You're correct but I don't see why that matters. From your perspective as a C coder you get webgl access without having to write JS, that's what's important. Everything is "mixed together" into asm in the end anyway whether it's glue code in JS or browser side glue code.
WASM can access the GPU via middle layers like SDL. I.e. you can write a C program that uses opengl and compile it and as long as you include the right flags etc into `emcc` you will barely need to touch or glue it together on the JS side at all.
Seems like a common pattern. State of the art models being well replaced by a information retrieval layer (top 10 results) fed into a much lighter model that does something with that plus the original input. Cool result!
The reason react was developed is mostly null at this point. Modern javascript is so fast and plesant it's hard to imagine many real reasons you can't stay entirely within vanilla.
Semi related: Does anyone know if there's been promising research in using LLMs for compilation? Seems like if you have an LLM that can have higher levels of abstraction understanding of a codebase it could (in theory) be able to optimize it in ways traditional compilers might not.
Finally someone who did this, I've always thought this was a low hanging fruit. I wonder if you could make interesting and quickly trained diffusion models with this trick.
I don't think they were foolishly optimisitic. Society was just literally higher trust back then and various factors have eroded that over the decades in a way they probably wouldn't have predicted.
If someone wants to release weights but attach a no commercial license to it I'm somewhat fine with that. I won't be able to sell it behind a shallow API but I'll be able to use the output of the model (that can't be prohibited) and sell that or do whatever I like with it. It's not as ideal as CC0 but I'm ok with the compromise.
There's an argument that some pieces of the disinformation has some truth to it and thus not being able to say it cause more harm then censoring it. (So which side actually is analogous to yelling fire, the censorship side or the non censorship side.)
The internet can wipe things completely given enough want from corporations. For instance the hulk hogan tape seems utterly gone no matter where you look.
I agree with most of what you say. But uncommented code isn't necessarily a bad thing. You can often make it self documenting through long and descriptive variables names and function names.
I like to make new HN accounts every few months to avoid falling into this trap (i.e. feeling an obligation to sink more time into HN or reddit because I'm proud of the amount of points I have).
Well these things are what everyone has to do in college anyway because it's helpful for training you. And if you didn't get to do that in your algo courses or you didn't do college or haven't done it yet then articles like this are super useful.
I feel this way too. Maybe there's some very similar term that we're both thinking of though that is just at the tip of the tongue because I can't find what it'd be
Making a custom scrollbar because it doesn't support dark mode is worse for accesibility overall. Your custom scrollbar likely won't work well with tools disabled used for scrolling that isn't the mouse.
