I've also been working on a `Path` implementation in #WebGPU. Still some literal rough edges. Currently working through miter and line joins. Lots more to do!

Man, Getting text to render cleanly in #WebGPU has been a real challenge. Ended up using a SDF font map, and ALOT of tweaking. The final key was using `fwidth`. Pretty happy with the current result.

I think part of the breakdown that folks outside of CA need to understand is we LIKE our diversity. These are our friends, our neighbors. They are parents trying to provide a better life for their kids. They make all our lives BETTER.

AI chat is coming soon to Ombre! It's not just "talk to your data". My aim is to have it be more a tool that you want to use, very much in the vein of "cursor for data science".

I am so excited about being able to define your own UI inside a project! Really opens up so many possibilities.
Beta will be released soon, I promise! Head over to Ombre.ai if you want to one of the first to try it out.

Copilot autocompletion is something that I've miss a lot while working in the Ombre code editor. Still a lot of work to do, but as far as AI goes, this is just the tip of the spear!

I very much assumed it would be possible to embed a website (ala iframe) into a powerpoint deck. It's utterly impossible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!

It's crazy to me how close the phrases "Salt of the Earth" and "Salting the Earth" are, but mean wildly different things.

My wife and I had to evacuate due to the Eaton Canyon fire last week. Usually I work from home, but where we are currently staying doesn't allow me to work. Would anyone have any leads on coworking/office space I could use for a bit in LA?

It's only when you have to write your own file versioning system that you realize how awesome something like git truly is.
