> loosely typed Minor nitpick: I believe Elixir and Erlang are strongly typed languages, but for a long time they have both been dynamically typed. With v1.20, Elixir is well on it…

Debug yourself of the AI hype^. Besides config, SQL implementations have a very limited textual API surface of accepting queries. Putting whole layers of UI and agents around it is…

This is where fuzzing would be useful. We have an at-least-parity-bug-level oracle with the reference PostgreSQL implementation. Just build a generator of queries (both invalid and…

Or gosh, just read my comment! I said in somewhat gloomy places. Sometimes people are working when the 10 minutes of sunlight comes out. Often that's not enough time to get down th…

The article cites another study by Richard Weller: > Sure enough, when he exposed volunteers to the equivalent of 30 minutes of summer sunlight without sunscreen, their nitric oxid…

Elixir is not just expressive, it's highly conventional. I've found best practice code usually converges on the same idiomatic patterns, and well written codebases look very simila…

A better example are sodium ion batteries, which are about to take off in a big way https://www.catl.com/en/news/6812.html

The difference with biological brains is that the 'weights' (or synaptic action potentials) are updated with greater frequency. If one were reaching to make some kind of analogy to…

I've definitely found LLM code to be syntactically/semantically correct in one-shot pretty much all the time. It's usually the functional specification/behaviour that's found wanti…

How did you score freelance Elixir work?

OP might be referring to Jose Valim's 2023 ElixirConf talk where he's explaining why Elixir should go down the path of types. He gives a lot more nuanced take than 'types are usele…

Separate to the self-host/datacentre argument, it would be interesting to see a speed/performance/watts-per-token leaderboard between leading models. Which model is the most watt-e…

Who said anything about mockups? Design goes all the way from concept to real-world. If a designer can specify declaratively how that will look, feel, and animate, that's far bette…

And HTML/CSS/JS are far more powerful for designing than any of SwiftUI/IB on Apple, Jetpack/XML on Android, or WPF/WinUI on Windows, leaving aside that this is what designers, des…
