New eager loading feature, which is configurable per site in Beacon. if cache is cold on first hit it kicks off the cache warming job then will show this temp page until the site is available. Stampeding herds are properly managed as well.

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...

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…

I've never liked `with` in Elixir. So Zap is going to have a "catch basin" operator that will jump to when anywhere in the pipe returns {:error, _value}

I originally was just going to spike out a proof of concept language in Zap to show how Cog's tools can make building hard things easy with AI coding... but I'm kind of considering pursuing it as a legit language. Just not sure if people would accept an agentically coded lang.

One of the goals of Zap using Zig's compiler was to target WASM. Something that I chased for years with Elixir is now just a compiler flag with Zap.

For those curious, I was only able to build Zap so quickly because of Cog. I'll be releasing the cli next week for general use but Cog's tools have cut down agentic coding time by probably an order of magnitude.

I have what may turn out to be a bad idea, but I might spike it out. An Elixir-like strongly type syntax that lowers to Zig. Just FP, no processes, actors, VM, or other BEAM stuff.

This is a large project I'm bootstrapping with

but still turning out to be more expensive than I would like. This is using Sonnet 4.6 too. I need to find a cheaper model with good reasoning and inference speed.

Chanting "tax the Jews" is blatant antisemitism. I condemn it unequivocally. Antisemitism is rising in our communities. One father shared that his 13 year old daughter did not want to display the menorah in the window of their house. We must speak out against this bigotry.

We also don't need carpetbaggers who move to a district just to run without any connection to the local community. This is exactly the type of career-politician-in-waiting that has ruined the Democratic Party that we need to rid ourselves of.

I've started benchmarking Cog to actual code exploration (CE). CE is outpacing Cog in the answer category but at a significantly higher cost. And I am certain I can continue to close that gap over the next few weeks.

I need some people to test a new product I've been building, it's for long-term memory. Ideally you're: - using Claude Code - working on something from moderate to high complexity - favor long-running sessions (this includes but not limited to Ralph loop)

Everything about the post 9/11 security state has been weaponized to be culture war rather than serious institutions. It’s all racism, it’s all cowardice, it’s all performative. Nobody in an ice uniform or dhs has a mission or apparently ethics- it’s just lulz.
