Documenting a @FolkComputer program that's delighted me for the last few weeks:
+ started with our friend Josh asking about programs that can probe the pixels directly from the camera
+ led to these “marbles runs”
+ recently @itseieio made a version with nice gravity simulation
lmao
Where were you when PLDB Wrapped dropped?

confession: i've yet to have that moment of feeling that frontier LLMs are geniuses, or super-human at ~anything broadly coherent that i deeply prize
i never ended up following up on this but this was absolutely just temporary psychosis / early model lifecycle vibes. fable was ofc a huge step up and opus 5.5 is better, but as i think we've all found even the most frontier models remain shockingly incoherent and myopic at times

I don't like knowing what programming languages or libraries claude is using.
Feels like this is none of my business.

Radical Pie uses Slug to draw its entire UI as vector graphics on the GPU. Not just text. Buttons, icons, check boxes, scroll bars, sliders, palettes, ..., everything.

Everyone’s seen the Sketchpad demo. Few understand how it actually works.
I reimplemented Sketchpad from scratch, and I’m making short videos that recreate Sutherland’s demos and explain how they work. The first 8 are up — from drawing a line to the famous rivet.
