I built a config management tool, Etcha, that uses short lived JWTs. I extended it to offer a full shell over HTTP using JWTs:

It works well and I can "expose" servers using reverse proxies since the entire shell session is over HTTP using SSE.

I’m guessing they all knew it wasn’t ready to ship, and would likely fail, and fail hard with that price.

Now Meta is out here demoing very impressive glasses - which was the goal Apple had but couldn’t make work - so I’m curious if Meta is likely the more exciting place to work for this tech.
No congratulations is necessary the Laudspeaker project (https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker) is doing perfectly fine.

tablets are everywhere, can be shared, and do not make people look ridiculous. hell, even my cats have apps made just for them. haven't seen any viral videos of pets wearing a headset.

not being able to see how this is different is very disingenuous. when the ipad was released, nobody had a device like that. apple's headset was not the first. even those the came before did not gain a lot of traction. so apple is not blazing new trails here that people just don't understand yet. this is an accepted as niche product line for certain personalities.
Well, for one thing being able to interface with it by simply gesturing with your hands, seems pretty unique.
Show HN: GS-C# programmer can program and debug any GPU with supercomputer speed
Hello friends, I developed GpuScript with the goal to turn every C# programmer into a GPU programming expert, without having to master CUDA, HLSL, or other GPU computation or graphics languages. There are currently two available libraries to explore, and more libraries will be available in the near future including instantaneous AI neural network construction, training, learning, and thinking. Appreciate any feedback!
merge feature branches when reintegrating main, squash merge onto the main branch when you’re finished - best of both worlds imo

I never need to rebase, or unfuck a botched rebase or go reflog diving - and the commit history is linear where it matters.
Wow, thanks so much. this is the real deal
Then you should try Claude, I have never seen it get stuck in a loop, at some point it would just rewrite everything if it came to that.
yep.

spouse works night shift 3 days a week and ill develop on it and/or watch something.

our work has a cloud based ide for web stuff and ill commonly use AVP and virtual display on my personal mac for that and its better than my 2 monitor setup.

its for big nerds for sure and i am that. really is the best value for the best possible screen. i got it to have fun developing for novel xr hardware and watch great movies on the best screen. my advice is not to get one unless youre in that intersection of interests.

personally find it exciting i might be developing on discontinued hardware. always read and heard about hardware thats come and gos but dorks keep building stuff for it. i assumed everything is too well planned and managed these days for me to take part in something like that.
Of course. It doesn't handle complexity well. console.log inputs are usually not a cognitively complex object (especially if it reads current errors and variables)
No, it's not close at all. macOS allows you to sideload, EU iOS still does not. macOS allows you to write programs for your own device without paying Apple $100 every year, EU iOS still does not. macOS provides an environment for general purpose computing, EU iOS still does not.

Maybe not for long though: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/commission-sends-pr...
You seem to not realize that the Vision Pro is in fact ending, and work on a new visionOS device that is not a Pro device is what's taking place.

As an AVP owner the thing is an absolute flop and it's not misleading to say that for the foreseeable future the line has been discontinued.
WebAssembly Adoption Grows Across the Industry
The connection to the real world from inside is incredible. You can forget you’re not looking through heavy googles but rather at a screen.
Apple showing up to the party is usually a pretty good indicator of a technology having crossed a maturity threshold: smartphones, tablets, smart watches, wireless earbuds, TV streaming devices, ARM laptops, etc.

Even their “misses” have just been devices that were too niche or bad value propositions for the average consumer, rather than being technically immature (thinking of HomePod here). It’s rare for Apple to launch a device that’s just far too early to be useful even to its target audience.
Unfortunately, emails (at least in my context) are rich text, and they pretty frequently include images that I care about. I don't think gnus can handle that, given that it looks CLI-only.

But also, it looks like I'd have to do some substantial elisp work to get filtering, etc. working. This is starting to sound like way more work than hitting Ignore on a Slack thread. Maybe it's great once you get it set up, and assuming nobody sends you rich text where you care about the formatting?
What would convince me is if you show benchmarks between large LTGM deployments and OpenObserve.

Show me OpenObserve ingesting a few billion metrics streams and show me how query times are faster than mimir.

The slightly funny thing here for me is that Niantic has nothing to do with radio at all! They made Pokémon GO, the augmented reality "find Pokémon in the real world" app that was pretty popular a few years ago :D

They are now, and that's exactly the point. And people don't look ridiculous now because they became adopted, but even the first versions of mobile phones made people look ridiculous.

Have some perspective, try to think beyond a lapse of more than two years back and forwards.
>nd I could read the code it wrote because I partially knew the outputted language

oh ok. this is quite different than what I was picturing. So far this is my favorite use case of LLMs, they seem very good at this.

I mistakenly thought you were using it almost as a black box compiler. "look it ported it to Rust, I can't make sense of it, but it seems to work and no segfaults!".

