To me it just sounds like we need an even higher level language for these sort of 'software for one' apps. There is still tons of boilerplate. Declarative is king.

Please stop calling it an 'OS'. It's just Android with a few custom components.

If you automate the creation of software, you essentially can automate almost any white-collar job.

well, you've got endless "integration testing" in the form of 3rd party software for Windows. More reliable than any specification, considering Windows itself is a patchwork of workarounds to not break backward-compatibility.

Ah yes, the eternal truth of "looks matter". It translates to almost everything imaginable, not just people's appearance.

Let's strip all strings then before analysis? to prevent prompt injections and such.

I'd say it's different this time, because LLM can form and substantiate opinions of their own, on their own. You could actually assume you have the full source code of any binary for it to analyze, since in theory everything is de

Whatever findings they come up with, must be formalized to avoid non-determinism. Draft an integration test of every finding. The malicious extension makes calls to haxx0r.net? Draft a case in your integration test that intercepts this.

The idea of emulating a lightweight Alpine Linux in the browser to make this work, without overengineering don't-know-what custom niche solution is definitely intriguing. I wonder how much work would it be to port a given Linux USB dri

In the age of LLMs, vetting can even be done in a CI/CD. What's the big deal?

Is there no setfenv-like functionality in JavaScript (setfenv is Lua's way to set a sandboxed execution environment)? That's surprising. TIL.

Is this a trick question? Of course. However Apple imposed artificial limitations, like disabling JIT.

So is it 5 minutes or 30 seconds then? And yes, you're missing out. Docker images come in layers, which may or may not change depending on your release, and may or may not be shared across services.

Not mentioned in the article, but the latest generation Xbox and PlayStation run completely custom firmware with their own proprietary boot chains, and locked-down hardware. So much for the "uniform" x86-64 "ecosystem".

...which is an extension of x86, the same way AArch64 is an extension of ARM.

I wonder if this is the future of "I need to run my legacy Windows enterprise app on modern hardware"? I suppose we're also not limited to WinNT look and feel, and can render dialogs, buttons, windows with any CSS framework?

I wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't look organic at all. Guess it's the quality of Hacker News these days: blog spam.

Not HTMX but Alpine.js has been a complete revelation to me. What clicked for me was that you're enhancing server-rendered HTML, not replacing it. Need a dropdown menu? Add x-data="{ open: false }" and you're done. Want
