I like painting and graphics! Prev: early engineer @figma and @dropbox.

A few weeks ago I tweeted a WebGL demo and some people asked how it works! I wrote about it here: https://t.co/CIKXq06Nul

@kanjun Oh whoa, congrats!

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@Alariko_ I'd love to ask you some follow-ups questions about this if you're open to it! Sent you a DM.

@jenny_wen omg that chunky knit bag is so cool

@dieworkwear I paint as a hobby and I spot AI images / paintings more frequently than friends who don't. That said, you can't know if you're finding all of them. Maybe the really good ones are bypassing your detector!

@cejetvole hi

@ericzakariasson @cursor_ai Changing the ⌘I shortcut has been really disruptive to me. Please consider adding a shortcut specifically for Edit!

@rsms > like having an expert human teacher help you understand how something works

Agree with your overall point and I've found it pretty useful for this! Particularly in domains where I'm new.

@jc__gr I love this. I got nerd sniped a while ago and built a similar demo. I decided not to make it real, so I'm glad to see someone else is doing it!

I went on a trip last week and built Cursor for spreadsheets! Here’s a demo video of it creating a layout and chart…

@wilfredjjames @zack_overflow Full response is too complex for a tweet but the first thing you said is approximately correct. The vast majority of performance sensitive stuff lives in C++ including rendering, layout, and data model.

@g3dots @zack_overflow Figma Desktop app uses electron! You can use electron well!

Operator vs Do Browser: which can play the Wikipedia game from Banana to Quantum Mechanics faster?

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@nimgaladh Whaaa, I love your work! Your profile says 3d, but it looks so painterly. Do you paint over renders?

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@jenny_wen Paintings!! 👀

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@jenny_wen @doji_com Coooool! Are they real pieces/outfits? Or is the goal to give you vibe inspo?

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@hanukafast Whhattt. They're not all supposed to be this good. When you do a page of drawings some of them are supposed to be bad! :P

@BusinessAfricaX Glad you like it!! There's a signup form on https://t.co/rkkY8WzZuG.

My friend @sawyerhood and I built an AI assistant for Chrome. It can do all sorts of tasks but - most importantly - it can extract recipes from long blog posts! AGI is finally here.

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@nickcammarata We are opposites! All coffee tastes the same to me but the range of goodness in pastries is biiiiiiiig.

[ryan @ryanjkaplan]

@eshear Seems like a condescending take, "not feeling X indicates unattractive trait A or unattractive trait B". Being generous, what's the most attractive reason someone might not be afraid of AGI?

@minordissent Conscientiousness requires mental overhead. I’ve become happier by being less conscientious; I’m more able to be present / in the moment.
