If you define a standard ABI in the host, then you can support interpreted languages. JS—for example—could use QuickJS, and Python could use CPython enabling the imports and exports to be generated against the defined ABI.
I’ve written quite a few systems that support WebAssembly plugins and I’ve never used a plugin library.
It always felt easier to just write the plugin code manually. Over the last 12-months it’s just gotten easier.
If you want a fast loop, I’d recommend that direct approach these days.
I spent an absurd amount of time trying to find an adaptive solution to this that wouldn’t require preprocessing.
Hell of a rabbit hole to go down.
I call back at my convenience.
No bombardments with messages, and I only use the web versions of tools if possible, including Google Meet, Teams, and Slack, so no notifications there.
Essentially nothing breaks my focus. I choose when to be distracted.
I’ve scheduled and contextual focus modes on all devices, and rarely have notifications enabled on anything.
Even phone calls don’t come through if it’s during work time, and otherwise if the number isn’t in a group in my address book, of which there is currently only one person.
Do you think that Europe should bargain away its digital sovereignty to appease Trump and the broligarchy? Strong majorities in Germany, France, and Spain are against that (YouGov).
@coricrider.com and I have a better plan:

it feels important to keep saying: SPA as an app framework default (and not an opt-in feature) was a mistake
The promise is easy. Over a year of prototyping gives me confidence that the destination is feasible.
Shared protocols is critical to making this work, as is a very modular, open framework for building the worlds.
Enjoying building tools from scratch in an effort to reshape how the digital tech industry develops.
rai.onl is another pillar forming a set of foundational tools that I hope provides more responsible alternatives in the future.
Projects are in Git repositories with CI for building and CD for deploying with separate workflows for each.
When deployed to registries (e.g. crates, NPM, JSR, Harbor) they are tagged and can be picked up when versions are bumped.
Every project has a composer. The composer program follows these steps:
- ensures resources are available
- copies itself over SSH
- disables SSH access
- provisions workloads (e.g containers)
100% automation to avoid repeating mistakes.
I’ve been slow burning a modular and composable AI agent toolkit for WebAssembly as an alternative to some well used Python projects.
Anything in that space is interesting.
Researchers and engineers are not meant to exist in the future techbros and C-level is envisaging.
Just cheap agents automatically churning out homogenous bloat.
Would help if folk stopped asking product teams, “where’s the AI?” rather than focusing on the features and capabilities.
When I work on product strategy or tech projects I also avoid the term. It’s largely irrelevant.
I’ve taught AI development to software engineers for 15-years, as I think will inevitably be as fundamental and invisible as applying databases or forms when needed.
Another: stochastic neural network, with convolutional and recurrent neural network layers. Fundamentally a family of deep neural network models for prediction.
A bot that replies to every “AI is bad” post with a legitimate use case might save me from having to read these ill informed takes.
For now, a single legitimate use: tropical cyclone prediction.

How are we defining AI? Neural networks, deep learning, etc. We’ve been applying it to vehicle safety, disease prevention, and the climate emergency for over a decade, invisibly.
Your novelty consumer app is not the most useful or valuable use of AI, certainly.
Google threatens to pull apps from Play if they don’t receive updates within 12 months.
Building a stable service and having a feature-complete app is fundamentally shaped to be a bad thing.
Yes, I just had an account with several apps closed. They won’t reopen it once they deactivate.
Banner for the MyData conference in 2025, in Helsinki held on the 24th to the 26th of September. The speaker advertised is P J Łaszkowicz, the Director of Technology Strategy at Omnifi Foundation.
In September I’ll be giving a special talk at the @mydataorg.bsky.social conference on zero-compromise privacy-preserving AI, using private data spaces, able to run anywhere.
No cloud, no surveillance, no theft.
Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team is right, we need to stop thinking of social media as a zero-sum game that platforms are “winning” or “losing.”
Why not measure friendships, or genuine connection? We need to rethink what we value in our online tools for socializing.
As a teenager I’d have penpals all over the world. I keep thinking I should do this again.
The slow pace and wait is as enjoyable as receiving the letter.
The consideration taken in responding is meditative.
Maybe I should just add a significant delay to my email server. 😁
For offline analysis it could be a fun time to try out SurrealDB instead. I replaced a few neo4j use cases with it.
According to information from ~5 years ago some providers were hosting 7 million non-federated accounts, so it definitely should be capable at this point, considering the significant improvements made to the homeservers since then.
It largely depends on the provider and the implementation. Some struggle with large numbers, especially when federated.
AFAIK some Matrix implementation providers have hit 2 million accounts.
Thanks, I’ll take a look. 🙏
Is any open solution being looked at?
Managed hosting isn’t an issue as there are plenty of options out there built on open solutions, which would help to reduce the risk of this situation coming around again.
If the community needs support in moving to an open platform, such as a Matrix-based solution, then happy to jump in and help with the transition.
I read the article.
My point was to simply state that the idea of suggesting regenerative braking was in any way part of it is nonsense.
Whether that legitimately came from the examiner or the student.
Almost all modern cars have “regenerative braking” these days—and have done for years—so this makes no sense.
