Announcing deflua.com π
The new home for Lua, the pure-Elixir Lua 5.3 VM for @elixirlang.
Scriptable, sandboxed, stupid easy.
Embed untrusted code (AI agent tools, user formulas, plugins) all on the BEAM, zero NIFs.
Plus a live playground π

ok. I lied. The other thing I want in #ziglang is for tuples to be converted to varargs when the function has extern(.c)

"They're made out of weights."
"Weights?"
"Weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but weights."
"Weights doing what? Where do the words come from?"
"The weights make the words. Are you understanding me?"

Elixir should have a Kernel.collect/3 function, which delegates to Enum.reduce, but with the argument order reversed. Kernel.collect/2 would be (collectible, enumerable) #elixirlang

got the vibe-coded in-browser lalign down from 30s to sub 100ms. It also now does wrap-around alignments for circular sequences.
1. Tighten up the javascript. The code was doing string toUpper on each comparison! So step 1 was normalizing to integer enums and using UInt8Arrays
2. Tell the LLM to make the zig WASM engine match the new javascript lalign, aggressively testing example parity.
3. Since we're comparing sequences that SHOULD be mostly the same (sequential insertions/deletions, point mutations) it's worth it to attempt a first round chunked scan and that's SIMD-izable.

for reference, before optimization the wasm was running in about 10s, and after, the js version runs in about 800ms for a typical workload that vidalalabs does.

Feel like the claude quality has been struggling for days now.

movie chemists most likely to be disfigured
May 31
Out of 202 movie geologists found in 141 movies released between 1919 and 2023, 69 die on screen or are found deadβa mortality rate of about one-third, according to a new paper.
The authors, several geologistsβslashβmovie buffs, began their analysis more than a decade ago and have provided regular updates, although this is the first in a scientific journal.

created a wizard that scans a dna sequence for possible pcr amplicons, then lets you pick from then, then assembles a table of reaction conditions, drops it as a table into your notebook.

as someone who is in the weeds on synthetic bio, who discovered that an enzyme was an NPN transistor, and who has done eight years in tech including building an AI cloud by hand, the answers are:
1. probably not
2. not anytime soon

Could we get a room-temp superconductor from bio? What about chips built from biological materials?
For decades people have been predicting a material science revolution from biotech. So far it's not panned out.
But George Church, the godfather of modern synthetic biology, believes that will change soon.

at best we make a pcb replacement that uses a biosynthesized monomer (still unlikely)
