The founder is a Forbes 30u30 according to his X profile. As they say, you can't make these things up.

wasn't there some meme that 30u30 was some kind of predictor for fraud

I am waiting now for someone to make it work with a Copilot Pro subscription.


I believe GitHub can and does suspend accounts that use such proxies.

Do they explicitly exclude "foreigners" from registering?

I read that Tuvalo earns a good portion of their GDP from .tv domain sales.


I hope .md domains do not become a security hole as Markdown raises in popularity...

That's a valid concern, especially given the confusion we saw with .zip or .mov TLDs. But from a security engineering perspective, the bigger 'Markdown hole' I worry about is injection. When we render untrusted AI output into HTML for email, the sanitization pipeline becomes critical. I'd be curious to see how this library handles potential XSS vectors during the MD-to-HTML conversion.

This reminds me of the infamous dot zip domain and the security chaos that had followed.

The last time I did this was very long ago, but still I was surprised that of all things, the WiFi didn't work (some Intel issue). Newer laptops also have "accessories" such as fingerprint reader, touch bar etc which may not be trivial to get to work.

And anyways, the interesting part of the link for me was official collaboration from Dell, although I couldn't fit it within the title.


My take is a Dell can be pretty good but things like the fingerprint readers will often be busted even on Windows. I expect some things to be busted on a Dell and I'm not going be like those mac-ers who go to the genius bar 50x because there is some small thing like a fingerprint reader that 'just doesn't work'.

A WASM version of (La)TeX plus a decent IDE would be amazing. I'm wondering if such a thing exists.


SwiftLatex, TexLyre and StellarLatex seem to be exactly this. Apparently this is something a lot of people want to see in the world, awesome stuff. I wonder what's the performance like between native XeLaTex and these wasm version and if it will be Overleaf's demise if these solutions can be easily self-hosted by organizations without worrying about the server getting bogged down by compile jobs.

Isn't that Flutter, i.e. an exotic language plus skipping DOM and drawing into a canvas?


Flutter's authoring environment is a text editor. This is rebuilding the Flash authoring environment. They are not the same.

Nobody would author a kid's TV show in Flutter.


No, when people say they miss "Flash", they mostly mean the editor.


How will the A chip fare for LLM-based use cases, compared the M series?

And will we have software compatibility issues because of A versus M issues?


I don't think LLM use cases are the target audience's chief concern here


I saw this some time ago with Bing and OpenCode:

"If I search for "opencode GitHub" in Bing, a random fork is returned"

Wouldn't it be much more useful if the request received raw input (i.e. before feature extraction), and not the feature vector?


You can do that with Onnx. You can graft the preprocessing layers to the actual model [1] and then serve that. Honestly, I already thought that ONNX (CPU at least) was already low level code and already very optimized.

@Author - if you see this is it possible to add comparisons (ie "vanilla" inference latencies vs timber)?

[1] https://gist.github.com/msteiner-google/5f03534b0df58d32abcc... <-- A gist I put together in the past that goes from PyTorch to ONNX and grafts the preprocessing layers to the model, so you can pass the raw input.


I'll check this out as soon as I am at my desk.
