Such a vivid line of description in both interpretations but also a radical change to interpretation.
That's very much how I think about it too, which is why it frustrates me that I can't create canned workflows that apply to all my repos of a certain type (language specific linting and releasing say).

I know I can create user/organisation templates, but all that does is put it in the UI chooser to create a commit to put it in the repo from the web. I want to do something like `include: OJFord/workflows/terraform-provider.yml` or `include: OJFord/workflows/rust.yml`

Perhaps even better would be I don't even have to specify that in the repo, they just apply automatically to any which match a given pattern - named `terraform-provider-*` or having a file `Cargo.toml` say - but I realise that's probably too big a deviation from the way Actions works at this point.
DataGridXL actually only uses canvas for cell background colors (when you use the search bar) and for measuring text width. Everything else is DOM, just not <table> with individual cells.
4. How about an image search that... actually returns the URL of the raw image?

Here's a dead simple use case that is just unnecessarily frustrating. As a user, I want a high res picture of a buffalo. So:

a. I do an image search for "buffalo" and the results page contains thumbnails of buffalos.

b. I click the first result, it's tagged with "nationalgeographic.com" so it's probably gonna be good. Instead of the image, I get another page, but with a slightly bigger picture than a thumbnail. When you over over it, it says "3,072 x 3,072" but the image itself is clearly not that resolution.

c. So I click that image, and it opens a new goddamn tab of nationalgeographic.com's web site, with another picture, still not the promised 3,072 x 3,072! WTF!? When I try scrolling down to look for the raw image somewhere I'm hit with an E-mail signup-wall. Good grief!

d. Little did I know, if at step b. I instead right-clicked on the image and selected "Open Image in a new tab", I'd have gotten the image I was looking for. Thanks, Google, for hiding the 99.9% use case that people want to do.

The actual user experience should have been:

a. I do an image search for "buffalo" and the results page contains thumbnails of buffalos next to clickable .jpg links. The End.
Actually I would say collaboration is a huge win. Right now we do shared screens when we have to do some CLI operation.

I know and have worked at companies with very complicated setups for CLI-based workflows where you need 2 people to agree for each command. This could potentially solve all of that.

That being said, with the move to containers there's a lot less CLI surgery to do.

Ok, so how does the new generation pay for itself? I couldn't find that anywhere in the article.
Based on other stuff I've read him say, I feel like he might actually indeed be implying that things like slums and the dominance of megacorps and the ultra-rich are to him more central/significant themes/aspects of Neuromancer than AI's or cyberspace! Or at least that they are more central/significant than people focused only on the cyberspace thing recognize.

Gibson had of course famously never used the internet when he wrote Neuromancer (on a typewriter).
When I visited my mom in Romania, I was amazed that hair dressers filled *exactly this purpose*. It almost felt like you were "Googling" for 30 minutes and getting a haircut as a side-effect.

Yeah I was part of a community that coordinated several logos/art pieces and it was a lot of fun. Almost all of the communities in the area we were in banded together into an alliance and we beat off a bunch of attacks, mainly streamers who thought we looked like easy pickings.

Agreed on the flags though, they're just so boring. At least a lot of the flags ended up with artwork on them this time though. Some of the big streamers were pretty irritating too, they just seemed like they wanted to ruin peoples fun. I don't mind chaos but it's more interesting if it's a swarm like the void and not just some guy screaming into a mic to attack a random spot.
Hmm, I don't think Gibson hates his work. What do you mean?
Just as the Witcher games are basically fan fiction paying homage to Sapkowskis books, CP2077 needs to be seen as a homage to many classics of the cyberpunk genre. Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell to name a few obvious ones (I also see a lot of Elysium in it, FWIW). The story CD Projekt synthesized based on the concepts of these works is very fitting and surprisingly consistent, IMO. And because it's a homage, criticizing the lack of original ideas in the plot/world misses what the creators apparently set out to do. What _can_ be criticized is that they fell short of their technical ambitions. And despite its flaws, I found the game to offer quite a remarkable experience.
did you like him before that happened?

Nobody is forcing anyone to answer though. If someone has some "do this, don't do that" wisdom they want to share, they could write a blog post or something.

