Erlang, OTP, and the BEAM offer much more than just behaviours. The VM is similar to a virtual kernel with supervisor, isolated processes, and distributed mode that treats multiple (physical or virtual) machines as a single pool of resources. OTP provides numerous useful modes, such as Mnesia (database) and atomic counters/ETS tables (for caching), among others. The runtime also supports bytecode hot-reloading, a feature used to apply patches without any system downtime. While the syntax is not very screen reader-friendly, it is digestable.

Apache Mesos[1] is the only thing that comes to my mind as a similar platform to BEAM in its ability to treat multi-machine resources as a single pool.

Over a year ago, my private consulting company decided to adopt Erlang as our backend language. After some time, we started exploring BEAM's internals to, for example, replace the TCP-based stack with QUIC and integrate some Rust patches. A truly fantastic choice for lightweight and high-throughput systems that are only failing in case of kernel panic or power loss. We are currently working on very "busy", concurrent software like a film/game production tracker and pipeline manager, and are now also preparing R&D for a private hospital management services.

No, I think you’re missing what I’m saying. I don’t even save bookmarks anymore lol.
Cool. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't overly dark in tone.

I also played the Stanley Parable recently, and that is one that has a few sections that are a touch much for the kids.
It's not really subjective because people have had the opportunity to program in the nested 'read from the inside out' style of lisp for 50 years and almost no one does it.
it's hard to build infrastructure when you have dysfunctional labor markets & your tax base is declining in real terms.
I love my Kester 40% lead solder and always use gloves when using it. Probably an overkill since I have been soldering since 90s.

The authoritarian future isn't evenly distributed. Some groups of people have been dealing with it for decades, while others are in for a surprise.
As someone who lived in multiple rich countries in Europe, let me tell you that the German healthcare system is awesome. It has a lot of problems, but it's head and shoulders above many-many other countries. You can actually get care by a qualified doctor, while this is absolutely not self-evident even in rich countries like the United Kingdom, and let's not talk about CEE countries.
> little if anything to prevent it

The prevention is literally in the Constitution! Do you think other branches of government would be deferring to the Supreme Court if it weren't spelled out that they must?
That is in fact what Musk is trying to do. The "everything app"
On the other hand, I don't think most citizens care deeply about most white-collar crimes unless they're directly impacted. If you don't own stocks, why care if the stock market crashes? Heck, it might even be fun to watch all those richies with spare money to invest turn suicidal en masse.

There's a reason why "but his 34 felonies" never had any sticking power to anyone who hasn't been part of the resistance since 2017.
Hey, can you please make your substantive points without shallow dismissals or snark? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Unfortunately you posted a few comments in this thread that have crossed that line.

If you know more than others as a professional multiplayer game developer, that's great, but in that case the thing to do is to share some of what you know, so others can learn. If you don't want to do that, that's fine, but in that case please don't post. Putdowns and swipes only degrade the discussion.
Yes. And for a non animal example, there's sea grass, which evolved from land grasses.
FWIW Adrian Hon (the writer) is easily the game reviewer that I trust the most! I am quite sensitive to false positives with games - it really sucks to spend a few hours on a game that you drop - and my false positive rate with his reviews is very low.

(I have no affiliation with this post beyond being a fan of Adrian's writing and work + haven't played Blue Prince yet, although I'm very likely to play it because of this review)
TBH mainstream media has launched these guys into stratosphere. At least in here they do get fair amount of verbal lashing.
Show HN: Useful tool designed and written by Gemini 2.5
I believe this is actually potentially useful to others, despite being written by AI! I gave Gemini the idea, but it came up with the implementation strategy, and wrote all the code (in Cursor's agent mode). The commit history contains some of the discussion we had while building it.
Shrimp are mostly tasteless though, aren't they? If you bite into a shrimp and really pay attention to the taste, you'd notice that it's not really a "taste" that you're feeling, but mostly the soft texture giving the illusion of tastiness.
> If we have some sort of favorable evolutionary circumstances that predispose us to turn into archivists

Intelligence - predicting the future rather than reacting to the present - unlocks the possibility of communicating about the future rather than just the present (basic animal calls - predator alerts, intimidation threats, mating calls, etc), which means the message can have value in the future if stored and transmitted (unlike a predator alert which is useless if not delivered in the moment).

