Today, we're joined by Jacob Buckman, co-founder and CEO of Manifest AI to discuss achieving long context in transformers. We discuss the bottlenecks of scaling context length and recent techniques to overcome them, including windowed attention, grouped query attention, and latent space attention. We explore the idea of weight-state balance and the weight-state FLOP ratio as a way of reasoning about the optimality of compute architectures, and we dig into the Power Retention architecture, which blends the parallelization of attention with the linear scaling of recurrence and promises speedups of >10x during training and >100x during inference. We review Manifest AI's recent open source projects as well: Vidrial—a custom CUDA framework for building highly optimized GPU kernels in Python, and PowerCoder—a 3B-parameter coding model fine-tuned from StarCoder to use power retention. Our chat also covers the use of metrics like in-context learning curves and negative log likelihood to measure context utility, the implications of scaling laws, and the future of long context lengths in AI applications.

Enterprises are significantly increasing their investments in AI governance as the risks associated with artificial intelligence become more apparent. A recent report indicates that 98% of organizations plan to boost their governance budgets in the coming financial year, with an average expected increase of 24%. This shift highlights the realization that managing AI is not a plug-and-play solution; organizations must establish multiple lines of defense to handle risks effectively. As AI technologies evolve, refining governance will be an ongoing process, especially as companies face incidents that could lead to substantial financial losses.Public cloud spending is projected to increase dramatically, primarily driven by generative AI workloads. A survey reveals that nearly half of IT leaders expect more than 30% of their cloud budgets to be allocated to generative AI in the coming years. This rapid adoption of generative AI applications necessitates improved cloud cost management strategies, as enterprises brace for higher infrastructure costs. Analysts warn that the financial models supporting this AI boom, particularly for companies like Oracle, which may need to borrow significantly to meet obligations, raise concerns about sustainability.Despite fears of job losses due to AI, a study from Yale University indicates that generative AI has not yet significantly disrupted the job market. The research shows only a slight change in the occupational mix since the launch of ChatGPT, with hiring in the tech sector remaining steady. A significant portion of tech employers plan to hire, particularly for roles related to AI, indicating that the demand for skills like Python and project management is driving this trend. The study suggests that while generative AI has transformative potential, it is too early to assess its long-term effects on employment.In a notable industry development, Huntress has partnered with SureWeb to expand its cybersecurity solutions, marking its first distribution deal. This collaboration allows Huntress's products to be available in the SureWeb marketplace, enhancing security offerings for managed service providers across various regions. The partnership emphasizes the importance of relationships over transactions, contrasting with larger marketplaces. This move reflects a growing trend where vendors prioritize community-focused partnerships, providing opportunities for service providers to access quality cybersecurity solutions while navigating the evolving landscape of AI and technology.Four things to know today 00:00 AI's Hidden Cost: Governance Budgets Up, Cloud Bills Soar, and Debt Piles High Behind the Boom05:25 Government Shutdown and Policy Turmoil, Not AI, Emerging as Real Threats to U.S. Employment10:17 Pax8's “Managed Intelligence” Push Highlights Growing Tension Between AI Hype and MSP Readiness13:28 Huntress and Sherweb Redefine Channel Strategy with Relationship-First Distribution Model This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorshiphttps://www.auvik.com/              Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

On-Device AI Agents in Production: Privacy, Performance, and Scale // MLOps Podcast #340 with NimbleEdge's Varun Khare, Founder/CEO and Neeraj Poddar, Co-founder & CTO.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractAI agents are transitioning from experimental stages to performing real work in production; however, they have largely been limited to backend task automation. A critical frontier in this evolution is the on-device AI agent, enabling sophisticated, AI-native experiences directly on mobile and embedded devices. While cloud-based AI faces challenges like constant connectivity demands, increased latency, privacy risks, and high operational costs, on-device breaks through these trade-offs.We'll delve into the practical side of building and deploying AI agents with “DeliteAI”, an open-source on-device AI agentic framework. We'll explore how lightweight Python runtimes facilitate the seamless orchestration of end-to-end workflows directly on devices, allowing AI/ML teams to define data preprocessing, feature computation, model execution, and post-processing logic independently of frontend code. This architecture empowers agents to adapt to varying tasks and user contexts through an ecosystem of tools natively supported on Android/iOS platforms, handling all the permissions, model lifecycles, and many more.// BioVarun KhareVarun is the Founder and CEO of NimbleEdge, an AI startup pioneering privacy-first, on-device intelligence.

