In the future, everything will run in the browser, and you will be happy

Billions must browse

@retoor thank you haha
Came up with this when I saw QWEN, something to run LLMs in the browser. After some thought it sure has its use cases, but it took a long to time for me to answer the question of “what’s the fucking point?” If you’re so hellbent on running / training LLMs on the edge, offload it to some worker process on bare metal at least. I can’t really answer how browsers work, but it seems to they’re trying to squeeze a truck through an office door

Also, their demo features loading a 1.5B model into the browser. Might be a good start, but I think my dog would have better benchmark results

Over my dead body

To all of you who want to prevent this… hunt me down and kill me now. Because I'm all in for it, I'm in remission, I'm productive, and I'll do everything to make it happen. Matter of fact, right now I'm moving yet another heavy thing onto the web and giving it a phenomenal UI.

Truly looking forward to :)

A standard platform designed to be able to sandbox untrusted code, with unified APIs for both high level input and GUI and low level HID and GPU access (again, through standard hardware-independent abstractions), with a bytecode that's over 50% as fast as hardware-specific assembly, with several independent implementations? Sign me right up!

i hope not

@lorentz I imagine this could’ve been achieved if gates, mr. torvalds and jobs went against that problem with a more creative instead of competitive mindset. Hell I’d believe even that mr. Torvalds would’ve been all in on this.

And if you wondered, I did that because Mr. Torvalds is the only one of them who I respect. Fuck Gates especially

@retoor wasm exists

All UI stuff maybe, but nothing important.

i don't believe the "happy" part
