That seems like a horrible idea: 1. Do you really want the rust compiler to run at the speed of an llm? 2. Compiler optimisations are already extremely unpredictable with deterministic compilers[1], I hate to think how unpredictable your co

The anubis docs website is used as an example of how anubis works. Also, if you are not using a big CDN (e.g. Cloudflare), you still need to pay for the traffic (even if you don't pay as much for the CPU). This is doubly true for small

I think it is still compute-heavy if not compute-hard, and stuff like WASM SIMD makes it less compute heavy (not really available in JS). And also, for memory bound problems, you probably don't want the JS GC needing to clean up afterw

I think it is more likely they are just drinking their own koolaid (and their friends are too). They are paid to bring in investor dollars, which requires lofty promises.

Bold of you to assume that “current economic inventives” will remain around for 500 years, especially given the American-style neo-liberal economy is only like 70 years old.

I think their point is that paint shouldn’t have any GenAI features (or any new features other than compatibility)

I think the copyright should go to the tool creator in that case, if the tool is acting as an extension of the creator. But if the tool is created from collective human creation, the copyright should belong to all humanity, not the person w

What if it was a human who took the photo, would the copyright still be owned by the equipment owner / person who set it up? What if this applied in a photography class? The instructor owns the equipment and helped “set up” the photo.

I think there is an easy test: if you didn’t write it, it’s not yours. If we go back 10 years and your friend says “I have an idea for an app, here it is,” and you build it, you own the copyright because you wrote it. You give an idea to th

In the same way “smoking causes cancer” was a minority opinion in the 50s and 60s.

Australia has a similar issue, in part because we import a lot of US domestic vehicles and advertising, and in part because the ato has tax exemptions that only apply to overbuilt utes[1]. [1]: https://www.drive.com.au/carad

Cloudflare isn’t just as simple as “bot” or “not a bot”. They give customers categories of how likely a request is to be automated (or a number for some enterprise plans)[1] and the customer decides what happens to your request (nothing, ch

> incremental old-tree reuse were removed Maybe I am missing what they meant here, but isn’t the entire point of tree-sitter that you can reuse old trees to make edit updates faster? It is seems quite probable that all the performance ga

So your benchmarks are primarily just “how fast is go’s c interop” rather than any algorithmic improvement on tree-sitter? Edit: yep, you are just calling a c function in a loop. So your no-op benchmark is just the time it takes for cgo to

Do you have an equivalent of TreeCursors or tree-sitter-generate? There are at least some use cases where neither queries nor walks are suitable. And I have run into cases where being able to regenerate and compile grammars on the fly is im

I think a lot of your examples are flawed. Google didn’t build the initial version of YouTube, they bought it. A lot of Apple’s apps predate the App Store. The apps that came later had limited use until Apple spent a lot of time refining th

We are currently on Firefox 112.0 (latest major, not latest minor). Updates are applied inside of `gluon.json`, not via pnpm. https://github.com/pulse-browser/browser/commit/b9bf6b439a13...

Currently it is in the "tech demo" phase. The only people I would recommend using this are people willing to contribute in some form. I would not recommend it as a daily driver hence the "alpha" tag on all the builds. To

I think you are miss interpreting me. I don't want to focus on privacy above all else. To do that well would compromise on the usability of the browser. For example, if I were to advertise it as "privacy focused", I would not

We try to keep it up to date with the latest version of Firefox. Currently it is bound to 105.0.1 but we will soon be on 106.0.5 (once PR#135 merges).

Our website is a touch (read very) out of date. To clarify, we are working on newer features, like the sidebar tabs. Currently, it is a combination of a tech demo and a set of personal preferences (features, extensions, preferences) that I

Hi, I am a dev on Pulse Browser. I want to clarify our current development direction (I haven't significant updated the website recently). We have been moving further away from privacy and towards developing/iterating on features
