Where is AI actually selling and doing well? What's a good resource for these numbers? What are the smaller scale use-cases where AI is selling well? I am generally curious, because LLMs, VLMs, generative AI, advances are proving usefu

At this point, you may as well get a powerpack for a mini and put it in one of these slings, you could have a crazy powerful machine in your "sock-et" sling thing here... When the iPhone Air was just another huge phone...but thinn

Yes, applied research has yielded the modern expert system, which is really useful to experts who know what they are doing.

Thanks for the details. Also, always appreciated Discord's engineering blog posts. Lots of interesting stories, and nice to see a company discuss using Elixir at scale.

What are you using it for? Is it part of a hybrid search system (keyword + vector)?

You are model citizen with those file moves. Totally agree with how that can be very disruptive for legibility and comprehension of changes.

`git-bisect` is legit if you have to do the history archaeological digging. Though, there is the open question of how git commit history is maintained, the squash-and-merge vs. just retain all history. With squash-and-merge you're look

Agree, better title for this post; the fact that back prop is a leaky abstraction is a reason one should understand it and know how to do the mechanics by hand to truly experience it and develop understanding and intuition. Software /

Are you able to provide more context and details? It’s always interesting to learn about system design and architecture decisions from real world examples.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I think that's a problem with bolted on functionality. Did you end up building a new version with a different language? What kind of problems did you encounter that made the solution "not great"?

> It's very natural and ergonomic in Elixir, because it's the paradigm of choice in the underlying vm. Thank you, this is the key factor -- a fundamental design decision that influences the foundation.

Correct, it's not strictly unique to this. Even Ruby has it, but Ruby does not have BEAM/OTP. Smalltalk was a fun language to work with, albeit academically.

When you consider the message passing paradigm, I can envision how that simulates neuro-chemical communication between neurons (now here being functions that do things). So there is a design for communication between functions, then there a

Elixir is pretty "nifty", and has Rails feels. I have worked on and seen its performance compared to scaled up Rails application. The BEAM / OTP is a very cool system to program on top of. I think it would be a great underlyi

Interesting. What aspects of the development workflow/cycle have the most room for improvement (i.e. is there ranking of the "height" of the "hanging fruit" throughout the process)? What sort of software tooling wou

True, from scratch, may need to be cautious regarding re-creating it having built it on your employer's time and machinery/property, check your employment contract. Still very cool that you built this!

Do you have paying customers? Putting money into customer acquisition and retention is where a lot of money can go versus R&D.

Is there a visualization possible of this pattern? For some reason this made me think of the Ulam Spiral -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral .
