Spent multiple days troubleshooting slow download speeds. Turns out I was confusing myself measuring in bytes per second, and my old router was giving its all, but my internet speed had slowly surpassed its transmission speed 🤣

Solution: new, faster router. Thank you for your service old router 🫡

Basically 3 options, as I understand:
1. Mac Mini/Studio
2. Ryzen AI Max-based mini PC
3. Get *really* lucky with datacenter hardware: dnhkng.github.io/posts/hopper/

Regardless; more RAM = capacity for bigger models.

Not Python specific, but have you tried Zed?

Its usually written on a laptop/desktop as script files, or web frameworks (Django). Deployment varies from on-demand local scripts to dockerized web apps, and everything in between.

Its a weakly typed interpreted scripting language. Benefits include wide adoption, tons of packages that extend it like pandas or numpy, and a relatively low barrier to entry. It's great if you want to build something quickly and app performance isn't as important as having a working app ASAP.

I initially learned with Mosh's YouTube tutorial. There are lots of other options including books like Automate The Boring Stuff. Trick is finding one that works for you.

Depends. I don't know Ruby so it could be cool to learn. If time's a factor; Python.

I struggled with date objects, and I don't think I was the only one. Maybe repeated in-class practice for the students as well as homework, to try and boost familiarity?

What hardware are you using to run the LLM queries? I've been experimenting with Nvidia/CUDA.

My strategy usually involves heavy application of unmodified bootstrap 🤣

Love that we get fun little projects like this pyscript.net
Building a pyscript site really helped boost my confidence as a newbie dev.
Pyscript.net
PyScript is a platform for Python in the browser.

I think I wish I had your design skills. It's my weak point.

I wish magnetic had been part of the USB-C spec from the beginning, but alas...

Don’t buy these dangerous USB-C accessories
You risk killing your laptop, tablet, or phone using cheap magnetic USB-C adapters.

Next step is to integrate it into VS Code/Codium and/or Zed.
