Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it?
Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:
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.
