Personally not a fan of Windows 95 in the browser, however the browser stoped being a “document reader” a decade ago it’s the only universel, sandbox runtime, and everything is moving in that direction ... safe code. WASM isnt a worst VM; it’s a diffrent trade off: portable, fast start, capability scoped compute without shiping a OS. Raw device still have their place (servers). If you need safe distribution + performance thats “good enough” WASM in the browser is going to be the future of client.
Ever tried to build something with IP cameras and put the word ONVIF on your site? ONVIF.org will come after you with trademark threats.
Doesn’t matter if your product really supports it, or if it’s even open source. They’ll tell you to delete “ONVIF-compatible” unless you cough up for their $20,000/year membership.
It feels backwards ... engineers need to say if things interoperate, customers search for “ONVIF” to check compatibility, yet instead of helping adoption they act like brand cops. Is this normal for “open standards”? Or is ONVIF.org just uniquely hostile here? I don't think they are right here, but having released a completely free product and got a trademark and a demand for 20k a year and being told I cannot use the word ONVIF in any way shape or form seems insane! Thoughts?
OOMKiller... in most cases where it has killed things, i feel it would’ve been far better to just let the system slog along and spill onto disk instead of killing the process outright, or as the article says killing the wrong process like it always seems to do.
whenever this happens I have to reboot my system anyways because it becomes unuseable, e.g. it becomes impossible to type / move the mouse for >1 hour. between me hitting the hardware reset button of my computer (or sometimes the power plug on more modern userspace-based reset buttons) vs just killing a process, I know what I prefer
We implemented both WebTransport (for browsers) and native QUIC (for server-to-server) after discovering browsers block raw QUIC. Works today in Chrome/Edge, integrates with existing RTMP/RTSP streams in MediaMTX.
DeepSeek is bad for hallucinations in my experience. I wouldn't trust its output for anything serious without heavy grounding. It's great for fantastical fiction though. It also excels at giving characters "agency".
I should have said, I am looking for posted chat logs where the prompts are shared as well. I really enjoy the process of making stories with AI and I am curious to see how others do the same thing.
