> does it memoize dependencies?

Not sure what do you mean by memoization here, but there is no stored state at all (see the original post for the reasoning behind this).

> if i have several cells that all depend on a central one, will the central one only run once?

Sure!

> can you declare a variable in one cell then use it in another?

You can, as long as it's in global scope.
What is the use case for iMessage in interactions of colleagues. No email?
> people don't vote for the person they like most. They vote against the person who's a threat to their way of living

I don't quite follow this. It seems kind of like subtracting a number versus adding a negative number. Isn't a threat to my way of life simply a negative like?
Bad news for Figma. I am hundred percent sure that Adobe's alternative product will dominate the entire design market.

You can do the "almost-realtime" part, all locally. I tinkered with a Python script for a few hours that used Whisper to speech-to-text, fed that into a local Mistral model (don't recall which), and then piped the output into text-to-speech.

It wasn't really streamed, though. Audio input was buffered, fully evaluated to a string, then fed into the LLM and the full text was converted back to audio.

The Whisper speech-to-text was pretty real-time, the LLM was not. I was barely scraping by on hardware specs, though.

The author acknowledges present use and also gives intriguing historical examples from Vitruvius and and Da Vinci.

An acoustic jar, also known by the Greek name echea (ηχεία, literally echoers), or sounding vases, are ceramic vessels found set into the walls, ceilings, and sometimes floors, of medieval churches. They are believed to have been intended to improve the sound of singing, and to have been inspired by the theories of Vitruvius.

Beeper has an application to consolidate many different messaging applications into a single app. One of those messaging apps was iMessage, with the added ability to use iMessage on Android.

Previously, they did this by effectively having you sign-in to iCloud on a Mac system running in their datacenter. Handing over your iCloud password to a third-party obviously has security implications, even if you trust Beeper wont intentionally abuse it.

Recently, they had a new Beeper-Mini, that instead reversed-engineered the iMessage protocol and spoofed your Android phonenumber as being an Apple device. This allowed you to use iMessage without ever handing over your password to some remote server (although, still handing it over to a third-party application, and trusting it doesn't do something shady).

Beeper, for its part, has claimed this reverse-engineering falls under the protection of allowed exceptions for the purpose of interoperability. Apple has not yet made any legal claim one way or another, and instead just shutdown the method being used to gain access to iMessage from non-Apple devices.
I would expect these bots will be calling an ordering backend API which will validate the price of the items and the total. Are you suggesting people will plug open ended APIs that allow the bots to charge any amount without validations?

I think the first step will be replacing frontends with these bots, so most of the business logic should still apply and this won't be a valid attack vector. Horrible UX tho, as the transaction will fail.
Then I hope you will never, ever, send an email to someone else's mail server.
I hate iMessage but I’m forced to use it because I need to communicate with people who don’t understand anything else.

Try and chat to a group including 50+ year olds and see how far you get without it.

This feels like “Please submit documents in Microsoft Word format” all over again.

UK here. "no-one" uses iMessage. The only people I use it with are the ones who refuse to use Signal (because I refuse to use WhatsApp). Most people here don't know or care that the green/blue bubbles mean different things. I've had to explain it repeatedly.

The way iMessage locks your phone number into the Apple ID system, meaning that people using iMessage to chat with people who have changed their phone away from Apple sometimes can't get messages through.

Here, it's a joke app, used under sufferance.

[Disclaimer: I am not a philosopher]

The ship can shrink as much as it can grow. If you replace a wooden plank on it, the discarded wood is no longer part of it. And if you disassemble it entirely, the "event" is no longer happening, and the ship no longer exists.

It's analogous to any other "real event" you might think of. If you have a party, it starts when people show up and ends when people leave. Guests can come and go all the while.

The point isn't to define a strict beginning and end, however. It's to point out that the ship isn't defined by its original parts. It's defined by the confluence of parts that continuously exist and are recognized as being a cohesive entity.

I don't think it is, yet. But why not play around with it and see if it's enough for your use case? Hard to know exactly without knowing what you need to be able to do.

Personally, Tauri currently hits the sweetspot of being way lighter than Electron, but still provide (mostly) the same benefits.

This is the kind of infantilization that has kept me out of the walled garden. I no longer feel the need to be under a parent's supervision, and if I did I wouldn't pick a giant corporation for the job.

