I don't know what's going on with the Apple devs lately working on Webkit here, but every single build since the 16th of June pretty much has crashed Safari 3.1.2 and DP 4 on XP and Vista for me. I had to revert every single time to a pre-16th build, bleh.

Hopefully they can sort this out in a build or two, it's rather annoying.

This latest build works absolutely great for me. They are back to regular builds now!

Build: WebKit r36108 was built on 05 September 2008 and is a 23.2 MB download.

wow, it seems they have upped the revision number a lot in one day.

http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/trunk/win/1

September 7, the revision number goes from 36135 to 36254 :blink:

And it seems the latest nightly (362xx) have reclaimed the crown in Sunspider. Now it's faster than both Chrome and TraceMonkey in the Apple benchmark.

The Javascript speed war is here! :laugh:

SquirrelFish Extreme Accelerates JavaScript Even More

113350-extreme.jpg

The Webkit blog has posted benchmarks on their "next generation" JavaScript interpreter called SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX). SquirrelFish Extreme uses "more advanced techniques" to deliver even faster JavaScript performance.

The new version of SquirrelFish is nearly twice as fast the first version of SquirrelFish which we previously reported on. It is also over three times faster then the current Safari 3.1 version that is available from Apple.

JavaScript is heavily used in many modern interactive websites, including Apple's own MobileMe web apps. Google is also investing heavily in improving JavaScript performance and is working on their own accelerated JavaScript interpreter called V8. According to one blog, SquirrelFish Extreme is 38% faster than the current version of V8.

SquirrelFish is available in the nightly betas of Webkit for personal testing, and should eventually make its way into future Safari releases.

Finally I updated to the latest build after quite a long time. They are releasing almost everyday. Enjoy!

Build: WebKit r37458 was built on 10 October 2008 and is a 23.5 MB download.

What am I doing wrong? I've been applying the nightlies successfully for many months but a few months ago it would crash every time I would try to reopen safari. I gave up and just now tried applying the latest webkit, which worked when I ran the nightly but crashes every time I try to open Safari up afterwards. I tried other builds but they also crash.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
