introducing gistโ .mom ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
collaborative editor for your GitHub Gists
ever wanted to collaborate live on that postmortem or RFC?
working with gists feels like corporate back-and-forth, not fun like designing together in Figma?
links below but you can probably just write it
ALT gist-mom, a collaborative editor for your gists that cares
great release, as usual
took me straight back to 2017, sitting in @explainevrythngโs donut-shaped office, reading Objective-C code to figure out how to make the web client behave like the mobile app
Depth-aware light injection in TypeGPU
I got a 448x448 monocular depth model down to ~8 ms on my M4 Pro across ~250 dispatches, which is fast enough to use in realtime :D
Since the inference is written directly in TypeGPU, I can just feed the depth buffer straight into the lighting pass. It never has to leave the GPU or go through any extra synchronization/interop step
Inference, lighting and draw all go through the same command encoder.
just love how the LLM leaves me these little love letters like

wondering why I feel exhausted. maybe: the agents do all the easy stuff, and I have to work through the leftover hard bits, which means I'm perpetually locked in. and as the models get better, "my" work just gets harder and harder, until I'm basically underqualified to do the work (which... is better than the alternative, there's nothing left for me to do, and I'm paperclipped).
You might notice a similar thing when you ask AI for some specific design style, let's say brutalism, and then it also makes the text on the page *about brutalism*
just so chatty, can't stop itself
I find slop-comments annoying bcs the codebase doesn't require this information
zooming out from code doesn't help: I noticed AI gets confused about outdated comments or spends tokens maintaining them
seems like almost all advice we gave to new devs makes sense for AI

i don't wanna talk to your clanker nor use any chat sidebar. pasting Claude's output straight to Slack is as inappropriate as posting a nude, sorry
asking people to read ai-generated text is offensive.
this is not because ai text is intrinsically bad. rather, the author has not paid a cost to write the text himself. this cost is a credible signal he finds its communication important.
so: not paying that cost is telling
back in my hometown for Easter. 2k-subs AI news YT channels are Cocomelon for boomers
Tried to recommend popular news channel to my pops. He turned it on on TV, and two minutes in, pulled out his phone to play AI slop again
