What it does

Tab switcher for Safari Used by those in a rush. Built with power users in mind. It was time Safari got a web extension that lets you move around tabs similar to how one does when using Chrome or Firefox.

    I like the tab-switching behaviour in Chrome/Firefox and wanted Safari to have something similar. Another wish of mine was for it to be a web extension that feels native to the browser vs an app extension that looks out of place.

    I am building a Safari Web Extension to switch tabs efficiently2022 · taptab.manibatra.xyz · ▲30

    I like the tab-switching behaviour in Chrome/Firefox and wanted Safari to have something similar.

  • ChatGPT▲1,643

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
