New comment by maxloh in "Taking on CUDA with ROCm: 'One Step After Another'"

maxloh — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 02:26:40 +0000

I have the same experience with my RX 5700. The supported ROCm version is too old to get Ollama running.

Vulkan backend of Ollama works fine for me, but it took one year or two for them to officially support it.

New comment by maxloh in "Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI"

maxloh — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 14:31:27 +0000

Note that this is fundamentally different from the Astral acquisition. At the end of their announcement, they stated:

> Cirrus CI will shut down effective Monday, June 1, 2026.

And earlier in the article:

> Joining OpenAI allows us to extend the mission we started with Cirrus Labs: building new kinds of tooling and environments that make engineers more effective, for both human engineers and agentic engineers.

It isn't a product-led acquisition, but more a talent one.

New comment by maxloh in "JSON Formatter Chrome Plugin Now Closed and Injecting Adware"

maxloh — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:35:36 +0000

For context, the latest version of extension spec (Manifest V3) is just 1.5 years old. It isn't something old or legacy.

New comment by maxloh in "JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware"

maxloh — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:21:56 +0000

To install a JSON formatter, you need to grant the following access:

1. Access to the page DOM to read the raw JSON content.

2. Permission to modify the DOM to display the formatted results.

Unfortunately, these requirements necessitate broad host permissions, which allow an extension to inject ads or track user behaviors. There is no alternative way to define a strict security boundary that allows these specific permissions while preventing abuses.

SpaceDrive might offer a more comprehensive and better-maintained version of this, though it is not primarily advertised for this kind of use.

New comment by maxloh in "Adobe modifies hosts file to detect whether Creative Cloud is installed"

maxloh — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:25:05 +0000

Software installers need Administrator privileges to edit C:\Program Files\. But once they get the permission, you can't really tell if they are "genuine", or if they also edit C:\Windows\ or messing around the registry.

It is just a really bad design without built-in sandboxing.
