I wouldn't call it "straightforward" but it is definitely computable. I worked on such a cartography-video overlay system about 10+ years ago, and you need at a minimum: precise GPS (as you pointed out), distance offset between GPS antenna and camera gimbal, precise aircraft attitude in all three axes, precise gimbal attitude, and a very good terrain model giving you altitudes of the land around the camera target. You also need to project your location, camera vector, and field of view polygon into a coordinate system that takes into account the curvature of the earth, because these aircraft are often many km from their targets. Very interesting project.
I also thought about this when reading the title. Would be great to see a comparison between the new tool and postwoman
Any news/updates on tmux vs gnu screen? Last I looked (years ago) I couldn't find a compelling reason to switch from screen - are there any (that you find compelling)?

Exactly. Hence why so many HNers are extremely annoyed and angry that it happened and that they will still use Twitter regardless. I guarantee you that they won't move or close their accounts down due to this and will continue to peek or use links from Twitter.

I don't care what happens since I'm laughing at the whole mess and chaos.
Vr chat? You mean the weird vr social game for furries and anime fans?

I think your comment illustrates to me the disconnect. The criticism is hyper focused on that one app. The quest 2 is a fantastic device. And the software for it is actually fantastic. The hardware and software coming out of reality labs is by far the best as a whole.

And while I don’t think monolithic apps like horizon worlds are going to be more than a gimmick for a long time. Logging in for the first time on the quest pro and chatting with strangers was something else. Of all the hyped marketing in the presentations I rolled my eyes at the focus on “presence” and feeling like you are there with someone but it already lives up to that in my opinion. It was pretty damn cool.

Now that I think about it. Maybe he doesn’t have to give a damn about marketing vr well. Apple will come in and do that work for him soon.
But the Nero wasn’t in Rome when it burned and fiddles didn’t exist yet…

It’s because you are brainwashed.

More seriously it’s actually a meme or a trope that I noticed.
> I mean just because something feels good doesn't mean it's right.

I’m just not into your religion, sorry. I love it for you though. I’m happy that you’re happy not consuming animals, and that it makes you feel good. I will continue to smoke beef briskets over live fire for hours at a time.
I am hoping the carta 1200/1250 display which ever it ends up shipping with will help to reduce latency, but for my use case which is more reading and less note taking it is seemingly perfect.
I dislike the default prefix key for both screen (C-a) and tmux (C-b) because they conflict with useful commands in emacs and the terminal (go to beginning of line, go back one character). I finally found C-j worked well for me (for both) because I very rarely want to use it directly so the occasional C-j C-j doesn't bother me much.

I found only 4 alphabet characters that didn't seem to have a conflict with something I used often enough for it to be annoying: g, i, j, m. Tried each, settled on j because of comfort while typing. Also hitting C-g when I wasn't in tmux turned out to be annoying on some systems.

The odds of the deal going ahead were always pretty good, because getting out of it would have been difficult. The key here is the unique way in which the Chancery Court operates. They may have very well forced Musk to buy the company.
> Yeah by not visiting sites with bad adverts.

By not consuming intrusive ads, and by not buying products promoted with unethical practices.

You can't possibly defend the current state of private spying and surveillance, it's dystopian. The data collected is sold (directly or indirectly) to bad actors, and is ripe for abuse. You can't just say "deal with it or GTFO", ad blocking is the only recourse we as consumers have to voice our opinion.
You don’t need ads to monetize a product. Plenty of people will buy things through WhatsApp.
Go ahead and go for that margin call. Its value target in 2023 is still $200.
This is why I use Scribd. I can’t access every single book I want but there are enough available that I’ve only run into that problem a handful of times, and I just found something else because it’s really a great selection.
I agree, and I don't even like Facebook.

Everyone wants another iteration of iPhone and more stupid software. It's all the same. The tech industry is becoming boring and uninspired.

