Thanks for the link! It's actually rendering to Dom huh... Interesting.


Yep! (It's annoyingly nontrivial to do with gpu acceleration, but we'll have a guide out as soon as we figure it out)

(I work at drifting in space)


That's excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing that. I'm curious how the "pixel-streaming" works in terms of what protocol is used and what technologies are used on the browser-side.


You might enjoy this talk that Abhishek (@pretentious7) gave on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZBuYjy5rWE


Thank you, interesting talk! I'm curious if the technologies used for streaming video games (e.g. something like moonlight) can be used for low-latency and high-fidelity streaming of applications or desktops within containers.


I have also been having some rather inexplicable issues with paying oracle, it's really strange.


Have they not always been 300% more concerned as an org with landing sales/enticing people than actually delivering a well-polished product?


But there's a lot of eccentrics whose life is the internet. To disconnect for them is essentially the same as solitary confinement.

Insofar as privacy, compartmentalization, and good opsec, near did all of that, doesn't help when the mob goes after friends and family.


Did he, though? He was famous for being an incredible hacker, and then he conflated this profile with his furry persona and used it to talk about LGBT stuff. It saddens me so much that things have to be this way, that people can't put themselves out there without being (literally) bullied to death, but being pragmatic he could have separated those two "personalities", especially considering one of those is extremely well known in certain circles.


I don't entirely agree with this premise.

I do agree on the furry + anime vices stuff that mixing that in with the legendary byuu was silly and wouldn't surprise me if it was unfortunately due to their autism (they they have it in the twitter thread).

However I don't think LGBT + incredible hacker is a huge blunder IF and only IF, you can be assertive about it, which is much easier said than done when:

A: Most people just want to live their lives without none-sense

B: LGBT people are far more likely to be brought up either through parents or environment to feel the need to be introverted about themselves to protect themselves from harm.

But say someone like say Rupaul, even if they get hate, they simply would never take it.

Here's some benchmarks. But in summary, for small simple hot loops, chrome is just as fast using js, but for firefox wasm gives big performance improvements.

Of course, if you can use SIMD instructions, then wasm will win, but that's less fair.

We did that! Yea chrome basically keeps right up, of course not accounting for SIMD


(https://blog.feather.systems/jekyll/update/2021/06/21/WasmPe...) OP was very useful for us in optimizing our js vs wasm benchmarks. We were wondering what a very simple parallel problem like mandelbrot rendering would show about browser jits vs their wasm compilers.

Our conclusion was that wasm was consistent across browsers whereas js wasn't. Further, If you can use simd, wasm is faster. Also, v8 is way faster than spidermonkey.


Your link gives a 404, I think there is a problem with the path in the URL.

And since you are talking about the fastest mandelbrot on the web, here is my contribution https://mandelbrot.ophir.dev

It renders in real time and is fully interactive, all in pure js.


Does it still 404? Sorry I made some mistake with it. Theres a link in the post to an interactive demo.

The reason I said fastest is cause I wrote the hot loop with SIMD instructions. I'll be adding in period checking and stuff in a couple months time, will be sure to refer your work then, thanks.
