How does this compare to the “official” Jupyter desktop app: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

The scanner uses some neural nets and an IR camera to see if everything around the iris checks out. So you can’t (easily at least) scan some disembodied eyes, or your dog’s eyes.

The orb does a round of “liveness” checks before the retina imaging to ensure someone’s not trying to scan their dog / detached eyeball.

Theodore Gray, cofounder of wolfram research, was responsible for notebooks I believe. > I wrote the Notebook user interface for Mathematica and led the user interface group for ov…

It allows iCloud or obsidian syncing. I tried to set it up with Dropbox because I didn’t trust iClouds conflict resolution and couldn’t get it to work.

With proof of stake, a complete chain history is not strictly required by validating nodes. You don’t want everyone to delete it, but it’s not required for consensus.

I believe they’re treated as byte sequences: https://go.dev/ref/spec#String_types

I’d imagine they would, kind of like the levels of arbitrators and courts today. The article said the neighbours first vote that work is done. Most of the time that could work. But…

HN is basically the “Dad internet”. They’ll instinctively shoot down all your ideas, but their accumulated experience is helpful once in a real discussion.

The example in the article had a way to enforce contract breaking - the person had to put up collateral until the work was done. There’s problems with that particular mechanism, bu…

I think with any weird new technology, fundamentally no knows if it’s going to work. People who can’t see or imagine use cases become sceptics. But others who piece together enough…

I suspect that blockchains won’t need to reference external data to be useful. If the data on chain becomes valuable enough, an ecosystem of open source, auditable programs operati…

I think professional software devs won’t get much value from copilot. OpenAI’s demo from a few months back showed it as a sort of bridge to convert natural language instructions in…

Most of the comments here are opinions on what other people should do to stop climate change. For those that have read up on it, What are the highest impact things the average hack…

The flickering is concerning. Kind of suggests their NN hasn’t learned basic object persistence yet.

An iPhone 12 weighs 164g [1], so, through the magic of the metric system, it needs to displace a minimum of 164ml of water to float. The iPhone has an external volume of 14.67cm * …

It exploded mid air just after landing burn started. In this video you can hear engines start then an immediate explosion https://mobile.twitter.com/TheFavoritist/status/1376895130…

> - The passphrase for the Trust Wallet is saved as a screenshot on his iPhone. Could the photos have been uploaded to iCloud and compromised from there? Or accessed from another d…

Keep the python brand and fix these things in a new backwards incompatible python release. Call it Python 4. I’m sure it’ll only take a couple of years for everyone to migrate

I feel semver combines two separate ideas into the meaning of v1: By labeling as v1 you're: - communicating the package is stable and will be maintained - communication that breaki…

A consequence of the complexity is that some devs stay below v2 forever because it’s easier. Backwards incompatible changes pile up in v0.x’s. It’s then really difficult for consum…

I think I lucked out with a strong stomach, though I do perform better on days I eat after exercise.

Just to counter all the early-bird routines here: Wake up 1130, muesli, start work 1200. Lunch late afternoon depending on hunger, about 30 mins. Work until 2000 or 2100 then get s…

FYI, the basic features mentioned are available in plain macOS. Remap caps lock to control in system preferences. Then ctrl-p: up, ctrl-n: down, ctrl-b: left, ctrl-f: right ctrl-d …

It could definitely help a lot of unbanked people. But that seems to be a nice benefit rather than the core mission.
