My WebAssembly debugger lets you time-travel with your scroll wheel. WebAssembly (and Ghostty) are so fast that a step back just reruns from scratch.

What if the Finder was where you had AI conversations on the Mac? I made a mockup merging the new Siri app with the desktop you see after booting. The name “Finder” is perfect!

You can now sponsor me on GitHub to support my work on QIP, components that let you quickly render anything everywhere. github.com/sponsors/patrickg…

Steve Jobs likened computers to a bicycle for the mind. AI is a rocket for the mind. Directed, it can accelerate you to the moon. Undirected, it can noisily consume energy and explode into nothingness.

From an alternative universe.

It's important to learn math not because you may need to do long division as an adult, but because it promotes rigorous thinking. IMO, history and causal inference are among the most important subjects a young person can study — math being central to the second. A significant problem in public discourse right now is people's inability to critically evaluate causal claims (e.g., vaccines cause autism, deporting immigrants will solve the housing crisis, etc.). The less able people are to critically evaluate causal claims, the worse our democracy functions because people can be preyed upon for votes. You should promote anything that improves rigorous thinking, even if it doesn't have market value. In fact, we should stop thinking of education only in the context of what improves the economy. IMO, this is distinct from knowing your own address (which Huang can avoid because he's wealthy). Memorizing facts like this may or may not be important, but it's distinct from rigorous thinking.

Mojo, Go & WebAssembly offer 3 very different approaches to platform-agnostic SIMD:

If you aren’t precious about what code your agent is writing, you still want to pick one with SIMD support as it’ll let you squeeze more performance out. You can Turing-complete faster. pkg.go.dev/simd/archsimd

Use coding agents to mint useful determinism

Super interesting post-AI developer-targeted product and business model. Pre-AI I expect this would have been a paid course & book. Now it’s a subject-matter-expert’s knowledge embedded in an app an agent can call on. tools.nilcoalescing.com/swif…

Much of the appetite for agents exists because the web added so much friction like Subscribe to Our Newsletter, Accept All Cookies, Open in App, Enable Notifications, Share on X, Your Session Has Expired, Sign In With Google, Verify It’s You. We desire that friction gone.

Good software helps people make order from chaos. Unconstrained coding agents create chaos from orders.

agent-browser is pretty damn useful

The worst. We have tests that the agent won't see until we do release prep to find these regressions.

I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea. I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics). The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency. In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them. They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it. I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen. I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same. I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that. Number one tip: act with agency.
