That sounds like the Guoxing Aerospace / ADA Space “Three-Body Computing Constellation”, currently at 12 satellites (out of a planned 2,800).

The Chinese project involves a larger number of less powerful inference-only nodes for edge computing, compared to Starcloud's training-capable hyperscale data centers.

I've been trying on and off to give Arc a try for the past few months. I've had trouble for all the reasons that the linked article names.

What brought me around was the Easel feature for scrapbooking pieces of multiple web pages onto a single page. For some kinds of research, being able to see everything at once beats anything I've been able to do with multiple tabs or window arrangements. I used to arrange screenshots onto a photo editor's canvas, but doing it in-browser is an easier workflow, and Arc makes it easy to get back from the clipping to the source.

I believe that Beam is similar to this feature, except (pro) better support for daily notes, and (pro and/or con) clippings are in a list instead of arranged in 2D.

That fact that these blocks can optionally be live also makes it useful for constructing ad-hoc dashboards.

That hasn’t been my experience. (Living in a tier ome city since mid 2019.) Maybe it’s different now that QR menus are more the norm, or maybe we just go to different restaurants. If anything it’s easier to talk to a server, because they’re not handling the mechanics of order collection and bill payment for everyone else. I don’t miss having to get the server’s attention to try to settle the bill.

I’ve never had trouble ordering a custom dish or special options. If there’s a price difference, the server tells us what to order on the menu, and tells the kitchen what to actually make. If it’s a family shop, sometimes they update the menu for next time.

I’m sure there’s places that won’t let you order off menu. I wonder whether QR menus increases the number of them, though.

People who care more about performance than features: I am personally offended that you created this.

typing latency (evident in all electron programs) is a deal breaker tbh - this becomes especially true for something like a term emulator

I don't notice any typing latency on Slack and I'm usually pretty sensitive to it. That said, Atom with a bunch of plugins can chug a little.

I don't notice any notable latency in discord, vscode, etc

But I do notice latency in hyper.js, and it just makes it feel very "dull", and that's what I think a lot of people know of electron terminals

plus the competition from native apps is a bit absurd in terms of performance, with most of the serious ones either rendering asap or on the next frame (when vsync'd)

and why would your experience of one terminal app based on Electron apply to all other terminal apps based on Electron? You even say that you don't notice latency in VSCode. A text editor and a terminal have similar problems to solve.

Never said it applied to all electron terminals

I would of tested this one, but no windows build, and I'm not using a linux install atm

editors don't roundtrip to a separate application through multiple buffers (bash, zsh, fish, or whatever) to decide if they need to show a color or letter or nothing
