100 Drones Swarm in Formation
Ever since I thought of drones, I wanted this, but to like control 50 drones with a leap motion and orchestrate their movement. (Obviously, this would require a lot of practice and a lot of lawyers.) Awesome 2 minute video.
This Japanese startup has created a hologram assistant to control all your devices
Neat! I just started playing around with Assistant.ai for Android, and it's a pretty sweet app. Having "Sam" talk to me and help me, even if "she" is a rudimentary speech interface, is really interesting. I just asked her how she's doing. She said, "Super! Thanks for asking! You?" I said, "Not too bad." She said, "Excellent! I hope things stay that way. How can I help you today." I said, "I'm fine, I was just wondering." She said, "Great! Glad to hear it."

Interested in putting your money where your Glitchet is? You can support Glitchet with a monthly subscription on Patreon, or a one-time payment via PayPal. Money for Glitchet goes into paying for server costs, spending more time developing it, and telling it you love it. Alternatively, if cryptocurrency is more your bag, you can send me meager amounts of cyber money at these wallet addresses:
I started a new workout regimen so I'm fairly sore and tired. You know, I've always thought it's weird that there's "regime", "regimen", and "regiment". Very easy to get wrong. Anyways, I hope your week is going swell! I wrote a little script to help me turn a flat text document into the YAML I feed through my newsletter generator. Maybe I'll write a blog post about how this works later.
You ever think about what life would be like without Glitchet? I mean, I'm sure it'd be like, fine. But it'd be a little lamer. Tell a friend about it!
