started using Freeform on iPad, a great canvas/whiteboard app that I didnt know apple made

It's neat to see them encourage developers to add ARIA tags to pages though, an "agent" can be thought of as effectively another form of assistive technology

We need more of this type of sarcastic commentary replacement.ai

Great resource for learning about Effect TS github.com/PaulJPhilp/E...

The newish claude code behavior of creating multiple docs files seems reasonable, but the growing problem is stale, outdated content with tmi

in ”age of ai”, it’s disturbing to read about how there wasn’t nearly enough data to train gpt-3, so tons of low quality, illegal, and psychologically harmful content was used and the model later rlh-tuned using cheap, desperate foreign workers, just like FB did earlier for content moderation

Wow, I'm impressed with @zitadel.com as a comprehensive self-hosted auth service. I'm setting it up with tanstack and better-auth, but I reckon it could be used with Phoenix via an auth lib over oidc

💜 @elixir-lang.org v1.19 is the first release with OpenChain certification — bringing more transparency and trust to the BEAM ecosystem. Big thanks to @maennchen.dev and our sponsor Herrmann Ultraschall for making this milestone possible! 👏 🔗 elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/02... #Elixilang

Building a concept gadgetbot rental service using tanstack start, effect, and some ddd. It won’t be easy to wire up like Ash+Phoenix, but im interested in the architecture of effect workflows and playing with shadcn

In a NotebookLM summary of this convo w/Figma www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGEn..., I agree brand UX, voice, and details will become stronger differentiators as software copycats increase, tho imo it's marketing and PR have always been user growth factors. Regarding Figma, the gen UI thing is neat but..

Charm made a terminal AI coding agent: github.com/charmbracele...

whoah, I just installed Helium browser and noticed uBlock origin installed and active by default 😀

It feels like now “AI Engineer” conf has become “PR Ted Talk” meets 2021 Nextjs conf. If Simon Willison, Jeremy Howard, and Karen Hao organized a conf, I would be excited about that bc it’s fckn real and sincere

Ok, so maybe you know Frozen movie songs. I like the German version of “Into the Unknown” better than the original English version youtu.be/txdgKrt-oU0?...

The parallels between elixir genservers and cloudflare durable objects are neat. Just exploring for now with a quick app

All Elixir and libary docs should be simultaneously published in markdown for agents to save on tokens and improve retrieved content. A robot doesn't need markup. Fix this #elixirlang

So elixir hex package download graphs are presumably wavy because of weekend drops. Acc to Claude, moving to a 7-day moving average would make it appear steady, like this, which isn't confusing for viewers. #elixirlang

The fact this website weuseelixir.com exists (now on HN front page) and elixir-observer.com while we're at it, shows the community and its ecosystem needs to be much better communicated by a full-time developer advocate to (collaboratively) wrangle it all in

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

How programming languages do marketing/engagement: a quick study. I researched the landscape last week and put this table together. Although attributes like memberships, donations, or newsletters may have been available, doesn't mean they were prominent or any good docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

En route to #Goatmire Elixir summit in Sweden 🇸🇪 Excited!!

Anybody else find themselves cropping their archived photos to best display details for a widescreen TV or monitor? Half of my portraits become square

Just submitted 🍀 my talk for @ash-hq.org summit: "We BEAM Together... What do the girl scouts, an Italian design brand, and Steve Jobs have in common? Explore challenges and opportunities to grow the Ash, Elixir, and BEAM community" #elixirlang

Just pledged ! Maybe you can too? Go Team BEAM 🚀

The Elixir ecosystem has really grown in the last 4 years, yet it all feels so disparate bc the solutions serve specific needs and audiences, the main website mentions nothing except the language. This is sad. It should feel like a worldwide club, advocating for entire community & projects.

Tidewave Web now supports React 🔥 #ElixirLang tidewave.ai/blog/tidewav...

