It has been [0] days since I recompiled Rust for a new target

cross compiling from macOS to any other architecture is such a pain.

Now I'm sat here waiting for my riscv musl toolchain to compile (or error after 20 mins) inside a container wondering where the day went

If individual functions tried to masquerade as microservices, with a bunch of surrounding boilerplate (and DX warts) due to the unavoidable nature of distributed systems

Extremely impressed with the new system prompt for Claude causing it to think more. It's even catching its own mistakes:

"But no... this still has the same problem!"

A language where everything (incl. malloc) is async by default and you instead explicitly mark sync / blocking functions as such.

Does this exist?

Warp is so nice and I probably use 10% of the features

Building Thread-safe Async Primitives in 150 lines of Rust | Amit's Blog

Something so interesting about how many concepts can fit into so few lines of code

Was there any single reason why you went one way instead of the other?

Yeah figured as much. There’s definitely an unoriginality problem, and if that’s how it works under the hood, I’m not too surprised.

Haven’t heard of the one you linked but not surprised that more than one company is doing this.

Suno Suno is building a future where anyone can make great music.

Looking at Suno AI (suno.ai)

Many of the songs generated with their v4 model are genuinely good, although not totally original/creative.

With some refinements to vocals (+more controls for creators), it looks they're genuinely democratizing music.

Stunning, really.

Same experience, but too many good-looking things coming out in the near(ish) future to tip me over.

I’m more inclined to blame my network connection though πŸ˜…

β€œA ledger DB” undersells the fact that they’ve basically created a β€œbug-free guarantee”. Powerful stuff
