I'm founder of https://and-lights.eu and it's not that simple of just purchasing. There are mainly three aspects.

First you have the hardware itself, your drones. Best is to create them yourself. As there aren't many of the shelf products and they are mostly coming from China where safety concerns aren't that high valued as US and EU. For example letting them do a return to home, is a nightmare. As they will just fly across your other drones and hit other while doing. We have also incorporated lots of redundancy, so that we have different ways to communicate with the drone. And also a manual override so that you can steer the drone personally into safety.

Next you have the software. That will steer the drones. You have two possibilities for that. Either pre-program all drones with a gps path and send a start signal. Or do it our way and realtime manage the drones (ofcourse with backup path if communcation fails). On the lower level of the software we have our red box that does collision avoidance. So even if you ask the drones to go through each other, that box will stop them before they hit eachother. On top of that we have the real route planning that should produce non-hitting paths. Real-time planning is harder to implement. But it makes sure that you can replace drones if pre-flight checks doesn't let the drone fly. And also makes sure you can adapt the show mid-air. For example to sync up with a live performance.

And then the 'boring' part. Getting a license. We have already created more than 800 pages of certification and safety procedures. Just to get a license. That is because in a lot of countries drones are certified as airplanes. So procedures are also like airplanes. Flying a normal drone is possible, but for drone shows you have to get 3 exceptions certified. Namely flying at night, flying in formation and automatic flying. And by creating your own drone, you also need to homologate and certify your drone.

Hope I gave you a little hint of what is needed ;)
Are people actually downloading dependencies on the fly like this? IMO a bundler is absolutely essential. What if npm is down? What if the version of a dependency has been deleted for some reason? These are surprises you absolutely do not want when a function is starting.

The real LPT is always in the comments.
That’s my option (a) above. I too am curious!
I’ve been using this in private Beta as a daily driver for about 6 months.

The team has been responsive, constantly improving, and bringing real innovation to the space.

Highly recommend!
> SSH debugging

Have you seen https://github.com/marketplace/actions/debugging-with-ssh? (Maybe this only works with public Github - that's all I use). I add an `if: ${{ failure() }}` to only spawn the SSH when my job fails and use that to debug CI issues.
Just installed! I've been looking for something like this after our small dev team went remote.
The demonstration is irrelevant. The issue isn't what GPT-3 can or cannot do, but what this class of models can do.

Reduce knowledge to particular kinds of information. Gradient descent discovers information by finding parameters that correspond to the test criteria. Given a large enough data set that is sufficiently descriptive of the world, the "shape" of the world described by the data admits better and worse structures to predict the data. The organizing and association of information that we call knowledge is a part of the parameter space of LLMs. There is no reason to think such a learning process cannot find this parameter space.
Awesome! I loved using Hipmunk when it was available. Definitely going to check this out.
I'm sorry, but we seem to be talking past each other.

Why is it a problem that statements are "devoid of return information"? A statement occurs in a position where, by definition, no value it produces will be used.
I feel like it's just a very self aware parody of the genre at the end of its natural life, looking back at the previous 10 years of peak cultural cyberpunk
I feel like what you are critiquing is explicitly something HN encourages.
Many have it.

Much less people have the aptitude for quantum physics which is way harder. Programming is so easy that even as a teenager you have sufficient background to learn it.

I assure you that as a teenager, it's very unlikely you had any aptitude for quantum physics or any of the hard mathematics required to understand general relativity.
I would go one step further and question the premises that a) the next google must necessarily be dominant/monopolistic and b) that said dominance must necessarily ride on top of free user economics.

What TikTok shows to me is that users want specific things when they go to a site: for TikTok, they want fresh entertainment, plain and simple. I go to HN when I want tech discussion. I go to reddit when I want aggregation of niche topics. I go to costco.com when I'm looking to shop.

Google is frankly a horrible experience for ecommerce, it simply cannot compete w/ the likes of Amazon or any retail store website, really. Being a search portal, it's fundamentally incompatible with the concept of evolving through permanence of a hivemind; every new search is like reseting a would-be community to zero all over again, so you cannot gradually build up a collective commons on Google like you can on HN. Youtube has recently gotten pretty bad with cycling fresh content on the front page. For stack overflow sort of stuff, any other search engine does more or less the same. For trivia, Siri/Alexa are fine substitutes. The Google search properties have become mediocre on average; they're not particularly great at any particular thing.

