Responsiveness and interface latency is something I’ve been passionate about for decades. The fact that you’re always working on old input data in a web browser—in any windowed app, really—is unfortunate when you want to create something that feels snappy and responsive.

Neat! Seeing the prediction visualization reminded me of this drawing tools with predicted paths

(it's very interesting how the "feel" of this pen with realtime predictions is totally different from this pen with 200ms predictions, which is totally different from this pen with 2500ms predictions… it's so fertile making discrete systems continuous!) twitter.com/andy_matuschak

No, the system-level temporal touch prediction is something you have to op into with a special API, or at least it was as of a couple years ago. Was added for drawing (i.e. Pencil). The scroll view predictive stuff simply didn't "feel" enough better to justify the complexity.
