📢 Ruby on Rails on #WebAssembly, the full-stack in-browser journey: https://web.dev/blog/ruby-on-rails-on-webassembly. Fantastic article by @palkan in which he describes how to get a Ruby ♦️ on Rails blog running fully in the browser thanks to #Wasm.

📢 Scaling multithreaded #WebAssembly applications with mimalloc and WasmFS, by @kripken:

https://web.dev/articles/scaling-multithreaded-webassembly-applications?hl=en. If you have a multithreaded #Wasm application that does lots of allocations or uses files, then you may benefit greatly by using WasmFS and/or mimalloc. Usage in #Emscripten:

emcc -sWASMFS -sMALLOC=mimalloc

📢 New article on Chrome's built-in #WebAI effort: Best practices for AI session management with the Prompt API. This guide introduces best practices for session management with the Prompt API 🧠: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/ai-session-management. The demo was fun to put together and shows multiple independent AI sessions with the built-in AI model Gemini Nano in Chrome. It uses the Summarizer API to give each session a dynamic title.

Worked on a home improvement #DIY project yesterday and installed new thermostats that connect to WiFi and integrate with @homeassistant. I'm quite okay with cables and good enough with software, but I really am not great with drill hammers, so this will be the state of affairs until I find someone who is 🫥.

Just a quick FYI that I've given the

[#]WebAssembly website some love: https://webassembly.org/. It now supports dark mode 🌗 and I've updated some of the #Wasm content a little bit, mostly focusing on dead links, links that were redirects, etc. I've also gone through all the Issues and PRs on the accompanying GitHub repo, so we should be up for a fresh start: https://github.com/WebAssembly/website.

📖 If you really want to learn #WebAssembly from the ground up, https://learn-wasm.dev/ by Dominic Elm is for you. This isn't a practical course for compiling to #Wasm from your preferred programming language, but a theoretical course that teaches you to actually write and optimize Wasm by hand. It's a bit of a steep learning curve, but Dominic made it as enjoyable as possible by including an interactive widget including a debugger and memory inspector right into the course site.

It wasn't YouTube, but main Google. I fail to find the original story, but the conclusions of this blog post mention it: https://danluu.com/web-bloat/.

An excellent overview of the development in the world of #LLMs in the last year, put together by @simon in his "Things we learned about LLMs in 2024": https://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/llms-in-2024/. Remember the YouTube paradox where the engineers made the site faster, but globally overall load times went up because suddenly more people could use it? I wonder if something like this could happen with LLMs and the environmental impact of prompts: individual prompts get cheaper, but overall energy consumption goes up.
