@wongmjane Sorry to hear!

[Jeff Whelpley @jeffwhelpley]

Listening to the Chrome leadership team talk about AI and the web

@Paul_Kinlan @sarah_edo

[Chandu Thota @ChanduThota]

We agree :)

[Sameer Samat @ssamat]

@micetor Not happening! Y'all are wild. 😂

[Paul Bakaus @pbakaus]

here's @davis7 talking about his journey with @impeccable_ai (starting around 1:14:00), in a great episode with @theo that covers software bundled as skills. very worth a watch. thanks for the shoutout!

So many parallels with how graphics stack evolved (with xserver and xclient) model with what's happening with AI tools today.

Almost all AI harnesses are simple "clients" which shuttles the request to a server running on the cloud GPU.

xclient <-> xserver :: harness <-> llm

Jon from @asianometry and Tim (@tculpan) has a new podcast on supply chain, and nobody knows about it?

[Malte Ubl @cramforce]

@aidenybai All the people who say "tracking" are wrong. It's easy to understand why there is no data to be had when looking at the implementation.

It's just cheap enough to run that nobody gave a shit while Google benefits from the Internet looking nice

[Orion Reed @OrionReedOne]

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not for flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — tiny example: it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms.

Some of us lived through the Twitter failwhale era and what's happening with Anthropic is the modern day version of it

They'll pull through and we'll look back at this time with warm feelings.

No ruby to scala migration this time though.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Awesome to see! Let's replace the Alacritty core with libghostty-rs. If there are any shortcomings in the libghostty API I'll address them immediately.

I know some view Ghostty as competitive to Warp at a GUI level, but the goal was always to empower other terminal apps via libghostty and there was no other vehicle to get that out than to build a GUI too (similar to Alacritty and their vte crate).

I don't think I've ever talked negatively about Warp online (except maybe the login thing they fixed ages ago), I've always respected that they're trying something different.

I know Warp has moved on to being a much bigger vision than "just" a terminal, but let's modernize that terminal core. :)

An underrated part of rejoining Google is the fact that your stuff is still there, frozen in time. "What's the value in seeing your old calendar?" you ask... Well, for silly sentimental things like when I put a reminder to myself for my first date with the woman who would become my wife, for example. Or the time off taken for my wedding, honeymoon, and the birth of my kids. It's like I never left. I'm not crying, I'm just chopping onions for a lasagne for one...

[Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane]

Not me being featured as a jester who messes around Cloudflare’s feature flags 💀

[Sara Mauskopf @sm]

Claude is down! Time to switch to Allbirds!

[Jeffrey Jose @jeffjose]

Good one. No notes.

[Tanay Padhi @tanaypadhi]

how did Allbirds pivot to AI compute hardware before the shoe company literally called ASICS

[Jeffrey Jose @jeffjose]

I still cant a reasonable replacement for my beloved X1 Nano Gen 1. Its a shame that Lenovo only did 3 generations of the series.

X1 Carbon is 14 inch, and it is a touch bigger than what I want (for reference, Nano is 13)

[Emil Kowalski @emilkowalski]

Al produces motion that works, but feels mediocre, and if you can't tell the difference, you'll ship it. You'll settle for good enough, and that's not good enough.

Train Your Judgement

@jnack oh yay. welcome back!

[Paul Bakaus @pbakaus]

100%. Many of us on the jQuery team specifically worked to anti-gatekeep the web (that was 100% my motivation to start jQuery UI).

Before jQuery, the discourse was “web designers can’t build websites”. We thought that was stupid and everyone should be able to build websites. Some devs predictably hate on jQuery for exactly this reason, but I’m proud of what we achieved.

🎉 Android is now the fastest mobile platform for web browsing!

The latest flagship Android devices have set new performance records in web benchmarks Speedometer and LoadLine. Speedometer simulates real-world user actions to measure web app responsiveness, while LoadLine simulates the complete process of loading a website.

Good web performance matters even if you aren't browsing the web directly in Chrome, as over >90% of Android apps use WebView to show some web content.

As a result of the optimizations the Chrome and Android teams made in collaboration with SoC and OEM partners, page loads are 4-6% faster and high-percentile interactions 6-9% faster on these newer flagship devices, for real users in the field.
