$ /usr/bin/time -v elixir --erl "-P 10000000" main.exs 1000000
08:42:56.594 [error] Too many processes
** (SystemLimitError) a system limit has been reached
“This limit can be adjusted with the `+P` flag when starting the BEAM… To adjust the limit, you could start the Elixir application using a command like the following:
elixir --erl "+P 1000000"
“If you are getting this error not because of the BEAM limit, but rather because of your operating system limit (like the limit on the number of open files or the number of child processes), you will need to look into how to increase these limits on your specific operating system.”
Yes, again ChatGPT was better than just random search. If writing this blog post teaches me something, then it teaches me to use ChatGPT more not less ;)
BTW, I fixed the 1M benchmark and Elixir is included now.
I’m glad you saw the irony in my reply. I was a little worried it would come off acerbic, like “since you use ChatGPT, you only deserve ChatGPT”. The real intent was double-edged, of course - to demonstrate that ChatGPT isn’t just dumb-codemonkey-as-a-service, it can also quite easily solve a lot of the problems it is purported to create. You have been handling mean comments here (including my own mean comments) with grace, so I took the risk.
