Weren't they just Claude with Computer Agent or browser-use opensource agent in a VM?


Please do. Also try making a newtab page.


Is it completed? Can it run all tests?


judging by the improvements section at the bottom, no.

But it's written in rust! Look how memory safe a program with a couple of seconds total runtime is! (don't mind the logic bugs)


What is your point? Logic bugs can occur in any language. If you decrease amount of other bugs that can happen (like memory safety bugs) then you can focus more on "logic" bugs.


the point is that rust is the wrong tool for the job, imo. Compilers are notorious for not managing memory


And it fits the category of "rewrite it in rust for the sake of rewriting it in rust. Is it at least as good as the original ? No, but at least it's in rust". It reminds me of the recent article on hn talking about rewriting sqlite in rust. Simply put, the point is that even if sqlite is written in C and may have small memory leaks, it works perfectly, being tested and fixed over 20+ years. By rewriting it in rust, OK you'll be memory safe, but you will have logic corner edge cases nasty bugs that will appear, and no one wants that. So sqlite will stay in C.

This is great but I wish CSS output was generated. Anything that can do that?


Mmm interesting.

I'm not sure if it's possible in pure CSS, maybe it is? It relies on creating new SVG elements.

I think including the SVG in whatever website would usually be the simplest way to use it and it's super lightweight.

Feel free to take a look at the SVG generation function here [1] and lmk if you have any ideas to make it happen in pure CSS.

Nice try, CIA


You're supposed to say,

"Not today, CIA" "Nice try, FBI" "Nice attempt at obscurity, Department of Homeland Security"


And don’t forget

“$&773AjjaWj7-_£7f, NSA”

It says 'for Windows' in brackets for nativeness, what does it mean? What language is it then for all 3 platforms.


So, that's Stable Diffusion without license constraints, is it?


No, the inference/training algorithms, being math, are not copyrightable. OP just wrote another implementation. What's copyrighted are the models, which OP did not train from scratch (having neither the training material nor the compute to do that).


> What's copyrighted are the models

Has this actually been tested yet? Or are we still at the stage of AI companies trying to pretend this into reality?


If the models are copyright protected then presumably they obeyed license on the upstream dependencies they included (i.e. the training data).


Is upstream dependency licensure necessary to establish copyright? For example, I Need a Haircut was still a unique work regardless of the rights to sample Alone Again.


I mean, if you take a match to a blank CD-ROM, or shoot neutrinos at a USB drive, there is a very small chance that you get the SD weights stored on them


You can say that about literally any digital information. This isn't really interesting in the context of the copyright status of AI models.


We should be specific when we say "models".

The code outlining the network vs. the resultant weights. (Also vs. any training, inference, fine tuning, misc support code, etc.)

The theoretical diagram of how the code networks and modules are connected is math. But an implementation of that in code is copyrightable.

Afaik, the weights are still a grey area. Whereas code is code and is copyrightable.

Weights are not produced by humans. They are the result of an automated process and are not afforded copyright protection. But this hasn't been tested in court.

If OpenAI GPT 4o weights leak, I think the whole world could use it for free. You'd just have to write the code to run them yourself.


I use model architecture for the code/math and weights for the weights to avoid confusion!

Then there are hyperparameters which are also needed to be known to use the weights with the model architecture.


> I use model architecture for the code/math

Code is copyrightable and math is not. What about 'architecture'?


Oh :( wasn't what I thought it would be. Wondered why it wasn't more blown up on HN!


which means he is still in full violation of their license


I'm curious how Tauri causes different views on different platforms because Tauri frontends are websites and if websites function same way on platforms so should the apps. If websites use something to hide browser differences so should the app developer on Tauri.


Wouldn't an extension be more suitable that runs on Jetbrains boot?


Yes. I;m considering working on it. But a standalone version first.
