tfjs VS WebKit

TensorFlow.js

Many people seem to be unaware of tensorflow.js, an official JS implementation of TF

https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs

I'd love to see PyTorch in JS, but I think unless you get it running on the GPU it won't be able to do much.

Also, Tensorflow.js WebGPU backend has been in the works for quite some time: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-backend-...

It's a pity that tfjs never truly developed any decent ops. E.g. you need lgamma to implement the cap for zero-inflated poisson regression and tfjs simply doesn't have that: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/issues/2011

People have been doing it for long with WebGL, see eg https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs and https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2021/09/02/onnx-...

thanks, no not unity, going to show it as a demo with threejs + tensorflow on the web. I found a github request to add face orientation https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/issues/3835 looks like they assigned someone to add it but doesn't look like its available yet, but there's some posts about the math I can use to get rotations based on some of the landmarks

There already exist a wide variety of neural network inference engines that run in web browsers (e.g. TensorFlow.js and, my personal favorite for use with PyTorch models, ONNX Runtime Web), but pre- and post-processing has always required imperative manipulations on flat buffers rather than a clean ndarray interface.

Multiple engineers are working on adding it back: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed...

Since 2023 Chrome announced the View Transition API, and it looks like Safari is also going to support it soon.

One heap per type.

Here’s an allocator optimized for that use case.

To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)

When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds

Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...

also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)

I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.

Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1

1: See for example: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/tree/main/Source/JavaScript...

No, it's unrelated.

It's being worked on now: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/17320

It is different. The cross-site navigation flag is a couple of years old. It was enabled by default for iOS in November 2018 for example https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/e191fc8c412850cb9fd0...