I agree the dynamic of "help" in a discussion forum is always a bit weird, but I think if you're going to take the time to interact with someone who has asked a question, it's most constructive to start by answering (Sam goes for people who just criticize the tone of the question, or say RTFM or whatever. If it's off topic or low quality, it's probably better to just downvote the post).
It's not entirely clear to me that this was legal in the first place - surely there are light pollution laws in Dallas? And also 'disturbing the peace' laws, etc. I wonder if there are any chance of legal consequences for stunts like this.
Yeah, _Automata, Formal Languages, and Turing Machines_ looks like a good topic match (it seems "formal language" is the keyword I was missing?) and Parsing Techniques sounds like an excellent book as well. Thanks for the recommendations!
correct. all it takes is one meth head telling buddies that it's the google for free electronics -- a perfect pivot for when they go public and sell the data further down the line, might as well just SaaS that part now.
We've thought about that, actually! We have an experimental mode where multiple copies of the same query can be created (actually just multiple copies of the leaf node in the dataflow graph, so intermediate state is reused) with different subsets of keys materialized - the idea is then that these separate readers would be run on different regions, so eg the reader in the EU region gets keys for EU users, and the reader in the NA region gets keys for NA users.

I'm about to do this as well. Must be amazing experience. First when I stareted youtube on my FireStick it was one commercial 5 seconds. Then 2 comms 5 sec. Then 2 each 1:30 seconds, but I can "skip ads" after 5 sec. Now its 2, sometimes 3, each 2:50 (I seen ad for some Christian church had 28 minutes!) and sometimes no "skip ads" button. The YT+ cost $18 per month... alot, until you realize huge freedom of not wasting 15 to 30 minutes a day when you want to do some research and watch some science-focused videos.

D had its chance. It made the mistake of trying to be a paid language (like Rebol) and failed at it, because clearly unless you're target a niche but lucrative industry, languages with a paid compiler are mostly a failure in the era of GCC and co. It's too late to develop a significant community around D. Rust clearly got the community aspect right.
>There is much structural regularity in a large text corpus that is descriptive of relationships in the world.

Sure, there is a lot. But let's say we want to learn what apples are. So we look at occurrences of "apple" in the text corpus, and learn that apples can be eaten, they can be sweet, sometimes they are sour, red, sometimes green, and so on.

Can apples spontaneously change size? Hmm, no idea, no mention of that in the text. Can they be used as a knife? Dunno. If I had an apple in New York 4 minutes ago, can someone else be eating the same apple in Hong Kong now? Dunno. Did apples exist in France two million years ago? Dunno. Can you drive to Saturn in an apple? Dunno.

In short, there's no actual model of what an apple is, as an object in space, connected to other objects by various relationships. If there were, the model could figure out the answers to the questions above by inheritance.

Maybe these particular questions happen to be answered correctly by PaLM. Maybe not, but the next LLM will include this comment in the training corpus.

But the reason GPT-3 and other models tend to make no sense is because their output is not constrained by reality. The text in the training corpus tends to conform to reality, but when you prompt the model with questions that nobody would ever write text about, the illusion falls away:

This is not equivalent whatsoever. TFA's point is that the CVEs are unpatched in supposedly supported macOS versions. The link you provided just talks about the CVEs broadly.
Way to make my thoughts turn to darker things again! I was just enjoying the prank aspect of it, but you pulled me back into reality. While a small part of me feels like drone displays in the sky would be awesome, it would of course be awful in practice (after the novelty wears off).
As Gibson himself has said, science fiction is a commentary on the moment in which it's written, and almost never succeeds in predicting the future. That doesn't mean it can't help shape the future (which I think Neuromancer did, at least a little). But that's a different thing.
Thank you. I did have an article on the site that compared DataGridXL with Handsontable, but we had to take it offline since HoT lawyers were not happy with it (you can read a discussion about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30503983). Anyway, it's a good idea. I will create one with Handsontable, Ag-grid, anything else?
This kind of thing sounds smart, but in practice it's terrible to work with higher ups who randomly do this kind of micromanaging and attach immense consequences to it.

Story I heard from a friend was of a CEO who asked a janitor if he used their store and if not why. He replied that he needed size Y of a product to efficiently store in his cupboard, size X was too small and Z too large. For months he hounded the department and forced negative performance reviews on them because there was no good way to provide Y with their current supplier. They ultimately switched to a different inferior supplier because of it (the brand the janitor normally brought) and lost several good employees in the process. They got a lot of negative feedback from customers from the switch and their revenue on the product went down.
Like others here, I'm leery of replacing my terminal with a VC-backed, maybe open-sourced eventually product, and a bit annoyed it claimed a name already in use in the Rust world.

But...it is exciting to see someone reimagining the terminal a bit. People frequently talk about wanting a better GUI interaction model for everyone, but the actual ideas to improve it seem to be missing, I think because the desktop status quo is really not that bad for low-learning curve systems. (In fact, I think many of the changes in the name of desktop/mobile convergence have been for the worse.) I'm way more interested in the idea of creating a hybrid text/graphic command interface for programmers. There's a much better interface waiting for someone with the vision and (more importantly) ability to create an ecosystem around it. Some ideas:

* Warp's more visual completion is super welcome. Does it work with the shell's standard completion scripts?

