alt Hacker NewsOriginally I thought that Gas Town was some form of high level satire like GOODY-2 but it seems that some of you people have actually lost the plot.
Ralph loops are also stupid because they don't make use of kv cache properly.

Problem:
Every gt command runs bd version to verify the minimum beads version requirement. Under high concurrency (17+ agent sessions), this check times out and blocks gt commands from running.
Impact:
With 17+ concurrent sessions each running gt commands:
- Each gt command spawns bd version
- Each bd version spawns 5-7 git processes
- This creates 85-120+ git processes competing for resources
- The 2-second timeout in gt is exceeded
- gt commands fail with "bd version check timed out"

This is a cost/resources thing. If it's more effective and the resources are available, it's completely fine.
I think it is satire, and pretty obvious one at that; is anybody taking it for real?
