Weird I vaguely recall even if you enable experimental chromium features it's single thread only + webGPU doesn't fully utilize your GPUs capabilities. How this is possible that you can play a AAA game with chrome? Is it that this game isn't as computationally intensive since it's an older game or something else?
Haven't gotten to try it yet but that'd be a breath of fresh air. Too used to LLMs flip flopping at the slightest hint of challenge.
Why would they acquire them then shut it down? Is there a reason for that?
Where does it mention it selectively extract features from OSS projects?
I think Apollo is a moonshine fork
Since no one answered, I looked into it. Firecracker you have to provision yourself whereas microVMs are server less and AWS manages all the infra.
Sorry for the late reply. By far the hardest was design for manufacturing!
How's this different from AWS firecracker?
How many 3D bodies are there? I'm curious because it renders really fast even on a relatively old mobile phone.
I'm unsure that the tiktok model works because it's designed around fast, easy to consume content, whereas scientific papers require sitting down and really digesting the material. It's much easier to read dense text on a desktop/tablet over mobile. The times where I read arxiv on mobile, it's really just the abstract. If you summarize each abstract into concise bullet points that might be quite useful.
Oh that's interesting. Almost like a project planner kind of thing?
I actually only recently tried Claude Code. I didn't realize it was such a big thing now. I also find the signal to noise ratio is really low when it comes to AI hype.

Apart from coding agents, are there any AI agents that are actually useful? Is it all still just hype?
I thought browser-use was janky and barely worked? Or was that fixed from 1-2 years ago?
To be clear, was OpenCode a better in your opinion compared to ClaudeCode?
Yes I switched the domain. But davidma.co redirects to davidma.org.
I wanted to but it said it exceeds the character limit

I'm a doctor who built a concave split ergonomic keyboard I'm launching June 2nd. DFM is finally done so everything is ready for injection molding. Plan is to do a clinical study on it afterwards and turn it into a medical device for wrist pain treatment. Have iterated on different variations of it over a few years with over 120 users before arriving at this.
If you've seen Kinesis Advantage, it's similar but with a smaller more compact size. It also has a thumb cluster that's not as hard to reach because of its downward angle (uses thumb abduction instead of thumb extension, which puts you into a more ergonomic handshake position). The layer keys are also offset at a lower height so you won't accidentally hit it. It's QMK compatible and hotswappable.

It's honestly such a big problem. One of my colleagues uses an AI scribe. I can't rely on any of his chart notes because the AI sometimes hallucinates (I've already informed him). It also tends to write a ridiculous amount of detail that are totally unnecessary and leave out important details such that I still need to comb through patient charts for (med rec, consults, etc). In the end it ends up creating more work for me. And if my colleague ever gets a college complaint I have no clue how he's gonna navigate any AI generated errors. I'm all for AI and it's great for things like copywriting, brainstorming and code generation. But from what I'm seeing, it's creating a lot more headache in the clinical setting.
If you're why doesn't this guy just check the AI scribe notes? Well, probably because with the amount of detail it writes, he'd be better off writing a quick soap note.

Definitely makes it easier for parents. It also normalizes screen time limits for kids. When none of your kids' friends have screen time limits, it's harder to enforce. When at least there's a few of them, it's easier to get buy-in from your kids.
I personally use an Evoluent vertical mouse. I've noticed some users use navigation software (such as mouseless, vimium/vimium C, vim-mode vscode).
Shameless plug but I'm a doctor who made an ergonomic split keyboard called the TAIKO-01 (
https://taiko.taikohub.com).
It's split in two so you can position them at shoulder width. It's angled so your wrists are in more natural positioning (reduced pronation), and curved to prevent finger overstretching (finger joints have arc-shaped range of motion). It's injection molded and hot-swappable.
I've been working on this since 2022 and am getting close to launch. It's gotten very good feedback from beta testers.
