Daniel Schmachtenberger has spoken at length about the ‘generator functions’ of existential risk, in essence the deeper driving causes.
Definition - generator function of existential risk - the deeper driving cause of existential risk - two examples of deep causes - rivalrous dynamics - complicated systems consuming their complex substrate
Claim - Alexander Beiner claims that - the generator function of these generator functions is physicalism
co(function* () { var result = yield Promise.resolve(true); return result;}).then(function (value) { console.log(value);}, function (err) { console.error(err.stack);});
While custom iterators are a useful tool, their creation requires careful programming due to the need to explicitly maintain their internal state. Generator functions provide a powerful alternative: they allow you to define an iterative algorithm by writing a single function whose execution is not continuous. Generator functions are written using the function* syntax.
function* enumerate(iterable) { let i = 0; for (const x of iterable) { yield [i, x]; i++; } } for (const [i, obj] of enumerate(myArray)) { console.log(i, obj); }