English is now an API. Our apps read untrusted text; they follow instructions hidden in plain sight, and sometimes they turn that text into action. If you connect a model to tools or let it read documents from the wild, you have created a brand new attack surface. In this episode, we will make that concrete. We will talk about the attacks teams are seeing in 2025, the defenses that actually work, and how to test those defenses the same way we test code. Our guides are Tori Westerhoff and Roman Lutz from Microsoft. They help lead AI red teaming and build PyRIT, a Python framework the Microsoft AI Red Team uses to pressure test real products. By the end of this hour you will know where the biggest risks live, what you can ship this quarter to reduce them, and how PyRIT can turn security from a one time audit into an everyday engineering practice.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: PostgreSQL 18 Released PostgreSQL 18 is out (Sep 25, 2025) with a focus on faster text handling, async I/O, and easier upgrades. New async I/O subsystem speeds sequential scans, bitmap heap scans, and vacuum by issuing concurrent reads instead of blocking on each request. Major-version upgrades are smoother: pg_upgrade retains planner stats, adds parallel checks via -jobs, and supports faster cutovers with -swap. Smarter query performance lands with skip scans on multicolumn B-tree indexes, better OR optimization, incremental-sort merge joins, and parallel GIN index builds. Dev quality-of-life: virtual generated columns enabled by default, a uuidv7() generator for time-ordered IDs, and RETURNING can expose both OLD and NEW. Security gets an upgrade with native OAuth 2.0 authentication; MD5 password auth is deprecated and TLS controls expand. Text operations get a boost via the new PG_UNICODE_FAST collation, faster upper/lower, a casefold() helper, and clearer collation behavior for LIKE/FTS. Brian #2: Testing is better than DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) Ned Batchelder If you need to grind through DSA problems to get your first job, then of course, do that, but if you want to prepare yourself for a career, and also stand out in job interviews, learn how to write tests. Testing is a skill you'll use constantly, will make you stand out in job interviews, and isn't taught well in school (usually). Testing code well is not obvious. It's a puzzle and a problem to solve. It gives you confidence and helps you write better code. Applies everywhere, at all levels. Notes from Brian Most devs suck at testing, so being good at it helps you stand out very quickly. Thinking about a system and how to test it often very quickly shines a spotlight on problem areas, parts with not enough specification, and fuzzy requirements. This is a good thing, and bringing up these topics helps you to become a super valuable team member. High level tests need to be understood by key engineers on a project. Even if tons of the code is AI generated. Even if many of the tests are, the people understanding the requirements and the high level tests are quite valuable. Michael #3: Pyrefly in Cursor/PyCharm/VSCode/etc Install the VSCode/Cursor extension or PyCharm plugin, see https://pyrefly.org/en/docs/IDE/ Brian spoke about Pyrefly in #433: Dev in the Arena I've subsequently had the team on Talk Python: #523: Pyrefly: Fast, IDE-friendly typing for Python (podcast version coming in a few weeks, see video for now.) My experience has been Pyrefly changes the feel of the editor, give it a try. But disable the regular language server extension. Brian #4: Playwright & pytest techniques that bring me joy Tim Shilling “I've been working with playwright more often to do end to end tests. As a project grows to do more with HTMX and Alpine in the markup, there's less unit and integration test coverage and a greater need for end to end tests.” Tim covers some cool E2E techniques Open new pages / tabs to be tested Using a pytest marker to identify playwright tests Using a pytest marker in place of fixtures Using page.pause() and Playwright's debugging tool Using assert_axe_violations to prevent accessibility regressions Using page.expect_response() to confirm a background request occurred From Brian Again, with more and more lower level code being generated, and many unit tests being generated (shakes head in sadness), there's an increased need for high level tests. Don't forget API tests, obviously, but if there's a web interface, it's gotta be tested. Especially if the primary user experience is the web interface, building your Playwright testing chops helps you stand out and let's you test a whole lot of your system with not very many tests. Extras Brian: Big O - By Sam Who Yes, take Ned's advice and don't focus so much on DSA, focus also on learning to test. However, one topic you should be comfortable with in algortithm-land is Big O, at least enough to have a gut feel for it. And this article is really good enough for most people. Great graphics, demos, visuals. As usual, great content from Sam Who, and a must read for all serious devs. Python 3.14.0rc3 has been available since Sept 18. Python 3.14.0 final scheduled for Oct 7 Django 6.0 alpha 1 released Django 6.0 final scheduled for Dec 3 Python Test Static hosting update Some interesting discussions around setting up my own server, but this seems like it might be yak shaving procrastination research when I really should be writing or coding. So I'm holding off until I get some writing projects and a couple SaaS projects further along. Joke: Always be backing up

