Remember WALL•E? Remember how "BUY N LARGE" used to bethe government of the U.S. and their CEO was somehow the president? The American government's demo (sorry, the mass population branch of Trump businesses' demo) and keynote showing the new stuff somehow completely was the transition. Congratulations to everyone. --- And on the other hand, the website seems a lot great. Design is right, works nicely, and the privacy claim is the funniest joke ever.
The most stupid thing about Slop AI is Heading + Description. Whenever I generate something with these things, they add a useless obvious header and a paragraph of crap beneath. I tell them I'm generating an specific tool for me and me only; and it explains what it is, I tell them I don't want them and they include these things anyway...
I mean you think to yourself "one second of error per million years must be quite enough overkill" and then these beautiful people come to show you wrong. I'm not sure who will ever see the difference but really what a job well done!
I don't know if you see it or not; but they started with really really minimal and dumb looks, and in this version started to add colors, UI elements and... So I guess a few versions in, and they'll build a iOS/Android from the first principles...
Yes because normal people have tomahawks they can shoot to schools in their basements, and it required a court to find out who was responsible: United States, Dr. Evil, or the Cookie Monster?
What they had done was wiring kernel level operations, without any of the userspace security checks into the wasmer. Their logic was that given the sandbox of wasmer; what would happen if you removed the sandbox of the OS? And I remember their article was featured in HN for two days or so as well. It was interesting. It wasn't that WASM ran faster than C, it was the API calls. And I keep wondering about an architecture where you have a highly sandboxed universal assembly with some API hardening; a middle ground, and so imagine an app that ran everywhere and was 10~100 times faster. Could be really cool.
This is not true. They remove the downloaded and encrypted files (sure) but your library remains in your iCloud. And I have unsubscribed many times and came back, it gets your account synced with iCloud and everything comes back.
Many moons ago I was preparing for an interview to join wasmer, back then they showed me that by running wasmer as a kernel extension in Linux they have made it run four orders of magnitude (10,000 times) faster. Given the WASI, I keep thinking more than the plugin usability of things like wasmer, what is the point of WASM not being accepted as a second binary in all operating systems? Windows could support .exe as well as .wasm for example and we would finally have a cross-plaform binary. Apple would never accept; Microsoft will do, and Linux can simply have,
What a truly beautiful simplex/meta-balls pattern in the website. The two layers of blue and one red within the blue is such a beautiful design. I spent so much time looking at it that I forgot to read the article.
Given how many times Trump declared the war a victory, I'm also curious to know if they declare it a war, how many time the families will be compensated? ten wars? a hundred wars? two wars and a a hundred rounds of ceasefire friendly matches?
This was an amazing read. I try to make hyper-documents as Nelson wanted and I have seen much of the contradictions. Yet I still believe you have to give people a hundred ideas for them to use 10. He did just that.
I'm so happy to see it be released. I had watched their YouTube coverage of what and why they were doing what they were doing and I'm so happy. As much as Audacity bears a nostalgia and mental safe zone in its look and design, it was too good of a software to let rot in technical debt and code spaghetti and getting behind. The world really needed an open source good looking easy to use workstation that is not as complicated as Pro Tools or Logic... I'm so thankful for Muse rescuing so many of the great apps (I really really am thankful for the MuseScore getting that amazing recently for example, or bringing the wonderful wonderful engine of StaffPad to it...)
I learned these lessons from many separate places and have always wished to see them in one place. This was an incredibly great article that I very much enjoyed reading and will be sending to anyone who's in need of ideas about speed. Thanks a lot!
I actually built a fully featured text editor with Codex last month for a GUI toolkit I was building from the scratch. It worked quite well. You should give it a try. Perhaps you can offload much of the refinements to the llms now
There is just an insane amount of engineering and work you have to do. Measuring text and shaping fonts is a nightmare, computing chart atlases, having infinite scroll with virtual lines coming to and out of the screen, all the strange data structures to preserve optimized decoration rendering, ropes and ropes (hard data structures), navigating with the keyboard, computing which character interaction is closer to the I-beam when jumping up and down, also caching your previous movements to go back where you actually were. CRDT and atomic editing strategies... There are hundreds and thousands of articles and papers and stuff covering these things. It’s just something we take for granted with so much beauty in the background.
