In case it helps: https://coalton.app/

And a scripting version: https://smelter.app/


That is a very cool web app with lots of interesting examples and a good place to read code examples and be able to run them. I tried using the editor Mine written in Coalton. Coalton is a nice language project but I can’t get into it because I have been using Common Lisp since 1982, old habbits die hard.

Yes, that's the right idea.

It's less about browsers, and more about server/edge/local-agent runtimes.

Wasm lets you have

- sandboxing (untrusted actor code)

- clean snapshot/restore

- portability of actor across machines

If you don’t need those properties, then yes ... native is obviously the better choice


Yes, simply for local inference -- not much, native is the obvious choice.

The value would be in actor processes, where you can delegate inference without paying the 'copy tax' for crossing the sandbox boundary.

So, less "inference engine" and more "Tmux for AI agents"

Think pausing, moving, resuming, swapping model backend.

I scoped the post to memory architecture, since it was the least obvious part ... will follow up with one about the actor model aspect.


I'm a little confused what an actor process is. To me a process is inherently local?


Agree, maybe "changes the physics" was too strong, shared cpu/gpu memory is not new.

What is different then is the combination of

1. UMA memory (and yes, iGPU had this, pre-M1) 2. enough bandwidth / GPU throughput for local inference 3. straightforward `makeBuffer(bytesNoCopy:)` path

So, the novelty isn't the shared memory itself, but the whole chain lining up to make the Wasm linear memory -> Metal-buffer approach practical + performant enough.

(and not saying there's some Apple Silicon magic here either ... it'd work anywhere there was UMA and no-copy host-pointer path)


This is crazy impressive ... the kind of thing that should inspire one to do more, much more, than whatever "mere plumbing" one happens to be doing at the moment


this is exactly what i needed to read when i am starting a mini project to turn empty Chewy and Amazon boxes into a new cat maze for my bonded pair of shelter fearsome beasts

can i do something with a v1 raspberry pi and myriad idle laptops and gadgets. both Opus 4.7 and i have had enough of each other for a Caturday


Triggered door flaps that activate after a cat eats a treat, opening new section of maze.


thanks and i don't know why i got downvoted. there is a corporeal world. plus one of my critters figured out how to quasi open a cabinet she thinks can access food way above. just wait until she develops opposable thumbs


Tried mobile app, mobile website, desktop website

Cannot place an order to ship (!)


https://agambrahma.com -- linking out to places where my identity is spread out right now


Applied plasma physics (spheromaks, solitons, field topology) to UAP observations. Explains the "five observables" better than the spacecraft model ... though radar signatures and energy density remain problematic (!)

Speculative but grounded in real physics (I used ChatGPT/Gemini as thinking partners, then verified claims)


No one mentioned "Avatar MUD" ?

Sorry, couldn't help myself
