Re:AI models need a virtual machine on Saturday August 30, 2025 @11:07AM (#45075306)
It feels like I'm getting more jaded everyday because the moment I started reading this article I was convinced it was written by an AI.

From a hosting perspective which the article talks about I would worry more about just keeping the AI agent functional/alive in a whatever environment a big challenge, using AI a great but stability in any basically use-case has been rough for me personally.

From a developer perspective I've been using devcontainers with rootless docker via wsl and while I'm sure there's some malware that can bypass that (where this VM approach would be a lot stronger) I feel a lot safer this way than running things on the host OS. Furthermore you get the same benefits like reproducibility and separation of concerns and whenever the AI screws something up in your environment you can simply rebuild the container.

Re:Spending Too Much Time at Airports on Sunday August 24, 2025 @09:48AM (#45004229)
As you say it depends but in my case when I was booking a ticket for my last vacation I noticed prices getting much cheaper every day nearer to the flight itself (500 -> 200).

I waited till the second to last day and the price was 240, one day later it hit 200. (definitely a gamble, the flight seemed maxed out when I was boarding).

I remember making something like this myself for a project involving video editor with a "premiere-pro" looking timeline in canvas. At the time I remember looking at other projects like this one but they would have jquery dependencies or a weird api. This one looks nice and would have saved time probably.

I wonder who the author voted for. Whether or not you agree with the content he posts on Twitter, the amount of people reached to especially younger people seems a lot bigger than let's say a blog on whitehouse.gov.

It would've been nice to see some kind of animation on the code itself during the run, showing which commands it has completed.

I just checked chrome://gpu and it shows:

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

and some other 'Problems detected' so the problem is probably on my side.

Cool project though!

Getting the same issue with chrome 52, windows 10 and a r9 fury.

Issue with amd cards maybe?
