6️⃣ Conclusion
- Futures are lazy state machines
- Async provides concurrency, not necessarily parallelism
- Cooperative multitasking: tasks yield at .await points only
- Send = safe to move between threads
- Sync = safe to share references btwn threads
- Use async for I/O-bound, threads for CPU-bound
- Futures are lazy state machines
- Async provides concurrency, not necessarily parallelism
- Cooperative multitasking: tasks yield at .await points only
- Send = safe to move between threads
- Sync = safe to share references btwn threads
- Use async for I/O-bound, threads for CPU-bound

5️⃣ When to Use Async vs Threads
Async is perfect for I/O-bound operations where you're waiting for external resources, use async for concurrency with I/O. Use threads for CPU parallelism!

You are far too generous. Bad is beyond an understatement but I appreciate the parallelism. Two sociopaths defining a greater evil than themselves. Hoping Mr. Summers finds himself less well employed.

you end up doing a lot of big-design-up-front work (my usual modes have it lean hard on asking me questions) and you absolutely cannot trust it to design a system composed of more than one module (though it can help you do it if you know your desired state), but the parallelism is pretty powerful

It's actually really complicated to measure because of how advanced CPUs have gotten. Prefetching, caching, dependencies, parallelism, and the non-linear nature of some math make it really hard to nail down the precise nanoseconds.
You still wanna avoid SQRT() if you can, but a few won't hurt. ;)

The rewards of organizing a project following a consistent pattern and rules...scale and parallelism 🎉🤘😎
I've now reached the "six coding agents in six terminal windows at once" phase of parallel agent delirium

Just shocked at how little these circuits care for GPUs. The 6 cell cortical stack does have some nasty parallelism which is N^2 for the lateral inhibition, so GPU is most useful there, but other than that, SIMD is kicking proverbial ass on dis. Quite happy to see this.

Ditch your (mut)ex, you deserve better
Mutexes are unreliable tools, let's explore better alternatives.

Excited for today's PhD defense by Swapna Subramanian, from my lab. She'll talking about yeast gene interaction networks effects on:
* the strength of selection and local adaptation in wild yeast
* repeatability (parallelism) in experimental evolution in the lab
* yeast community composition
* the strength of selection and local adaptation in wild yeast
* repeatability (parallelism) in experimental evolution in the lab
* yeast community composition

I feel like as the ecosystem / project continues to evolve "parallelism by default" smells a lot like Haskell's "laziness by default" - EG, something users understand all programs must consider in their design as opposed to a value judgement about the virtues thereof.

Unless you wrap that all up into "structure"

they like to give parts of his role to megumi (and don't see megumi properly lol), they ignore his connection with gojo, his parallelism with suguru (... his interview at the school... both swallow curses...) and what it says about suguru, the philosophical confrontation with sukuna

Cool parallelism: Scotland also hosts Cruachan Power Station, a 440MW pumped hydro "hollow mountain" style plant. It is the reservoir for the UK system, famously emptied every AM when kettles and toasters are turned on. Fantastic to read that a new tech is expanding storage: from water to chems.

my little ambitious personal project requires a lot of concurrency and parallelism. I went into this project like yeah I know about that. I know about threads. I know about semaphores. immediately wrote a deadlock that took me forever to debug