The only tech that gets me as excited as when I was a child is VR/AR. Fun and exciting new hardware. Give me something that I can create and play with.

Supposedly Oculus has a young userbase as well.
Me too. One of the stated benefits of the Apple ecosystem is how well they work together. Except when iPads and MacBooks all switch to USBC and iPhones stay on Lightning.

I love these little measures of attention to detail. You can tell when a craftsman really thought about their work, vs. when a mere implementer stops once the design is shippable and the requirements are met.

Political ads are back on the table for sure. Hopefully easy to disable though.

Trump may come back but Twitter really only has bandwidth for one "narcissist" at a time. Trump would be competition for Musk plus Trump has Truth Social so Musk might keep him at arms length for a while. Then there's Kanye, all of these decisions will impact and weigh on Musk's reputation in the celeb sphere (if that's important to him). Twitter is a mainline to the media.

There will likely be some payment p2p angle.
There will be better customer service integration for a business's customers and tools that businesses will pay for. consumers will use it b/c call out culture gets you resolution vs calling into some call center.

There might be a tiktok play.
Maybe better DMs that are more whatsapp like.
He worked in the video game industry at one point and wrote some low level code there.
Good point here. Reminds me of how this is also how GM Ford etc made insane amounts of money in the 50s. They sold a car to almost everyone in the united states every 3-5 years. It made them and the city of detriot insanely rich.
I'm amazed this hasn't happened earlier. They've switched their laptops across ages ago. I have a MacBook, Samsung phone, Sony headphones, Samsung earbuds as well as several other USB-C accessories and I only need the Macbook power cord to charge any of them.

When I travel that's the only power supply I take. When I need to charge my phone, I just unplug the Macbook and plug in the Samsung phone. But if I had an iPhone I couldn't do that!
Recruitment is part of it as . It’s not possible to find people that haven’t worked at your company to have experience with your custom engine - but you can hire people with years of experience with Unreal already and ramp them up for your specific game quickly.
I agree that software on cameras is terrible, and I would love for it to improve. But I'm not necessarily sure that good software would give a huge competitive advantage. Camera sales seem to be largely driven by technical specs, and I'm not sure that most buyers would choose to put their money toward better software over better specs. Even things like ergonomics (button layout, whether it has a fold-out display) seem to get more attention in camera reviews than software. The emphasis seems to be on getting the shot with the best image quality possible rather than what you do with it afterwards.

I do think that computational photography features (e.g. snapping a lot of photos and merging them) have the potential to be a big driver of camera sales for whoever is able to integrate them first into a large sensor camera. But this isn't just a matter of software but also processing power.

I personally would love to see Apple put out an interchangeable lens camera, but I'm not holding my breath as I don't think the market is large enough for them to bother. Also I'm not sure I could afford to buy one even if they did...
Detection in Emby works but is... odd. I have Premiere.

There's still definitely a "right way" to organize your library, but detection and settings have massively improved over the past year (I'm on 4.8.0.13).

Probably 15% of my library has had to be manually identified, and 70% is non-English. Prioritizing the metadata sources helps a lot. Definitely a labor of love.
Not parent, but there is an option in settings that allows you to unpin (and therefore have to dig through menus to find) any media source on both Android and the web client.
The answer is going to be completely different based on how much agony and terror you are proposing.
Ask HN: Have you ever tried finding a co-founder on the YC matching program?
Have you ever had to find a co-founder or new people to help you with/join your project or start-up?
Also considering the fact that they don't really advise to start a project or star-up with your friends. For instance, your friend might be a good developer but you want to find one who's better. Things like that.
Would you suggest the Y-combinator co-founder matching program? why might it be better than other ways?
Any advice on choosing a co-founder?

Unlike algae we can invent things. We can engineer. Are aren’t a hopeless, deterministic algorithm like algae. Future generations don’t need us to thrive. Plus, what’s your obsession with future generations?

