I tried entering cocaine and it was rejected, but tried coca leaves and it looks quite good. Also my opponents pieces were coffee beans which is a nice color contrast, and with that I beat the easy computer player. My first try a couple

That's nice. AFAICT nobody has yet figured out how to run the rust compiler in WebAssembly directly, but it runs in v86. That's why I wondered if they were taking that shortcut for another complex program. Here's their page a

Hmm, does Google not use the Claude or ChatGPT API for it? I still don't hear of people chatting with Gemini nearly as often as with the other two. Edit: looks like the subreddit is still called Bard. Well played, Internets. https:&#x

They haven't. That in the spec stops short of actually saying that it will stop all exfiltration. What it will do is make it harder because you'd have to put the data in a subdomain or in a username/password. It also could ma

By default WebAssembly doesn't have access to the DOM or JavaScript globals. You have full control of how it can access these things.

Lack of moderation combined with an offical-sounding domain name. This would have to get the user to follow a link or call a phone number or something though. These are plausible. It's too bad the content-security-policy can't pre

Blocking/allowlisting all JavaScript is the only way [1] to have a CSP fully contain an app (no exfiltration) [2] and with prefetch that might not be enough. The author is correct at the end to suggest using WebAssembly. (Also, it stil

Nope. > LLMs are allowed on Libera.Chat. They may both take input from Libera.Chat and output responses to Libera.Chat. This wouldn't help HN. Nor would the opposite policy, if only because it would encourage accusatory behavior.

Typical a16z. Also brought us The Techno-Optimist Manifesto and please vote Trump because of muh crypto . Edit: Benedict Evans no longer works for a16z. However I think it must be a reference to Why Software Is Eating the World .

It's kind of like how Java still exists but doesn't commonly run in browsers in the form of a Java Applet. It exists behind the scenes and I'm sure many who used to use it now use it indirectly.

It's sort of as if it's gone. TFA is about what I no longer recognize as what I used to mean when I talked about redis. Since the license change the project with the trademark no longer fits that concept. Valkey does. I'm not

I dunno, MongoDB is as if it's gone, due to a license change in 2018. So asking if redis should be thought of the same as MongoDB is a legitimate question. I just gave valkey-container its 100th star https://github.com/

Mind providing a link so I can validate this? Plaid might have API providers' permission now, but did they at the start? I forgot to mention that I was talking about when Plaid first started.

I think they both go together. It might take about 10 minutes to give a good high level explanation of it, including how the S3 syncing works - that the S3 lags slightly behind the caching layer for reads, and that you can still write to S3

For the misleading part, I probably should have said confusing because I don't think you intended that, I mean that instead of introducing your caching layer you make it about S3, where the Object Storage provider seems totally interch

My first impression is that like with HTMX, it's for a style of web apps that has few uses nowadays. The benefit of the HTML syntax quickly goes away if it has a JavaScript frontend. The routing doesn't make sense in a non-trivial