Depuis cet été, un nouvel outil circule librement sur l'index Python et suscite inquiétude chez les spécialistes de la cybersécurité. Baptisé Villager, ce framework se présente comme un assistant automatisé de tests d'intrusion — cartographie d'un système, reconnaissance, exploitation, installation de mécanismes de persistance — le tout piloté par de l'intelligence artificielle. Publié sur PyPI et téléchargé des milliers de fois en quelques semaines, il s'annonce comme une aide moderne pour les pentesters. Sauf que, en creusant, des chercheurs de l'entreprise Straiker ont dressé un tout autre portrait : Villager serait lié à une entité chinoise aux pratiques opaques et recyclerait des composants déjà vus dans des malwares offensifs.Conçu pour automatiser des workflows, Villager orchestre des conteneurs, lance des scanners adaptés au contexte et génère des charges utiles, le tout à partir d'instructions en langage naturel. L'outil embarque une large bibliothèque de « prompts » préconfigurés et une interface pour suivre les campagnes en temps réel — caractéristiques utiles en audit, mais dangereuses si elles tombent entre de mauvaises mains. Straiker a surtout mis au jour des réutilisations problématiques : l'infrastructure de Villager s'appuie sur des éléments d'un projet antérieur dont les modules correspondaient à des fonctionnalités de cheval de Troie connues — keylogger, vol de comptes, accès webcam, outils d'exfiltration — déjà détournées par des opérateurs malveillants.L'autre inquiétude tient à la voie de diffusion. PyPI est massivement intégré aux processus de développement, d'intégration continue et de déploiement. Un paquet publié sur cet index peut être importé automatiquement dans des environnements sensibles sans contrôle humain, transformant une dépendance innocente en vecteur d'intrusion. De plus, le caractère modulaire et éphémère de l'outil — conteneurs configurés pour s'autodétruire et effacer les traces — complique la détection et l'analyse post-incident.Face à cette menace émergente, les équipes de sécurité recommandent des mesures pratiques mais non techniques dans leurs principes : restreindre l'installation de paquets non validés en production, surveiller et auditer l'apparition de conteneurs non autorisés, renforcer la supervision des flux sortants et des scans réseau, et formaliser un processus d'approbation pour tout agent d'automatisation fondé sur l'IA. Les autorités et la communauté open source sont aussi appelées à renforcer la gouvernance de dépôts publics afin d'éviter que des outils ambivalents ne deviennent, en quelques clics, des armes faciles d'accès. Villager illustre un nouveau pari technologique — l'automatisation IA des audits — qui peut servir la défense comme l'attaque. La question pour les entreprises et les régulateurs est désormais de réussir à encadrer ces innovations avant qu'elles ne fassent basculer la balance en faveur des cybercriminels. Hébergé par Acast.

A couple years ago, Charlie Marsh lit a fire under Python tooling with Ruff and then uv. Today he's back with something on the other side of that coin: pyx. Pyx isn't a PyPI replacement. Think server, not just index. It mirrors PyPI, plays fine with pip or uv, and aims to make installs fast and predictable by letting a smart client talk to a smart server. When the client and server understand each other, you get new fast paths, fewer edge cases, and the kind of reliability teams beg for. If Python packaging has felt like friction, this conversation is traction. Let's get into it.

