Does the index contain only info I have access to? How is authentication for all the knowledge sources handled?

That was my question too. It seems they have a deal with Samsung, atleast for the FSD computer chips[1].

Well designed interface. There might be something here if one can use this to render one's own notes? Or is this meant to render user provided content like Wikipedia?

really like the shell ergonomics, how about adding tab completion?

perhaps this link might help https://pywebio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide.html#server-m...

I really like the concept, thanks for sharing!

Perhaps something to the tune of "How to customize macOS defaults" would be more appropriate then?

Tried it out, looks nice :) Is there a quick screenshot feature? That would be really helpful for sharing analysis and storing important views.

I love how focused it is! Would this work on linux in case I build it from source? Just tried it out on my mac and seems to be a little buggy at the moment. The editor doesn't seem to reliably respond to keystrokes and the search window went blank a couple of times. I guess it needs some polish, but I like the UI a lot.

Here's a great video by numberphile on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASoz_NuIvP0

Great initiative! This should encourage more Indian/ SE Asian founders to apply, since they no longer have to think about the time spent on the arduous US visa application process - and can instead keep the focus on building their company. Kudos to YC!

Thanks for sharing, probably should make this a Show HN though?

Great demos! Are you planning to release your design software for users at some point? As a fellow roboticist and tinkerer, I think this would be a great tool to have for simple circuits such as adapters which are way too much of a pain atm.

Would be cool to see the output design integrated with an interactive simulation and inspection tool such as [1].

Just wanted to thank the VSCode team for this fantastic editor, recently discovered it and has become my daily driver. Keep up the excellent work!

Not that it matters much, but just out of curiosity, is the author the real Mark Z.?

What makes you say that?

Is this appropriate as a Show HN? I assume not everyone who wants to see how this works wants to actually (irrevocably) delete their account.

tl;dr, Vibration due to shouting causes measurable impact on spinning disk performance, increasing io latency. I guess this wouldn't apply to SSD's though?

gives a 404 error... 404 error: Page not found

Please make this an Ask HN, with a question mark at the end,so as to not confuse other readers. Right now, it seems you're talking about an app that does this.

Looks great! Probably even has applications for anybody prototyping a Finite State Machine, which are very common. Also, I'm not aware of any intuitive FSM design tools which one can "get" in a 5 min tutorial.

"Please wait while we're updating your repo" ... 30-60 mins ... connection timed out

"We won't see another operating environment for computers, because it's extremely hard to fund a professional sales force to educate users with an ASP of around $500"

It's amazing how well this insight/prediction holds after 26 years, the only other comparable OS/OE today is linux, which didn't rely on the funding. Makes me think if/how another leap in computing software will happen.

Source code seems to be available :)

How is this ML? They use a CNN for foreground segmentation, a minor step in their pipeline. But the major contribution seems to be putting the silhouettes in a common reference frame. I sincerely hope sciencemag isn’t putting ML in the title purely to jump on the bandwagon.

Looks interesting! Too bad it doesn’t seem to be responsive on mobile...or did I miss something?

I was in no way trying to undercut Apple's efforts, just stating what's written in their documentation [1], i.e they're currently only performing tracking with VIO as compared with Google's [2].

"Almost by default a robust VO system using some kind of sensor fusion does a form of relocalization but rarely loop closure." This is not true, Visual(Inertial) Odometry systems typically estimate "odometry" i.e frame to frame motion tracking hence the name, such as in [3] and [4], whereas SLAM systems, such as [5], store a map of features, and their descriptors to relocalize which isn't necessarily a typical feature of pure VO systems.

Apple's offering is currently further reaching, but I won't be surprised, if in the coming years, most high end smartphones start shipping with tango-like hardware, especially if AR's appeals broadens. ARKit should certainly be a contributor to that.

Good points, just wanted to point out that, according to their documentation[1], Apple ARKit doesn't do SLAM, but Visual Inertial Odometry, which is one of the (important) components of a SLAM system, whereas Tango does the full SLAM pipeline with loop closure and relocalisation, and should therefore enable more, larger scale applications and allow for persistence between device/app reboots etc.

The article seems to point out Apple's advantages, however, using a dedicated global shutter fisheye camera, in the case of tango makes it much more suitable for large scale AR apps, imo, which would make it much more suitable for games etc. Also, ASUS already released phones with tango hardware [1].
