I write about software development and emerging new technologies.

[Abhinav Asthana @a85]

Agents are about to consume APIs at 1000x the rate of today's apps — across runtime AND the whole SDLC: CI machines, workloads, debugging, incident response, MCP servers.

The way we hand out API access wasn't built for that world. 🧵

The people whose work went into the datasets deserve more credit than the AI labs.

AI changes how fast mediocre ideas get shipped and how quickly real judgment is exposed. There’s no hiding behind effort anymore.

@EuPatrunjel @GoogleQuantumAI The out-of-order time correlator (OTOC) algorithm, which we call Quantum Echoes. Learn more here: https://t.co/Aixxz3cNkg

[Google AI @GoogleAI]

Today, we’re announcing a major breakthrough that marks a significant step forward in the world of quantum computing. For the first time in history, our teams at @GoogleQuantumAI demonstrated that a quantum computer can successfully run a verifiable algorithm, 13,000x faster than leading classical supercomputers.

This continues to build momentum on past quantum computing discoveries. Back in 2019, we proved a quantum computer could solve a problem that would take a classical computer thousands of years. Then in 2024, our new Willow chip solved a major issue in quantum error correction that challenged the field for nearly 30 years. Today’s breakthrough moves us closer to quantum computers that can drive discoveries in areas like medicine and materials science.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

This is an interesting bench. I did a quick & dirty test with Elixir, and got 830MB for 1M processes (with hibernation). You can find the code at https://t.co/ixbj4mgrUa

As always, keep in mind that mem usage is just one part of the story. BEAM gives you full process isolation, fault-tolerance distributed GC, & bunch of other goodies 😉

@louispilfold Shifted to OpenSuse a year back from endeavour os and love the snapper snapshots. Have reverted twice post kernel upgrades and it felt like restarting the system and starting new.

[Arpit Kumar @arpitswall]

@louispilfold I am using netdata for linux servers, extremely powerful and you can connect with discord etc for alerts. I love the default graphs and details. Extremely lightweight too.

So... my contract gigs will end in a few days.

I’m now looking for a job! 🤓

- Principal engineer, backend/systems/arch focus
- Fully remote, flexible hours (hard to find ppl in the same tz), pref async work
- @elixirlang is def my strength, but I just love doing stuff

[Samrat Man Singh @samratmansingh]

telemetry_ui looks pretty cool. Visualize your metrics without having to set up any external components

@moomerman Try out mise for any lang/tool version installation

"Financial independence is person specific. I have always been taken aback at the high number of people in whom an astonishingly high income led to additional sycophancy as they become more dependent on their clients and employers and more addicted to making even more money."- Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Individuals in the country, that too less than 3% of the population, pay more taxes than all the companies in India combined. Amrit Kaal for Indian tax payers. Thank you Prime Minister and Finance Minister.

Please bookmark this tweet or follow @St_Brosephs for when you are in distress.

Who is St. Broseph (real name Dushyant Dubey)? He's a media-proclaimed 🦇'Batman', full-time social worker, based out of BLR

A nice comparison of Laravel and Rails

@falconerd I was also using Arch since 2016 but recently switched to OpenSuse Tumbleweed after lot of research. It is really stable and entire snapshot rollback works like git revert. Found it very stable. Only once had to do rollback with single command. Works like magic

[Chris McCord @chris_mccord]

I built "World Page Speed Test" https://t.co/BuD1rosh4M for testing load times as viewed around the globe. It elastically scales headless chrome with FLAME.

The whole thing is a 350 LOC LiveView including HTML, RPC, &amp; FLAME. It's astounding what you can build on Elixir &amp; Erlang