Thank you for your suggestion. While I’m choosing prime ribeye steaks to grill this weekend I will consider it.
The 40% waste figure is exaggerating the waste, since cheaper foods will be wasted more than expensive ones (like meat).
Iron actually is a consumable in some processes. For example, it burns pretty well. So it gets used in thermic lances. I'm not sure if anyone bothers trying to collect the resulting iron oxides and recycle those.
Wait you have to “buy” the audio book in addition to the monthly fee? hmmm no thanks.

Just my take but I don’t want click to purchase stuff coming to Spotify. In my opinion this a fail.

That's true on CPUs, but I think the parent was talking about GPUs. AFAIK (I have not been able to get very much detailed information on GPU performance characteristics), GPUs tend to do better at such things, in part due to the great width and lower clocks (eg trig functions in just a few clock cycles).

AVX512 may not have killed the GPU market, but consider SIMD on CPUs for flavour: float FMA and add have identical throughput on intel.
If you ever see him at any talk thats not a pure PR event he tends to go into engineering details. Good series I would recommend from Everyday Astronaut where they get into lots of nitty gritty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ux6B3bvO0w
Look for his interviews. He mentions a software his organization wrote and sold, but the buyer didn't know how to fully take advantage of it. Kind of like flying an F22 as a cardboard box down the side of a grassy hill.
VR isn't going anywhere. It's a category that's been tried over-and-over for 35+ years. It's AI, enterprise software like Workplace, and possibly AR. $50B on CapEx in the next 2 years, mostly buying GPUs. If you want to make money, buy NVDA and META now. Oculus could also become the next Nintendo Switch. They have a lot of money and a lot of degrees of motion to pivot on. Betting against piles of smart people who can make things would be foolish. Even if there isn't an immediately novel and wildly-popular use-case for their particular AI foundation, it's possible to lease AI-as-a-service like AWS with that amount of hardware.
Inbound = outbound was the standard in the 1990s but CLAs and such have risen since then. I assume most COSS companies are using CLAs or full copyright assignment.
Do you think most of the other animals wouldn't begrudgingly agree, if they (temporarily) had the capability to?
I'm too far from it to know exactly how Facebook is spending the money. In my mental model they are spending it on "make VR work" and that's how I'm thinking about it here.

This is why I hedged a little in my original comment and said that this is at least the kind of thing Facebook should be doing. I really hope they aren't spending all, or even most, of their money on the demos we are seeing. I don't necessarily think their specific strategy is right, but trying to do something is right.

Personally, I'd be spending everything on brain-computer interfaces - because that's the only way I can see VR working. What would happen if you gave a team of scientists billions of dollars a year with the mandate to get a brain-computer interface for the highest level animal on which you could ethically and legally do unlimited experiments? Get that down, work your way up to a less intrusive device targeting apes and then humans, and then you could do real, serious VR.
My sister in law does this stuff as a business. It’s a weird look to be honest. As family I know more than most. She grinds in a sweat shop room in her house. Never cooks, cleans, or helps with raising her kid unless it’s selling apparel for a sports league, scouts, etc. It’s different though, she’s addicted to the attention of it all and being a “small business owner”. Once I asked her some details on the operations and she’s earning the equivalent of $2/hr on her time invested and she’s been at it for like 15+ years, it’s weird.
There's no financial incentive to improve customer support in most services with a relatively inelastic demand.

Most companies know that their call centers have been "experiencing an unusual volume of calls" for years, and that most customer service requests take way too long to act on. And so what? You'll keep paying your electricity/internet/heating/water/medical/phone/insurance/bank/credit lender/etc bills anyways because you need these services. Giving you good support or improving anything in customer service just hurts the bottom line.

This is not true for services with elastic demand. In industries with a lot of substitutes (like hotels), customer support often goes more along the lines of "customer is always right" and "making it right" at even a high cost. Sometimes it's done even when the customer is clearly abusing the generosity. This is even more common in luxury services (like luxury restaurants) or luxury item sales (like some collectable watches and cars).