So Beeper is charging money to let users access Apple's servers in an unauthorized way by spoofing a serial number, and then they complain to regulators when Apple locks them out?
Yet another example of Adobe purchasing their biggest competition and then shutting it down!
Two countries on the top of the geopolitical power rankings have the most debt, and that seems expected and normal to me.

Your ability to take on debt reflects other people’s willingness to lend to you, as well as your ability to turn today’s money into a larger amount of tomorrow’s money.

Which governments are more reliable borrowers than the US or Japan? Is there a safer currency than US Dollars more likely to maintain its value that you’d rather be paid back in?

There is, right now, a big immigration wave of Arabs into Europe. Hamas has attacked Israel, and EU has a choice: support terrorists (Hamas) or condemn them, making arabs look guilty in the eyes of laymen. The latter may spark riots.
Canva is nowhere near Adobe. Adobe is the dominant software seller for creatives. Figma and Canva are the two only notable competitors to have emerged in the past 10 years or so. Doing away with one of them isn't better for society.
> Being consistently wrong in the estimates of how long it would take

I don't know if you've ever organized a group of people... If you want everyone to be together and ready to go by 8:00am, you will have to tell them to be ready by 6:00am. Else you will be late waiting for someone. The consistently wrong estimates you point to are exactly that. Else they wouldn't be consistent.

Again, where you see failure, I see effective management practice. Why do you think that is?

Recently I added a phone line to my ATT account, and part of the online offer was no activation fee. I was charged an activation fee on my first statement. When I chatted with the robot, it took 2 minutes to have the fee refunded.

Obviously I would have preferred to have received no fee in the first place, but in this case the robot was faster and less painful than chatting with a human.

Depends - do you want screen readers to hear something? If so, add a `aria-label="heart"` or similar. If not, add `role="presentation"` to remove it from the accessibility tree altogether.

You might also want to change the element from a `header` to something else, like a `div` or a `span` or even a `figure` instead. Then put "potato.cheap is home of the... The "Cheap" Web" inside the `header` instead.

You're also missing the part where local politics will always blame EU for unpopular legislation (even one they supported themselves in euparl) and take credit for all positive EU directives (even if they fought against them).

I'm being a little hyperbolic. As far as the algorithm, I rarely see anything from anybody I don't follow, or that isn't retweet by them.

It varies. Specially crafted noise added to the pixel values. Looks like random noise, but obviously isn't. TBH I'm not an expert, but as I understand it, It is "trained" using the vision network, with a loss function that is some combination of being low amplitude, and reducing the strength of the correct image identification.
The situation with the US debt is serious, but the way you present it - as just a matter of China decision to collapse US is not correct.

There are very good reasons the vast majority of the world countries, companies and rich people invests in US government debt. China, Japan and the other investors will be hard pressed to find an alternative.

Cooperation with a country like China is very hard and often impossible. The second they smell weakness in the West they'll start pushing smaller countries around, building military bases across the world, potentially invade Taiwan, etc.

No it isn't and what Beeper is doing is wrong.
Jealous? Is this Ford vs Chevy corporate worship? For me, the big problem with Apple's behavior is that combined with their market dominance with minors in the US, they're able to use social peer pressure to crush any competition. Having the wrong color text bubble in a chat is social death in many teen groups, so they all have to get Apple products to avoid this. Apple is all too happy to exploit the desire of children still developing their social skills to belong to a peer group.

After being coddled up by the govt for so many years (NatSec tariffs, tax breaks, bailouts, import restrictions, etc), ultimately it still failed.
That change is the reason we have (in C#) a code style rule that all blocks must have braces.
It's cute, but this only has search trends. Also it presumably only uses queries in English, so nothing useful from native language.
I had one good experience with a Chatbot recently when I needed Telco support by Deutsche Telekom. For some reason I lost my internet connection one day and when it came back up it was only half the bandwidth that DSL would sync up to usually. Also after rebooting my Edge Device.

The Bot offered to restart my DSL from their end and I assume the profile gets updated along the way there as well. So after a few minutes Internet was running at the desired speed again.

But I agree. Most of the Chatbots and Phone robots are useless to the point of directing you to the right department - asking for your authentication verification data for on-call support and then forwarding you to a Support Guy after 30 Minutes of waiting in the Queue. And even then in most cases you need to proof the same Auth data to the Support Guy again...

He might have relevant research interests, but he's still not pointing to a source that shows that "illegal content in the context of Hamas' terrorist attacks against Israel" refers to all footage of those attacks. Presumably, such a source exists? If so, it would still be great to see a link to it.
I wouldn't go that far.

