Are there any good blog posts or even django-dev threads that might be useful to reference? <br/><br/>#PyconUS #Django 2025-05-22T08:03:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsryte7wuj8m0m4apw036lyj5g0avcvv2mwkaw4zr4kvdw27d9pjcgzyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slxtaq4w0 Another amazing #PyconUS closes as I heard onward to Amsterdam. The Python community that comes together is a treat, and I feel profoundly lucky that it’s been my professional network for my entire career. 💗<br/><br/>Thanks again to all the PSF staff, volunteers, and speakers who make it happen each year! 2025-05-20T23:22:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdhcdz9z68mnvgq6rt4fl0mp2xhr84w46tpqn880evhygxzdn69tqzyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slxvwtza7 Always love seeing the Pac-Man Rule spreading around the Python community.

It was a huge inspiration for the successful Python Developer in Residence program, and helped push the Django and Python ecosystems forward in an important and under-appreciated way.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2014/sep/18/dsf-calls-applicants-django-fellow/">https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2014/sep/18/dsf-calls-applicants-django-fellow/</a><br/><br/>#appreciation #python 2024-12-13T16:38:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfz5w5fg249m3jf6qzf5a8ddrv640uzatrrgsnu8p48erlzgp645gzyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slx93jql2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy9mu609ufh3yxjvdnmwjjfp7q36ytwzv5y5zwgwnz4jz00smxdccmwpdpz'>nevent1q…pdpz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been pondering this some lately with Write the Docs as well. It&#39;s quite difficult to hand off leadership, and there&#39;s also various aspects of it (in the WTD case, being &#34;conference chair&#34; for the primary conference, being &#34;board president&#34; for the community board (already handed off), etc.).<br/><br/>I think it&#39;s more difficult to build new leaders virtually. I&#39;ve found a lot more success with finding folks who want to &#34;rise up&#34; since we&#39;ve gone back in person. 2024-11-19T18:42:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqynwquav2yy83rkeg4tdehzkm5m560a0gh68sdan7wans58jpjuczyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slxwkxscc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy0kejhdsn68gar9fy9yqs3ujgrg5mhv3yqm8dy99qclszhemxdfqyd5rpg'>nevent1q…5rpg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Appreciate the info! I am already pretty impressed with that 3B llama model that runs pretty fast on my old M1, so definitely feels like the quality of what we can run on a 64GB machine over the next few years is gonna be pretty impressive. 2024-11-02T16:02:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9qt4w8jlwfdkzcymy94av0lhcqhmuhvs3jquuf2kfwe87djrramczyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slx7gw245 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp36vp9xx9v50xxfmc0yzmxct85uv58zsyz64wawcc5t70y4jys7qaxstek'>nevent1q…stek</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Makes sense. Basically RAM limits how big of a model you can run, and GPU &amp; memory bandwidth is limits the token/s, from what I&#39;ve read? 2024-11-01T23:24:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9fetwdx77n33p8s9q524kf2w0pnqxuwnrgdxsvml7q2zf75mc3yszyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slxkq5rpd <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gv26rplqyjqcfyhxryuqjwaxs0dwve3y6gpv6smn3hjm3wse3s8squtlwl" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Simon Willison</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gv2…tlwl</span>)</a></span> any recommendations for what M4 MacBooks I should be looking at if I want a future proof running local LLMs for the next couple years? 2024-11-01T22:16:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw8luyjryzqgxjlalu0w05y58mxuwlnrtpuxz8qx85amnvf6ye0tqzyrlsychen8eqca6u8lzq4q9tjufvf9ttgtt2v5qvgcandywls7slx4sj9hs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszn60atavae83qcy6nwd2wpzle4npunyp3qyyfprgn4j8nw9hfqns5cpurz'>nevent1q…purz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>ooh.