What you say sounds pretty sensible, and it is a very nice practical example of the power of LLMs.
Don't worry, Apple will rip open the Facebook glasses and copy them with a slick new form factor.
You can’t have an opinion about whether a flaw bothers you?

NASA and Partners Scaling to New Heights
The PPD is good, but a 46 degree FoV is pretty narrow for a virtual screen, and it's fixed in place in relation to your head. One of the big convenience differences of a true headset (even a cheaper one like the Quest line) is that you can move your head around and still have the "screen" fixed in place, so it doesn't get in the way as you look for your popcorn or whatever.
In my experience, hotels and convenience stores also sell stamps, sometimes called "seals" (at least in Singapore).

Nitpick:

> Or 2019 for ChatGPT 2

That wasn't ChatGPT, that was GPT-2. It wasn't even designed for "chat" and was purely text completion. If you tried to ask it a question, it was a toss-up over whether you'd get an answer or just a bunch of related questions and statements, as if it was part of what a single speaker was saying.

Like, you could prompt it with "I'm here to talk about" and it would complete it with some random subject.

I don't even know if any of the well-known LLMs (Mistral, Llama, what else?)can even operate in this mode now. Seems they're all being designed for being an assistant.
I use wireguard to tunnel back home, but personally only extremely rarely use mobile data anyway. I normally have it disabled.

You're begging the question with respect to what is "free" and "fair." The US is neither by any reasonable definition of these words.

In large part, people do not have that kind of agency, and telling them they do is deceptive liberal bullshit.
No. The iPad was mocked by tech bros who saw "Worse computer."

Pretty much anyone who had used an iPhone or iPod touch was like, "Oh hell yeah, big iPhone."

Pointing out that the device sucks to actually use in important physical and social ways is the opposite.
I would be into ragchewing except (at least on 20/40/80 where I have a consistent setup) the vast majority of SSB contacts are with ancient men and most conversations I catch contain unambiguously racist statements or at least a lot of "kids these days" talk. I don't care that they're having those conversations, I just have no interest in talking to them.
You're commenting on your own product/submission.
I only see discussions about the Vision Pro from an entertainment perspective. To me it is clear that with the capabilities and the price, it should be a professional device to be used in industry, military, and such. Then the price is cheap. But this means that more traditional sectors need to make software that takes advantage of AR.
Apple ripped a valuable hearing loss feature from the AirPods line
One place you don't see the Vision Pro suspended is on Tim Cook's face. There is weak demand for a Vision so dim and weak. The visionary pros at Apple couldn't see a clear provision for Tim Cook's half-baked Vision Pro. Apple shall proceed without Vision.
> being to able to interface with it by simply gesturing with your hands

You mean kinda like how I can move my finger a few centimeters to interface with a complex, multi-windowed computer desktop?
This is awesome and feels providential.

I just dug my Vita out of a drawer last week and have been playing some portable ports of some PS3 games that I wanted to play but can’t hook up the PS3 for (ratchet and clank, sly cooper, god of war 1 and 2, and some other indie games).

Was shocked to discover the store is still functional. I bought the PS1 Armored Core games for it.

Love this thing. It really got done dirty in the market and with Sony’s support.

Tempted to jailbreak it and try to make some homebrew stuff.
> It’s unfortunate that art selects so strongly for skill. Can we decorrelate the two?

I really like this direction. I understand why some object to the genai approaches, but in practice sometimes I get an idea of something cool and don't have the skills to create it myself. I'm not going to invest months/years to create each of those ideas and they're not important enough to spend hundreds of dollars that a skilled artist would request. Now there's a way people can try generating the thing and may end up enjoying it - and that's great. (At least for personal use, it gets a bit complicated for commercial purposes)

> they may never be fully trustworthy.

So? Neither are humans. Neither is google search. Chatgpt doesn't write bug free code, but neither do I.

The question isn't "when will it be perfect". The question is "when will it be useful?". Or, "When is it useful enough that you're not employable?"

I don't think its so far away. Everyone I know with a spark in their eye has found weird and wonderful ways to make use of chatgpt & claude. I've used it to do system design, help with cooking, practice improv, write project proposals, teach me history, translate code, ... all sorts of things.

Yeah, the quality is lower than that of an expert human. But I don't need a 5 star chef to tell me how long to put potatoes in the oven, make suggestions for characters to play, or listen to me talk about encryption systems and make suggestions.

Its wildly useful today. Seriously, anyone who says otherwise hasn't tried it or doesn't understand how to make proper use of it. Between my GF and I, we average about 1-2 conversations with chatgpt per day. That number will only go up.

Are there pictures of the Type III Compensator physical reality?
Well, obviously. The only ones happy about all of our potential replacements would be those that have the power to do the replacing and save themselves a shitload of money. It's hardly like everyone is going to rejoice at the rapid advancement of AI that can potentially make most of us jobless....unless, as I said, you're the one in charge, then it's wonderful.
This really does change the interaction with art. As a future expansion it might be neat to recognize images on camera that would make for interesting art (i.e. detection of people/animals or recognition of certain styles of composition) as well as being able to choose amongst different styles.

