Most models get worse when you ask them why they did something. The scary part? So do we. Explaining thought is a separate skill from having it.

We talk a lot about reasoning vs. knowledge, but the real frontier is awareness. Prompt for introspection and see how different the outputs feel.

The illusion of competence in LLMs often comes from coherence, not correctness. If it sounds smart and ends with a period, we call it knowledge.

Some people think Safari is “just another browser.” But in reality, WebKit handles memory pressure, power efficiency, and rendering optimizations others skip. Mobile-first performance isn’t a feature, it’s a constraint we embraced.

I've been building a lightweight browser from scratch with built-in rewards for users as a personal side project. No trackers, no bloat. Just speed, privacy, and real value back to the people.

Soon! The browser's ready to roll, I'm just figuring out where to source the rewards. I've found a few interesting paths but still exploring the best option.

If you're using will-change, please do so intentionally. You're telling the browser to prepare a layer in advance. Misusing it creates memory bloat and hurts performance more than it helps.
