And how cheap it is

But that makes no sense - what are inference partner terms?

Here you go: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2035074972943831491

People need to seriously stop it with the whole reddit-esque Boston Marathon Bomber investigation-style low-info crusades. Its extremely unhealthy for both your own mental state and the state of discourse on the internet. Even if Cursor misbehaved (they did not): Your life is not materially changed whether they did or did not. Use it, or don't use it; these things are a matter that lies exclusively between Cursor and Moonshot.


Again, I was not questioning Cursor here, but inference partner terms makes no real sense and that is what I wanted explained.

It's also always easier to blame the LLM when the developer doesn't work with it right.


How is that relevant? Also, when you are behind you do give more usage


I use opencode web (server running on my desktop) and accessing it from my phone and it works well.


Yeah ohmypi is garbage. The point is you have a thing shell and add your own on top by just talking to pi itself or pick in selective extensions.


Surely they mean Erlang not Elixir


addressed at the very top of the article

   A note on terminology: Throughout this post I refer to "the BEAM." BEAM is
   the virtual machine that runs both Erlang and Elixir code, similar to how the
   JVM runs both Java and Kotlin. Erlang (1986) created the VM and the
   concurrency model. Elixir (2012) is a modern language built on top of it with
   better ergonomics. When I say "BEAM," I mean the runtime and its properties.
   When I say "Elixir," I mean the language we write.


How is that addressing the title


Sounds to me like they mean “BEAM” rather than a specific language. But BEAM means Elixir for most newcomers.


Which is a real shame as if you actually spend some time with both you’ll probably eventually realise erlang is the nicer language.

Elixir just feels… Like it’s a load of pre-compile macros. There’s not even a debugger.


Do you have other examples of how it's nicer? I've only ever heard of Elixir being the nicer alternative.


This is gonna rankle folks who like one or the other, but they're basically the same language. When it comes to languages that run on the same VM, Erlang and Elixir are very close together. They aren't nearly as far apart as say, Java and Clojure.

Elixir adds a few things (a lisp-style macro system, protocols, UTF-8 as the default string type, a builtin build tool, streams) but Elixir is not a huge departure from Erlang in the way that Clojure is a huge departure from Java.

By far the biggest things you're going to learn when you learn either one are going to be the BEAM runtime itself and the OTP libraries, which both Elixir and Erlang have in common.


For example, Anand did very well in a recent rapid and blitz event amongst youngsters. But Anand was drubbed by Kasparov in a recent Freestyle event.


It's funny how I can know where the post is from just by looking at the title (and it's not just about pelicans)


So are there animals that see a violet sky?
