How exactly is being open source supposed to protect it from memory safety issues? Even if you jail it, you still run the risk of the proxy leaking sensitive requests of other users…

I made a project a while back to port Minecraft's desktop version to the web and it runs decently-ish on a good computer with WebGPU (but takes a really long time to load)

They're already doing this under the name "fast answers"

Yeah, TIL, turns out they changed the license: it used to be under https://fonts.google.com/license/productsans

Is this Google-affiliated? The heading font is Product/Google Sans which IIRC only Alphabet is allowed to use and the entire webpage seems to be Google-style but neither of the two named researchers seem to be employed by Google?

Are you sure it wasn’t one of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito

I'm not sure whether to be amused or annoyed by this comment (generated in the style of ChatGPT).

It’s supported for iPads, just locked by software [1].

Can confirm this is happening with the same prompt -- it even tries to justify that 5.9 is less than 5.11 when asked further.

That’s because it’s intended as a workstation GPU not one used in servers

The original link from Nikkei Asia that the 9to5mac article is a repost of has some more information and less generic filler:

I think the most interesting part is that the article says that Waymo's handing its operations to Moove. It seems like Waymo's trying to become a software provider while having other companies handle the capital-intensive parts.

Not totally related, but I definitely noticed Apple’s laptop speakers tend to sound ever so slightly better than other built-in speakers. I remember hearing about there being a patent causing this, but can’t find a source.

That’s on Mac. PWAs on Mac aren’t a new capability since Chrome et al have had it for a long time. I’d be more interested if they improved iOS PWA capabilities

Did you mean Pegatron?

I think it’s moreso that the more developed any one project is, the fewer low hanging fruits there are to pick, so there’s less beginner tasks to do. That being said, there are still new projects springing up every day, but we just don’t know which of them will be the next Linux or Python.

I think he means the mega/gigapack.

That’s called an SLS machine and is way more expensive than household FDM (filament) and SLA (resin) printers.

I'm pretty sure EarthCam does this daily.

The issue is that ICANN already wants the $8/year cost, so if they’re to make any margin at all…

Was this comment generated via ChatGPT? It sounds oddly like it for some reason.

Off-topic, but why do we still use nm to refer to things? I assume everyone on here is already aware that it's purely a marketing term, but we still use it.

One of the big issues I have with ARM CPUs right now is that you can’t really purchase them anywhere as a consumer. They consolidate everything into the hands of a few major players, while hobbyists are relegated to sticking with x86. I wonder if RISC-V is going to fix that.

I wonder why detaching forks is so clumsy a process. Is it really storage space concerns, or is it something we don’t know about?

Part of the issue is that we don’t really understand consciousness in humans. I think that’s needed before we can actually see what’s happening with AI. This article reminds me of that Google engineer that called LaMDA sentient.

Interesting. Wonder how easily it would be to generalise this—turn into an API that gives out some image data that could be in turn converted to PDF, SVG, PNG, you name it… though not sure how the data would be structured though
