#54Whats curious to me here is that the github repo linked to in the article seems to exactly recreate the "operating system" that is called an "opinion in the wrong layer". Perhaps I am misunderstanding this, but after looking at the code what exactly are we achieving here over other frameworks? The repo is obviously very new (and the author certainly seems busy), so perhaps a better question is what do we aim to achie…
But seriously, I just wanted to have an easy way to parallelize my projects without a bunch of slow, bloated, boilerplate ridden frameworks, and I'm having fun building it. And I must not be the only to have had this desire considering there's way more than one solution to this problem out there already, so f*k it.

#57cloudpickle serializes code without signatures; which is an RCE vuln. It is much safer to distribute signed code in signed packages out of band and send only non-executable data in messages. It is more safe to store distributed messages in a page with the NX bit flipped. A compromise of any client in this system results in DOS and arbitrary RCE; but that's an issue with most distributed task worker systems. To take a…
I'm running this in a trusted environment, I'm not so ambitious as to try to make this some sort of whacky trustless distributed Python runtime. Just a fun project that's been marinating for a while, and now I have an army of clankers to do the dirty work of documenting and testing it.
Agent isolation with WASM and now wasmtime-mte . Opcode costs with eWASM or similar?

I wonder if an LLM generated article would get the title to use proper English, though: "What if Python were natively distributable?". It's possible LLMs pick up improper English, of course, since proper is some measure of what used to be a norm, but may presently be perceived as outdated.
Is it possible it's both?
Speakers of English in the Americas make this same substitution, which sounds like a mistake to those who speak in the version of English taught in schools. They will say "i seen that" rather than "i saw that", for example, just as would happen in Russian.

evidently what becomes standard gradually changes. i believe you can see this in construction of the past tense (perfect tense) of verbs in Polish/etc vs Russian, where Russian just uses the grammatical past participle as if it were the simple past tense. Speakers of English in the Americas make this same substitution, which sounds like a mistake to those who speak in the version of English taught in schools. They wi…
