That sounds fun. I tried to design an assembly game once, but found I lack the creativity to design puzzles/goals that are not just "implement this common algorithm in assembly language". The idea of bootstrapping a PC…

I wonder, is there a good reason to use Dillo over something like Netsurf or Ladybird nowadays? They support far more of the Web (i.e. more likely to be useful) while still being lightweight.

Please explain how you would solve the iterator invalidation problem using only C++ and RAII. Thanks.
I love your idea of using it for compression. I didn't notice a link to any code, would you be open to sharing the code? I'd love to take a look at how you did things and play around with it myself.
Ballmer also gave us the maligned Windows Vista and Windows 8. Microsoft has also been way more open source friendly during Nadella's tenure, whereas Ballmer was openly hostile to FOSS. I'll take Nadella, thanks…
I don't know if Google has changed their position, but Mozilla is willing to accept a memory-safe (read: Rust) JXL decoder [1]. If it becomes used in Firefox, maybe there's a chance that Google would see the benefit in…
Why managed when it could be in Rust and have both performance and safety? The Servo shouldn't have ever been laid off. Yes, I'm aware a team is working on it now, but it isn't up to the same speed and enthusiasm as it…
> 1. non reproducible is there in the API It should be reproducible if you set the temperature to 1, have you tried that?
Indeed. And importantly, you could tell exactly which UI elements were which. It's sometimes genuinely difficult to tell if an element is text, a button, or a button disguised as a link on Windows 10/11.

That's interesting, why would notepad.exe use mmapped files?
What "sucks" about it? Since they added type checking it's been perfectly fine, besides the notable omission of nullable types (which is... a strange omission, to be sure).
You can jump to the address and then declare the data as a struct. It is annoying though that you can't make the register display show a particular type, it only shows unsigned hex integers. If I'm tracking a 32-bit…
There's also panda[1], but I never got it working myself. I share your frustration, as it would help greatly with debugging, especially with nondeterminstic bugs. I likewise never got QEMU's record/replay to work. [1]…
I've been waiting on that game since 2010, and it seems to have no release date, so it just might! I wish they would just break it into smaller pieces to have something to ship and iterate on. > The game has been in…

Have you tried using local models for this? Are they simply not capable enough for something like this?
What model is this using? Is there any more information on it?
Bah, don't give them ideas! Honestly, codecs are a worrying target for supply chain attacks because they're complex and use a lot of memory-unsafe code. Just look at all the image format attacks throughout history (a…
It's also a testament to the power of open source software. ffmpeg is in a significant amount of software touching audio/video in some way, and we are all enriched because everyone is free to use it.
I've gotten some useful stuff out of 7B param LLMs, and that should fit on a Pi quantized.
Is it normal (or beneficial) for a corporation of this size to put out a press release like this regarding ongoing lawsuits?
