Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub - https://ift.tt/l0fm8rp PS - if anyone at Huggingface is reading this and wants to help out with keeping the API up, that would be super :)

New best story on News: Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
615 by zachlloyd | 512 comments .
Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal, and keep pushing further into the world of shells, ultimately ending up with a better integrated experience. At Warp we are building a Rust-based terminal that keeps what’s best about the CLI while modernizing the experience. We’ve built 1) An input area that works just like a code editor: selections, cursor positioning and completion menus 2) Grouped commands and outputs: so you can easily copy, search, and share terminal outputs 3) AI-powered Command Generation and Community-sourced Workflows [0]: so you can find useful commands without leaving the terminal 4) The ability to share your outputs with teammates: no more pasting long unformatted code into Slack 5) Project Workflows: save your team’s common commands into your project so your teammates can run them from Warp See a demo here: [1] We built Warp in Rust with GPU-accelerated graphics, and along the way we built our own UI framework, a text editor that’s a CRDT, and an out-of-the-box theming system. You can learn more here [2]. Huge thanks to our early collaborators: Atom co-founder Nathan Sobo, Nushell co-founder Andres Robalino, and Fish shell lead developer Peter Ammon. We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client. As of now, the community has already been contributing new themes [3]. And we’ve just opened a repository for the community to contribute common useful commands. [4] Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features. We will never sell your data. We are calling today’s release a “beta” because we know there are still some issues to smooth out. You will notice that a log-in is required and that we do collect usage data and crash reports. We do so to enable team features and also to keep improving the product. Post-beta, we will allow users to opt out of usage data. You can see our privacy policy here [5]. While it is a “beta”, we are confident that even today the experience is meaningfully better than in other terminals. If you use a Mac, please give it a shot at warp.dev and let us know how it goes. Otherwise, sign up here [6] to be notified when Warp is ready for your platform. Join our community on Discord [7] and follow us on Twitter [8] Let me know what you think! Ask me anything!

Ask HN: When did 7 interviews become “normal”?
568 by geeky4qwerty | 677 comments on News.
edit: I love this community! Thank you so much for all the insight. For those who complained, I'm sorry if this post comes across as complainy or redundant, I respect the HN hive-mind and was genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts on the matter. Hello fellow travelers, I'll do my best to keep this brief(ish). I've been in IT professionally since Y2K, data entry->QA->SysAdmin->PM->consultant->founder->sold and with the money took some years off, bought some property and a fixer upper and went to school and got a BSBA degree (never graduated from high school but wanted to show my kids the importance of a degree). I missed working and creating things with people so decided to reenter the job market in the PM space. So now that my hat is in the ring I have been told by recruiters what I need to "expect" in this "new market." I was told "5 to 7 interviews is normal". What? I genuinely feel like I'm having a 'Blast from the Past' moment in this whole thing (good 90s romcom kids, look it up). When did a hiring manager lose their authority and the trust of the organization to do their job? Am I just out of touch? How is a process like this in any way shape or form efficient or productive? Am i missing something? HN, please help!

edit: I love this community! Thank you so much for all the insight. For those who complained, I'm sorry if this post comes across as complainy or redundant, I respect the HN hive-mind and was genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts on the matter. Hello fellow travelers, I'll do my best to keep this brief(ish). I've been in IT professionally since Y2K, data entry->QA->SysAdmin->PM->consultant->founder->sold and with the money took some years off, bought some property and a fixer upper and went to school and got a BSBA degree (never graduated from high school but wanted to show my kids the importance of a degree). I missed working and creating things with people so decided to reenter the job market in the PM space. So now that my hat is in the ring I have been told by recruiters what I need to "expect" in this "new market." I was told "5 to 7 interviews is normal". What? I genuinely feel like I'm having a 'Blast from the Past' moment in this whole thing (good 90s romcom kids, look it up). When did a hiring manager lose their authority and the trust of the organization to do their job? Am I just out of touch? How is a process like this in any way shape or form efficient or productive? Am i missing something? HN, please help!