Send us a textThe day after the FOMC's first rate cut of 2025, we sat down with Matt Hornbach, Global Head of Macro Strategy at Morgan Stanley, to unpack what the decision really meant, and what the markets maybe got wrong on first read. Matt talks about the shifting dissenters, how updates to the Summary of Economic Projections present a more complicated picture for the future path of rate cuts, and why Powell's tone at the presser felt at odds with the statement itself.We also dig into the Fed's often-misunderstood, rarely referenced “third mandate” (moderate long-term rates), the limits of yield curve “engineering,” and the crucial point that U.S. mortgage rates don't simply follow 30-year Treasury yields. We dive into Matt's favored yield-curve steepener, going into the details of preferred expressions optimized for minimal cost of carry. Beyond rates, he explains why he expects further USD depreciation and gives us a rates-based framework to understand what sometimes feels like puzzling strength in the equities market. This episode is also our “Fixed Income Strategy 101” primer, where we cover: what macro/fixed-income strategy teams actually do, how they partner with sales & trading and clients, the difference between research/strategy/desk strategy, the top skills hiring managers look for (hint: learn Python), and common exit paths. Matthew Hornbach is a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, Global Head of Macro Strategy, and one of nine members of the Global Investment Committee for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. With support from his team, Matthew received the most individual or firm votes in the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Institutional Investor Global Fixed-Income Research poll across all analysts across all Economics & Strategy categories.Matthew began his career at Morgan Stanley in June 2000. He joined as a Japanese Government Bond (JGB) trader in Tokyo, then became a yen interest rate strategist. Matthew moved to New York in 2004 to make markets in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). He returned to Tokyo in 2006 to develop the US Agency MBS Pass-throughs business in Asia. In 2012, Matthew returned to New York as Head of U.S. Rates Strategy and became the Global Head of Rates Strategy shortly thereafter. Just prior to his 20th year at Morgan Stanley, he became Global Head of Macro Strategy. He oversees teams of developed and emerging market rates and FX strategists in New York, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.Matthew holds a BA degree in economics from Vassar College and a Certificate of ManaFor a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

In this episode - I interview British Strength coach Alex Miller, who shares insights from his journey working with Kabuki Strength and Chris Duffin and developing the first ever AI App for strength coaching mechanics.

Alex is a coach, strength scientist, and systems architect whose work combines biomechanics, physiology, and adaptive programming. Drawing on models of fatigue from Noakes, Marcora, and Enoka, he develops falsifiable, stress-indexed frameworks for training that have been applied to multiple world-record level athletes.He is the mind behind LiftLab, a platform that unifies neuromechanical profiling, force-vector taxonomy, and autoregulation with real-time data from velocity tracking and pose estimation. He also develops CueUp, an open-source Python engine for automated exercise analysis and program generation. Grounded in critical rationalism, his work treats every prescription as a testable hypothesis, bridging sports science, philosophy, and engineering to advance evidence-driven strength training.The conversation emphasizes the importance of sleep, simple nutrition, and foundational fitness, while also highlighting the value of critical thinking and continuous learning in the fitness industry. Alex also introduces upcoming educational resources for coaches and athletes - we also spoke about- Conditioning for First RespondersPhysical Preparedness: Mental toughness is crucial, but physical readiness is non-negotiable for roles like firefighters and police officers.Sustainable Training: Simple, consistent cardio and strength training can significantly improve performance without overwhelming busy schedules.Lifestyle Factors: Quality sleep and proper nutrition are foundational for enhancing physical capacity and overall well-being.Skool Platform: A fantastic resource for educational content and community support, spearheaded by World Record Holder Chris Duffin.Monthly Books: Upcoming releases packed with practical information, like power training for athletes over 40 and innovative uses of blood flow restriction (BFR) training.I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to dive into the full episode. Alex's journey and insights are truly inspiring, and there's so much more to explore in our conversation.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit an earlier conversation—this time through the lens of AI—to explore how constructive communication in software development creates healthier teams and better code. By analyzing their original “Advocating vs. Arguing” discussion, they uncover new ways to transform conflict into collaboration. “The goal is never to win. The goal is to find the best solution.” – Rob Broadhead What Constructive Communication Really Means Rob draws a clear line between two mindsets: Constructive communication invites evidence, empathy, and openness. Defensive arguing focuses on winning, often shutting down valuable ideas. This subtle difference determines whether a team works together to solve problems or gets stuck in endless debates. Why Constructive Communication Improves Software Development Software projects depend on diverse skills and experiences. When team members communicate constructively: Blind spots shrink. Different perspectives uncover hidden issues. Technical debt decreases. Shared understanding prevents costly rework. Client trust grows. Positive dialogue strengthens long-term relationships. Rob highlights how even an outsider's insight—like a .NET developer's idea on a Python project—can spark innovative solutions. Practical Steps to Encourage Constructive Communication Michael offers proven techniques to keep discussions positive and productive: Ask clarifying questions. Instead of “That won't work,” try “How do you see that working in this context?” Restate what you heard. Confirm understanding before you respond. Stay curious. Open-ended questions invite deeper exploration. “No is a conversation killer. Replace it with ‘Let's consider that.'” – Michael Meloche Spotting When Communication Turns Unproductive Arguments often start subtly. Watch for these warning signs: Absolutes such as “always” or “never.” Interrupting or talking over teammates. Ego-driven choices that ignore user needs or project goals. Rob recommends slowing the pace when tempers rise—pause the meeting, schedule a follow-up, or ask everyone to write down their thoughts before reconvening. Agile Practices Support Constructive Communication Rob and Michael agree that Agile's built-in rituals—backlog refinement, iterative feedback, and sprint reviews—naturally encourage constructive communication in software development. If a team frequently argues, it may be skipping these essential steps. Michael also suggests a weekly “water-cooler” session where team members share new ideas or lessons learned. These informal gatherings nurture creativity and trust. Leadership Sets the Tone Managers and leads can reinforce constructive habits by: Checking in with teammates who seem defensive or frustrated. Offering mentoring or personal support when tension surfaces. Encouraging team traditions—from inside jokes to shared hobbies—that build rapport. Rob observes that the best teams always share a unique bond, whether it's dad jokes or a favorite game, which helps them weather stressful moments. Reader Challenge: Practice Constructive Communication This Week Your Mission: Over the next seven days, pick one team interaction—a stand-up, code review, or planning meeting—and intentionally practice constructive communication in software development. Steps to Try: Listen First. Before offering your idea, restate someone else's point to confirm understanding. Replace “No” with Curiosity. When you disagree, ask an open question like “How do you see that working with our current sprint goals?” Log the Outcome. After the meeting, jot down what changed: Did the discussion stay more positive? Did new solutions surface? Share your results with your team—or even comment on the blog post—to inspire others. Challenge yourself: Can you turn at least one potential argument into a moment of advocacy this week? Key Takeaway: Build a Culture of Constructive Communication This episode underscores that constructive communication in software development is more than a soft skill—it's a project-saver. By listening first, asking better questions, and validating every voice, teams can replace conflict with collaboration and move projects forward with confidence. “Choosing one approach together is better than arguing endlessly about the perfect one.” – Rob Broadhead Whether you're leading a sprint, conducting a code review, or gathering requirements, focusing on constructive communication ensures that every idea is heard—and the best solutions rise to the top.