Are many of these domains walled gardens? Yes, think of things like Doordash/Uber Eats grocery catalogs, a ton of brick and mortar shops are choosing to integrate with these delivery apps, and these catalogs are completely invisible to Google. News SERPs on Google are often garbage since they just link to paywalled content half the time, might as well just get a subscription from the actual news outlets. Etc.

IMHO, the next Google is already here, and it's everybody else wisening up to the simple business fact that they need to own the top of their funnels.
It looks like a strong chip. They are pretty much jumping one or two x86 generations with every release, sort of like what Apple did for many generations in a row starting with the A6 or whatever.

One difference here is that Amazon isn't actually designing the cores: they are using Arm reference designs: in this case the N1 Neoverse, and building around that.
the problem with telemetry data is that sometimes you can accidentally collect sensitive data without realising it. i know one library on iOS was collecting the coordinates of all touch events. however, that meant it was collecting the coordinates of all touches on the keyboard which made it possible to reconstruct user input into password fields.
> For the bulk of Google's visitors, they're good enough

I'm not sure that's true. Just to pick an example, basically any type of product search now leads to auto-generated spam/borderline-spam websites that scrape reviews from Amazon, which are themselves often fraudulent.

I guess you could say that's "good enough" but only in the sense that someone being scammed at some point consents to something that makes them a victim of the scam.

For many searches, you'll see "reddit" autocompleted to the end of the search because Google's organic results are not good enough and people are trying to weed out the spam somehow, albeit in an imperfect way that restricts results to one site.
There's an active Discord with 700+ Warp users. I reported issues on it and immediately got helpful replies. They're talking to lots of real-world users.

My take is that the hacker news crowd is not the target market for Warp. I think it does an amazing job of making the terminal easy and friendly to infrequent users. I'd recommend it to anyone who tells me they prefer a git GUI interface over the shell because of how confusing the shell is. (this is where Warp's completions really shine)

But if you're already very comfortable in the shell and have a customized setup there's some very rough parts of Warp. Lack of any compatibility with existing bash/zsh completions is the huge deal breaker for me.

Also you'd be surprised at the number of software engineers that really don't care how many sentry logging calls their apps make. I completely agree with the sentiment, and I personally just disable the Warp application's internet access to address this, but it's worth recognizing that we're in the minority of people that care.
Ok totally fair! This does not work for dinner party planning. I was thinking more as an answer to “hey are you going to this party on Saturday?”
Which is worth nothing if it can't be examined and verified (not to mention it can change with any release).
Digma aims to make observability relevant to developers by gleaning insights from OpenTelemtry and other sources and providing feedback on real code behavior inside the IDE
It helps that Vinge is a computer scientist; he probably had a better view of what was coming down the pike than Gibson did. And no, he's a solid writer, but not the stylist Gibson was (and, actually, still is).
So, I was excited by the idea of a terminal that added new functionality and wasn't electron based. So I downloaded Warp.

And, honestly, I can't use it. They interfere with the operation of the shell to such a degree that I had to disable almost my entire bash configuration.

Add to that, that I already have the following features native to bash shell (and I'm sure they're in zsh too):

- history of commands: easily searched by pressing ↑ or ⌃+r
- completion: via the awesome bash-completion project
- split panes: both terminal.app and screen do this for me
- session sharing: screen + ssh does this for me
- "workflow" sharing, I can and do write shell scripts that can be used by others

I've seen comments trying to defend this that REALLY make me doubt that the devs even understand how a terminal + shell work. A shell script will run in it's interpreter regardless of what shell you happen to use, shared commands will inherently be in the flavour of shell-script that the sharer is used to, and so i have to know how to use their shell as well as mine to translate between them, which again isn't a problem when running a script. They claim that people don't document their scripts, but the same people who won't document a script won't document stuff they share in warp. They claim there's no way to find documentation natively from the terminal or to search for scripts based on what they do, apparently they haven't heard of apropos and man pages?
Using site:reddit.com in google usually gives pretty decent results
Because power users turn off telemetry where they can which means they only see telemetry from "normal users".

That's my theory anyway.
My theory is that attractiveness is a big factor. As a below average male I have similar suspicions of more attractive women striking up conversation. Yet I had a very attractive male friend who said he quite often was approached with genuine romantic interest.

We have a cult in my town. They brand themselves a flavor of sufi. They have a few businesses. A couple seats on the city council.

