ah, i misunderstood. that seemed way too low in terms of actual tokens lol. i'll log off now. interesting details and didn't know about WebkitWasm. hope to read more soon.
edit: I misunderstood, that's $25k not 25k tokens :/ time to log off.
this is so rad! 25k tokens is a lot less than i thought this'd take -- what were the difficult bits in the porting process? also, was firefox preferred because parts of it are already in rust?
They (WP and Lumia) would've been a strong 3rd player if the right investments and care were given since MS acquisition but alas, I think I should've noticed the writing on the wall for all of MS' consumer business (Xbox, being the latest!) from the moment Satya stepped in and Nokia got cut off.
Satya was great for businesses and MS' investors, terrible for consumers.
This is what I’ve been thinking of ever since coming across Ramp’s agent[1] and other orgs trying to build their own remote dev envs with agents at the center. Makes so much more sense in this kind of a dev spree to not wait for a PR. Because all actors end up repeating the same thing with their own agents which can be totally avoided. Conversations and code to jump in and out of, to collaborate etc seems like the right way to go.
> Ported tree-sitter, color-diff, yoga-layout, and a number of other WASM and Rust native modules to TypeScript, improving CPU and memory use by 2-10x in the process
Curious to learn more on this (unless there’s a write-up in the works). I’m naive on this matter but:
1. is this because it’s higher cost when passing objects back and forth across the JS/native boundary?
2. Does this have anything more specific to do with use of Bun?
3. is the stance for claude code then to keep all the deps in raw TypeScript?
4. How do you folks keep these ported deps up-to-date?
I wonder if this is related to the supply chain attack they talked about at GrafanaCon[1] or a fresh leak. If latter, wonder what they missed since it seemed like they got their detectors/scanners set up well. Curious to read the report on this.
I had to fight through school and university in India with my teachers who believed these were legit questions to ask in written exams. Can't 100% blame them since almost all standard-issue textbooks had them and claimed they'd give predictable output. I thought the same until I noticed the weirdness when running them across different compilers and after I read about UB, sequence points and similar quirks in books that are not total garbage.
Luckily, I ended up with smug smiles in all those cases after showing them the output from different compilers.
Likewise looking to adopt mise at work, have a PR nearly there and especially with all the LLM/skills CLIs, mise looks well positioned. I've been using it for a long time personally and is a delight to work with.
Curious given polyglot monorepo and bazel, does mise have something that solves the build graph/caching stuff that IIUC comes with Bazel or is that something that's not needed for the monorepo you help maintain?
Looking forward to trying this out and see how this differs from more manual approaches. One thing that stands out is an included store for public/private distribution — that’s super convenient given the cumbersome (and maybe, horrific) process that is the app store submission.
I’d be grumpy over wasting my time on an HN post that’s LLM generated which doesn’t state that it is. If I wanted this, I could be prompting N number of chat models available to me instead of meandering over here.
Love mise, didn't know about hk. Will check this out but don't think $WORK (or me) needs more than lefthook at the moment, which we're quite happy with. Wonder if there are comparisons/example projects that showcases the unique value propositions.
