Tiny market share compared to top 4, but also looking to expand into HBM in collaboration with CXMT

Yep, and Kokoro-FastAPI (which he already uses) makes it super easy with start-gpu_mac.sh

It feels different this time. I bet there will be a generation of PC enthusiasts that are going to remember Crucial exiting the consumer market to chase AI dollars. And similar, when they hear Micron/Samsung/Sk Hynix, they'd be wary of the price gouging. Gamer's Nexus is doing really good job exposing the DRAM cartel.

Model seems quite capable, but this use-case is just yikes. As if interviewing isn't already a hellscape.

It may look like a crappy Electron app, but Figma has a quite interesting architecture. The browser editor is developed in C++ and cross-compiled to JavaScript with emscripten. The rendering engine looks like its handling HTML, but it's actually rendering their own document format for cross-browser consistency. They have their own CRDT implementation to handle multi-user edits.

Attacking civilian infrastructure is defined as a war crime by the Geneva Conventions. It's not something a person on the internet made up.

Doesn't look like it's using their code. LocalStack is Python, while floci is using Java.

I do the same, plus add tests from early on. New features then naturally are accompanied by more tests.

> It is wise for these Chinese fabs to eventually use a very aggressive dumping strategy to price well below cost push out other players forever, especially in DRAM.

Crucial's departure from the consumer market left such a gaping hole, that CXMT doesn't even need to push other players out to gain a footing.

Can you explain how Claude interacts with the UE Editor? Does it use the Remove Control API through MCP?
