Where Your Code Runs
bastawhiz: It's really annoying that you can stop the globe from rotating. This also feels exactly like a Claude-built website, which is unsurprising.
g051051: Looks like they just updated it. Check under the globe.
flohofwoe: Plus a 1.8 MB Javascript file ;)...is this a JS shim to talk to web APIs like WebGL? For that it seems excessively big tbh. In Emscripten that's usually just a couple of KBytes.Result looks nice though :)
rcakebread: "36 cities so far. Every visit lights up your dot."You paid to patent this, whatever it is. How about more than two sentences to see what you're charging people for. I can't tell from the website's "About" page.Edit: Even the github link is a 404, I give up.
ianberdin: What do you sell? Names? Names for what? Site is kinda laconic…
ivanjermakov: Three.js alone is ~400KB uncompressed.
wolfejam: MCPaaS is trademarked. Nothing it patented.
Dwedit: WASM + Zig (even compiling C code) will make some really tiny WASM files with no dependencies. The problem is that you don't have a standard library, then your code gets really big as you add more of that in there.
topspin: It there some law that mandates all 3D globe renderings auto rotate and omit any way to stop it?
wolfejam: use the pause button below it
topspin: Thanks! I see that just got added.
wolfejam: use the pause button below it, zoom in/out, rotate too
picafrost: Looking at the website of the organization [1] of the author, linked at the bottom of the submitted link, I get serious Time Cube [2] vibes.I'm both fascinated and worried about what the internet will look like in five years.[1] https://www.faf.one/[2] https://web.archive.org/web/20150506055228/http://www.timecu...
eknkc: This is a completely baffling website but as far as I can tell, the 2.7 WASM thing is the MCP runtime this is marketing? The globe thing is independent of that, just showing there the MCP calls are running.
wolfejam: The 2.7KB Zig WASM binary is the scoring engine that runs on every request at Cloudflare's edge. The globe visualizes where those requests land. Two layers — compute at the edge, visualization in the browser.
wolttam: What in the slop? I have rarely seen so much of it concentrated across just a few domains
wolfejam: Fair point — globe.gl (Three.js) handles the 3D rendering client-side.The 2.7KB WASM is the server-side scoring engine — Zig-compiled, runs on every request at the Cloudflare edge. The globe visualizes where those executions happen.Two separate layers: WASM at the edge, JS in the browser.
flohofwoe: Ah ok, might have made more sense to link to the about page tbh, but that probably would have looked too obviously like an advertisement ;)
wolfejam: just trying to show the zig-wasm binary and CF edge :)
wolfejam: thanks for visiting — the globe just crossed 100 cities - Appreciate the feedback. Happy Sunday :)
