To many mathematicians and math enthusiasts, the word "innumeracy" brings to mind popular writing like that of John Allen Paulos. But inequities in our quantitative reasoning skills have received considerable interest and attention from researchers lately, including in psychology, development, education, and public health. Innumeracy in the Wild: Misunderstanding and Misusing Numbers (Oxford University Press, 2020) is a unified treatment of these broad-ranging studies, from the ways more and less numerate people differ in our perceptions of risk and our number-based decisions to the roots of our numeric faculties and how we can make the best of them. Dr. Ellen Peters has made significant contributions to the subject and brings her expertise and an exceptional clarity to its presentation. Precious little of the research surveyed in her book could fit into this interview! We discussed the three components of numeric ability—objective numeracy, subjective numeracy, and the innate number sense—and how they vary within and across populations. We talked through some key lessons from this literature, such as the importance of calibrating our self-efficacy to our real ability and an awareness of how our cultural allegiances can drive even our mathematical reasoning. And we identified some of the essential personal habits and policy levers (early childhood education!!) available to us in our efforts to improve our individual numeracy and our collective numeric decision-making. For a firm grounding in the state of knowledge and urgent open questions, there may be no better resource for many years to come. Suggested companion works: Contributions from the labs of Isaac Lipkus, Angela Fagerlin, John Opfer, Edward Cokely, Rocio Garcia-Retamero, Jakub Traczyk, Agata Sobków, Wändi Bruine de Bruin, Keith Stanovich, and Valerie Reyna. Ellen Peters, Ph.D., is the Philip H. Knight Chair, and Director of the Center for Science Communication Research, in the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication. As a decision psychologist, she studies the basic building blocks of human judgment and decision making and their links with effective communication techniques and has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers on these topics. She is former President of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Association for Psychological Science, the American Psychological Association, and the Society for Experimental Social Psychology. She also works with federal agencies to advance decision and communication sciences in health and health policy, including having been Chair of FDA’s Risk Communication Advisory Committee and member of the NAS’s Science of Science Communication committee. She has been awarded the Jane Beattie Scientific Recognition Award and an NIH Group Merit Award. Finally, she has received extensive funding from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.

Who are the Roma -- also colloquially called "Gypsies"? Where did they come from, and how did they end up all over Europe? How have they endured through persecution, expulsions, and political upheaval, without a state or country of their own? We trace the path of this remarkable and resilient people from their mysterious origins in India to their arrival in Constantinople and medieval Europe and through the wave of persecution and ethnic cleansing in the 1600s. Image: Gypsies telling fortunes, in Cosmographie Universelle, Munster, 1552. Suggested further reading: Angus Fraser, "The Gypsies"; Isabel Fonseca, "Bury Me Standing."

I think this is nicer than the old stand by of “copying the README.md of another project” because that other project might not have some of these great sections, like: Acknowledgements API Reference Authors FAQ Features Logo Roadmap Usage/Examples Running Tests Note, these sections are listed in alphabetical order, not necessarily the right order for how they should go in your README.md Produces a markdown file you can copy or download Also an editor so you can edit right there.

