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 the repositories being empty.

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 was published?

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-monorepo for a specific package (there are still some quirks

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. [1] https://github.com/davnn/safechec

There appears to be (almost) no true competition in healthcare, therefore no real incentives to improve productivity. Wages in healthcare rise disproportionately without productivity gains (Baumols disease); why invest in digitalization?

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 usable in 3.12+. After that experience, I’ve come to tru

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 of the underlying backends. [1] https://github.c

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?

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 search engine deal).

I would be highly surprised if LLMs would NOT be used as individual math tutors. In fact ChatGPT would likely already be very helpful.
