You have no idea what you're talking about if that's what you think SREs are.

They released Argon shortly after announcing it, so I think some benefit of the doubt is reasonable here.

That's actually a little confusing to me: The 8F and 6F diagrams don't show why 6F takes less area per cell.

What would a "fully-constrained tool call environment" be?

Read where "required" was in the comment you're flipping out about: it didn't say that the software had to be vibe coded, just that it was.

The RCE was caused specifically by a custom Claude generated overlay, so finding the RCE did require using this vibe coded software.

What is this doing on the front page?

The DOM in modern browsers is backed by texture compositing just like people hand-roll with canvas and webgpu, so it can be extremely fast.

If you can get by with canvas rendering, you could instead use HTML and eliminate tons of CSS and layout cost by using CSS containment and absolute positioning:

    #my-container > * {
      contain: strict;
      position: absolute;
    }

AT Proto has a chance to really help here, so that governments and other orgs and publish structured content like posts and events, and have them indexed and distributed through all kinds of AT Proto services and apps, including, but not limited to Bluesky.

I hope to see turnkey organization oriented PDSes that let an admin management multiple accounts, and also host web pages with the same content that's distributed on network. Then gov posts has a web home and can be subscribed to in AT Proto apps.

A lot of that is Waymos not taking highways, but that's changing.

This exactly. The car didn't drive into people: it followed a vendor truck into a place it shouldn't have gone, apparently slowly exited the area.

It's bad, and obviously shouldn't have happened, but the car is cautious around people and didn't hit anyone. It's a far better failure mode than the typical case of a human who drives into a crowd.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand? Not to mention that Wasm that can only run on Wasmer defeats the whole point of Wasm.

You're not helping the negative reputation of Wasmer that's out there with this unprompted promotion.

Wasmer is one of many WebAssembly runtimes, not sure why it needs specific hyping here.

I tend to use Wasmtime, V8, WAMR, and browsers. The point of WebAssembly is that there are many runtimes.

This really should be a WebAssembly runtime so that the same computations can run on different platforms and devices.
