Wow, TIL.

> You can redeploy with minimal effort every week No thank you

To me it just sounds like we need an even higher level language for these sort of 'software for one' apps. There is still tons of boilerplate. Declarative is king.

Please stop calling it an 'OS'. It's just Android with a few custom components.

Why mess with scrolling?

well, you've got endless "integration testing" in the form of 3rd party software for Windows. More reliable than any specification, considering Windows itself is a patchwork of wor…

Ah yes, the eternal truth of "looks matter". It translates to almost everything imaginable, not just people's appearance.

Let's strip all strings then before analysis? to prevent prompt injections and such.

I'd say it's different this time, because LLM can form and substantiate opinions of their own, on their own. You could actually assume you have the full source code of any binary f…

Whatever findings they come up with, must be formalized to avoid non-determinism. Draft an integration test of every finding. The malicious extension makes calls to haxx0r.net? Dra…

Is there no setfenv-like functionality in JavaScript (setfenv is Lua's way to set a sandboxed execution environment)? That's surprising. TIL.

I've been thinking of doing something similar AI-ran personalized TV channels, which basically would 'broadcast' the user's media collection, can produce news based on the user's i…

This needs to be higher

Is this a trick question? Of course. However Apple imposed artificial limitations, like disabling JIT.

So is it 5 minutes or 30 seconds then? And yes, you're missing out. Docker images come in layers, which may or may not change depending on your release, and may or may not be share…

Not mentioned in the article, but the latest generation Xbox and PlayStation run completely custom firmware with their own proprietary boot chains, and locked-down hardware. So muc…

...which is an extension of x86, the same way AArch64 is an extension of ARM.

I wonder if this is the future of "I need to run my legacy Windows enterprise app on modern hardware"? I suppose we're also not limited to WinNT look and feel, and can render dialo…

I wholeheartedly agree. Doesn't look organic at all. Guess it's the quality of Hacker News these days: blog spam.

I don't think people realize how crazy this all is (and might become)
