great question. data source: https://aella.substack.com/p/my-birthday-gangbang

the diagram is calculated with d3-sankey & rendered with imgui. you can stretch that window however you want—ok, enough.

edit: the original steam-engine sankey diagram created a far stronger emotional reaction in me. the aella chart is just more modern, i guess?

i am waiting for someone to surpass the original steam engine sankey diagram: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JIE_Sankey_V5_Fig1.p...

> The [next.js] developer experience is top-notch.

let me add my own unqualified statement to that: no.

> Next.js has invested heavily in Turbopack but if you want to deploy it to Cloudflare, Netlify, or AWS Lambda, you have to take that build output and reshape it into something the target platform can actually run.

it's almost as if vercel had some kind of financial incentive to gear this towards their own platform.

> reimplemented the Next.js API surface on Vite directly

a clown car screeches to a halt; several burnt-out-bored oracle vs google lawyers climb out and, weirdly, i am there for it

all in all, it's definitely a good example of something we couldn't have done for $1100 pre-llms, but: should we have? did somebody consult the lava lamps?

WIP: https://seidt.quest/s/dampf/

it uses a lightly modified @mori2003/jsimgui[1] and renders to webgpu. i can change that to webgl2 if anyone's browser fails because of that.

the fonts actual fonts appear to be tahoma and verdana. however, my imgui bindings couldn't bake the fonts at a specific size.

what i found interesting is running msiextract[2] on the above linked steam.msi revealed a TrackerScheme.res file with exact RGBA colors and layout configuration (borders, scrollbars, etc) for many widgets.

there's a lot left in there but i need to climb out of this hole for now. have fun!

that early steam UI aesthetic has sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole...

https://archive.org/details/steam_10-08-2004

a rabbit hole, at the end of which is an imgui theme, and me was^H^H^Hspending entirely too much time extracting actual fonts, color codes and other minuscule details.

what's better, i have absolutely no issue with that theme being my new default!

keep in mind that people who point out a regression and measure the actual #tok, which costs $money, aren't just "being loud" — someone diffed session context usaage and found 4.6 burning >7x the amount of context on a task that 4.5 did in under 2 MB⁣.

check out raylib, it should be amazing for this :)

sounds reasonable to me. i've been wondering about encoding detailed AI disclosure in an SBOM.

on a related note: i wish we could agree on rebranding the current LLM-driven never-gonna-AGI generation of "AI" to something else… now i'm thinking of when i read the in-game lore definition for VI (Virtual Intelligence) back when i played mass effect 1 ;)
