If you want to try and get involved with the Gleam compiler there's this new good first issue that could be a great starting point! Compilers are not scary, give it a try and see for yourself ⭐️💕

Did you know you can connect a Livebook notebook to a running Phoenix app?

Apparently, many of us don't.

Useful for:
- internal tools
- runbooks
- and engineering support

Here's how you can do it. 👇

New #ElixirLang and Phoenix project checklist:

- Setup LiveDashboard
- Configure .iex.exs (auto_reload)
- Add Credo
- Add LiveDebugger
- Add Oban
- Add Tidewave
- Setup Fluxon (my components of choice)

Anything I'm missing?

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

A picture of a black NeXTlevel handheld gaming device, by NeXT. It opens vertically to show two landscape screens, a dpad, and four buttons in NeXT colours. On the bottom screen is the NeXT desktop with the Info window for Chess showing. On the top screen is Chess in its 3D NeXT style glory. Either side of the top screen are the speaker grilles. It sits on a blue fabric background, lit from the side.

The NeXTlevel was NeXT Software's first handheld device, eagerly awaited but canned just two weeks from release when Apple purchased NeXT and chose not to pursue gaming. All 250,000 release devices were pulled from channels and unceremoniously rolled into landfill out northwest of Dubbo.

With #macOS Tahoe 26, I figured out a fun little command to set 🦀 as the folder icon for any #rustlang projects...not that I use Finder much (terminals FTW).

Another Tidewave success story.

Now, with a nudge to introspect at the runtime level to fix the problem.

I used Claude Code to search through my entire @obsidian.md for certain phrases (and include common variants and misspellings) in both path and node contents. Then I told it to send the entire list of matched files to a running neovim instance in another tmux window as an arglist. Amazed.

A code review comment from CoPilot on GitHub that reads:

The word 'chonky' should be 'chunky' or a more professional term like 'large' in code comments.

Suggested change
- // Future is chonky, so we need to pin it
+ // Future is large, so we need to pin it

A diff in VSCode that shows the removal of a comment that reads:

A friend has noticed that AI agents don’t like the word “chonky.” Several times now they’ve tried to remove it from the code unprompted, both during code review and locally.

Well I'll be damned. I might have to switch phones after all even if all the new ones are oversized.

Unfortunate this looks opt-in for third-party apps. I wonder how much adoption there will be. Hopefully WhatsApp and Signal will adopt it right away?

It has A19 Pro. A19 Pro has matmul acceleration in its GPU, the equivalent of Nvidia's Tensor cores.
This would make future Macs extremely viable for local LLMs. Currently, Macs have high memory bandwidth and high VRAM capacity but low prompt processing speeds. Give it a large context and it'll take forever before the first token is generated.
If the M5 generation gets this GPU upgrade, which I don't see why not, then the era of viable local LLM inferencing is upon us.
That's the most exciting thing from this Apple's event in my opinion.
PS. I also like the idea of the ultra thin iPhone Air, the 2x better noise cancellation and live translation of Airpods 3, high blood pressure detection of the new Watch, and the bold sexy orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro. Overall, this is as good as it gets for incremental updates in Apple's ecosystem in a while.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
