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

You meet someone new on Apple Vision Pro. Face to face. 2 minutes. That’s the idea behind AuraTap, a new app. If there’s a mutual vibe, you keep going. If not, you’re on to the next. I love how quickly you can meet people, make connections, and explore each other’s profiles. It also features one of the most beautiful UX designs I’ve tried on visionOS. Everything feels incredibly polished. The app launches this Friday, March 27. They’re hosting an in app launch party this Friday at 1PM PDT. Hope you can make it.

"One total gram" per bottle? This has to be complete nonsense, right?! There's no way... Consensus from hard measurements (Wikipedia 2025 update: 13 mg or 0.013g per 1L bottle; Manhattan Gold & Silver refinery lab test: ~0.01g; Flickr analytical balance filtration: 12.9 mg; multiple Reddit math threads & independent YouTube extractions: consistently 10–13 mg range) locks it in at micrograms to low milligrams max. Even the most inflated old claims top out around one tenth (100 mg)—nowhere near 1 full gram. A single gram? That's ~77–100 bottles worth of gold pooled together (using generous 13 mg figure). At today's gold spot (~$80–$100/g), 1g recovers maybe $80–$100... but you'd blow $2,000–$4,000+ on liquor first (bottles ~$25–$40). "Infinite glitch" collapses into massive net loss faster than a bad bet. Viral shorts/TikToks flashing "1g" piles? Clickbait sleight-of-hand: undisclosed multi-bottle combos, bad scale tricks, or pure fabrication. No verified single-bottle extraction ever hits even 0.1g reliably, let alone 1g. It's edible glitter for show—pretty, harmless, but worth literal cents per shot. Filter for the 'gram flex if you must, but chasing grams is a fool's errand that'll leave you broke and sticky. What's fool-proof? Pour one, enjoy the shimmer, move on.

Headphones that are so much more than just headphones! The new AirPods Max 2 have even better audio, even better ANC, and even better features like Adaptive Audio and Live Translation.

The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃@startupideaspod·
Here's my workflow for reverse-engineering any creator's style using AI: I feed a 65-second video to an AI agent with one prompt "Break down the style, transcribe the script, and give me a replication plan." It came back with a full creative playbook: Step 1: Define your concept hook — One sentence, explainable in under 10 seconds — Must have a visual payoff you can show immediately Step 2: Film your talking head — Dark room, RGB lighting, shoot vertical — Hold your project in your hands during every shot Step 3: Capture 3 types of B-roll — Macro shots of hardware and components — Screen recordings of your creative process — Product reveal in natural light near a window Step 4: Build your VFX explainers — Simple line art with glow effects on pure black — After Effects for control, CapCut for speed Step 5: Design a typography system — Main title card, section headers, word-by-word captions — Define all three before you start editing Step 6: Edit to a 5-act structure — Hook → Conflict → Build → Resolution → CTA It nailed the typography, lighting, music tempo, even the emotional arc. One video in. Full style guide out. Do this for 10 creators you admire. Mix what you like from each. That's how you build your own style.

Robot is moving much better and smarter now by scanning its environment. I feel like I'm getting closer to releasing the first public TestFlight. Built entirely with RealityKit and ARKit ⚙️

Sardo is now available on Apple Vision Pro. A little robot you control that lives in your room and actually understands your space. Walks around your furniture. Hides behind objects. Feels incredibly real.

Interesting finding. My HRV baseline is ~30–32 ms. I checked my historical Apple Health data and saw a big peak in March 2022. Then I looked at my photos from that time. That period I was: • starting an MIT Design Thinking course • studying Chinese • building an electric surfboard as a hobby • working a full 9–5 job I even bought a little bonsai tree to take care of (it sadly died 🥲). What’s interesting is that my HRV was highest when I was doing the most things. Which makes me think productivity isn’t about stress — it’s about stress resilience and a relaxed nervous system. HRV might be one of the most underrated metrics for understanding that.

Been using agentic coding since GPT-2 and I'm dead certain that these huge performance jumps influencers will try to sell you on X are a mix of confirmation bias, Dunning Kruger, and genius marketing. Models are constantly improving but the "everything changed November last year when model XYZ was released" narrative is just wrong. Your imagination changed more than the models did.

I believe web apps are finally at a point where they can start taking over from native apps, and since PWAs support push notifications, web mobile haptics and what else might be missing?

After what I’ve seen recently, I am now updating my prediction for the arrival of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) to sometime in 2028 from 2030. ASI as defined by Nick Bostrom: intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field.

@robsimmermon @mntruell Take atoms, they have just a simple deterministic manner of binding together, but when they layer up, you get these complex machines that created other machines that are just autocomplete and we will see what that autocomplete is capable of when it gets complex enough.

@mntruell I am always annoyed when people refer to things as being AI when it's not really AI. Autocomplete was not the first wave of AI. That is simply index searching for words/phrases from a known set, and showing you what could possibly complete what you're typing. Not AI.
