Love it!

Question for HN: I've seen more and more of these interactive explainers popping up recently. Given these are far more approachable to build due to LLM capabilities (e.g. Claude artifacts, open generative UI, etc.), what is the community reaction around having a product tailored for creating and distributing these experiences?

I've been experimenting over the past 6 months with interactive educational materials and curious on the community sentiment around this topic.

Super well stated and interesting point regarding (general) privacy.

I miss the days where Mozilla (Firefox) was known to be the "fastest browser." It worked and such an easy transition for users (including myself) who were tired of the bloated browser experience.

Very cool and thanks for sharing. As you explore more cool experiments with WebGPU, be sure to submit the ones that would be a good feature to WebGL.com / WebGPU.com

I love all the work that Bruno puts out there. His design and engineering skills are next level.

There are so many talented creatives using WebGL/WebGPU that I've recently launched WebGL.com / WebGPU.com, where I'm dedicated to bring together the community of creatives (designers, coders, AI/ML, etc.) pushing the boundaries of the web.

Would love to see what you would like to see (e.g. tutorials, demos, etc.)

Useless but fun way to send messages to friends (e.g. during the holidays): https://github.com/webgl/fireworks-text

This. A friend recommended it and it was SUPER insightful

I recently went through two books: (1) Fortune's Formula and (2) A Man for All Markets. They both impressed upon me a deep appreciation for Shannon's brilliant mind.

Curious if there are any great resources/books you'd recommend on Information Theory.

well played

I'd love to learn more if you have any benchmarks or takeaways.

Can you elaborate further on what you have in mind here?

This resonates with what I've observed: I've asked several close family members and friends (between 16-22) what's troubling them and the most common answer is that they feel they're behind in life. They feel that they must already be driving an exotic car, surrounded by tons of potential partners, and at the top of their game—I assume these expectations are set by the content they consume and interact with on a daily basis.

For those not familiar with C4, this is a great video explaining the concepts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2-rSnhpw0g

If you're interested in learning about 2/3D graphics and then applying it to build a 3D graphics engine—similar to something like THREE—check out my book: https://www.amazon.com/Real-Time-Graphics-WebGL-interactive-...

Care to share more? Would love to see how it's being leveraged in that space

Not exclusive to philosophy but a strong emphasis within philosophy is the focus on developing the ability to:

- Intelligently entertain various perspectives

- Effectively imagine "possible worlds" where positions may be held or refuted

- Formalize language and all of its "fuzzy" characteristics into clear positions

- Hypothesize generalizations and abstractions to map across domains

- Think from first principles and explore their logical conclusions in conceptual and foreign territories

These were my big takeaways from philosophy undergrad and I find them increasingly important in my various technical careers.
