Very useful for supervising Claude and occasionally steering it. Now that Claude finally auto-suggests next command, it partly offsets one of the biggest obstacles of mobile phones - typing on tiny keyboard is painful.

A bit younger, and exact opposite. Probably the most excited I've ever been about the state of development!

No, it’s not literally the same thing. I’m afraid you greatly underestimate and fundamentally misunderstand Erlang processes by making such comparison.

I’m not underestimating Erlang processes. I’m saying the distinction you’re drawing is largely semantic and policy-level, not a fundamentally different concurrency mechanism.

Erlang processes, goroutines, and async tasks are all cooperatively scheduled user-space execution units multiplexed over OS threads. That is the same underlying concurrency primitive. There is no new physics here.

Erlang’s real contribution is that it forbids shared memory, bakes message passing, supervision, and restart semantics into the runtime, and forces a particular design discipline. That’s a design rule, not a different execution model.

You can approximate Erlang’s semantics on top of async/await or goroutines; you cannot approximate preemptive shared-memory threads on top of Erlang. That asymmetry tells you where the real difference lies.

Treating policy and guarantees as if they were a different kind of concurrency entirely is what causes people to mystify Erlang instead of understanding why its constraints work.

It sounds to me like an exercise in wordplay within very broad definitions. My initial reaction was towards the claim "It's literally the same thing as async await in python and nodejs" which is only true in such case.

Yeah, I mean, I'm basically accusing YOU of word play. The colloquial meaning is broad, you're just being pedantic.

Exactly. Basically their thought are invalidated often quicker than they hit the publish button.

Come on, this shows fundamental lack of understanding and experience on your side.

The OP’s example of AI writing 500 LOC, then deleting 400, and saying it didn’t… Last time I saw something like that was at least a year ago, or maybe form some weaker models. It seems to me the problem with articles like this is while they sometimes are true at the moment, they’re usually invalidated within weeks.

I am not into conspiracy theories, but I find it very unlikely that our governments can’t read all our messages across platforms.

You can organize things. It's surprisingly easy. You just put up a FB event.

When I was younger and moved to a new (foreign) city, The first thing I did was to create a "picnic" for people coming from my country. No agenda, no nothing, let's just hang out and have some wine, cheese and chat while sitting on the grass. You'd be surprised how successful this was, and some of them keep running regularly without me for over a decade now.

Funny because here's my solution: Step 1: Delete FB account.

Isn't the suggested 'path forward' basically a description of Elixir/Erlang BEAM?

You make it sound like it was involuntary for some reason? Twitter was more of a suicide than anything.

For all that it's worth, from the outside it looks to have undergone a real, notable improvement. The feeling is exacerbated by the dumpster fire at bluesky insisting that it was the worst thing ever and because after the fact, about every default subreddit (which already were in a bad state) are now terminal with politics brainrot.

Twitter was a dumpster fire of hateful leftist echo chamber activism. X is much better and way more balanced.

. . . toward what?

CSAM and revenge porn, apparently

Elon Musk is a walking talking advertisement for the dangers of social media rotting your brain. But now I'd like to talk to you about white genocide in South Africa ...
