Acquisition of noam shazeer to supercharge their Gemini flagship model line I think made a bigger impact.

To make an argument it was Kevin Hou, then we would need to see Antigravity their new IDE being key. I think the crown jewel are the Gemini models.

A common use of asyncio is a server framework like fastapi that schedules tasks. I used such a framework for a while before realizing that I needed to create_task for within-task concurrency.

Corporations are picking the side that's in power. If team blue is in power they would pick blue. Corporations are (usually) not moral or inherently politically motivated other than to the extent of optimizing short term shareholder value.

Why do you suspect it was vibe coded? There are 2 substantive files that are each less than 100 lines...

Also the readme doesn't have the usual emojis for every bullet point.

They can lock in by subsidizing the price of you use their tool, while making the default price larger for wrappers. This can draw people from the wrapper that can support multiple models to the specific CLI that supports the proprietary model.

Yes it does. And it will fail if there is a combination that is not resolvable.

Is there any security risk to use as project with an embedded .wasm binary? Is there a build process for this that we can reproduce, or is there a way to bring our own if it's a generally available asset?

If you have small hands and you are stretching for delet/backspace and a small kb allows you to hit this key without strain, it absolutely helps with strain on fingers.

I tried many things over the years including other ergonomics and gym etc.

Changing to a smaller split keyboard helped the most and I have not had pain since.

Granted mine has about 50 keys or so so it's not as extreme.
