At the end I had nothing to do with it and I'm thankful to @hayleigh.dev for organizing but I will still claim credit for getting the ball rolling 😌 Anyways see you there!

london gleamlins, come join us on the 18th of august for a meetup! @renatillas.dev will be talking to us about event sourcing, and i'll of course be preaching the good word about #atproto and maybe there'll be a little surprise launch too 🤭 luma.com/vacn20ag

By 2022 Google Translate had been using transformer models for several years. By 2014 Facebook was using deep convolutional neural nets (DeepFave) for face detection. Literally the things you think were “before LLMs” are either basically indistinguishable from LLMs or their direct predecessors.

Right but I had contractors using these translation apps with me in 2022 before they were made of large models. Facebook was auto-tagging people in photos a decade ago (contrary to the QT suggesting computer vision is new). Lots of “AI” things that are not based on large models are def useful.

got a new thermal receipt printer? don't know what to do with it? try printing a live feed of the atproto firehose! you certainly won't regret printing a live feed of the atproto firehose

are there any gleam sympthatic orgs in london that might donate some space for a meetup next month 👀 what if we made it atproto flavoured 👁️👄👁️

So everyone should go star the compiler so it gets first place, but then It would be really cool if one of my projects could be 4th to make it entirely Gleam 🥹👉👈 I made the default Gleam array implementation! tangled.org/becca.monste... and a really cool task pool too! tangled.org/becca.monste...

a fast, general-purpose, persistent array structure for Gleam.

You should all star this, mostly because I think it would be funny if the trending section was entirely Gleam projects

The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍
