A concurrent programming faceoff: Erlang vs. Elixir | TechTarget
Both Erlang and Elixir offer developers unique ways to program always-available and highly concurrent systems, but sometimes developers need to choose one or the other. In this tutorial, we examine the Erlang vs. Elixir argument, exploring each language's strengths and possible limitations.
Challenger to x86 RISEs to Solve the Software Problem
The goal is to create the underlying software tools and middleware that developers will need to write applications for devices or servers with RISC-V chips.
On Bluesky, users own their data, developers will never get locked out of the ecosystems they help build, and creators own their relationships with their audience.
Recent research proposes Toolformer, a model that can teach itself to use external tools via simple APIs in a self-supervised way. Augmented Language Models (ALMs) can use external modules to expand their context processing ability and learn to reason and use tools while still performing natural language tasks. However, tool-use agents face challenges in deciding when and how to use external tools, and require significant human supervision. Progress has been made on self-supervised learning of tool use with language models, but interactive tool use has not been explored yet.
Winglang: Cloud Development Programming for the AI Era
Wing is a new programming language for cloud development that enables both human and AI developers to write cloud code at a higher level of abstraction, and it comes with a local simulator that lets developers test it quickly.
Edge functions: good for performance and cost, hard to debug and integrate, states new survey • DEVCLASS
Around 1,000 developers have expressed their views on edge functions, a modern approach to web applications, showing enthusiasm for performance and cost, but frustrations in areas including debugging and integration with third-party APIs. The traditional way to deploy a web application is with hosted servers, load balancers, content delivery network for global low-latency to static […]
