My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

[Josh Kale @JoshKale]

Every website you’ve ever used is broken in a way you never noticed and it’s been this way for 30 years...

A Midjourney engineer finally just fixed it.

It’s called Pretext:
A tiny library that lets websites lay out text the way magazines and newspapers do, with text flowing around images, wrapping into columns, and fitting perfectly into any shape, all at 120fps.

This has been basically impossible on the web for 30 years. Every website you’ve ever used relies on the same clunky system from the 90s to figure out where text goes on screen. Pretext bypasses it entirely. 500x faster.

The demos look like they shouldn’t be possible in a browser. Go look.

this is insane lol

japan is running out of monks... so they're training AI robots called "buddharoid" to replace them 😂 (im not joking):

- japan's temples are closing because fewer priests are available to run them + aging population

- the solution: chatgpt robots trained on 1000+ years of buddhist scripture that answer your spiritual questions

- the robot even sits in religious prayer positions like an actual monk does.

you can literally have a conversation on life's deepest dilemmas with a robot as smart as the dalai llama

i cannot believe they're scaling these robots to run actual temples.

@LedderhofCamiel @JakeWolki I’ve been drinking it daily for a year now. It’s very safe, and very nutritious.

@ennui365 Correct. We are all sinners.

@wendelltalks I love it!

@ChrisMurphyCT Driving is a privilege. Owning a gun is a right.

@AmiriKing That’s a very weak human right there.

@Protestia I need to bath in Holy water after watching this.

Speaker Johnson: "I believe that scripture and the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raised up each of you and God has allowed us to be brought here to this specific moment in time."

You don't see too many politicians these days that talk about faith like this.

@BrockRiddickIFB I hope people are not this un-smart.
