What Chromium versions are major browsers are on?
Summary: Chromium Drift Chromium Drift How far behind is each major Chromium browser?. Check out the GitHub repo. Refresh Loading…
HN Discussion: I would like to see all “desktop” applications that use Electron listed and how big of a Chromium drift is there, especially how many applications are shipping runtimes with unfixed vulnerabilities.. > Why does Chromium version lag matter? > users are exposed to known, already-patched security vulnerabilities Then why only focus on major versions? Don’t minor versions/revisions have security fixes?. Cool idea, but without longer-term tracking of how long each browser lags for each Chromium release, it’s hard to draw any meaningful conclusions. It’s also clear that in the case of major vulnerabilities, vendors would fast-track adoption of the patch. I w….

Himanshu Sheoran Valter Wik Copy Link Commitment Issues: Unverified Evaluations in Dusk’s PLONK We found a critical soundness vulnerability in dusk-plonk , the PLONK implementation powering Dusk Network’s ~$60M market cap .
HN Discussion: I notice no mention of a bug bounty. Did they not get paid for this? All I could find of a Dusk bug bounty was this blog post from 2023[0]: > Although we do not currently have a bug bounty program, we will certainly create an extensive one in the near futur…. Many years ago I attended an academic cryptography conference and took part in a panel there.

In the early days, I had a shoestring budget, and would often apply for financial aid. The combination of Southwest’s Wanna Get Away tickets and flexible travel credit policy enabled me to attend many conferences.
HN Discussion: Being a “superfan” of a corporation is already kind of questionable, but especially so when its leadership has been steadily dismantling so many great customer-friendly things that distinguished them from the competition. I’m glad at least something like th…. After years of flying Southwest, I recently had the opportunity to tour the headquarters in Dallas. I particularly enjoyed seeing the full-motion 737 simulators, Network Operations Center, and TechOps maintenance hangar up close.

HN Discussion: I feel his pain. I am more towards the opposite end of the spectrum [1]. I program to get things done. Usually, I don’t like programming. It’s too focused on one thing. Sometimes I like it though, precisely because it’s focused on one thing. But I love the…. I’m not sure how I feel (or should feel) when I read posts list this. Here I am still coding (mostly) by hand. While I also sometimes do chat with qwen or use an agent to save some time writting tests or yaml, or “implementing” a draft version of a change,…. IMO assisted coding (auto complete style) has more flow state than the old days of getting stuck on obscure bugs (as satisfying as those were to crack). Full agent coding however is the complete opposite, you’re in constant damage control of a junior who mo….
Alert-Driven Monitoring

It’s the alerts. “it’s not X it’s Y” at this point when I see this pattern in writing I assume most if not all of it is AI generated - same with em-dashes. This is not to discount the idea that…. I certainly agree in spirit that the alerts are important, and should be actionable. But I wouldn’t start at just “looking at the service” and then trying to define the first set of alerts.

DeepSeek V4 – almost on the frontier
Summary: DeepSeek V4—almost on the frontier, a fraction of the price Simon Willison’s Weblog Subscribe Sponsored by: MongoDB — Join MongoDB.local London 2026 on 7 May to learn how teams move AI from prototype to production. DeepSeek V4—almost on the frontier, a fraction of the price 24th April 2026 Chinese AI lab DeepSeek’s last model release was V3.2 (and V3.2 Speciale) last December . They just dropped the first of their hotly anticipated V4 series in the shape of two preview models, DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4-Flash .
HN Discussion: Deepseek v4 Pro feels like Claude Opus 4.6 in it’s personality but here’s what I did find out about costs: I did cut loose Deepseek v4 on a decent sized Typescript codebase and asked it to only focus on a single endpoint and go in depth on it layer by layer….

The biggest differentiator for me: DeepSeek just does what I ask. I’ve tried using both GPT and Claude for reverse engineering recently, both refused. I even got a warning on my OpenAI account.

The Internet works so well because it doesn’t have to. The IP and lower layers of the internet stack make no promises of delivery.
HN Discussion: I like the networking perspective, but the ML perspective is such a loose analogy that it’s hard to even judge. I mean, we’ve known forever softening constraints allows you to reach solutions otherwise unreachable, for one? There’s a gulf of difference betw…. Children learn by playing because not much is expected of the outcome in play. Improvement happens when you can play. When AI has a play environment to learn with reinforcement. When entrepreneurs are allowed to try and fail and do better. Doctors learn by…. Interesting. I could apply this to some people I’ve worked with. They work so well because they don’t have to.

The special wrap is based on the Porsche 935 K3, which competed in major events in the 1980 season including the 24 hours of Le Mans.
HN Discussion: Neat. Porsche releases different gear from time to time based on classic liveries. An espresso cup wearing this livery would be nice.

HN Discussion: But will this go the way of a “non core” product like Optane (or modems for that matter?).. The article says nothing about the construction or special qualities of ZAM, as compared to HBM :(.. It’s crazy that we have stalled on the structure of the basic DRAM cell for decades now.

Credit: Nadya Pichkasova/Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences For decades research has linked coffee consumption to longer life and lower risk of chronic disease—but exactly how those benefits occur has remained.
HN Discussion: I love coffee. It’s good for you, it smells and tastes so good. It wakes you up, and prevents sleepiness after meals. Its stimulant nature is a plus, but not necessarily the main thing.. “While caffeine is the major individual component of coffee, the study suggests that it may not be the primary driver of these health effects.” All you haters that give me grief for drinking my daily cup of decaf can shut up now.. I need more dopamine headlines like this to justify my dopamine addiction to coffee.

In his youth, Quinton was ridiculed for making video game ranking lists instead of paying attention in math class. In adulthood, people sometimes pay him for it.
HN Discussion: Maybe with the source code, I’d be able to figure out what the hell happened in the last ~2 hours of the game.. I wonder if it’s a real leak or just an agent recreation of the source from machine code. I’ve been having fun lately with agents and decompilation. You can literally point them at any game and ask them to decompile the game and structure and format as if i….

HN Discussion: The readme says that unless you’re using vLLM you’re largely out of luck with it?. The trick we use at work is to take note of the instantenous power consumed. The more it’s consuming the more compute it is doing. As far as macro indicators, I’m not sure you can do better than that, without profiling.. This feels like the answer to a problem I’ve had all week. I’ve been using PixiJS (WebGL) for an project and Chrome profiler says the GPU is in use almost 100% of every frame. And nvtop says the GPU is 35% utilized by that (well isolated) chrome tab. But it….

This user, whom we’ll call Mini , was asking the community whether it was worth using JavaScript obfuscation for some of the scripts running on their website.
