Halliday’s latest smart glasses feature a much-improved display

I first slipped on Halliday's original smart glasses at CES 2025. I was not a fan. The glasses had a tiny, movable display window embedded into the frame that was incredibly finicky to see, and my 30-minute demo left me with achy eyeballs. It was an interesting concept with terrible execution, especially compared to the […]

Firefox in WebAssembly

Firefox in WebAssembly This is absurdly cool: Puter compiled Firefox to WebAssembly such that the whole browser runs in another browser. Here's my blog, running in Firefox, running in WebAssembly, running in Chrome: They chose Firefox/Gecko because it has strong single-process support. The project used an estimated $25,000 worth of Claude Opus and Fable tokens, but took advantage of a Claude Max subscription plan so cost much less in actual dollars. The demo funnels all traffic over a WebSocket protocol (using the Wisp protocol ) through Puter's server - a requirement to get this kind of thing to work because code running in browsers can't open arbitrary network connections. (That proxying sounds expensive! The team had to scale the servers up to handle the traffic during the Hacker News conversation about the project.) Puter claim this supports end-to-end encryption and that looks to be true - I inspected the WebSocket messages and traffic to my own HTTPS site was encrypted whereas requests and responses to http://www.example.com/ were in cleartext. Here's the repo for firefox-wasm . theogbob/WebkitWasm is a similar project that compiles WebKit to WASM, but that one doesn't currently have an accessible online demo.

OpenAI's new prompting guide tells users to stop overthinking and start with the result

OpenAI has released a prompting guide for everyday users, not developers. Instead of rigid formulas, it suggests four optional building blocks: goal, context, format, and constraints. The core advice is simple: describe the result you want, not the steps to get there. It's the first time OpenAI covers both Chat and Codex in a single framework. The article OpenAI's new prompting guide tells users to stop overthinking and start with the result appeared first on The Decoder .

The fanfiction community is at war with AI — and itself

Over the past week, a new fanworks movement has kicked off, with the aim to root out authors using generative AI. But the detection methods being implemented are questionable, and any fanfic writer could be caught in the crossfire. Broad distaste around the use of Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools has long been a […]
