She ducked off for a bit. There were more important things to address. It is our absolute pleasure to welcome Quinn Wilton back. Last I handed her a mic she threw DIY dental care to people. I think this one is about Elixir... www.goatmire.com/talk/a-hundr... #elixirlang #goatmire

A Hundred Eyes by Quinn Wilton

"Let it crash" is the BEAM's answer to failure: processes crash, supervisors restart them, and the system recovers. That confidence is earned, but some bugs hide behind it. They live in the gaps…

ElixirConf EU in Malaga. Anyone know the Elixir community there? I like to connect locally and maybe we can do some of those nice satellite events. But that hinges on some local company, hackerspace or similar being game to host. Feel free to reach out, I'm everywhere. #elixirlang

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

I might be taking shorts in the dark asking here but would anyone attending Code BEAM Europe be up for some bouldering in Berlin? I'm not gonna be attending the conference, as I'm only arriving Thursday around 3pm but I'll be in the city till Sunday morning :)

Radiology is a specialty that was long promised to be automated via ML, but that still persists today. There are fascinating studies on AI/human joint performance around it. I appreciate this article, and the distinction between benchmarks settings and the more situated nature of real work.

AI radiology today is powerful, but it consists of many narrow islands of automation that have failed to replace radiologists' time. This isn't the full picture. Read more in the @worksinprogress.bsky.social piece: worksinprogress.co/issue/the-a...

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context* Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

I’m starting to look around for my next role! I'm a deeply technical engineer, with over a decade of professional experience in domains from cyber security to distributed systems and decentralized tech. My personal projects have spanned embedded systems to biohacking—I love learning new things.

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey! We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

Programming, scripting, and markup languages

Rust is yet again the most admired programming language (72%), followed by Gleam (70%), Elixir (66%) and Zig (64%). Gleam is a new addition to the list, and for good reason - developers like it!
Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)
