We have the smartest users in the whole world. What a project. Bookmark this - we're building the email infra for the next million unicorn companies.

"Move 37" is the word-of-day - it's when an AI, trained via the trial-and-error process of reinforcement learning, discovers actions that are new, surprising, and secretly brilliant even to expert humans. It is a magical, just slightly unnerving, emergent phenomenon only

Fascinating data from an IMF economist on the lasting, mostly positive effects of the explosion in remote work during the pandemic: • Preliminary data shows that US couples who both work from home at least one day a week have 0.3 to 0.5 more children (!!!) due to greater

I've been working on a AI API connector feature all summer. You give it a docs url for your API. It gives you an integration that pulls data, reliably, at scale. Come take a look.

Whoa, I wish I could've made it to #ElixirConf to catch this talk on Phoenix + #LocalFirst! 🔥🔥
A proof of concept from @josevalim of using Postgres replication to do offline-first, client-centric sync with Phoenix. This rules. #ElixirConf2024 #MyElixirStatus
