Hey, in general it's better to assume good faith. It's snide to just assume I haven't looked at the facts or attempted to understand anything. According to Ars Technica the DOJ indictment stated: * There was a screenshot of t

That's really interesting, I didn't know that. Makes me wonder how many herbicides / insecticides are like this for sure

Of course, but it's still there after drying. dogs/cats sniff the ground, lay on it, eat bugs that have interacted with it, etc. (hopefully not for all of these, but I am sure they do)

That's fair, but you have to admit - the triple headphone jack, side-facing cameras, and dual power buttons (for 2x the power) were nice touches.

Do you know if there /are/ any studies done with smaller mammals, out of curiosity? My worry is always that we're poisoning our dogs/cats, where a toxic amount I imagine is much smaller

Look at e-jen containers, they're for kimchi normally but I use them for fermenting tons of things. They're great.

yep - but that doesn't do much good if people overwhelmingly /think/ otherwise.

People also seem to forget glass bottles are very energy intensive to produce and recycle, 3.69 MJ for glass and only 0.21 MJ for a PET bottle. The real answer is in giving people clean drinking water at the tap IMO, so many people use bott

My brother bought a house recently, they placed a strong offer on an OpenDoor home and they heard back the next day saying they had a higher offer by almost 20%. So, they said no worries - we'll go with a different home then. OpenDoor

The metaphor is that there is some baseline you must do to get fed each day / live. For the hamster, it just happens by nature of living in a cage - but it's not pleasant ("will I get fed today?" being a constant concern

Having been on both sides of this argument, here's the other side's perspective: Picture two hamsters. Each knows they ate recently, but it's been a while. Is their owner coming back to feed them soon? They don't know, i

When users are used to updates screwing them over generally, it's not a surprise that we start to find people who don't want to update and disregard the security entirely.

Wow, this is incredible and would make myself and so many people I know super happy! This is awesome work!

If you want highly scalable at Google's scale, HTTP-based stateless services that can be scaled up/down in response to traffic are highly desirable properties. The real problem is k8s and "cloud native" are designed for

I think WebDNN[0] is working on enabling this sort of thing using WebGPU compute as a backend, but no experience with ML myself sorry. I do think WebGPU's compute API would be sufficient for ML inference, but can't say for sure. [

On average, really probably not much difference. If you're talking about any game released in the last 5 years (you probably are), then WebGPU is pretty much fine for anything you could throw at it. Your limitation is going to be your

I talk about how Flash and Java applets can compromise the host OS arbitrarily, and you respond with a paper about how WebAssembly cannot do that but may lead to the program itself running in unexpected, isolated, ways. FTP: > The standa

It sounds to me like you're saying: (a) WebGPU could be dangerous anyway, so why not just expose Vulkan entirely with no safety? (b) Committee-designed APIs are always doomed to fail, equally Google/Apple/Intel's fault,

Also, you know, it's safe unlike both of those. And, you know, it's not deeply connected to representing a single language like both of those. And, I guess unlike those it's built by different companies following a standard r

by slimsag 4y ago
What would you like to see instead, everyone stick with WebGL? Expose Vulkan directly to the web with a "this is dangerous" prompt? Go with WebGPU+SPIRV, but have no Apple support?

Was watching your update in the Khronos Group meetup a few days ago, very impressive work. I'm excited for what this will mean for the web overall, it might finally reach that tipping point where more than .io games become standard t

Finally :) My coworker back in 2017 implemented the WebAssembly backend for the Go compiler[0], and noted at the time that WASM doesn't have any equivalent to setjmp/longjmp. As a result, Go's WebAssembly implementation actua

Check out[0] and the Zig Embedded Group[1] - it's not well publicized right now, but there's actually quite a lot of work going on here & Zig seems quite suitable for embedded compared to some other languages. > The standar