It seems that writing, or proto-writing (drawings become symbolic glyphs?), probably developed before message carrying/sending, which then becomes the big capability unlock - the ability to send/spread information and therefore for humans to become a "collective intelligence" able to build upon each other's discoveries.

It's interesting why some groups of humans never culturally developed along this path though - aboriginees and forest peoples who have no written language. Is it because of their mode of life, or population density perhaps? Cultural isolation? Why have these groups not found the utility for written language?

Apparently as recently as 1800 global literacy rate was only around 10% - perhaps just a reflection that in the modern world you can passively benefit from the products of our collective intelligence without yourself being part of the exchange, or perhaps a reflection that desire for information is not the norm for our species - more for the intelligentsia?!

For a moment I 100% panicked, it would have hurt us bad as a small business.
Absolutely wild, I honestly got concerned there for a moment… Wise (Transferwise) must be getting a lot of concerned emails about this…
I'm thinking about things like life expectancy, infant mortality, maternal mortality, health care, violent crime, suicide, incarceration, traffic safety...
I wasn't trying to be pithy. My most recent understanding is that a lot of EU countries have been cutting their research funding and attacking their universities.
I'm glad it's not Wise, formerly transferwise, which proves to be a pretty useful product when moving money if you're moving countries.
You'll find the people downvoting are mostly not people. It seems to be a naive de-amplification when certain posts have above a threshold of activity, where negative and neutral sentiment is downvoted.

While you need at least 500 karma points to see the downvote mechanism, apparently its been possible to downvote using curl or other software after attaching certain nonces without any kind of verification that the account meets that requirement.

A guy interested in this was tinkering and found that out in another post. Not sure if the guy ended up reaching out to dang or not.

I didn't go about verifying it, but the post he tinkered in definitely was downvoted by several points and the account used had only single digit karma (almost brand new).

As for what happened, its pretty clear that the boss follows the academic and government stereotype of the corrupt magistrate. Leveraging someone who can't say no for fear of reprisal (and she immigrated from such an environment so its fresh).

In any case, this is just an example of how totalitarian our society has become, and how it has followed the predictable indicators similar to that which lead up to Hitler's rise to power.

There has been a running debate that when communism fails to subvert and seize power, totalitarianism rises in response. A lot of historian's have been working hard lately.
Where’s the lie?
Flip it around, what's a good reason for not ALSO posting on the government website other than pushing people to use twitter?
Yeah I was a bit worried after seeing the headline and the article doesnt do much to clear that up. Thank you.
The Titanic is on a perpetual news cycle. How every decade it somehow manages to make news is interesting.
I'm not aware this has made it to the floor yet. If it has, I stand corrected. I interned in government long ago, but learned many bills are written for constituent consumption and never are intended to get a vote.

As-is it likely won't pass because it limits spouses and dependents as well - which will get into lots of complicated personal rights issues. The same rights issues that have been argued in favor of keeping the status quo (in regards to sitting members). Spouses and dependents didn't "sign up" to become government officials, so it'll be difficult to limit their liberties in this way. I do support the sentiment, however.
And the fat. there's some shrimp with a lot of fat. Which is really just a platform for other great flavors

If a new a Twitter/Bluesky replacement is to promote civil discourse, it will need to _restrict_ reach as a core feature. Which... seems antithetical to a social media platform. But as long as "enragement = engagement" holds true, each new social media platform will eventually devolve into the same kind of cesspool as its predecessors.

Considering vibe coding is the current state of the art I don’t think you have anything to worry about
Ah, so we can display the in-game amount, along with it the full-price you would have paid without the discount, and the “savings” because you bought more and oh look how much more you save when you buy more!

They’re gonna need a rule for that.
I don't think behaviours are all that interesting; after all other programming languages have them.

Rather, what is interesting about the BEAM is that throwing an error is so graceful that it's not such a sin to just throw an error. In otherwords, a component that CAN error or get into a weird state can be shoved into a behaviour that CANNOT. And by default you are safe from certain operational errors becoming logic or business errors.

