I think I'll reserve judgment for when Warp puts its GitHub repository where its canned HN comment is.

If you want to be taken seriously as a security and privacy focused product that can be trusted to handle sensitive data and undertake sensitive operations, this is not a great look. We need to trust you now and be able to trust you today - before general availability. The world of software is littered with "potentially" and "later" statements that somehow never quite manage to arrive.

I hope you can understand our collective skepticism. Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets. It starts with making it easy to trust you by minimizing how much we have to.

I'm going to respond to this post, and your most recent post in the chain, together in this comment because it's easier that way.

>Your post is perfectly clear. It's just not answering the question. Ditto this post.

It does answer the question, you just don't like the answer. Notice how I'm not questioning the why behind why you choose to value how many units of his product he has sold over how he treats others? The simple fact of the matter is that many people put "people over profits" for many reasons - I am but one person and cannot answer for them. This is no different from why you can't speak to why every single Musk fan supports him, because everyone's reasons are different.

>No one owes me anything.

And yet you have repeatedly said...

>The fact that they don't is bizarre and demands an explanation.

I'm not sure how you can say people don't owe you anything when you've demanded it repeatedly.

>... Elon Must being a mean person on twitter...

Actually, I've been speaking broadly this entire time. When I reference how Musk treats people, I am referencing everything he does, not just his actions on Twitter.

I think what this ultimately boils down to is akin to the question you first posed in this thread - "If you hate Elon Musk, consider probing your mind deeply to figure out why." I would like to ask you, why is it so important to you what other people think about Elon Musk, and why do you seem to let it bother you so much if they don't like him? He doesn't seem to let the court of public opinion bother him or hold him back from doing nearly whatever he wants, so he's going to keep doing what he's been doing regardless of what other people think. With that in mind, what does it matter to you - you, who isn't Elon Musk - if an internet stranger isn't a fan of him?
The future search engine will look for content that is produced by humans . We don't need more info for the sake of having info. we need info that we can assume has been produced by an actual sentient being.
The demo was great, but it really fell apart any time the mocap models moved. Despite the animation being great, the movement is still stilted and fake.

The next step change will have to be some form of advanced kinematic rigging that creates advanced motion granularity akin to the graphical fidelity of nanite graphical tech.

UE5 is a step in that direction, but there is still lots of work to be had.

incredible is certainly one definition
I heard about this company on an NPR podcast, and the mission sounded pretty cool and the founder talked about interesting customer experience points, but then I never saw Fast ever being used in practice. I think I read somewhere they only had like $600k in revenue despite raising >$100m.

I wonder what was happening on their sales side… were businesses just really not interested? Was the product out of touch with business reality?
Building an Automated Screenshot Service on Netlify in ~140 Lines of Code
I agree that the idea is good, but I feel like it can be achieved just fine with a local-only form-filler, if it isn't already (all browsers and password managers now offer to save credit cards, and Apple & Google Pay even handle actual payment processing with better fraud protection).

The bootstrapping problem seems like something of their own doing, both because it's a server-side solution as opposed to client-side, but also because there's most likely rent-seeking and extra fees involved. Every merchant wants to make more money so they should've had near-complete coverage very quickly unless there's a significant downside for the merchant for participating in said system.
In the World of NFTs, Who's Making Money Off Your Image?
I agree with everything you said about the spam blog problem.

And yet Travelocity (and others) would have told you how terrible Circus Circus is in five minutes or less.

22,000 reviews, 3.2 stars out of 5, among the worst in Vegas (among major hotels) with a gigantic number of reviews. Its room rate alone helps you to begin immediately forming a good conclusion about its quality. This isn't a subtle thing.

Oh, but that's not realiable, one might say. Yes it is. It does a great job of approximating the quality of the hotel in question, and it's an exceptionally easy and fast means to narrow with. It isn't a perfect approach (is it really a 3.1 or 3.3 star quality?!?) and doesn't need to be, it just needs to let you know that Circus Circus is garbage, and it does exactly that.

> "It was a fantastic game that spent a lot of time ruminating on topics like transhumanism, sex, and corporate power"

I can't say anything about C2077 because I haven't played it, I can just repeat what Gibson said about it. And he didn't play it either, he was just judging the trailer.

What I can say is to note the three things you mentioned, "transhumanism, sex and corporate power" are also explored in other highly derivative and uninspired works of cyberpunk-influenced fiction, like Altered Carbon. Boy, was I disappointed by that show [1]! It's completely shallow, uninterested in exploring the philosophical ramifications of the technology it introduces, and instead goes for flashy visuals, endless action and explosive gore. I watched season 1 because I wanted to know whodunnit -- it was disappointing -- and season 2 was unbearable.

Whether you agree with me or not that Altered Carbon on Netflix was garbage, at least you must concede using those cyberpunk tropes you mentioned is not enough to determine quality or complexity of the plot and/or message. They are just tools in a toolbox, and can be used to build something interesting or something utterly uninspired, just another "gritty" cyberpunk copycat.

[1] and from what my friends tell me, the book series is not fundamentally different. Only the details vary.
It's really not.

>Sanders, in particular, suggested that the US could adopt a socialist system by emulating Scandinavia. “I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people,” said the US presidential candidate, who identifies himself as a “democratic socialist.”

But Danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, speaking at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government this week, says Sanders got more than a few things wrong.

“I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”

Ah yes I see what you mean.

I used to work for a fintech startup and our sales team had a hard time finding customers for the product that we're building. These customers were impressed by the web app that we've made, but "we don't see a reason to use your products, we are used to Excel and we like Excel". So we decided to create a page in our web app that looked like Excel. I initially used Handsontable for this page. I was so disappointed with its performance and its reliability, that I decided to create DataGridXL. Anyway, that's the story and that's where the "slogan" comes from :-)
Next Google isn’t going to be index based search engine. Imagine a massive distributed neutral model which has digested billions of pages. The query isn’t going to be keyword-ish like “kids cough medicine” but rather question with all details like “what is least problematic over the counter good cough medicine for a 9 year old with asthma”. The results aren’t going to be bunch of links but rather aggregation, summary and organized composed information from various sources with citations. Imagine if a human had read all the pages and you asked him the same question.

I would also predict search to be much more compute intensive and therefore more expensive. The ad model is likely not going to be sufficient to pay for compute resources.
I find reddit works remarkably well for this. I've gotten great actionable recommendations within an hour or two for:

- good coffeeshops

- tacos

- Korean grocery stores

- places that have traditional style al pastor tacos

- finding a specific coffee brand at a local grocery store

- finding EDM songs similar to a particular song (dullscythe)

- hot chicken

- canolis

and a bunch more similar things. I would think if you posted to the /r/vegas subreddit asking about the coolest hotel pool in vegas, you'd get a bunch of up to date info.

Sure, but the point is to have IA be the owner of an archive w/ a good, well performing UI/UX. Because:

I might build an excellent interface to IA's millions of images, so good that it becomes the default way of viewing them. Countless bookmarks and links from other sites are published against the material through my site. But then one day I decide it's just not working out anymore and I pack it all up. I call this imaginary system Fleckr.

I'm not saying people shouldn't build what they want in this way, but IA shouldn't rely on other services to host anything that it wants to stick around. They appear to have done that with Flickr, because Flickr had a good system, but now it's all dust. Or, if not dust, it will require a complete system to be built to do something similar, migrating user contributions (if they were salvageable) to this new system. I'm saying this new system should be owned & operated by IA. Building it w/ volunteer work under a FOSS license like many other large projects seems a reasonable option.
I would pay for an app that searches my stuff and provides some kind of intelligent agent for web knowledge.
I hope it all works out for you.

In some sense but if a platform takes a neutral stance on the content within it becomes as "ideological" as a pinboard in a super market. So yes the platforms content may reflect the ideology of those who uses it most the platform itself as long as it does not interfere with what is posted to it would in my opinion less ideological.
You can thank Getty images(1) for that :/ I personally think Getty and most stock image results are pure spam and google should have just ditched them altogether and kept the original search. Now google image search is also shit and full of stock photo spam:

As a person who uses npm just for some hobby coding projects, it's quite frustrating that there are new partly incompatible package managers for the javascript ecosystem: npm, pnpm, yarn, yarn 2.

Some packages need one, some another, so I tried to switch to yarn (or yarn 2) for a package that I wanted to try out, but then other packages stopped working.

If there are clearly better algorithms, why not refactor npm and add them in experimental flags to npm and then setting them to default as they mature (with safe switching from one data structure or another)?
It is crazy that sane things are controversial and insane things are mainstream.
I've done a lot of work on data grid accessibility. In fact, DataGridXL is one of the many grids I considered for our own needs a couple years ago. The reality here is unless you somehow export out a DOM structure which has an element per cell, for at least the cells that are on screen, you will never be able to get the screen reader to behave correctly. If you were using a canvas you could export a subdom on the canvas, but with the approach y'all take with the line-height + dom node per column I don't see how you get there.

The cell nodes need be browsable and selectable by the screen readers caret. You could do what many other DOM based grids do and add an "accessibility mode" but I believe accessibility should be the default and not a mode people turn on as a checkbox. Let me know if you want to chat, I'm always happy to share what I know. I'm by no means an expert but I've definitely picked up a thing or two.
Not to take anything away from the other things you’re saying, but there’s a large difference between a company’s valuation and how much cash plus equivalents they have. Apple has roughly $20B, most of their valuation is from other things. :)
This kind of post isn't terribly helpful to end-users (though I guess the audience really is apple, for pressure purposes) without some kind of insight into how hard it is to actively exploit whatever these vulnerabilities are.

Like, there's a big difference between actively exploited vulnerability that requires physical access to the machine or conscious user decision to run an untrusted executable, versus actively exploited vulnerability that can bite a user when they visit a website or read a text message. If these vulnerabilities are in the second category, maybe I freak out and upgrade to monterey today; if in the first, I just rely on the perfectly good lock on my front door until apple backports the updates.
I assume Warp is fundamentally incompatible with GNU screen or tmux.