The Ash deepwiki chat helped explain a concept along with doc references: deepwiki.com/ash-project/... The latest refresh was on the 17th, and apparently one can request it via email, or enable auto-refresh by placing a 'badge' in the repo readme.

Learning about Ash policies today and it's pretty dang cool to formalize resource action authorization

Started reading new book “Designing LLM Applications” which assigned reading historically important papers on ELIZA and from OpenAI to better understand the progression of NLP. It’s a little hard but so nice to be able to ask Claude questions before/after. It’s also frankly refreshing to read clear

@oban.pro Hi, I just noticed your homepage bg "cascade-landscape" image isn't page-centered anymore after 1550px width, and flushes left

Whoah, I'm just kinda learning what "logit masking" is when trying to influence agent tool selection, which one can do via state machines. Wild stuff, mostly done to minimize cache-misses.

@zachdaniel.dev Hey, I was reading about DSPy as a dsl for talking to llms and thought, "dang, this is similar in philosophy to Ash!" www.dbreunig.com/2025/06/10/l...

Despite its inherent conflict of interest, tmi, and scattered content/program design without visceral appeal, the a16z future.com project was very noteworthy for their direct access to diverse R&D sources. IMO, only an agency could credibly deliver such a publication

I have to crack up sometimes on automatic subtitles. I saw a German tech youtuber and the subs read..."you can integrate cloudy code into Wizzle studio code" lol...no shade intended, I'm trilingual and mess up word pronunciation too. Before moving to Europe, I said "gooda" instead of gouda cheese

Hey, if y'all need to upscale an image for whatever reason, I'm exclusively using this for one-offs: www.iloveimg.com/upscale-image Works great with screenshots, small text, and diagrams too

Probably the best explainer on MCP, tools, and resources: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLpS...

deepwiki.com is neat way to do "docs chat". Just looked up Phoenix and Ash

So I've been going through LangChain tutorials this week with Jupyter notebooks. The overall ecosystem (chains, agents, tracing, doc loaders, tools, embeddings, vector db) is pretty neat. Also started reading "AI engineering" by Chip Huyen. Though I'd rather be doing this in Elixir, the amount of

just installed python jupyter, and omg, this thing is ugly compared to elixir livebook. It feels like my browser opened a time-machine to 2002

Spaceballs 2 - Official Announcement Teaser (2027) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKu...

Ok, now I need a browser extension for this! Open NotebookLM, use YouTube video as source, generate briefing

Okay, this is a pretty cool pattern-matching lib for TypeScript: github.com/gvergnaud/ts...

Awesome concept: improving (intermediate) foreign language skills: converting ebooks to simplified versions. I know Swedish pretty good having lived there at 17, and this service makes it possible to practice reading comprehension: ereader-swedish.fly.dev

Great essays and web projects would be so much more likely to survive if they were hosted on GitHub Pages using stable subdomains.

I dig how Josh uses explanatory asides with an inline hidden "learn more" section. Example with container queries: www.joshwcomeau.com/css/containe... Here's the tailwind version tailwindcss.com/docs/respons...

Cool to see Pixelfed as a decentralized Insta pixelfed.org I'm not crazy about sharing photos/stories, but I love the idea of joining a "server" to participate

Just published "Easter" 🐇, a flexible modal system: mvellandi.github.io/easter/index... It's like a micro-CMS u can import as a webpage script & assign triggers to show/unlock stuff with a game controller (click 5x in top right corner) Do you remember the Konami Contra code?

Just finished reading the book, "AI is Good for You" by Eric Jang. It was philosophical while grounded in reality. For me the biggest takeaway was reconsidering intelligence while demonstrating it through a biological complexity spectrum (e-coli -> human), and

Although I’ve enjoyed meta-modernism’s contribution to the sociocultural dialectic in the last 20 years, it’s now like “grunge music” that in today’s fast-media, increasingly AI-remixed, competitive multi-narrative
