I wonder how the binary size was reduced in the recent two versions?

None of these improvements seem Mac-specific. Does Chrome on other OSs have these?

Nice. Rust Cargo is also trialling out something similar.

Highlights for me:
- tabs in File Explorer
- faster and more accurate search

Most likely referring to "Reflections on Trusting Trust" [0]; i.e. when the compiler is itself the attack vector.

Zed seems to be the successor of Github/Atom's abandoned Xray project [0].
"Responsive", Rust, CRDTs.

Is the random matrix generation section in here up to date?
The official numpy docs [0] seem to indicate that `randn` is legacy, and that `randint` is deprecated.
