No slop accounts being run from third world countries is not a global scandal
The scandal is he most likely knew the election is being manipulated via his platform, but didn’t say anything, because it was in “his” candidate’s favor.
So... Is Musk really trying to say he didn't know this before election? This has to be investigated, as it has implications far beyond Musk. This is basically a global scandal.
For all lisp lovers tackling concurrency and parallelism, a reminder there's also LFE - a lisp for Erlang VM. Which happens to have solved all these issues decades ago. LFE was created by one of the Erlang co-creators. https://lfe.io

How does this compare to Gleam, in terms of goals, features, etc.?
Damn, I might try this, just to get a better perspective. Does HN fall within “socials” though? :-)
Interestingly, I used the exact same metaphor the other day. Suggesting that tools like GitHub Speckit should have /wrap-up command:
> And then maybe "/wrap-up" to tie all the untied knots once you're sufficiently happy. Kinda like surgeon stepping aside after the core part of the operation.

Isn't this what Erlang/Elixir BEAM is all about?

I’m fascinated by the sound of Erlang/BEAM but I’ve never found the time to actually try it. How are people using it in production? Do you write all your service logic using it or delegate specific parts to it?
Come and have a chat at elixirforum.com. Plenty of folks write serious stuff entirely/predominantly in Erlang/Elixir & BEAM and will be happy to answer your questions.

So these skills are effectively JIT context injections. Is that about right?
From the docs:
"Skills work through progressive disclosure—Claude determines which Skills are relevant and loads the information it needs to complete that task, helping to prevent context window overload."
So yeah, I guess you're right. Instead of one humongous AGENTS.md, just packaging small relevant pieces together with simple tools.
