Immoral boot-licking human engineers are indistinguishable from LLMs.
Do you have sources for this claim?
I hope this was sarcasm.
Regarding the BEAM and why Gleam has a separate library for actors: [2]
> "One notable difference between Elixir and Gleam is that Elixir gets to just re-use the OTP code as-is (with some Elixir wrappers on top for convenience). Gleam concluded that the OTP is built expecting dynamic types, and that for best results in Gleam they'd need to re-implement the key primitives. That's why the example shown is an "Actor" not a GenServer - it serves the same purpose, and might even fit in a Supervision tree, but isn't actually a GenServer."
There's a brief snippet mentioning this in the Gleam OTP readme as well: [3]
> "Actors do not yet support all OTP system messages, so some of the OTP debugging APIs may not be fully functional."

SAFE SLEEP ARGUMENTS
hibernatemode supports values of 0, 3, or 25. Whether or not a hibernation image gets
written is also dependent on the values of standby and autopoweroff
For example, on desktops that support standby a hibernation image will be written after the
specified standbydelay time. To disable hibernation images completely, ensure hibernatemode
standby and autopoweroff are all set to 0.
hibernatemode = 0 by default on desktops. The system will not back memory up to persistent
storage. The system must wake from the contents of memory; the system will lose context on
power loss. This is, historically, plain old sleep.
hibernatemode = 3 by default on portables. The system will store a copy of memory to
persistent storage (the disk), and will power memory during sleep. The system will wake from
memory, unless a power loss forces it to restore from hibernate image.
hibernatemode = 25 is only settable via pmset. The system will store a copy of memory to
persistent storage (the disk), and will remove power to memory. The system will restore from
disk image. If you want "hibernation" - slower sleeps, slower wakes, and better battery
life, you should use this setting.
Please note that hibernatefile may only point to a file located on the root volume.The server is basically just my Windows gaming PC, and the client is my editor on a macOS laptop.
Most of this effort is so that I can prepare for the arrival of that mythical second half of 2026!
