Are you interested in programming UIs that make programs feel more dynamic and alive? Join us at LIVE, the research workshop about live programming! (submissions due July 7) liveprog.org Personal backstory on why LIVE matters to me: Back in 2018 I was starting to…
This AI/UX meetup was amazing last year and is happening again this weekend, you should submit a demo! Sadly can’t make it out in person this year but will be stopping in remotely and excited to see what people are building.

@geoffreylitt @aboodman Maybe use some eyes on a stick so you can get up close.
I made this last weekend to experiment w/ building an app end to end on LLMs: vibecheck.market It's like Wirecutter, but uses an LLM to recommend product choices based on reddit conversations and reviews, so you don't have to spend 20-30min reading reddit My experience:…
@geoffreylitt I was more of a cofounder but I’ve stuck with it. It’s been great to watch your arc. Good luck this year
Rereading the "Direct manipulation vs. interface agents" debate from Shneiderman and Maes in light of the capabilities of today. Although the conversation took place over 25 years ago, there's still a lot of wisdom in here. Designers working with AI should take note.
I’ve interviewed hundreds — probably more than a thousand — writers on their work flows. When demoing ButterDocs, there’s this one thing that everybody loves: the stash.
So happy to defend my PhD thesis and couldn't have done it without a 1 of 1 advisor @david_sontag and an incredible committee @erichorvitz @arvindsatya1 @roboticwrestler
Congratulations to Dr. Hussein Mozannar. @HsseinMzannar Strong dissertation research exploring multiple dimensions of human-AI collaboration. @david_sontag @roboticwrestler @arvindsatya1 @MIT
@geoffreylitt Transactions work well for controlling how much/little glitchiness is acceptable. I.e. it reduces glitches to precise read-write conflicts when evaluating isolated transactions in parallel. Glitches are observable only insofar as stare is maintained asynchronously.
@geoffreylitt This is precisely what Flapjax was designed to address automatically! CC @tonofcrates
No one has invited me to Hereticon for refusing to embrace AI. I find this very suspicious
@geoffreylitt I made a demo for you stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vi… Your desired behaviour is the default behaviour with suspense. You can opt into different behaviours using transitions and useDeferredValue
@geoffreylitt Your example is not even the worst possible scenario because it's (strongly) eventually consistent. In practice, you could have async computations taking random times and you could end-up with a smaller value than the final input*2.
@geoffreylitt OK this was a shitpost but it's also kind of true and might be interesting? Engraft uses synchronous dataflow of promises. Analogue is using useMemo to define doubledPromise in terms of number. Then doubledPromise is always in sync with number, tho it might be unresolved.
"The amount of serendipity that will occur in your life is directly proportional to the degree to which you do something you're passionate about combined with the total number of people to whom this is effectively communicated."
@geoffreylitt I would generally go with a generation counter incremented with each input and stored with the result. If the current result’s generation is less than the latest, you know you have stale data. You can pull that out to a useLatest hook relatively easily.
If we’re going for this “an OS for ______” metaphor for the future of computing, where in the metaphor is composability/interop/malleability? In a world where everything is an OS, how can they be combined, moulded, etc? Why will they not become the new silos?