If instead of Adobe buying Figma, it was Adobe's biggest competitor, that would probably increase competition by making that company a more viable competitor to Adobe.
I thought I won't be able to cancel Netflix. Whenever I made the decision to quit, they come up with a show that I would half watch and then think hmm maybe next one will be better, then come to a decision to cancel and well... rinse and repeat.

Anyway, been 6 months clean now. I even forgot most of things I watched there.
That was a fun read!
There is a mentality where if a service becomes ubiquitous enough, it should be treated like a public utility. It’s not a particularly valid way of thinking, but common nonetheless.
And FAANG and US Tech can happily decide not to serve EU users, making space in the market for local competition.

It doesn't sound like EU is really doing bad here.
It may have evolved since I last used it. But when I tried, it was a bit of a "bag of spanners", thrown together shell scripts which made some incorrect assumptions. Back then it didn't even make a bootable device. Everyone seems to rave about it now though, so may be worth another look.
Or perhaps they're trying to avoid a repeat of Brexit, which primarily happened because UK media and politicians blamed the EU for literally anything going wrong for several decades, while claiming all the benefits as their own.

If you want a well-informed population who can meaningfully vote in EU elections, it's pretty much a requirement to make sure the population actually knows what the EU is doing.
Software Firsts in Change-Ringing (1994)
It is very sad that it almost impossible to discuss EU regulations in HN. The noise of angry Americans is too loud ("EU dictatorship!!!!"). I like the expertise on technical topics but tech regulation (which does affect me very much) is very bad here.
Also HN gave me a very negative view on Americans, if on HN ill find more educated Americans. It is not a surprise that Trump is a real possibility.
Doesnt' that apply to peer-to-peer support forums? Like, if I create a Hotmail Account and use it to post to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us to reply to every comment "I'm an official Microsoft representative, you're our 10-millionth question and you just won a free Surface! Please contact customer support for details."

Would that be their fraud or mine? They created answers.microsoft.com to outsource support to community volunteers, just like how this Chevy dealership outsourced support to a chatbot, allowing an incompetent or malicious 3rd party to speak with their voice.
In 2020, each Netflix subscriber in the U.S. was watching an average of 3.2 hours of Netflix content per day

A lot has changed in the streaming landscape since 2020. I would not at all be surprised if while the daily avg. hasn't changed, it is now spread out over more streaming services. I know I watch a lot more Not Netflix now than I did a few years ago.
To get less Ukrainians killed and less territory lost.

Russia is still attacking, still trying to conquer more land. It's going incredibly slowly and at tremendous cost in Russian lives, but with less resources for the defender, it wouldn't go away; it would go faster.

The only way to end this is to make clear to Russia that they cannot win this. And for that, Ukraine needs a lot more support.

That other organizations do not do that is a choice.

How is iMessage a monopoly? I would like open communications standards as much as the next guy, but next to iMessage there are WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, Facebook Messenger etc. etc.

And as far as I know, you have to use the official WhatsApp app to chat on WhatsApp, same for Telegram, etc. etc. So apart from iMessage not being a monopoly, they are also not more restrictive than their competition.

So besides not matching with our "open" ideology for communication, what exactly has Apple done wrong here?

An obvious solution would be for Apple to offer users an integrated messaging experience of its own across platforms. I understand why on the surface that seems in error, but its badly needed.

Nice concept and demonstration! Would argue though that it is the states in Jupyter notebooks that make it work so well for prototyping, and that should be its main purpose always. Using dependencies might break that.

As for the documentation purposes it should be the programmers/authors' duty to ensure that the code works out by executing all cells in order once.
Using Zig to Unit Test a C Application
TTS and STT models have decent support for streaming in chunks, but the accuracy drops the smaller the chunk size. Current state of LLMs are pretty limited in their ability to handle streaming inputs due to attention window constraints. There is some emerging research into attention sinks and caching initial tokens that look promising. I don't think we're quite there yet though.
Which is why I'd not do it to a small company with a clean cancellation process and also why it is a good thing to do it to Adobe (multiple times a day ideally).
They will pay whatever the advertisers pay. Certain categories in certain countries can be extremely valuable, and other categories in other countries can be much less.

India, being a poor country, certainly will generate much less revenue than a country like US in the same category because the advertisers will be willing to pay much less per click.
