Not necessarily. The idea is that this is browser-internal, so presumably it would still work even if JS from external sources is disabled.
No. The idea is that website authors do the work. The proposal suggests the browsers wholesale remove support and forget about it.

> Xee implements modern versions of these specifications, rather than the versions released in 1999.
My understanding is that browsers specifically use the 1999 version and changing this would break compat
As if removing XSLT entirely won’t break back-compat?

> Why would long lived VMs be better if they're also using old versions of software?
It's more difficult to break out of a VM and take over the host, unless a container has a very strict seccomp policy that limits the exposed kernel surface area. The Linux kernel's high rate of feature churn has resulted in an endless parade of root exploits. Locking down a container takes effort as you risk breaking the application by removing access to fancy kernel features du jour. VMs have bugs, too, but it's a better situation, especially if the interface between guest and host is limited to a few virtio drivers. Firecracker, for example, takes this minimalist approach; relative to containers it's more of a "secure by default" situation as far as host protection goes, and unless the guest environment requires direct access to peripheral hardware, everything will still work as intended.
So the problem is Linux, not Docker, then.
You are saying we are going to see similar reports for Linux when using these parts? Why did it started happening after a windows update then? And why did it need a patch?
Where does the money get spent? Just developer salaries and marketing?
Yes. Writing a language in your free time means juggling work on the side. Or you can be at Google and get paid to write Go for your job, and get free marketing from it. Even Rust had the backing of Mozilla. Until your "pet" language reaches critical mass that you can sustain yourself and quit your day job, you're fighting the giants.
colejohnson66 commented on ARM adds neural accelerators to GPUs newsroom.arm.com/news/arm... · Posted by u/dagmx
There are now at least three ways to accelerate machine learning models on consumer hardware:
- GPU compute units (used for LLMs)
- GPU "neural accelerators"/"tensor cores" etc (used for video game anti-aliasing and increasing resolution or frame rate)
- NPUs (not sure what they are actually used for)
An "NPU" is a matrix multiplier accelerator. It removes some general-purpose stuff that GPUs provide in favor of more "AI"-useful units, like support for values a byte or smaller (i.e., FP4, INT4, etc.).

Can I just have a backplane? Pretty please?
Sockets (and especially backplanes) are absolutely atrocious for signal integrity.
