ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Imagine a browser where you type in β€œTaylor Swift” and it doesn’t even admit that her website exists. I write about Atlas, ChatGPT’s new anti-web browser that should come with a warning label. www.anildash.com/2025/10/22/a...

What if you split up the requirements? Reactivity can be done through something like preact signals. And for not steamrolling the DOM… D3 perhaps?

Can confirm. Playwright MCP works great, especially with its ability to read the browser console. I use Augment Code (I work there) and the agent just starts adding console logs and then can see what’s happening by itself.

Wonderful to receive this utterly beautiful 3D printed diorama of "Snow's map of cholera" by @alexselbyb.bsky.social. Exceptional attention to detail. Simply stunning. Dare I say better than the original! Thanks Alex.

✨ It's new samwho visual essay o'clock! ✨

Reservoir sampling is one of my favourite algorithms. It allows you to sample from a set without knowing the size of that set.

I try to assume no prior knowledge, and use no scary math notation. Just beautiful visuals.

Let me know what you think! ❀️

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I wrote a short interactive articleπŸ‘†

It uses simulations to demonstrate how different cardiac arrhythmias can develop.

Try it out! (It has defibrillators ⚑️)

Geeked to see RJ Andrews @infowetrust.com talk about his work and celebrate the launch of his remastered book Info We Trust at @letterformarchive.org! An essential read for thinking about data storytelling (and recommended for you too, comics peeps!)

I'm releasing a new latent space explorer 🧭🎨 β€” a creative tool for generating and evolving images.

It's tree-based and designed for creative flow and open-ended discovery, using image mixing, branching, and editing.

You can try it out now!

Here's a striking visualization of sea level rise that I just made for Key West FL, which has a 112-year history.
The colors indicate the number of hours each day that the water level was above the mean high tide (1983-2001 mean).
I show five months of the year, centered on "King Tide season". 🌊

"The spectre of AI does nothing for growth if it gives away what we own so that we can rent from it what it makes." - that's some extremely skilled political rhetoric, really great speech writing

(Prior to the Lords she had a long career as a film director in the UK, which I think shows)

Remarkable chart by @data.ft.com
Many readers won't fully understand boxplots. At a quick glance, they don't add much information here. But then, look at the lower end of the 2024 whisker (or 2015 for the previous El NiΓ±o)!
Also: I just love the aesthetic 🀩 #dataviz

You might think of it as β€œhow long is the mechanical part loop until we get feedback that’s experiential again?” - and right now it is a lot

So much of our visualization tools, especially the most versatile one, require multiple steps that are about being precise for the machine’s sake, before we get a glimpse of the experience we’re after. Then it’s splunking in machine language again

I enjoyed your thread. I find myself in RJ’s shoes - wanting to drive the car. Responding to your point about the β€œlanguage of the car”, the difference is that driving the car aligns with a human centered feedback loop. We turn, we move, the feedback comes back through vision and motion

On some of my pages, I'll share state between interactive diagrams. Here's an example: the position of the square in the first diagram is the same as the position in the second diagram.

I do this when I want to compare two computations with the same input.
