is using a lot of corn...<p>And to article subject: yea, mixing harder adds a lot of air into dough and when heated gas expands so bread "grows"... And, especially in pan, it looks
"normal"... But intensive mixing also kills yeasts that create CO^2 in dough
so it kills bread growth... So, yeah, you realy need that gluten so
air is trapped in the dough :)<p>Also short bread growth time kills taste... But you can faster push whatever-you-are-making to customers!<p>And that suposedly "american" "sponge-and-dough" is just ancient and <i>global</i> way of making bread...</p>

<p>There is nothing wrong with <i>stories</i> that purpose is to give you wisdom. Try to study few theological comments on eg. Genesis book from eg. "desert fathers" :)<p>In Bible we have stories, songs, history (that cruel part), teachings, prophecies and straight jurnalists like researched relations of Someone life and words.<p>Think about that: Church know that some stories are older myths and did not removed them from official books. Why ? Becouse religion is much serious thing that some industrialized system. At least for Christians. And "history" can only help to true seekers - why censor the truth, what someone did ? Learn in what "context" things was done and how it looks on others doings background and what was later and what you can learn from all of that. But someone with bad intensions can't be bothered to think much...<p>And about shape-shifting :) a) if omnipotent God exists than He can do miraculous things, right ? b) that magical creatures are usually described in books that are stories or prophecies not historical one. In case of doubt look a) ;)<p>Anyway: there is _insane_ amount of wisdom in Christianity teachings, even for atheists.<p>And if God is True then finally everything He done will be explained as good and just - logic :) There is 'if' there because faith is important. IMO without faith there is no free will - humans are not like angels that just know and decide only once...</p>

<p>Yes that easy but "internet located things" are still second class things - paper and disks holds strong.<p>On the other hand just yesterday a think hit me: Interned is still an infant:<p>- we still worry about disk space accessible via inet and "clouds" do that for us and that is pain and costs way too much. And clouds depends heavilly on US-west - is that AWS a single thread app ? ;)<p>- we worry about transfer. Actually we <i>do not have</i> a way to transfer comfortable things from our homes to vacation location. Because it costs too much. We do not have home pages just because transfer prices (and some security on the top) - FB is a home page and people even do not know what "page" is anymore... Pipe companies could send so much more but they are simple lack imagination and are biggest blocker for - they literally sabotage their own business.<p>- security done by/for grandma of things grandma setup on inet is non existent. Why ? No need to be like that. Ok, a bit a wish but still users securely putting things on internet is almost non existent.<p>Just compare to "asphalt ropes" on the ground and you will see what Internet can be :)<p>And agents ? Just another computation on someones computer - someone paid for all of it. And OpenAI is just a face of that idiocy, for some unknown reason.</p>

<p>Mr Mathematicians, all that won't work well for mathematics. After all that not-I models gives good results.<p>So long term approach is: discover all theorems that are easy for llm's and take over with harder things where langage tricks do not work.<p>Or: ack that llms are better at math and keep rechecking results. And even that will result of trees of potential research that no one prompted (yet) for. becouse understanding is a key concept in science. of course there will be brute-force attempts to automatically search new results in related language tricks. Like in "protein folding" "research" - blindly looking for something and checking what's random folds folded. But that is not true edge science anymore.<p>Anyway, local llms are just tools, use it when convenient. I will repeat: local llms.<p>And than all what was proposed in article can be used to judge scientific output and scientists. But, yeah, do not freely donate and do not allow to steal your or others work.<p>LOCAL llms.</p>

<p>Einstein - definitive end of XIX ilusion and way of thinking that "We know everything. We are the lords of things, we own all of it! And other peoples too! We can engineer societes as we like it!". With strict oposition to old and humbler "God" or natural ways. With aggresive "we" that do not pay attention to rights of other we's.<p>And, IMO, Einstein, Godel and more discoveries should be reason to not continue communism stupidity. Especially to not continue - after year 1905 - social engineering plans of "world-wide GENOCIDE until everybody is good citizen".<p>Of course I'm talking about best-wanting-for-humans but still naive communism and not about a way to destabilize other countries by any means necessary. Such move did almost insta-karma effect on Germany: sponsoring commies in Russia resulted in nazi being sponsored in Germany...<p>Don't think someone want to deny societes, philosophers and politicians are drived by overall science view on reality. And what else could drive atheistic minds ? Not judging here, logic is everyones duty.<p>Also my "too bad politicians..." was obviously expression of a wish. Not only science influents politicians. But discovered facts (counterarguments in this case) about reality could be taken for consideration, right ?</p>
