Week15 of recovery : went out on Saturday evening, to a Serbian (ex-Yugoslav ?) cafe, with Dutch orchestra playing Hungarian & Balkan music ; happy that I got to dog-sit there ; caught the full moon on the way there & back ; & sang sad songs while cycling & crying : Vondelpark is magical when it’s empty!

@janriemer Am I stupid or is this sync-over-async literally how 99% of software is written in every single language that supports async? 🧐

@tesla Well, because there are a lot of _nuance_ and skill when it comes to this!

Try calling `block_on` in an async context in Rust (with the tokio runtime) and see what happens.

It's not that easy and languages differ greatly in their way of implementing async (the linked post is just _one_ example)!

Techbro: My AI model has achieved superhuman intelligence

Socrates: There is nothing, for my part, that I like better than conversing with learned men, for I much desire to increase my own wisdom with the benefit of their conversation. May I ask, what is intelligence? I myself do not know, but you must, if your machine has surpassed the allotment of it given to humankind.

Me: OOOHH FUCK HIM UP, SOCRATES