For example. You might have a defined "get" interface that doesn't return an error -- let's say it starts as an in-memory K/V store and it returns an optional(value), which is NULL in the case that the key didn't exist.

But suppose you want to have two datastores that the same interface targets, so you might abstract that to a filesystem, and you could have a permission error. And returning "NULL" is not actually "correct". You should throw, because that bubbles up the error to ops teams instead of swallowing it whole. A panic in this case is probably fine.

What if now you're going over a filesystem that's over the network, and the line to the datacenter was backhoe'd and there was a 10 millisecond failover by your SDN -- returning "NULL" is really not correct, because consumers of your getter are liable to have a bad time managing real consistency business cases that could cost $$$. And in this case a panic is not necessarily great, because you bring down everything over a minor hiccup.

The other power with throwing errors + behaviors is that it makes trapping errors with contextual information reporting (e.g. a user-bound 500 error with stack trace information sent somewhere where ops can take a gander) really easy and generically composable, that's not so for error monads or panics.

Anyways it was always strange to me that erlang-inspired actor system programming languages came out that obsessed over "never having errors" as a principle (like ponylang) because that's throwing out a big part of erlang.
Dropout.tv is a counterexample. They're not 20 movies and 5 TV shows, but they're closer to that than they are Disney. There are also all the people who make a living on Patreon.
What would you define as “valid”
Of course that is how it should be done, but that is least-likely to be implemented by the greedy games industry, is it? They'll interpret it differently as with "cost when saving the most by our fancy bundles".
I'm not sure why people obtusely intepret Supreme Court rulings as though they're part of the current administration.

The court is obviously saying that (1) it's correct and necessary to bring him back but that (2) the District Court doesn't have unbridled authority to order any foreign policy-influencing remedy it wants.

I.e. a US court couldn't order a president to sign a treaty

If the administration tries to foot drag further, the Supreme Court will likely order more specific remedies.

By not taking the L here, the administration is just burning whatever conservative goodwill they might have started with on this Supreme Court.
I suspect it's because in real life, you will have just sat through a death-by-powerpoint on principles of landnav for 90 minutes of some bored E6 reading off the slides to a whole bunch of even more bored E4's and then you get to play the game to practice.
I remember showing off Resharper to a friend in high school and something about how quickly I was writing code made him say "oh so it writes the code for you?"

He wasn't asking in an accusatory way: most people in the class were learning to code for the first time, and something about how quickly code was appearing and the screen was jumping around and new functions were appearing made him think it really was capable of writing the code for me.

It comes back to me any time I see these discussions about if AI copilots are still coding. In fact, sometimes I think it's a wash in my productivity having to downgrade from Webstorm to VS Code to use Cursor.
Sure the burden _should_ be high in both directions.

But the journalists seem to be doing a decent job of announcing and describing the data they have, and confirming it with multiple sources within Meta. They're engaged in a seemingly earnest and forthright effort to make the case. And to the degree that it's limited, it seems those limits are due to Meta itself.

Meta, on the other hand, excepting these whistleblowers, makes very little information available about their take-down actions both at the level of individual cases or at the level of their systematic responses to governments. The whistleblowers claim that Meta regularly took down posts without human review when requested by the Israelis. That's the exact opposite of the high burden of proof that you're asking for.
As mentioned above, journalists with a wide reach should be held to different standards, similar to doctors who are anti-vaxxers, facing massive consequences and an immediate cancellation of their licenses. They are endangering people's lives.

Context matters a lot. It's different if we talk crap at home with our friends vs. broadcasting a message to 10M people.
Germany also was home to some of the most cutting edge fission research. Otto Hahn (the ship, not the guy), THTR-300, EPR, SNR-300, ...

This is a forum populated almost entirely by people whose day-to-day existence depends upon building the new stuff that sucks :) (mine too!)
I'm sympathetic. We tried to get 10 year vesting together at my last company. But 4/1 is industry standard, and my rebuttal is that partners just bake 4/1 expectations into their decisions. If the partnership is uncertain about a member 6 months in, and kicks the can down the road another 7 months, that's on the partnership, not the structure.
Peak anthropocentrism. You see this attitude all over, unfortunately even in circles that should know better. It even feels circular, like saying "Language is how we know people are more 'advanced' than animals, but animals can never have language, because language is what humans do."