Imagine talking to a guy who's trying hard to sell you a used car. It's like that. Really pushy and manipulative.

They focus their recruiting efforts on teens, children, college students. They have a private kindergarten/gradeschool.

Years ago I read an FBI list of standard psychological manipulation techniques used by cults. Then I saw them in action at their local coffee shop. Hey, they're "Love Bombing" that person!

I was talking to one of their members. Sure we're a "cult". Sure we practice "mind control". Then he proceeds to tell me their special definitions for cult and mind control. That's called "taking control of the language".

They use their members as cheap labor at their businesses. And send the profits to their headquarters in Bangladesh where they have some schools, businesses and an orphanage.

The leadership has very nice cars.

My friend was in it for a few years. Then the "Murshid" (top guy) ordered my friend to send his daughter to their special school in Bangladesh. He noped out at that point.

IIRC, that was Mailbox. Dropbox bought them a month after launch and then, sadly, killed it off two years later.[^1]

> To deliver this fusion result, First Light used its large two-stage hyper-velocity gas gun to launch a projectile at a target, containing the fusion fuel. The projectile reached a speed of 6.5 km per second before impact. First Light’s highly sophisticated target focuses this impact, with the fuel accelerated to over 70 km per second as it implodes, an increase in velocity achieved through our proprietary advanced target design, making it the fastest moving object on earth at that point.

Conceptually, maybe nothing, but we aren't really talking about your average MG-42 here.
>Is this still true in the 2020s?

The laws of physics haven't changed in 80 years. Even if you started with yellow cake uranium (~70% enriched, and itself already nearly impossible for a non-state actor to acquire), to reach weapons grade at >95% you'd need hundreds of tons of it, and massive industrial scale chemical facilities to convert that into uranium hexafluoride and pull out the U235 isotopes [0], where the ratio of U235 to U238 (the non-fissile isotope) is 99:1. The vast majority of the Manhattan Project was in the engineering challenges required to do this, not really in the construction of the bomb. So far, only 5 countries in the world have been able to do it.

OK, I can believe this has non-engineering issues. Still cannot "edit as new" for when you want to edit what you posted in the exact some editor state as when you posted it. What you edit and what gets posted can differ radically. This is well-trodden territory in the email world. Accordingly, Fastmail service has "Edit as New" and Apple's iOS Email App has "Send Again" for email.

I'm pretty confident Twitter could manage "edit as new" for Tweets, and it would be useful with or without tweet editing.
Alright, so he was convicted for inciting racial hatred once, and prosecuted sixteen times.
Yeah, re-reading my post, I probably should have expanded on the 'if dosed and chosen properly' part. Obviously, if you take the wrong dose, or have an adverse reaction, it's going to not very fun. I recommend talking to a psychiatrist.

That said, my first go-around with anti-depressants was a hugely overdosed prescription of venlafaxine from an overenthusiastic doctor, which is pretty side-effect-tastic, so my eyes were rolling out of my head and I was falling off chairs for a week and it was still far superior to being depressed.

Not taking anti-depressants because you're worrying about the side effects is like not wearing your motorcycle helmet because there might be a scorpion in it. The risk of dying from depression is really high. The risk of suffering from anti-depressants is fairly remote.
There are many who became millionaires through unions.

It’s almost as if humans will work to enrich each other and the numbers game is artificial political semantics; millionaires appear in both constructs!

At least I can vote and discuss openly union operations.

Not so with Papa Elon. The outputs of labor are his preferred targets.

Why does humanity keep doing this?

Oh and governments serve at the will of the people which seems fine with the status quo. I’m not expecting much movement there. Any improvement on Main Street has to occur within politics as usual which means deflating Elon for change.

It’s really sus to suggest his vision for the far future is possible given he sits right at the same edge of discovery we do. “Outlook uncertain” for that far down the road is the only honest answer. Especially when “build rockets to nowhere” and even EV production are exacerbating industrial feedback loops threatening the species.

Diversity in thought leadership is good, imo.
My knowledge comes from someone who helped develop Dolby Digital on film so I'm pretty sure it's correct.
This is why I find it hard to just strike up a conversation, even at a conference. I’ve always admired people who can.