* Warp's blocks look like a nice step in the right direction. How do they work? I'd guess it's ANSI codes like iTerm uses to distinguish the ends of commands, although that has the downside that a broken/hostile command can impersonate the shell saying the command has ended. It'd be nice to work out some compatible yet more robust protocol. (Maybe the shell takes responsibility for piping subcommand's output through it and filtering, or maybe something else.)

* It'd be interesting to further extend blocks with some protocol that allows programs to output within their block using richer elements: non-monotype fonts, adjustable tables, etc. A little like a Jupyter notebook, maybe. Even better if it works with some richer way for programs to pipe information to each other.

* Likewise, when launching alternate-screen terminal stuff, to allow them to do more with the rectangle than a grid of text. Closer to embedding an arbitrary cross-platform network-transparent GUI, launched from the shell, occupying its rectangle.

* And at first glance, looks like it's missing tmux-like features (whether integration with tmux proper like iTerm has or its own thing). I'd want that in any richer terminal app—most of my work in terminals is on remote machines, often over flaky network connections.

Evaluating Graviton 2 for data-intensive applications: Arm vs. Intel comparison
I get pyenv and rbenv. I do not get why anyone would use goenv. I'm sure there's some corner-casey reason, but it's not a mainstream thing. I can't imagine working in Ruby or Python without wrappers, but Go, just keep the most recent version installed and that's pretty much it. If you're new to Go and installing something like goenv because you had to do that for all the other languages... reconsider!

> any open world game with lots of dialogue will pale in comparison to hand animated faces.

Pretty sure this won't age well - or that it's already aged out. There's only so much animators can do. In the film industry algorithms often augment an animator's work. Often they do the bulk of the work, and animators will fine-tune to get the exact effect envisioned.

Also, artistic animations can look great, but they can also be very inconsistent. Even more so when you need multiple people to work on thousands of lines of dialogue. It also requires an enormous budget - not all studios will have Gollum-like funding for every single NPC.
Let me decide that, thanks.

There's nothing to rationalize. Elon had some nice visionary talks which I like, but mostly don't care about - and I'm not going to be mad just because he said something will be in 3 years and it's in 6 or 9 - even 12 is good in my eyes, so what. I like his optimism much more than the """realism""" (read: pessimism) of mostly any other public company's management. His optimism is one of the primary things pushing Tesla forward - kill that and you kill the company.

I mostly care about hard facts on the ground, and these go more than well enough. Along with my investment.
Non naked dudes should probably stop making their images be associated with a clear ideology. You seem to be under the impression that Twitter needs to treat everyone as neutral when the people in question are ideological themselves

Did you try Andi search? It returns full search results alongside the answer and has full preview content for many of the websites, and the content is from the websites not Google or Bing's snippets. It's completely different to the way you described it.

My biggest problem with it is that the alpha version still has errors and is weak for searches like local businesses. Also, big problem is I'm in Australia and everything is in imperial units. Having said that, however, I've been using it since it became available a few weeks ago and it has already improved a surprising amount. And the question answering if you ask specific-enough questions can blow your mind.

Can someone that has experience with Unreal Engine give some sort of approximation of what is required to sort of achieve minimum competency as a developer in it? Like, with web stuff, you can get up and running fairly quickly and slowly scaffold your way to more intricate projects... can the same be done with something like this or is the initial learning curve a bit steeper?
I agree and people forget Twitter owned TikTok four years before TikTok was a thing (in the form of Vine).

I've had no luck reproducing problems in Actions with act, and the rest of the time have problems in act that I don't in Actions it seems.

I like the idea and also would like something first-party, but I imagine it's hard and GitHub would want it to be less buggy than act is, and maybe they're trying but it's not there.

Tbh even if it ran remotely in actual Actions, but just didn't show up in the repo UI, logged locally, that would be fine?

Yes, that is true, but it does seem like that's what their strategy is. If you're using these collaboration tools at your job, you'd have to be using the product already. So that's less of a problem than it would be for say, scripts included with some sort of open source project.

My point is mostly that shell isn't cross-platform, and this is one way you could address that. But it's not a generalized solution, absolutely.

(and yeah, something like Python is better than trying to keep multiple of the same scripts in different languages, for sure. You can do it if you wanted though, if they're small and you're willing to commit to it, I'm not sure I've ever seen it really pulled off.)