This is true.

- like in the example, fast people have trouble going slow.

- people who are exceptional at details might be poor at big-picture.

- super passionate people can take criticism of their ideas personally

- people who are slow might be steady
Some intel processors have P/E core splits. So do some apple processors and mobile processors.

Our normal desktop processors have double the cells cores. Workstation and servers have 64 or more cores.

Many core is alive and well.
I agree here. I ran server 2003 on my early 2000's desktop for a while.
I'm not defending those actions. You appear to be defending them though.
EU can't stop regulate everything. Last week they say they should regulate a lot less but that was the same EU bureaucrats that talk talk, promise and don't do anything good, just make impossible to do anything in digital space.
Yes but part-of the point of those discounts is to obfuscate the value of that currency when you are spending it.

This is like nutritional information on food, it will be "bad" for some companies if there is transparency.
Thanks for the feedback! Will work on some updates for the hero backgrounds.

On your point about local code vs. API:

- We handle all the authentication, rate limiting, and API differences between providers, which becomes complex when working with multiple models. Our platform allows smart switching between different models depending on the message context.

- Our switching is optimized for performance. We provide detailed usage analytics and cost management across models so you can optimize which models to use where. This allows you to see what costs your users may be incurring / misbehaving.

We're building features that go beyond what's easily replicable locally, including some of the agent and evaluation capabilities you mentioned (rolling out over the next two weeks). OpenRouter is definitely doing great things in this space. We're taking a slightly different approach by focusing on bringing customization within the dashboard to allow for on-the-fly updates without pushing new code edits.

Appreciate the feedback and hopefully you get a chance to try out the tool!
The global economy is so interconnected and dependent on the US economy that if it were to fail it would cause global chaos.

A contraction of growth by even a few percentage points will push most economies into a recession.

Failure of the US economy will pull down other economies by a few percentage points. If this happened world wide there would be chaos.

> Why ants?

It fits the basic concept of writing, where complex ideas are communicating through time rather than space.

As to using symbols it depends on what you mean by symbols. Though an ants nest is a dark environment so writing the way we think of it via coloration would be a useless. In such an environment pheromones have inherent advantages, but you can’t get the same highly detailed shapes.
I went from a company that used Elixir in the backend to one that uses Nodejs.

I had gone in neutral about Nodejs, having never really used it much.

These projects I worked on were backend data pipeline that did not even process that much data. And yet somehow, it was incredibly difficult to isolate exactly the main bug. Along the way, I found out all sorts of things about Nodejs and when I compare it with Elixir/Erlang/OTP, I came to the conclusion that Node.js is unreliable by design.

Don't get me wrong. I've done a lot of Ruby work before, and I've messed with Python. Many current-generation language platforms are struggling with building reliable distributed systems, things that the BEAM VM and OTP platform had already figured out.
lazy engineers automate stuff better :)
> Hopefully you don't have any allergic reations, wear bandages, grow beards, experience weight changes, etc.

Digital ID has no issues with me having or not having on glasses, growing and losing a beard or having had one eye patched. When it has, a person can make a subjective call. Like, people lose boarding passes all the time. The status quo is faulty and expensive.

"To hype something is to provide a dishonest impression of how great it is" is accurate.

Marketing hype is all about "provide a dishonest impression of how great it is". Putting the weaknesses in fine print doesn't change the hype

Anyways I don't mean to pile on but I agree with some of the other posters here. An awful lot of extremely pro-AI posts that I've noticed have your name on them

I don't think you are as critical of the tech as you think you are.

For creation, yes, because of the provenance of the training data that got us here. It was acquired unethically in the overwhelming majority of cases. Using models derived from that training is laundering and anonymizing the existing creativity of other humans and then still staking the claim "I made this", like the stick figure comic. It's ghoulish.
This is probably the thing that will break first, and the thing to watch in the market. Stocks can go up or down, but if borrowing gets too expensive, interest rates will soar.

How can they tell if you submit a patch that you produced with the help of AI though? They mentioned they found a bug in an AI-assisted patch. But an actual skilled programmer can easily produce code with the help of AI that doesn't have any bugs in it.
