Got my closing keynote at EuroPython in a couple of hours. I'm excited. It's kind of gonzo and has a big CTA.

We live in an age of wonder.

“…the model didn't get a single one correct." Ouch. I got a public school diploma but even I know that zero is a low number.
Another great explainer, thanks Jodie. Good analogies and as always, lots of receipts.
Your point about training data calls to mind the recent @npub1mjx…httg video about model collapse. Will did a good nuanced views of various sides of the issue.

So @npub1e75…8zgm saw this and said [@t_redactyl](https://fosstodon.org/@t_redactyl ) “looks like she's concerned, visiting her befuddled dad sitting next to her”.
Jodie, do something about this outrage!

I loved the review, thanks for sharing. Not sure if I should read Empire of AI first, then this one.
A particular thanks to the closing about theft of the web.

Ditto. In advocacy, our job is now to skate to that puck.
I also nodded vigorously on this: “What do you think is easier to explain to your board and public shareholders: that we made a mistake and overhired a few years ago, or that AI is causing us to need to lower our headcount?”

To add to this, the XML files in .idea are kind of an internal serialization format which might be subject to change.

Wish I could have been there, both to hear the talk but also just to hang out with everybody.

Hey Python AI early experimenters such as @npub1gv2…tlwl ... how often do you get code back with type hints?

Thanks a bunch for mentioning this. Really not much writeup (or videos) yet on the topic.
I was thinking about converting my PEP 750 universe of repos to a workspace this weekend.

PyCharm (and JetBrains IDEs) have this innovative idea called "endpoints" to speed up your DX for web API dev. I did a video on it, then today a blog post runthrough:

My colleague and buddy @npub1e75…8zgm is smarter than me, more creative than me, and is right 99.9% of the time.
He's also funny af. Every time, he finds the one thing, and lands it.

2024-09-25 20:11:02 UTC

Doing APIs in PyCharm can have a lot of moving parts. I did a video showing the @pycharm endpoints tool. It's something really innovative by the team. Eager to see how this grows over the years.

Hey Python typing folks. Let's say I have a dataclass with a field called target. The value is a typing.Protocol…not an object that matches the Protocol, but the protocol itself.
What's the type hint? (If you say typing._ProtocolMeta then you have some ‘splaining to do.)

Ahh, that's super cool, thanks @npub1nmm…0f6a I'll park a package name of Emojiscript. Or would you prefer Triplettscript?
I'm hoping by DjangoCon I have something cute I could do as a lightning talk.

I've never been a part of a PEP. It's up now and getting some good commentary. But also, some things in the ballpark of some f-string gloom-and-doom.

2024-08-11 18:08:24 UTC

I just did a little travel back to Python circa 2016-ish. Turns out f-strings were somewhat controversial. Even the name required an edict.
