@mkennedy.codes wrt combining async/await and free threading -- I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility. Go and Erlang map their thread constructs onto a fixed number of OS threads, usually matching the core count. So you may not need any decorator saying "this is cpu bound"

The thing that python wouldn't have in FT+async right away is that Go can interrupt a goroutine mid task to switch to another, so if you have 8 cores and hit 8 CPU bound things, you might get screwed there. But running 8 parallel async event loops isn't super far fetched

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

@pythonbytes.fm for your live recordings, do you happen to have an iCal url I can add to my calendar? I'm anti-YouTube-notify-bell (well really anti-most-app-notifications) but I still want to join one of the recordings.

It's not really saying that it's crap, it's saying that "LLMs are bullshitters" in the same sense that you might encounter a human who is a bullshitter.

When you ask a (human) bullshitter a question, they'll gladly give you an answer and you can never really be sure if it's correct. They might actually know it or they might just be making it up to provide you with an answer. You can never trust the answer of a bullshitter.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

BREAKING. From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

@samatkins.co Thanks for forking pylibyear, it solved some problems with libyear running on newer python versions. So I hate to be the one to mention this, but I think the author of the original Python project (Nasir Hussain) passed away back in May of 2021.

I was going to get in touch to see if he was interested in finding another maintainer, found a link to his FB profile from his GitHub profile, and noticed the post saying he had passed. That is if I'm understanding the translation of the post correctly. It's a sad way to find out.

It doesn't get you out of doing labs and POCs to ensure it actually does work, but that makes it a lot harder to fudge an RFP response

The argument that one unified voice gets NE more attention is flawed. We get far more attention when both parties think they need to work for our vote. The same is true for other states too.

You are up to date.
