How is Svelte intended to be used that is so hard to learn?

WASI is not meant for browsers, it's for using WebAssembly as platform-independent bytecode in non-browser environments.

The article claims they got it working in the browser, but not how.

That'll be added using the @wasmer/wasi npm package. We'll be updating that soon

So could one use this to run a fully socket capable Jupyter notebook? There are some infosec dashboards I would like to build, but not having the ability to actually run socket capable code killed the interesting aspect of doing it in the browser.

Browsers don't have TCP/UDP/etc. sockets, so a WASI impl running in one can't provide that either.

Possibly it could be emulated using a Wireguard bridge? A Tailscale connection might be interesting.

Something like: https://tailscale.com/blog/ssh-console/

This is exactly what we do in Webvm: https://leaningtech.com/webvm-virtual-machine-with-networkin...

wasi -- web assembly system interface -- is explicitly designed for not-browser environments

you can hack it into a browser, i guess, but that's subverting the fundamental purpose of the thing

i dont think Linus intended his operating system code to land rocket ships on barges either but hey... we can forgive him.

I think adding "in Emacs" to the title of an article published on Mastering Emacs Dot Org might be a bit redundant.

Scrolled over the title (thought it was some programming algorithm concept) and then by chance I've read the site name saying it's about Emacs which prompted me to open the discussion.

Maybe on some setups the site name is not as easily visible as the title?

What’s visible on the HN page is “masteringemacs”, which is just nonobvious enough to parse (“master in <whatever>”) that it doesn’t register.

some times a bit of redundancy doesn't hurt

I feel like this is a general bias of people who look at reality through a Marxist framing - for their theory of reality to make sense, they need to undervalue any kind of work that does not take the form of "producing material objects".

It makes me worried how people look at this and say it's "the unvarnished truth" because it confirms their biases, even if there is next to no actual evidence that current monopolists are more powerful than historic ones, or that people are actually worse off.

It also bothers me how this kind of article seems to always be written by people who have no idea about what is the kind of work and challenges that go into building products that can actually get adopted by people.

There is no data and that is intentional. This is lazy activism, meant to prey on people's feelings and biases rather than actually propose concrete improvements.

This article is thinly-veiled activism disguised as factual claims, and it is a bit sad how far Cory has gone in this direction. Notice, if you will, that there is no evidence provided that any of his claims about pricing are true at all, and in this very thread people are saying that in their experience they are not.

Amazon still has mostly lower prices than other retailers. Uber is still cheaper than cabs. Whether those prices are sustainable or not is a different issue, but simply claiming that they are actually _higher_ without providing any evidence other than "I saw a $55 Uber fare once" is not responsible writing.

I want to believe Cory is just devoted to the cause of protecting people from unchecked Big Tech power (which is a legitimate cause I do not oppose) and he is letting his confirmation bias get the best of him.

Can anyone ELI5 how the hell this is possible? I think I have a decent model of how diffusion models work: They're trained by teaching them to denoise a bunch of images, so they eventually learn how to create images out of noise and the prompt biases them as to what they should "see" in the noise. But this just seems like absolute magic.

Apparently the site got deathhugged. Does anyone have an archive link?
