They've absolutely both changed. The initial version I saw didn't include max effort data points on the first chart, and the plot itself was much less favorable to Sonnet at high/xhigh relative to Opus, but the new chart show

It's a silent technology, but I'd argue it has broken through in that most of us already use it daily without knowing. Figma, Google Sheets, Disney+, Prime Video, and much more all have WebAssembly somewhere in their stack.

Can you say more about what specific things you tripped over with Starling, and which bank you moved to? Worried I'll find myself in the same boat. It does seem like Starling has gone out of their way twice to exempt GrapheneOS from th

Step 5.2; the browser binds the KB-JWT to the site it's on, so Site A would receive a JWT that is only valid for Site A.

I largely agree, but I still think there's a compelling argument that blinding the issuer implicitly precludes API gatekeeping or censorship. Sites wouldn't need to pre-register with any issuer, nor could the issuer refuse to prov

The key mitigation is that the protocol - as envisioned - is mediated by the user agent; you as a website cannot silently fire off probes that tell you anything.

The Verified Email Protocol got renamed to BrowserID, and Persona was its reference implementation. This looks broadly similar to that, but with some newer primitives (SD-JWT) and a focus on autocomplete as an entrypoint to the flow. If I r

My understanding from looking into this two years ago is that it's hit or miss for banks (depending on if they opt into device attestation stuff), no for NFC / Google Wallet, and yes for Uber / Lyft. Apparently the common wor

For me, it was the challenge and allure of doing something relatively difficult and rare. The first time I saw a Stop - Prevent Your Death sign[0] at depth, I knew I wanted the training to go beyond it. It's also really peaceful underg

I found Florida's caves positively delightful at 21 C; never felt the need to dive dry. I am envious of the speleothems in Yucatán cenotes. Florida's caves are all phreatic, so you don't get any real decoration beyond scall

I disagree that LLMs are comparable to a higher level language or framework since the fundamental output it still at the same level of abstraction. This isn't C to Python, it's Python to more Python faster.

Same branch as beta, but with different build flags. Add-ons don't need to be signed to be installed on DevEdition, there's a DevTools button in the toolbar by default, etc.

FxOS at its height was an absolutely huge resource and personnel commitment; I seem to recall it being half of MoCo, maybe more. Mark Mayo, then SVP Firefox, was quoted in a 2017 interview with Walt Mossberg: > Mayo says [FirefoxOS] too

I think it's worth jumping in. Fifteen years ago, it wasn't clear whether Git, Mercurial, or Bazaar would win, but it was evident that something fundamental had forever changed in revision control systems. Nix feels similar, but f

Edge and Safari have had vertical tabs for years; when the default browsers on Windows and macOS offer that affordance, it becomes more of a mainstream parity issue. Which is thankfully, finally, being addressed.

IMHO, it's still a few years a early for pure-play Wasm solutions, though Fermyon is doing exceptional work to manifest that future. My hope is that Unit can offer a pragmatic bridge: run your existing applications as-is, and when you

Hi! I'm currently in charge of Unit. If you're using it, I'd love to chat with you to understand what sucks, what doesn't, and what's missing. I have my own ideas, but external validation is always nice. :) Contact

Absolutely keep your load balancer for multi-node scaling, but how are you going to run you WebAssembly workloads within a given node? Unit can do that. Or what if you have a single logical service that's composed of a mix of Wasm en
