Drat, I was hoping this article would be about outlawing Kubernetes.

The invisible guardrails are a test run for the invisible enshittification. Just wait til they start dialing down ability to better absorb peak demand or simply to have more profit…

IIRC, this is the same lab who created Glaze.

Do you think this will be a trend for larger companies as well? The decadal move to all-cloud-all-the-time killed off in-house hardware teams while the C-suite chased their OpEx dr…

My observation is that the true believers really don't want to think of models as an inert pile of weights. There's some mysticism attached to imagining it's the ship's computer fr…

100% the same problem here. I have to show people extremely zoomed-in screenshots of how $VENDOR default monospaced fonts get rendered compared to Terminus at the correct size in o…

Bellringing, specifically change ringing. It’s a type of church bell ringing that is rather algorithmic in nature. Tends to attract mathy types. Religion not required or expected! …

> Their only original idea was Metaverse surely you must be joking.

> too expensive for our internal server needs; not the right fit for our datacenter partners/customers You and me both. They're doing neat stuff, but I wonder how many other potent…

bcantrill gave a great talk many years ago about compute-data locality. would be nice to know if those ideas panned out for some customers, but it seems the world has by-and-large …

Random assortment of projects as time allows with the $JOB. - Prototyping a cute little SSH-based sorta-BBS, inspired by the Spring '83 protocol, but terminal-centric rather than w…

CephFS implements a (fully?) POSIX filesystem while it seems that TernFS makes tradeoffs by losing permissions and mutability for further scale. Their docs mention they have a cust…

Does their training corpus respect copyrights or do you have to follow their opt out procedure to keep them from consuming your data? Assuming it’s the latter, it’s open-er but sti…

I feel that the article draws a false equivalence between skepticism and doomsaying. If anything, thinking AI is as dangerous as a nuclear weapon signals a true believer.

just wait for the AI summary

Not to pick on you, but there are always posts like this in every Erlang thread. One is not strictly superior to the other, and the BEAM community benefits from the variety IMO.

I wouldn't mind the Erlang-dominated front page coming back :)

Containerization is amazingly great for scientific computing. I don’t ever want to go back to doing the make && make install dance and praying I’ve got my dependency ducks in a row…

This sounds super cool! Any public code you can share?

Broadly: Still forging ahead building a game server framework in Erlang. I've shifted my attention away from Godot integration (which AFAIK is still working) and toward LÖVE and Lu…

How does this compare to something like BYOND? I realize it’s dated now but conceptually there are some similarities.

My understanding is that Luerl can remove various modules from being used, like preventing use of the IO library for instance. I would say BEAM itself is not particularly sandboxed…

“My job safe from obsolescence by new technology”, says man directly threatened by new technology

Godot has a nice netcode story with ENet, WebSocket and WebRTC integration. If you just want a off-the-shelf product instead of bespoke Erlangy stuff, I think there are a lot of go…
