Of course they are "reading user prompts" in the sense that it's being used to further training. That's why you have to pay up to opt out of that. That's also why they refused to answer that question: the answer is

How many of those are false positives though? Probably just over 5000? You get bug bounties if you report the kind of bugs Mythos identified. There's a reason no-one collected bounties from the "5000 defects" Coverity identif

I think that if you hit the crash in the same line of code many times, you can safely assume it's your own bug and not a memory issue. If it's only hit once by a random person, memory starts being more likely. (Unless that LOC is

If the crash is isolated (no other reports) and flipping one bit in the crashing pointer value would make the pointer valid, it's assumed to be a bitflip. This obviously will only catch a minor portion of bitflips, i.e. any image or vi

If this were so all devs for apps, games, etc... would be talking about this but since this is the first time I'm hearing about this I'm seriously doubting this. But they have?

What's the expected behavior of a JavaScript program that allocates all memory on the machine?

Are there any small engines that have enough of the web implemented that they can run it?

Why would those need a lot of Rust dependencies then? If you want to hand-roll stuff, hand-roll! no_std is a thing because people use it.

Small companies with little development experience like Google and Mozilla. (You can check the files I linked and see audits between deltas for minor version updates)

The Tauri app just uses the system WKWebView. Memory usage can be misleading due to reporting, see e.g. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/5889

Yeah not sure how it qualifies as lightweight...

Ah yes, then the vendor goes out of business and they have to bring in highly paid consultants to fix bugs in the vendors' gcc 2.95/Linux 2.6.x port to their SoC. You need to be in the right kind of company - the one where waiting

FYI Google and Mozilla audit all their dependencies and share them: * https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/rus... * https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/supply

In C/C++ every project ends up with a hand coded replacement for those external dependencies that is less well written and infinitely less tested.

Firefox and Chrome (and thus Edge, Brave, OperaGX, etc etc) do the same for many allocations - it's safer to crash than to end up in an obscure failure path that never had its error handling exercised and may accidentally be security s

FhG and Dolby did eventually put up a list of patents you are licensing from them. It makes for some funny reading if you're familiar with the field. (This should not be construed as legal advice as to the validity of the pool)

by rockdoe 3y ago
Opus isn’t patent free The existence of a patent pool does not mean there are valid patent claims against it. But yes, you may be technically correct by saying "patent free" rather than "not infringing on any valid patent

It's not like putting that message there will stop those complaints, more like the opposite.

There's no reason sites from 2000 would no longer work, unless they use APIs that weren't properly standardized. I guess that's why it recommends Chrome. Hah.

>As a first step, I'd appreciate reducing the risk of javascript extracting contents from outside the browser. But that means essentially reserving a core for the browser only. I don't think that would be shippable by default.

by rockdoe 3y ago
The idea being that the main process and content processes should never be on the same core? I would worry about cross site leakage. From my understanding that would be unavoidable as soon as you have more tabs open than cores, which feels

although Opus is very nice, it's not as efficient ... as HE-AAC Uh, no, this is not correct. If you try to find a source, you'll easily find the opposite is very well established.

I can't tell whether you're kidding or not, but this is exactly the path Firefox was advocating: https://blog.karimratib.me/2022/04/23/firefox-webmidi.html The page implies it no longer requires per

Why is there no response from Kahng to G&M's rebuttal of his experiments? The rebuttal was published less than 2 weeks ago, so that seems a bit early, and it is public, so reading it would answer several of your questions. https

It's explained in the Wired article that is linked that this was indeed the cause. The independent reproduction that the IEEE article talks about also tested the method from the leaked paper from Chatterjee and concluded that his metho
