# forck.live — 8–14 November 2021 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2021-W45, 8–14 November 2021, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2021-W45 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### Replit — Announcing File Persistence in Hosted Apps for Hackers - Company: Replit (replit.com) - Announced: 2021-11-11T21:30:00+00:00 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://replit.com/blog/replspace-filesystems - Record: https://forck.live/items/18217-announcing-file-persistence-in-hosted-apps-for-hackers - Subject: Replit Agent We mostly think of repls as being full computers in the cloud, and one of the goals of the platform team at Replit is to enable people to build almost anything in replspace . In the past, when a file was stored in a repl, it would only be saved when the editor was opened. This went against our goal and made it impossible to write certain servers that changed files at runtime. This was especially hard for newcomers, because that's the easiest way to persist information. Starting today, Hacker and Teams subscribers will be able to write services that accept file uploads or store data in a local database (think SQLite) or text file, regardless of how the repl was started. A demo of what it looks like for a server to be able to save its files: https://sqlite.luisreplit.repl.co What is replspace? replspace is a term we coined up. In operating systems, memory is divided into kernel space and user space . Kernel space is where the kernel executes and provides its services . The kernel can access all of the memory, but the user cannot access the kernel's memory directly. … ### LG AI Research — Discovering new AI opportunities in LG Discovery Lab - Company: LG AI Research (lgresearch.ai) - Announced: 2021-11-08 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://www.lgresearch.ai/news/view?seq=154 - Record: https://forck.live/items/11088-discovering-new-ai-opportunities-in-lg-discovery-lab - Subject: EXAONE LG AI Research is participating in LG Discovery Lab, an AI education program for teenagers launched by LG affiliates.
