The work thus far has mostly been on a seamless mobile UI, & to make engaging with the LLM like less of a chat and more like browsing an interesting dynamic wiki about your own life. But also, yes, a highlight for me re: having your journal in context can be to search and find commonalities, patterns.

I would say the insights frontier models have given me, at a high level, match some of those offered by professionals in a theraputic context--which is one reason I'd be curious to make an affordable/accessible app. Although I tread lightly into depersonalizing such a human area with techno utopian naivete...

Curious—Do you have a best Metal project to learn from? Foveated rendering and temporal reprojection important here I imagine.

An LLM assistant app for engaging with your journal. Insights, prompts (for humans), research leads, etc.

I learned vim young enough that I'll probably die editing text this way—RIP Bram.

Fear that postmodernism "infects" the humanities has always read as condescension to me: "this idea is too dangerous and 'normal' people won't be able to see the ways it will be abused, so we'd better reject it."

At some point (not sure if it is still true) Jai had or was going to have language-level implementation of relative pointers, i.e. a 16 or 32 bit relative offset from “this field’s memory address.”

> It makes me sad because while they have awesome professional accomplishments, they would have been awesome mothers and parents as well.

I just wanted to point out politely how strange this language reads to me. It's ultimately the decision of each person whether to have kids or not. This being "sad" for them is an overreach, morally, IMO--and part of the fight feminism led was to carve out a space for women in society not to be mothers, if that is their choice.

Actually, you can use DevTools to inspect DevTools. Hit option-command-J to bring up devtools, make sure it's in "window mode," i.e., in a separate window from the browser itself, and then hit option-command-J again to DevTools that DevTools.

You can actually just keep recursing and inspect the previous inspector ad nauseam...

Using React every day has me sold on functional reactive programming for UI. But there's definitely some friction at the boundary between the nicely declarative React tree and the rest of the world with all its mutable state.

I'd love to experiment with with React and Elm (or maybe Ur/web?) together.

Have they been working on compilation speed? About a year ago I was trying some WebGL "bindings" that had definitions for all the constants and functions, and the game I was hacking on would take 20 seconds to compile on a fairly recent Macbook Air.
