I really appreciated his coding-style, but the bar is quite low on research/ML-algorithms to be fair. I still wonder how he managed to get „trending“ repositories regularly despite…

What was happening with this account? I was often seeing popular but empty (only title of the paper and maybe a short readme) repositories that were created directly after a paper …

Do you have a link to share? Would be highly interested!

I would say uv provides quite a lot of additional features that can be used in various ways to create plain-old venvs. Note, however that uv-pack can also pack a subset of your uv-…

I kept running into the same problem: modern Python tooling, but deployments to air-gapped systems are a pain. Even with uv, moving a fully locked environment into a network-isolat…

It's kind of ironic that BMW pushed CATL into the EV market [1]. [1] https://cleantechnica.com/2022/06/30/how-herbert-diess-zeng-...

Why would you say useless? They hopefully make a couple of good decisions. Three good decisions a day [1], maybe? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfY3uRCvEMo

I am using runtime type and shape checking and wrote a tiny library to merge both into a single typecheck decorator [1]. It‘s not perfect, but I haven‘t found a better approach yet…

There appears to be (almost) no true competition in healthcare, therefore no real incentives to improve productivity. Wages in healthcare rise disproportionately without productivi…

> The key insight is that smaller, well-bounded changes are exponentially easier to review thoroughly. I am not sure if that is the real insight. It appears to me that most people …

That's basically where I am coming from :). I know about my addiction.

Working in the ML field, I can't hate Python. But the type system (pre-3.12, of course) cost me a lot of nerves. Hoping for a better post-3.12 experience once all libraries are usa…

That‘s actually quite similar to the nearness library [1]. The main difference appears to be vicinity‘s focus on simplicity while nearness tries to expose most of the functionality…

That's the point I was trying to make, which is also why I brought up 'pseudo-local' development environments in the article.

Maybe you refer to [1]? These are the two options I like to show students who first get in touch with data visualization. [1] https://www.data-to-viz.com/ Note: In the about page, …

There are libraries that support shape checking and I‘ve written a package to combine beartype’s runtime typechecks with jaxtyping‘s shapechecks, see https://github.com/davnn/safec…

Is 5k an appropriate amount for such a finding? Sounds incredibly cheap for such a large organization. How much would something like this be worth on the black market?

> To me it seems like it should be a top priority. Maybe most people are content with children, the current state of the art against aging communities?

Not yet, I believe. Revenue from iPhone sales is still quite fundamental to Apple‘s success, it‘s more than triple the revenue from all services combined (not including Google‘s se…

Python as a glue language (as it‘s mostly used in data intensive applications) for something like MPI should not add too much overhead?
