Exactly this. And there are few bigger targets than Chrome when it comes to finding exploits (OSes and network equipment are probably on par). I'm sure they have devoted large compute resources and human staffing at making sure that th

I completely agree. With everything from Out-Of-Order execution, deep pipelines, SIMD, huge CPU cache, etc... I would be surprised if the performance increase is not considerably more than 1024x.

I'd prefer if it just used the system webview rather than downloading and managing an embedded browser itself. Webview2 on Windows for example.

You're not wrong - I see about 10 of these a day driving around. And that's a car model that is only about a year old. It's selling like hot cakes.

I see this slightly differently. Before, if I wanted to be able to do something like flash firmware onto some device I would have to download some random C++ application and install and run it on my local machine. As well as having access t

I really like the minimal approach you've taken here - it's refreshing to see this built completely from the ground up and it's clearly readable and for me, very educational. But help me understand something. BarraCuda does i

So, this certainly was a valid argument. But it seems to me that the whole value proposition behind these agentic AI coding tools is to be able to move beyond this. Are we very far from being able to define some Figmas and technical specs a

It's possible to build an identity system that can assert certain properties about a person (eg. "older than 16") without revealing any other details about that person. Similarly, it's also possible to build such a syste

It's interesting to think that Google's Antigravity is a forked version of MSFT's VS Code, which uses a browser engine built by Google, which they forked from Apple, which they forked from KHTML.

I would have expected that consumer GPUs still have higher volume, but that Datacenter GPUs have much, much higher margin and therefore significantly higher revenue and profit. Is that not the case?

It also seems like a really bad decision from Slack's POV. 1) They should know that this is unaffordable for a nonprofit like this. By doing this, they will almost certainly lose them and their thousands of aspiring teenage developers

Enterprise customers often have split tunnel VPNs or proxies (with PAC configs) where part of the traffic may go through a VPN and another part goes directly. So for example a customer admin might configure an app that does email and webRTC

I agree on a level that SQLIte is a master class in testing and quality. However, considering how widely used it is (essentially every client application on the planet) and that it does get several memory safety CVEs every year there is som

I don't think dual core was that rare in 2007. Conroe was released the year before. For gamers, dual core was the standard at that point (at least from what I remember of the time).

I believe the impl you link to is not fully standards compliant, and has an approximate soln. MSFT's one is totally standards compliant and it is a very different beast: https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob&#

Well, maybe at an API and prompt level. But if Google pull ahead in this space then you may become dependent on what it alone can do functionally. Even if you can trivially switch LLM and prompt, if the others aren't able to do somethi