Michael #2: Wafer-scale Python via Galen Swint Many new processors with the sole purpose of accelerating artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. Cerebras, a chip company, built an AI-oriented chip that is 12”x12” (30cm^2) with 850,000 AI cores on board. Another way to look at it is that’s 2.6T transistors vs. my M1’s 0.0016T. Built through TSMC, as so many things seem to be these days. What’s the Python angle here? A key to the design is the custom graph compiler, that takes PyTorch or TensorFlow and maps each layer to a physical part of the chip, allowing for asynchronous compute as the data flows through. Shipping soon for just $3M+. Marlene #3: RAPIDS This is the library I’m currently working on at NVIDIA. I work specifically on CuDF which is a Python GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and manipulating tabular data using a DataFrame style API. It mirrors the Pandas API but operations are done on the GPU I gave a talk at PyCon Sweden a few months ago called ‘A Beginners Guide to GPU’s for Pythonista’s’. Here’s an example of how long it takes for pandas vs. cudf to calculate the mean of a group of numbers in a column in a DataFrame: #we'll be calculating the mean of the data in a dataframe (table) import cudf import pandas as pd import numpy as np import time #lets create a data frame using pandas, that has two columns, a and b #we're generating a dataframe where each column contains one hundred million rows #each row is filled with a random integer that can be between 0 to one hundred million pandas_df = pd.DataFrame({"a": np.random.randint(0, 100000000, size=100000000), "b": np.random.randint(0, 100000000, size=100000000)}) #next we want to create a cudf version of this dataframe cudf_df = cudf.DataFrame.from_pandas(pandas_df) #now we'll use timeit to compare the time it takes to calculate the mean #of the numbers in the column "a" of the dataframe. #Lets time Pandas %timeit pandas_df.a.mean() #Lets time CuDF %timeit cudf_df.a.mean() #These were the results I got (might be a little slower if you're using the notebook on Colab) # pandas: 105 ms ± 298 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each) #cudf: 1.83 ms ± 4.51 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each) You can test this out for right now using the RAPIDS, GPU powered notebook for free on Google Colab. Brian #4: datefinder and dateutil Recommended by Ira Horecka Great calmcode.io video on datefinder Neat use of comprehensions to explore sending a bunch of data into a tool: import datefinder date_strings = [ "March 12 2010", "2010-03-12", "03/12/2010 12:42:12" ] [list(datefinder.find_dates(d)) for d in date_strings] # [[datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 0, 0)], # [datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 0, 0)], # [datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 12, 42, 12)]] Nice focused library, used by 662 projects, according to GitHub datefinder finds dates in strings, then uses dateutil to parse them into datetime objects. dateutil is actually kind of amazing also, great for parsing date strings computing relative delas (next month, last week of the month, etc) relative deltas between date and/or datetimes amazing timezone support comprehensive test suite nice mix of both pytest and unittest. I’ll have to ask Paul Ganssle about that sometime. Michael #5: Cinder - Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython via Anthony Shaw Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython. They use a multi-process webserver architecture; the parent process starts, performs initialization work (e.g. loading code), and forks tens of worker processes to handle client requests. The overhead due to copy-on-write from reference counting long-lived objects turned out to be significant. They developed a solution called "immortal instances" to provide a way to opt-out objects from reference counting. "Shadowcode" or “shadow bytecode" is their inline caching implementation. It observes particular optimizable cases in the execution of generic Python opcodes and (for hot functions) dynamically replaces those opcodes with specialized versions. Eager coroutine evaluation: If a call to an async function is immediately awaited, we immediately execute the called function up to its first await. The Cinder JIT is a method-at-a-time custom JIT implemented in C++. And can achieve 1.5-4x speed improvements on many Python performance benchmarks. Strict modules is a few things rolled into one Static Python is an experimental bytecode compiler that makes use of type annotations to emit type-specialized and type-checked Python bytecode. Static Python plus Cinder JIT achieves 7x the performance of stock CPython on a typed version of the Richards benchmark. Marlene #6: PyCon US 2021 PyCon US starts today. Its the largest gathering of the Python community on earth! I’ll be hosting the Diversity and Inclusion Work Group Meet and Greet.

In this episode we talk to Zoé Samudzi. Dr. Samudzi has a PhD in Medical Sociology from the University of California, San Francisco. Her dissertation was about German colonialism, the Herero/Nama genocide, and the afterlife of that genocidal structure in the present. Her writing has appeared in Art in America, The New Republic, The New Inquiry, Jewish Currents, and other outlets. She is co-author of As Black as Resistance, which we spoke with her and co-author William C. Anderson back in 2018. In this conversation we talk about a range of topics related to settler colonialism and colonization in Africa, specifically in modern day Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Zoé shares with us some of the historical fights between European nation states, and European settlers in Southern Africa. She also shares a little bit of history on the Nama/Herero genocide and how it was utilized by the British to undermine the German Empire. Josh and Zoé explore the relationship between colonialism and fascism. And Zoé also shares some thoughts on the film Exterminate All The Brutes and challenges US exceptionalism in relationship to our analysis of settler colonialism and genocide. Finally, Zoé talks about museums as ongoing sites of colonial violence and we discuss this in relationship to the recent revelations about the U Penn museum and U Penn and Princeton’s use of the remains of Delisha and Tree Africa, two MOVE children killed in the 1985 bombing, whose remains were taken from their families without consent or notice. MOVE has an event scheduled for May 15th in recognition of the 36th Anniversary of the MOVE bombing. You can also see their press conference addressing U Penn. And there’s a petition for the repatriation of the remains of Tree and Delisha, and financial reparations to the affected families. Suggested readings from Zoé Samudzi: - Mobilizing Black Germany by Tiffany Florvil - The Problems of Genocide by Dirk Moses - Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay - The Brutish Museums by Dan Hicks - Multidirectional Memory by Michael Rothberg - Exterminate all the Brutes by Sven Lindqvist - Alabama in Africa by Andrew Zimmerman May is a really busy month for us, beyond this great conversation we have a number of other exciting new episodes planned. If you are able to become a patron of the show, you can do so for as little as $1 a month.

