I've been trying out this project on my Ayn Odin 3 (Android based handheld with a Snapdragon 8 Elite) lately and I'm genuinely amazed.

It's crazy how the pipeline of FEX, Linux, Proton/Wine and SteamOS lets me play Windows games on a handheld ARM device that was supposed to only run Android.

It sometimes needs some tinkering (as with the SteamDeck), and you won't be able to run the latest games at highest graphics, but I was able to play quite a lot of good titles from my library, self-dumped roms through emulators and even the old Trackmania games from 2008 flawlessly.

I agree with all points and they are the reason I'm very selective which project uses it and which doesn't.

It did give me some ideas for my own stylesheet writing though. The colorsystem is something even non-tailwind projects will have now.

I'm unsure if non-profit funds can be used in that way for a (technically) private inquiry.

Yes, and there is currently talks if this also means NGOs like FragDenStaat or media outlets could no longer request information.

Any PR will get the same quality review. It's just that they now have a fast lane so they don't have to invest that much time to review a PR they won't fix properly and/or support.

Seems like the failsafe also failed today.

At least I (living in the EU) received an email at work on the 18th that had this section under "What has changed":

Maybe it is because it is still in development, but building and running the Hello World example just gives me a blank terminal and a white window that is not responding.

This argument is used again and again and I wonder: Why do "people with money" stay where they are when there are countries, islands, even just states where there is less taxes to pay?

I think every aspect within their opposition is sound and generally to keep the web open and predictable (unlike other oppositions like the Filesystem API).

I just wonder how a highly non-deterministic API like the Prompt API can work in a system that heavily focuses on interop between new and old websites.

What's going to happen is that people build stuff with the current iteration and a few years later a model update will work entirely differently and break the existing implementations. I understand that every once in a while OpenAI also shuts off older models through API but that's a central process.

What if I have Firefox 150 users that haven't updated yet and Firefox 155 users that have different models, while Chrome 160 and Chrome 170 users also exist and have different models. Is it expected that I build entirely different implementations for every browser version out there? Don't the work groups try to prevent exactly that within HTML & CSS through feature gating?

Yeah I wonder, who says I can't build a "cryptominer like" script that injects into many websites and just uses this local LLM api, performs a request from a queue and sends the response to a server, practically creating my very own LLM botnet?

I know you're probably joking, but I was curious how hard it would be.

const cToF = c => c * 9/5 + 32; const a = cToF(31);

A blank cheque to restrict access to any website they want.