That's a shame because terminal multiplexers like GNU screen and tmux such a core part of my terminal usage that I'm hesitant to discard them, even for something that looks really useful like Warp.

I'm not sure how many people actively use terminal multiplexers like GNU screen and tmux, so maybe I represent only a tiny minority of users.
You mean like the news? As an experiment try this for two months. On month 1 - watch only CNN. On month 2 - watch only Fox. Maybe take a 1 week break between both and write down your thoughts on the world... very interesting how it evolves based on what you watch/listen too... From what I hear if you just watched Russian state media it'd be an even more extreme version. The great thing about our free society is you have the choice to do this experiment, as I understand it you can't do this in Russia today...
Aside from the $23m investment, telemetry, whiff of Rust fanboyism, the core claims made are questionable for me: Terminals are hard to use. Complex commands. Arcane key shortcuts. Abstruse commands. Every productivity application is more powerful when it is collaborative - true 100% of the time. Fixing a problem that doesn't really exist in my book - but good luck!
In fairness to them, the ultimate plan is for something at least slightly less gun-like. They're using these gunpowder charges during testing, but eventually plan to move to some kind of electromagnetic mass-driver setup to make the projectile go. (So, maybe like a railgun or coilgun, which... I guess are still guns, but not like, gun-guns).
Create react app was one example I had in mind, I think Redwoodjs is another one that recently popped up.
>Personally, that cooped up feeling from being stuck inside all day is one of the reasons why I moved out of the city and onto some property.

As someone who moved from a city to a rural area over the pandemic and saw their exercise suffer massively, this rings oddly to me. In a city I was getting huge step counts because there were so many places to go, so much to see and do! Leaving the house was immediately rewarding. Out in the boondocks, sure there's plenty of space to walk, but there's nowhere you can feasibly walk to.
Hi, we have not implemented custom cell renderers yet. Also, for performance sake, we decided not to render HTML in cells. So not sure if DataGridXL can offer you the things you're looking for at this time.
> IRIX always had excellent multiprocessor support and, with transistors getting smaller, adding more CPUs could give it some breathing room without doing any microarchitectural changes.

That kind of exactly what Sun did and likely gave them legs. This might not have made it out of the 90s otherwise.

> I think embracing x86 was a huge mistake by Sun - it helped legitimize it as a server platform.

x86 was simple better on performance. I think it would have happened anyway.

> OpenSolaris was a step in the right direction, however, but their entry level systems were all x86 and, if you are building on x86, why would you want to deploy on much more expensive SPARC hardware?

That's why I am saying they should have dropped Sparc already in the very early 2000s. They waste so much money on machines that were casually owned by x86.
It's just.. an incredibly bad look to have this be the top comment on a post about this while the website claims that "cloud stuff" is opt-in.

It's more essential to be honest about this during the beta period than after, so "oh it will be opt in" is a cold comfort, alongside the approximately never-true "we'll open source it some day."

Not touching this with a ten foot pole. Not for something as essential to my day to day work as a terminal.
> - Sharing hard-to-remember workflows
= Make better scripts and put in CI

No thank you

= That's more for development.. not for shell access

> Our bet is their companies are willing to pay for these. BTW, even these team features will likely be free up to some level of usage and only charged in a company context.

I actually don't want them. I migrated from many apps that do too much to apps that do one thing really well.
Backing this up with some data, the most common reaction on twitter is:

"Elon will improve Twitter by expanding freedom of speech on the platform"

https://twitter.com/NarrativesProj/status/151139309757754574...
My opinion of the BBC was formed long before RT even existed. One is a government funded state propagandist. The other is RT. RT emulates BBC as do a lot of state propagandists around the world. All RT and other state propagandists like CGTN, al jazeera, etc does is copy the BBC. It's because the BBC is the best at propaganda. It sets the bar that other state propagandists aspire to.

It isn't by accident George Orwell modeled the Ministry of Truth after the BBC. After all he worked as a propagandist for the BBC during ww2.

You truly have to be brainwashed to believe that the BBC is any different from RT. Just gotta tip your hat to the BBC. They do a good job.
They are mostly the people you never hear about in mainstream media. The quiet engineers and tinkerers of the world. Guys like Fabrice Bellard, jaquesm of hn fame, Stuff Made Here (YouTube). There are a lot of prolific hackers out there that have made or are making contributions.
Yep, I work exactly in the same way with Darktable and I really enjoy it. Once you get it, it’s quite straight forward and I’m really happy with the results!
Fast and Bolt are tried to sell one-click checkout as a service after the Amazon patent on this expired. They both seem to hire and raise a lot with very little market sure or even sense of how they will be profitable.
Not insane at all, Elon has a long history of petty behavior.
Outside of the SV bubble people have actual lives that don't resolve around tech companies. Until someone shows actual evidence with real numbers behind it it's hard to take the whole "people don't realize how much people do or think X" seriously.

Well to take your argument and show its downfall you can argue that you can achieve the same result with a hex editor. The difference between the tools is how you get to the result. You're right that the capabilities of the user are usually the more limiting factor but allowing the user to achieve a certain output in an intuitive way can be magnitudes more complicated that developing the required (technical) feature-set.
