Uv: Running a script with dependencies

A Python script is a file intended for standalone execution, e.g., with python <script>.py . Using uv to execute scripts ensures that script dependencies are managed without manually managing environments. Note If you are not familiar with Python environments: every Python installation has an environment that packages can be installed in.

If writing is thinking then what happens if AI is doing the writing and reading?

news.ycombinator.com Steven Sinofsky 2026-02-19 02:45:15

Something I worry about with generative AI in business and commercial use: almost no one fully reads anything in those environments. Now imagine when even the author hasn't read what was written... yikes. How does AI writing and reading impact this reality? I used to write long memos—significant ones—maybe once a year. I'd send them to thousands. That scale alone signals, "someone else will read it." I hoped direct reports and close colleagues would read them. I could count on 2 or 3 people to

Morgan Stanley warns against ‘misguided’ idea of Apple acquiring an AI search engine

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-19 06:43:26

There’s been no shortage of rumors about Apple’s supposed intentions of acquiring an AI search company, such as Perplexity, to help it catch up in the AI race. And while many seem to agree that this would be at least a partial solution to Apple’s problems, Morgan Stanley isn’t that convinced. In an investor note published today (via AppleInsider), Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring states that it is “misguided” to think that Apple should acquire an AI search engine, as it is not the company’s

Videos and images in Google Messages have a smooth new animation (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Messages may introduce a new animation for the media player. Videos and images now slide into view from the bottom of the screen instead of fading in and out. You can also swipe down to close an image or video. Google is not new to tweaking its apps.

Yoni Appelbaum on the real villians behind our housing and mobility problems

Over the past few decades, an astonishing pattern has taken place: Americans no longer migrate. From a peak of roughly one third of the country moving cities in a single year, today, migration rates have declined and are now in line with the Old Continent of Europe. The dynamism of the American economy was predicated on all kinds of people seeking out work and building families, but now that mobility is gone — and we need to find out why.

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing.

FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices
