    Exactly. OpenClaw is good, but expects the model to behave in a certain way, and I've found that the local options aren't smart enough to keep up. That being said, my gut says that…

    Really looking for a minimal assistant that works with _locally hosted models_. Are there any options?

    If this stack is heavily skewed towards numerical computations, Cinder might require a lot of tuning to be effective.

    It has some elements of WSGI, but has expanded into its own thing which supports asyncio (this happened before ASGI was a thing).

    I'd love to see lazy imports become part of the upstream at some point.

    Cinder's feature set is highly optimized for IO bound web services that run under a forked-worker model. For example: you start a main process, warm it up with a few requests, run …

    I worked on Cinder, and on the web server. Happy to answer technical questions if any :)

    I'm always surprised when patterns like this actually work. But they do!

    This article captures a lot of the rationale behind why we're building Static Python within Cinder: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder#static-python

    One minor clarification here: Cinder[1] is actually 100% compatible with C extensions (by virtue of being a fork of CPython). [1]: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder

    I've moved to Zoho mail. It's $1/month for a single user, which seems to be well worth it. The catch is, it's not possible to _send_ from Zoho without creating additional users (wh…

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by "skip" Cython compilation on dev builds? How would you then test changes to Cython code?

    Comment #27053206

    Unlike RPython, Static Python in cinder is not really a subset of Python, it can compile everything (although it will throw compile time errors if it sees mismatched types). If it …

    Here's some good documentation about v8's JIT: https://github.com/thlorenz/v8-perf/blob/master/compiler.md Note: Never worked on v8, just liked the information here.

    Yes, Static Python especially relies heavily on strict modules, since they enable us to perform module-local analysis, which enables some cool optimizations.

    There's nothing wrong with gotos in compiled code. At the end of the day, machine code is really just a bunch of gotos with other instructions in between. The reason goto is consid…

    You're talking about this as if a "calculated risk" is limited to that individual, but it's not. Someone's "calculated risk" is literally death knell for others. In this case, the …