This post is full of gifts mom wants for Mother’s Day, but doesn’t even know she does! Did you know 40% of moms fake reactions to gifts they don’t like? Makes me wonder about all those poems I wrote when I was younger. She never used, “Interesting.” That’s code for, not my taste, but whatever you like. LOL! It’s no joke, mom doesn’t even know what she wants. This is a lot closer to the truth than not! In an appointment yesterday the aesthetician said, “I don’t even know what to do when I don’t have my kids or my boyfriend is doing something else.” Truth. Women often crave time for themselves but don’t know what to do when they have it. Gifts Mom Wants So when you ask her, she may not have an answer. While massages and facials are always a win, or a gift card for sushi (thanks, Dustin), these are also some of my favorites that she often won’t get for herself. She won’t necessarily splurge on the good stuff. You can spoil her. My Favorite Matcha Piquetea Give her (or yourself) something that is not only good for your health, burning fat, and immunity but feels like a treat. Listen, every day all year I promote matcha for health. But not any matcha, Piquetea, matcha. Let me explain the why behind matcha first. Consumed before workouts it boosts fat burning after interval training by 29%. No workout? Still a good idea as it boosts your resting metabolism by 24%. It offers the “alert” support of caffeine without the jitters and cortisol-tipping negative effects no midlife woman needs (thanks to L-theonine). It’s powerful antioxidant support (hello, radiant skin – that she may be missing in midlife) Why I'm Picky Why Piquetea specifically? Well, like happens with anything that product developers determine has become popular and has staying power, there’s a lot of competition out there. Unfortunately, it’s not screened and tested, definitely not quadruple-screened. So, you potentially drink toxins, mold, and pesticides with that daily habit you think is healthy. If you’re like me and you have two mugs daily, that’s just a hormone disruptor waiting to happen. And I know, when you choose the best you pay more. I do. But you’re either deciding to knowingly have something toxic or to use a safe (and in my opinion better tasting and performing) product. Until Mother’s Day 2021 (or until supplies last) for every $100 you spend you’ll get 5% off, free shipping, and a special 53-page “Bouquet of Teas” recipe book and card ($25 value) + Pique will donate $5 to “Every Mother Counts” with my LINK. Don’t forget to use my code at checkout! Of course, their other teas are great too. I sent my mom an assortment of herbal teas (she needs better hydration, and the woman does not need more caffeine)! She loved them. Yours will too. Even I, non-herbal tea drinker, enjoyed them. Gifts Mom Wants: RelaxUltima Seriously, ladies, this is for you. Get it, don’t wait. If you have real issues buying it for yourself, buy it for your husband for Father’s Day and use it yourself. Women tend to store their tension in their upper back and neck. There are so many causes of tension there: Purses Pregnancy weight shifts Carrying babies Carrying backpacks Keyboards Cold Breasts Poor posture Contemporary life Sure, not all of those are unique to women, but women also tend to have less strength in a certain muscle group called rhomboids. If they’re weak and not doing their job, the upper trapezius over fires when it shouldn’t. That sets off a cascade of things that can result in chronic tension, upper back pain or discomfort, and headaches. This tool is a-mazing. It’s light weight. It’s reasonably priced for a tens unit feature and it’s non-obtrusive: meaning for me at least I put it on while I’m at the keyboard in the morning and it helps me prevent the tension during the day. Using again later for another 15 minutes reduces built up tension from that same posture. Right now, for a very short time, I scored 15% off for you with my code: Flipping15 That’s only good through May 8, so you’ll be able to get the RelaxUltima any time (and it’s worth it) but the code is short term. https://www.flippingfifty.com/Relax USE: Flipping15 For 15% off your purchase May 1-8 You can watch this video to see how light and how easy to use! Their delivery is fast (I got mine in 2 days!) but to make sure she (or you) get it, order soon. What I’d do if it hasn’t arrived is take a screen shot and wrap it up! Moms carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Whether you’re the black sheep or the favorite (or both… and that’s for my brother, you know who you are), give her the gift she’ll love!

