If you can make it run in a standard qemu/libvirt VM, you likely should be able to ship that VM in the browser as the site I linked demonstrates. Only problem I see is, does it need custom hardware/drivers? If yes and you can make

You can run just run whole Windows with IE6 in the browser these days thanks to WebAssembly: https://oldweb.today/?browser=ie6 . It even works on my phone.

Eh, marketing fluff. This is more like it: https://oldweb.today/ - browse old web (from archive.org) with old browsers (in Wasm) A better way to celebrate 30 years of their browser would be to just open source it. Code&#x27

Eh, it's been cheaper and better for a long time to just demolish and rebuild rather than deal with neverending issues at major fixer uppers. Robots probably would be able to do uncomplicated cookie-cutter builds in a decade or two, th

VPNs are widespread in Russia, so they probably misattribute a good chunk of the traffic. "By 2025, about 41% of Russian internet users were relying on VPNs — one of the highest adoption rates in the world." [1] [1] https:/&

But memory bandwidth (bottleneck for LLM inference) is only marginally improved, 614 GB/s vs 546 GB/s for M4/M5 Max - where is this 4x improvement coming from? I think I'll pass on upgrading.

Eh, didn't even Microsoft give up and just shipped a React-based start menu at one point? The range of "native" on Windows 11 is quite wide - starts with an ancient Windows 3.1 ODBC dialog box.

Maybe helps the LLM, but at the cost of confusing humans. It would've been better left as an internal implementation detail. I've got better things to keep in my head that remembering wtf deacon is, etc.

You can bind-mount a single file read-only with docker. While you're at it, bind mount .git read-only as well. Hasn't happened to me yet, but talked to people who had their local repo wiped out by desperate agents! No code - no br

Nonsense. I've been running Linux just fine as my daily driver on Macbook M4 for a year. Besides battery life (VM is kinda heavy on it) and some minor issues (fewer than you'd think, especially with Vulkan landing in UTM today) it

Put them in a container or VM? Security benefits from layering: engine/runtime is one layer, container/VM is another - an attacker would need two independent high-value exploits to breach both of them. High budget is no guarantee

"Someone" is a big assumption these days. What if it was an AI agent just poking in its own source code?

Ohh, good point about git hooks as a container escape vector! I probably should add `-v $PWD/.git:$PWD/.git:ro` for that (bind-mount .git as read-only).

Just put it in a container. I use bash aliases like this to start a throwaway container with bind mounted cwd, works like a charm with rootless podman. I also learned to run npm and other shady tools in this way and stopped worrying about s

They had essentially a wealth tax in Box 3 - your investments/savings are deemed to have a fixed fictional yield on which you pay income tax. Currently, 6.17% yield x 32% tax = 2% wealth tax. Hurts just a little bit, but it's a sm

It is essentially a wealth tax system. But I wouldn't call it low: currently, 6.17% fictional yield x 32% tax rate = 2% wealth tax rate - it is at the high end among countries with a wealth tax ( https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

For real estate, yes, but it's a quite different type of asset with a stable value that (mostly) only goes up. What about stocks or crypto (the assets this new law targets)? They can have wild value fluctuations in a year. If your cryp

Looks like they're coining a new legal term "Capital Growth Tax", under which they are going to tax unrealized capital gains. I'm not aware of any other country that taxes them like that (besides wealth/exit taxes),
