What is Crane? This is the vision of the project, still in active development.

Another 20,000 Web Platform Tests green in Crane! x.com/bcardarella/...

Web Platform Test progress for Crane now over 1.81M! zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=35

I realized I had the $200/month Claude API credits. Just broke 1,671,000 Web Platform Tests now green in Crane! zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=34

Another 2,000 Web Platform Tests green overnight for my from-scratch headless browser, Crane zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=33

5,000 more Web Platform Tests are green overnight in Crane! zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=32

Another 3,000 Web Platform Tests are now green since yesterday in Crane zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=31

Another 2,000 Web Platform Tests are green in Crane! zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=30

Another 6,000 Web Platform Tests done overnight in Crane. Progress unfortunately is stalled until Thursday when I get my Claude tokens back. zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=22

Found an issue with the v8 wasm harness and Crane's Web Platform Test compliance skyrocketed by another 100,000 to cross the 1.6M mark! zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=12

I am absolutely over the moon about this 😁 The #Goatmire badge (running #AtomVM) controlling the Goatmire balance bot (running #Nerves and #BeamBots, rendering display with #Emerge) via #Erlang distribution Thanks @lawik.bsky.social for the display PR 🫶

The next week of Crane updates is going to be pretty slow I think. I ran out of Claude tokens on Monday and have been running with Astra. Then got Opus 5.5 back yesterday and Opus is cleaning up a lot of Astra's code.

Built another small game for the Apple Vision Pro with AI: Pitch Recognizer. You're put into the batter's box and facing a pitcher. Are the pitches balls or strikes? Are you good enough to recognize the pitch type? Can you face a MLB level pitcher? www.youtube.com/watch?v=58KV...

Slow day for Crane but we're now less than 2,000 passing Web Platform Tests away from 1.5 million zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=8

Less than 2,300 tests until 1.5M passing Web Platform Tests in Crane zig-whatwg.github.io/crane/?v=7

Releasing a statement about the OpenAI / Navier-Stokes drama on a university server as a PDF is the most academic shit you can do. cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st...

Platner needs to negotiate with the Dem party a replacement candidate who shares his politics, but is a good person.

I'm working on Zap's concurrency model today. The basics I'm toying with: Conceptually similar to the BEAM where each process is isolated, supervised, has its own memory manager (currently have ARC, Arena, and GC managers to choose from), and uses message passing.

The premiere way to update your Nerves devices is sponsoring your NervesConf EU. You can use it for your hobby project and when you use it for a commercial project you fund the ongoing maintenance and development of it all. goatmire.com/sponsor/nerv... #elixirlang #goatmire

Getting the LLMs to write Zap code leveraging pattern matching is proving challenging. First image is how a Simd.reduce function was written. Second is how it should be written.

The number of times I keep getting bitten by how slow marshalling data from a BEAM process to a NIF and back is really exposing how problematic the BEAM is for so many use cases that require real performance.

Good for Talarico. There's a huge issue on the far left with outright racism towards Jewish people. You can have take issue with Israel but don't let that position apply to all Jews.

Major progress on Zap over the past few days. I introduced some very difficult perf benchmarks which exposed a Zig IR lowering retain issue with the ARC memory mgmt model. These three benchmarks were recording 7GB - 13GB of memory. Now memory is on par with other major languages.

Thanks, Gandolf

This guy is accusing me of being a racist and mysoginist because I mostly follow Elixir devs on here. Bluesky is not a serious place.

@liberallibrarian.bsky.social It was literally party policy to lose working class voters in favor of winning over more affluent voters www.c-span.org/clip/public-...

I love all of the dipshit arm-chair social media warriors coming out of the woodwork on this. Only on bluesky. God damn this platform is a complete waste. Democrats *were* the working class party. They had country-wide union support. Then they decided they wanted to get rich and favored white collar

This shows how the city Dems look down on the working class. The Democratic party was this guy's party. Why did the Dems lose him? Because they left him behind, not the other way around. If the Democrats want to *earn* voters like this back they need to stop talking down to them.

On the night of her election loss Kat Abughazaleh vowed to "continue the fight" and that despite the loss the movement was just getting started and a bunch of other empty platitudes... then she immediately got a job at CNN. What a joke.

Glad to see the the old bag Janet Mills finally drop out. Paving the way for Platner, the people's choice.