At a party, it’s no problem.
> I really wanted to like it, too. The screenshots look great

My thoughts exactly. I don't use potential keyloggers on my browser (think grammarly or similar), I'm not going to install a terminal making requests or getting my data as I use it.
That chart is as of June 2, 2021. California didn't lift its COVID restrictions until June 15, 2021. The numbers started increasing soon after. Here is the current version of the same chart:

If we are to consider the definition of "better off" in strictly financial terms, the answer is clear. However, if we take into account a definition of "better off" that includes factors such as life satisfaction, I don't have the data to answer.

You compared a top 50 school to a top 10. Of course it was different, and quite possibly more rigorous.

I'm comparing a (my non-selective public) top 10 engineering to other top 10s [engineering]. Near peer selective to near peer non-selective. You compared a top 50 to a top 10 ranked engineering, far from peer schools. Starting with 10% says nothing about the difficulty of the program. You don't even know that they were the best 10% of engineering material, just that they were the top 10% of what the school thought were picks as candidates. Selectivity does not confer difficulty. High (50%+)success rate of your selective cohort does not confer low (25%-) success rate of the non-selected group.

> My main point is that my experience with schooling is more extensive then yours.

It seems we have the same amount of experience with top 10 schools, where N=1 for both. I have been to a 'lower tier' school but not for engineering so I didn't even bother to mention it, and yeah I agree it was a joke comparatively.
Thanks for giving it a try!
a lot of those are actually a 3rd party sales/marketing company that is paid a commission of something like 20-30% of each signup. If you pressure them enough they'll admit they they are not W2/T4 employess of the charity they're pushing.

the vancouver area was plagued with the "because I'm a girl" charity muggers for years downtown
this seems like brilliant tech that will unfortunately not succeed due to the business model. Cost/billing, forced outgoing requests, forced signup, and most of all, additional security risks. I'm not using a terminal with all my SSH keys if it is calling out to the internet.
I have a similar question and want to ask the nix crowd about an approach - how well does it work to have nix just manage the nativeish stuff like Python and maybe the compiler chain, but still use the language's package manager (pip/poetry) for language deps ?

Both for parent's quandary, and for when you're working with a group and don't want to force everyone else to use Nix.
The ability to add location and an Alexa skill to allow me to ask Alexa where my foo is would be great.
I ran into glitches around the pnpm script that wrap binaries. I had to change VS Code launch settings to use node directly to invoke the package bin.

Some create scripts invoked via `pnpx create...` exit the terminal without showing prompts. No issues running those scripts when using npm or yarn. IIRC, that was happening on Windows + Windows Terminal.

The name is too close to npm. I'll inadvertently type `npm` and that starts downloading all dependencies again. Of course I press `Ctrl+C` which has led to corruption of the node_modules folder on a few occasions.

I would not recommend mixing pnpm and npm. pnpm uses its own lock file. There's no guarantee your app/library will be using the exact package versions everyone else is using. That leads to it-works-on-my-machine kind of bugs.
> Previously you had to interact with it through proprietary Nvidia APIs

That was never the case, OptiX was never intended for use in games. VK_NV_ray_tracing and DXR 1.0 were pretty much there since launch for the former and quite soon afterwards for the other.
Thanks for writing your thoughts! I can understand the skepticism and ultimately this is not far from the business we want to build.

The terminal is totally free for individuals and our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

We are also definitely open-sourcing parts and potentially all of the code.

You can read more about how we see it here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400.

Supposedly the laser enrichment process is smaller and cheaper, though it's also kept secret.

You still need thousands of kilograms of natural metallic uranium, which is a rare heavy metal with few commercial uses and one really salient illegal one, or thousands of tons of uranium ore, which, see previous. It's hard to buy this stuff secretly, because not many people have it, and people who do have it have a big, salient, vested interests in not selling it to people who want to make nukes! It's not like selling drones to Saudi Arabia and saying "oh well guess it'll suck to be a Houthi". You might get nuked!

Nation-states can pull this off, since they have both land and state security apparatuses. Empirically, private groups or terrorist cells haven't been able to do it. The rumors I've read and the impression I've received is that AQA spent decades trying, lost a lot of lieutenants and trucks full of cash to CIA honeypots, and eventually gave up. Too hard, too expensive, too many dead ends and entrapment schemes.
Yup, that's an immediate deal-breaker for me. Shame because this looks really interesting :/

Honestly I’d be happy with a search engine that does search well, and use dedicated tools for the other widgets.

I think browsers could do a better work at using the omnibar as a command line tool to cover these cases. For instance I’d really wish it would be easier to map incantations like “/mtg intl” and have a predefined action executed. Bookmark keywords are already half the way there.
