It's a completely reasonable reading of their message to assume that the “possible” in “whenever possible” roughly means “legal”. I don't think any reasonable reading of it means to imply that they are willing to violate federal l

Glad to hear it! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We went the kubernetes route ourselves before coming to the conclusion that it was not the right fit for the problem.

WebAssembly running in the browser runs in an isolated environment whose only access to the outside world is by calling out to JavaScript functions exposed to it when it was initialized. So it doesn’t open up any new APIs. It does get recom

This is a great analogy for something I've struggled to put into words. I’ll add: if you have invariants, you almost by definition have conflicts. The C in CRDT is for conflict-free, so if you can have conflicts in the data domain you

Oh you’re right, I missed this line in the cited article: > Snap later acquired Gfycat, a competitor to Giphy.

This has been removed. It seems that whoever added it confused Gfycat with Giphy (afaik they have no relation) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/115601663...

Places where you can walk everywhere are expensive because demand for them is higher than supply. The argument of anti-car people is that we should stop artificially limiting supply of mid-density housing by allowing NIMBYs to block devel

I don’t think anyone serious expects existing suburbs to be torn down in a generation, the argument that car-free folks make is that we should stop forcing new growth to sprawl outside cities by: 1. Not limiting density in cities through re

I built a tool that gives GPT a Docker container to run commands in to accomplish a particular task. I find myself using it for things like simple file conversions (it mounts the current working directory into the container). It can install

Fun fact, early in Twitter's life, RSS was supported. There was even a brief period where it supported XMPP! I remember following along with 2008 election tweets in Pidgin.

I don’t think the pair she saw was actually them. My guess is that the thief didn’t have an iPhone and the boy did, so it was the boy’s iPhone that reported the AirPods location to Apple whenever he crossed paths with the actual thief. Note

In this case, the x-axis is a different unit from the unit of data measured by the radius, so the fact that it's off by a constant multiple doesn't matter; it's just an arbitrary scale. If both the x- and y-axes were encoding

Yes, it's definitely lagging the CUDA ecosystem. I did a write-up a few weeks back on the various approaches people are taking to do inference in the browser (WASM, WebGL, WebGPU): https://digest.browsertech.com/archive

WebGPU. It’ll be live in Chromium stable this Thursday and will be the biggest step change for browser-based GPU since the original WebGL.

What strikes you as impossible about it? Feature-wise, most of the top-line features are things that Docker Desktop provides, but as a DD user it doesn't strike me as surprising that a more lightweight version is possible.

That’s what I think too, but FWIW, geocrasher is quoting the “see also” section of the article. It doesn’t have a citation and I can’t find any other references to it, though.

I wrote a cli that gives GPT a containerized shell with access only to the current working directory. I use it for file conversions and things like that. It will install the software it needs into the container. https://github.co