P.S. This is obviously a generalization of a complex soup of factors that impact customer service quality in every company.

Agreed. Old school Wranglers are tough. Only problem is you feel like you are wearing pants made of plywood for the first several months before they break in.
"cybervocab" mind
The biggest single category is dairy, which isn't the cheapest. But of course it doesn't exaggerate the waste, its 40% by weight of marketable good - but if you figure in the weight of the grain and other feed used to raise animals the number gets worse not better. If anything it understates the waste.
"Future generations don’t need us to thrive. Plus, what’s your obsession with future generations?"

Have you considered asking those "future generations", i.e. YOUR KIDS, whether they'd like to live on a planet with a self-sustaining ecosystem or suffer through a climate catastrophe?

You can't possibly think that we don't owe it to future generations to try to leave them a better planet. Would you support setting off a nuclear war now too, because the fallout will be a future someone else's problem?

Nah, just run the WRF model at a 300m horizontal resolution and use a regional model or GCM for the boundary conditions. No AI necessary.

It's not - you can prefer paid services over advertising-supported services. Buy a physical magazine rather than a digital subscription. Etc.
I've never used jQuery before and don't feel like I'm missing much. But these comparisons of how to do something in A vs B are always useful.
Nope, but we can reduce waste by raising prices for instance by ending farm subsidies. We can mandate the removal of (or at minimum the regulation of) expiration dates on food. Also, educating people about food. People assume that milk goes bad the second the clock rolls over on the unregulated 'best-by' date, so there's incentive to goose the numbers to raise sales. Further, slightly sour milk can be used as a substitute for buttermilk in baking, for instance, but people have to learn that. [1]

Any competing plans you'd like to share that allows us to avoid losing unfathomable quantities of limited fresh water and raising a ton of animals so they can be hucked onto a landfill?

Or we give out "free lunches" to people because as a society we don't value them starving? It's not an indicator of some huge oversupply and I certainly hope we wouldn't let them starve if food became slightly more scarce and expensive.

Poverty and food anxiety is an enormous issue in this country and it baffles me that you can't see it.
It sounds like you're describing our solar system. No, Mars is not habitable in any meaningful sense of the word, any more than the Moon is.
I had the opposite feeling stepping into a Model 3 every day while my 4 series was shipped across the country.

Things that I thought had been solved decades ago, things like how to make basic switchgear that doesn't feel like it's going to break off in my palm*. How to indicate a turn signal in the center of my field of vision rather than where non-essentials like HVAC normally go. How to let me change HVAC settings without feeling around on a touch screen. How to support Carplay like a base model Corolla. The most basic mitigations for NVH so highway speeds don't sound like a mouse sneaking cheese in a wind tunnel. How to make ACC intuitive rather than a song and dance of checking what color a piece of text is. All suddenly were suddenly lost.

* I guess now we know why the OG Model S needed Mercedes window switches.
I can assure you Mr. Musk was not involved in writing code at x.com.

Well, look at what he's been advocating for:

1) Edit Button - already in production

2) "Absolute" free speech - not legally possible, and his tweet (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1585619322239561728) indicated that he knows it's not palatable to advertisers either

3) Get rid of the bots - Either a) it's not that big of a problem or b) it's a big problem, but will greatly reduce the number of users and impressions used to drive advertising revenue

Plus, there's no clear growth plan as it's not an attractive platform for youth or young adults.

Of course, it's possible Elon moves mountains and turns it into a thriving business, but it's not clear at this point in time how that happens.

I ended up learning tmux out of necessity because I kept getting my processes killed when getting disconnected from ssh sessions. I don't know if I'd have the patience to stick with it otherwise.

Now I just use it as my window manager in terminal even though I'm rarely sshing these days. I love it. Combined with tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum, which will persist sessions across restarts, and it's a total joy.
No one destroyed any art.