It seems sort of akin to some modern art that incorporated TV screens and video to make dynamic installations, like Nam June Paik.
Is there any way to freeze some of the images?

I thought some of them would be awesome to keep (e.g. pfp or lockscreen photo).
The resolution of the screens is not the resolution of the media you play on it.

You can stream even a 1080p movie to it and it will look fine, because it is playing in "physical" space, not filling your view completely. It is like watching a floating television or movie screen.
"AI make me a sandwich"? ;)
Many, many places (even academia, not just businesses) only allow Outlook to be used as an email client "for security" these days -- they actually go out of their way to disable POP and IMAP access and even use Microsoft's authentication system to get access. I've been using email for close to 40 years at this point, and I actually did use Emacs as my e-mail client in the 1990s, but that hasn't been possible anywhere I've worked for close to two decades at this point.
So does Microsoft. Or Google. Or Toyota. Or any other sufficiently large company. They are put under proper scrutiny.

But those are not white-knighted by a fanbase that always feel like they need to protect the multi-billion dollar company from negativity.

Using myself as an example, there are companies I like. I happen to like Nintendo for example. I still call a failed product a failure (e.g.: Wii U), and sometimes I even dislike their successful products (I always hated N64 for that retarded controller).

Why Apple "fanbase" abandon all critical thinking is baffling.
git bisect will traverse both parents of a merge commit no problem. Did you try?

In your situation I'd prefer merges because: if commit X used to have parent A, and you move it over to parent B, it gets a new commit hash and a version of the code that has never been tested. If that commit is broken: was it broken when the author wrote it, or did it only break when you rebased? You threw away your only means of finding out when you rewrote history.
Of course it can stop, once legislation catches up and forbids IP theft using a thinly disguised probabilistic and compressed database of other people's code.
For what it's worth, my children write letters. And by "write letters," I mean "produce artifacts filled with a combination of mediums: words, paint, markers, stamps, cut-outs, quotes, etc." They understand conveyance better than I ever have, despite being a professional information-handler. I think letters are both more and less than described here.

I travel extensively. I write postcards from every new location to my family. I often have to purchase postage stamps and postcards at airports because finding them outside of the airport is surprisingly hard.

It warms my heart when I get back and my grandchildren show them off to me.

I suggest you start this tradition if you travel often.
The web ad knows at least your IP, what site you're currently looking at, and likely an extensive history of these things linked through tracking cookies.

Your ID + other people's IDs seen from the same non-CGNAT IP establish a link, i.e. they also have part of your social graph.

And if one of the web site requests location permissions to e.g. show you where that shop's nearest branch is, I wouldn't put it beyond the ad networks to detect and abuse that to add your location to the above data pile.

Of course, all that becomes entirely moot once you have a single application with ads installed on your phone that has location permissions...

How about have a pair of glasses (iGlasses) with some kind of ability to connect to your iPhone and transfer information via small discrete camera/voice command via airpods. All the processing is done on the iPhone and displayed on the inside of the lens, sort of like a heads up display. Offer prescription services or clear lens and sleek style frames. News, txt, email, video, maps, health info, search, access to Apple AI, etc, etc. I don't need VR, just Terminator style information.

Funny thing is, Apple probably thought the iPod would be a niche product that would only appeal to existing Apple customers when they developed it. If they did not take the risk, they probably wouldn't exist today.

While I don't think the Vision Pro is a good fit for Apple (most of their products are portable, while the Vision Pro is unlikely to have much uptake outside of the home and office), it is hard to gauge whether it would be adopted without actually bringing it to the market.

Our situation and many friends is the same thing - uncomplicated birth. There was no error in how the claim was filed - just an unexplained denial. Which then led to a long drawn out process that required time and stress. All when you’re trying to focus on your child. I think insurance companies like Aetna target new mothers in particular, knowing they’re too busy and exhausted to deal with hours of phone calls. We deserve and want compensation for that time and stress.

That is something I’d like to see but I don’t want to wade into the already very complicated discussion around arrow strings in pandas. If a Pandas developer wanted to take this on I think that would make things easier since there’s so much complexity around strings in Pandas.

That said there is a branch that gets most of the way there: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/58578. The remaining challenges are mostly around getting consensus around how to introduce this change.

If NumPy had StringDType in 2019 instead of 2024 I think Pandas might have had an easier time. Sadly the timing didn’t quite work out.
Thanks for that reminder.

Waiting has the side effect of making the perception of time go by slower.

I remember how when first taking digital photos around 2010 I noticed that I remembered very little and time seemed to fly by because I was looking at a screen the whole time (on the back of a camera).

And today we're all looking at bigger screens all the time in every place and have more photos than ever. And time seems to go by faster.

That, as well age. That does it too.