Math circles defy simple narratives. The model was introduced a century ago, and is taking off in the present day thanks in part to its congruence with cutting-edge research in mathematics education. It is a modern approach to teaching—or facilitation—that resonates and finds mutual reinforcement with traditional practices and cultural preservation efforts. A wide range of math circle resources have become available for interested instructors, including the MSRI Math Circles Library, now in its 14th year of publication by the AMS. I was excited to talk with three editors and contributors to a recent volume in the series, Inspiring Mathematics: Lessons from the Navajo Nation Math Circles (American Mathematical, 2019). Drs. Dave Auckly, Amanda Serenevy, and Henry Fowler have been instrumental to the Navajo Nation Math Circles Project, along with co-editors Tatiana Shubin and Bob Klein and a broader contact and support network. Their book showcases scripts developed and facilitated in Navajo Nation, including an introduction to modular arithmetic through bean bag tossing, prefix sorting in the guise of pancake flipping, and a tactile use of limiting behavior to folding a necktie. We discussed the origin and expansion of math circles, their potential to indigenous mathematics educators and students, and the content of and stories behind a selection of the scripts. Dr. Fowler's foreword and the editors' introduction situate the math circles movement and the Navajo Nation Math Circles Project in history, geography, and culture. Each script begins with a (minimal!) list of the necessary materials and a student handout that invites explorations with them. A short survey of connections to deeper mathematics precedes each handout, and each is followed by an extensive teacher's guide with (illustrative) solutions and presentation suggestions. The scripts vary in complexity and are suitable for student- and teacher-focused math circles. I hope the text becomes widely adopted for science-based and culturally conscious mathematics education and helps introduce others like myself to the greater math circles project.

Community powers NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter: DEVELOPERS AROUND THE WORLD CONTRIBUTE TO HISTORIC FLIGHT: https://github.com/readme/nasa-ingenuity-helicopter The Drone/Helicopter flight control software is called F’ (pronounced f-prime, sounds like Python f’strings :).

