WebGPU continues to evolve with new capabilities in Chrome 125. The article highlights two notable additions - subgroups for more efficient development of complex scenes, and rendering to a slice of a 3D texture for efficient re-use of texture memory. As WebGPU matures, it unlocks more advanced graphics and computation scenarios on the web. I'm excited to see developers leverage these capabilities to build immersive, high-performance web apps.

A profile photo of the cargo e-bike taken in front of a wide part of Hamburg's canals or maybe the north of the Außenalster. It's a long tail, big wheel at the front, chunky basket, two seats on the back behind the saddle with a foot rest, padding and guard rails.

This allows users to control which sites can interact with MIDI hardware. Kudos to the Chrome team for keeping the web platform open while prioritizing user choice.
