So I'm thinking that I'd like to try and attend #PyOhio, but it turns out that Cleaveland gets pretty lousy passenger train service, the only option from Boston would have me arriving at 4 AM 😭

@SnoopJ yeah we're right in between cities that get scheduled 😩

Hmm, when did that happen? I confess I have not been reading much lately, missed this.

Party's winding down, I guess...

It seems that this change also broke "Read With Kindle", I cannot get the book I wanted on my device after a good hour of waiting for sync to catch up.

Other means it is, then, pee-bottle company.

@SnoopJ it just struck me how all their digital book and media devices are named for burning the things they aim to replace, so to speak.

of all the ways I thought I might be welcomed back from my time off to attend PyCon US, a promotion was not one of the ones I was prepared for

I guess I'm a team lead now :blobfox0_0:

relatedly… does anybody have favorite reading on how to lead?

@SnoopJ “The Manager’s Path” is worthwhile, and targeted at different levels so you can read the bits that are most relevant to you.

The Boston Python organizers list keeps getting solicitations to attend a reptile expo and I can't even really fault them for this confusion 🐍

So cool to see AEDs discussed in @brainwane 's closing keynote at . My brother helps maintain this infrastructure (caring for others) certifying the devices on a regular inspection schedule. Very meaningful to me that she has helped make data on AEDs more accessible :blobfoxheartcute:

This is two weeks in a row that I will have missed and I'll probably miss it again next weekend. Missing the movie crew!

@SnoopJ just toot stuff like "holy shit YEAR was way too into casual misogyny" and "I have no idea how they are going to wrap this up in 5 minutes", no one will be able to tell you're not actually watching

I did indeed miss but sounds like it was a fun one :blobfoxcry2:

set a record at tonight's auction. If I heard right, the previous record was $40,000, tonight raised around $60,000. Fierce bidding for all sorts of amazing items

"[Language models] are really just fancy autocomplete" (but maybe they can still be useful when paired with a suitably scoped task?)

As usual, @simon has a level-headed perspective on machine learning.

@simon's hypothetical example of prompt injection to an email assistant is...not all that hypothetical! A post on this that recently went mildly viral: https://tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter/112441889190313713

Josh Wiedemeier's talk on decompilation of bytecode was quite good, great diagrams showing the by-hand process, discussion of automatic decompilation and the challenges of keeping up with changes in the bytecode.

I am NOT a language model maximalist but I find his work on PyLingual to be pretty impressive, the results shown in the talk look great and the UI is clearly built to deal with failure cases

@SnoopJ That was a really great talk and the questions asked during the technical hiccup provided some additional insights.

Boston Python is apparently well represented on this train to , I just ran into one member while stretching my legs, and they let me know of a third!

SnoopJ,
@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io avatar

Probably more people who are PyCon US-bound on the train, too. The specific phrase that came up was "PyCon-coded" 😅

SnoopJ,
@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io avatar

Lucky me that my train had a good number of -bound on it, who all arrived about as ready for a late dinner as I did! Thanks @coderanger and @glyph for a nice chat (and for teaching me about Thai gastrodiplomacy)! 😸

I'm here at , my first time attending in person! Staying through the first day of sprints (although I have no idea who I will sprint with).

If you're attending too and would like to meet and say hello, reply or shoot me a DM :blobfoxcute:

Realizing in horror that the number of channels we have on Slack is approximately equal to the number of people employed by the company

@Doomed_Daniel god willing we'll get there one day

@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@SnoopJ you'll most probably get above it because you'll have multiple channels with the same members but created for different purposes (or because they forgot they already have one like that) ;)