Make sure you have Python and pip installed. https://github.com/nasa/fprime Brian #4: Pydantic, FastAPI, Typer will all run on 3.10, 3.11, and into the future suggested by an Angry Dwarf It’s a bit of an emotional roller coaster this last week even for those of us on the sidelines watching. I’m sure it was even more so for those involved. Short version: Pydantic, FastAPI, Typer, etc will continue to run as is in 3.10 Minor changes might be necessary in 3.11, but most likely all of us bystanders and users of these packages won’t even see the change, or we will be given specific instructions on what we need to change well ahead of time. If things change in 3.11, your code might still work fine, and you can test that today if you are worried about it. All project leads are involved and talking with the Steering Council. The Steering Council has all of our interests and Pythons in mind and wants to make improvements to Python in a sane way. So don’t freak out. Smart and kind people are involved and know what they are doing. Slightly more detail that I don’t really want to read, and summarized to my perspective: Something about an existing PEP 563, titled Postponed Evaluation of Annotations It was part of 3.7 and it included: “In Python 3.10, function and variable annotations will no longer be evaluated at definition time. Instead, …” This would have implications on Pydantic and projects using it and similar methods, like FastAPI, Typer, … Panic ensues, people wringing their hands, bystanders confused. BTW, the Python steering council knows what they are doing and is aware of all of this already. But lots of people jumped on the bandwagon anyway and freaked out. Even I was thinking “Ugh. I use Typer and FastAPI, can I still use them in 3.10?” Luckily, Sebastian Ramirez posted: I've seen some incorrect conclusions that FastAPI and pydantic "can't be used with Python 3.10". Let's clear that up. In the worst-case scenario (which hasn't been decided), some corner cases would not work and require small refactors. And also if you are worried about the future and your own use as is, you can use from __future__ import annotations to try the new system out. Also thanks Sebastian Then there is this message by Thomas Wouters about PEP 563 and 3.10 “The Steering Council has considered the issue carefully, along with many of the proposed alternatives and solutions, and we’ve decided that at this point, we simply can’t risk the compatibility breakage of PEP 563. We need to roll back the change that made stringified annotations the default, at least for 3.10. (Pablo is already working on this.) “To be clear, we are not reverting PEP 563 itself. The future import will keep working like it did since Python 3.7. We’re delaying making PEP 563 string-based annotations the default until Python 3.11. This will give us time to find a solution that works for everyone (or to find a feasible upgrade path for users who currently rely on evaluated annotations). Some considerations that led us to this decision: …” Michael #5: Extra, Extra, Extra, Extra hear all about it No social trackers on Python Bytes or Talk Python. Python packages on Mars More Mars NordVPN and “going dark” Nobody wants anything to do with Google's new tracking mechanism FLoC (Android Police, Ars Technica). From EFF: Google’s pitch to privacy advocates is that a world with FLoC will be better than the world we have today, where data brokers and ad-tech giants track and profile with impunity. But that framing is based on a false premise that we have to choose between “old tracking” and “new tracking.” It’s not either-or. Instead of re-inventing the tracking wheel, we should imagine a better world without the myriad problems of targeted ads. Peter #6: Build Python books with Jupyter-Book There are many static site generators for Python: Sphinx, Pelican, MkDocs… Jupyter-Book is a static site generator that makes online books from Jupyter notebooks and markdown files. See the Jupyter-book docs. Books can be published on GitHub pages and there is a GitHub action to automatically re-publish your book with each git push. A gallery of Jupyter-books includes: Geographic Data Science with Python, Quantitative Economics with Python, the UW Data Visualization Curriculum, and a book on Algorithms for Automated Driving. All the books are free an online. Extras Brian 2021 South African Pycon, PyConZA - https://za.pycon.org/. The conference will be on 7 and 8 October entirely online deadpendency update .

Or even just running coverage run -m pytest with no --source specified, it just kinda reports on everything, even stuff in site-packages, not just your code. Solution pip install coverage==5.6b1 As of 5.6b1, coverage knows where third party code is and doesn’t measure it. Super awesome Also, it’s still beta. Net wants help testing it out and making sure it works right. I’m curious if it still works right with pytest plugins and such, so I’ll be testing a bunch of stuff to make sure it still makes sense. Michael #2: So you want your own PaaS? Piku! via Ian Mauer The tiniest PaaS you've ever seen. Piku allows you to do git push deployments to your own servers. Allows you do git push deployments to your own servers. Motivation: I kept finding myself wanting an Heroku/CloudFoundry-like way to deploy stuff on a few remote ARM boards and my Raspberry Pi cluster Core values Runs on low end devices. Accessible to hobbyists and K-12 schools. ~1,000 lines readable code. Functional code style. Few (single?) dependencies 12 factor app. Simplify user experience. Cover 80% of common use cases. Sensible defaults. Leverage distro packages in Raspbian/Debian/Ubuntu (Alpine and RHEL support is WIP) Leverage standard tooling (git, ssh, uwsgi, nginx).

Deadpendency is a similar thing, but tells you about the health of the packages you depend on. It’s a GitHub app that runs on PRs and commits. Let’s say someone has a PR that adds a dependency. The PR checks will include a health check of the new dependency. What’s more, on each commit or PR, all of your dependencies will be checked. Checks for: no recent releases (warn at 18 months, fail at 24 months) no recent commits (warn at 12 months, fail at 18 months) few yearly commits (warn at 2) archived repository (fail) repository is a fork (warn) package deprecated (fail) single recent author (warn) Everything is configurable Temporary problems: only supports requirements.txt and Pipfile, for Python Kinda need it to support pyproject.toml, maybe setup.py I’d like to be able to just run this on a project without having to have a commit or push trigger it, to try it out. I’ve got some CI tools that allow that. Maybe it’s common for them to not. not sure. Also be neat if: it did the snyk checks for at least security and maintenance on the dependency. Not just release and commit frequency. Bottom line: Neat idea.
