Before GitHub and WordPress were popular (or even existed?), I had a project called MZNews, later renamed MZn², where you could manage news on your website using PHP and MySQL, hosted on SourceForge. I made a box for it on Bryce. (it's true: sourceforge.net/projects/mzn2/)

I apparently made YouTube around 2005. Look at this beautiful UX. Sadly I was poor and used cjb.net, which was not archived. (The videos were using Windows Media Player, this is a recreation of the PHP website by Astra)

Yes, I have tested the leaked Windows Longhorn back when it leaked.

Me, a degenerate, with Photoshop, Fireworks and MICROSOFT GIF ANIMATOR.

If you open a menu fast enough after launching YouTube while playing a video on a nearby TV, the “Now playing” sheet opens INSIDE THE MENU. I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.

The new iPhone Duo (at time of filming) doesn't seem to have any support for viewport-fit=cover, preventing anything from appearing below the vertical bar. Please let this be a bug, and not yet another set of APIs we need to adhere. env(), safe-inset, viewport-fit=cover should just work.

Chrome is expediting two APIs, the Prompt API which lets a website run a small local large language model, and WebMCP, which allows a website to offer MCP support. What if we plug one to the other…

There are no instances because Bluesky is procedural, not object oriented.

Here’s a small example of why Apple took so long to change Siri to a broader “more” intelligent model. Back in “classic Siri”, I would say “hey Siri I don’t like this song”, and it would correctly mark it, and also skip it on Apple Music. Today I said the same to the new Siri.

11 June

In choosing the new Siri, they threw away the old Siri that was extremely reliable (to its own detriment and perceived stupidity). Which one is worse? Both? Hard to say.

With Fable being so expensive, and API pricing only, my prediction is that companies will restrict access to only prompts that have been signed off by another engineer/manager. I wonder if PR will come to mean “prompt review” as well as “pull request” 😅

I feel the same. It’s been extremely challenging to be positive and excited about the technology that is permanently changing everything it touches. And not always because of how capable it seems to be, but because of how convincing it is, and the amount of grift around it.

As a curious person, I started exploring Google Chrome's `LanguageModel` Prompt API that ships with Google Chrome Beta. I built a stupid harness that sends a system prompt and allows it to eval any JS code it wants. It was fun to play around until I asked what is my user agent...

And then I asked "what model are you based on?" It said > I am based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. Funny.

It is kinda sad sometimes, I asked it to "add a chat box ui" and it spiralled failing to produce proper JavaScript DOM manipulations and ended up extremely ashamed.

I wanted it to query navigator.userAgent and read it back to me. Something VERY ODD happened. It did a broken tool call, sent the navigator.userAgent as a generic code and then...

And this isn't new, they have been pushing local model APIs for a while (earliest I can find is mid 2024[1]), I remember it was first proposed as `window.ai`[2]. [1] web.archive.org/web/20240525... [2] groups.google.com/a/chromium.o...