Stand in Boldness – An Acts 4 Response | KIB 497 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing YouTube Description In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share deep insights on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, its spiritual implications, and what it means for the Body of Christ in these prophetic days. This discussion explores martyrdom in the last days, spiritual strongholds, the role of Leviathan, Jezebel, and Python in twisting truth, and the need for believers to stand in boldness and prayer. The Lakes also draw parallels between Stephen's martyrdom in Acts and today's events, encouraging the remnant to seek God's direction, refuse fear, and be instruments of revival.

Michael #1: Mozilla's Lifeline is Safe After Judge's Google Antitrust Ruling A judge lets Google keep paying Mozilla to make Google the default search engine but only if those deals aren't exclusive. More than 85% of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google search payments. The ruling forbids Google from making exclusive contracts for Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, or Gemini, and forces data sharing and search syndication so rivals get a fighting chance. Brian #2: troml - suggests or fills in trove classifiers for your projects Adam Hill This is super cool and so welcome. Trove Classifiers are things like Programming Language :: Python :: 3.14 that allow for some fun stuff to show up in PyPI, like the versions you support, etc. Note that just saying you require 3.9+ doesn't tell the user that you've actually tested stuff on 3.14. I like to keep Trove Classifiers around for this reason. Also, License classifier is deprecated, and if you include it, it shows up in two places, in Meta, and in the Classifiers section. Probably good to only have one place. So I'm going to be removing it from classifiers for my projects. One problem, classifier text has to be an exact match to something in the classifier list, so we usually recommend copy/pasting from that list. But no longer! Just use troml! It just fills it in for you (if you run troml suggest --fix). How totally awesome is that! I tried it on pytest-check, and it was mostly right. It suggested me adding 3.15, which I haven't tested yet, so I'm not ready to add that just yet. :) BTW, I talked with Brett Cannon about classifiers back in ‘23 if you want some more in depth info on trove classifiers. Michael #3: pqrs: Command line tool for inspecting Parquet files pqrs is a command line tool for inspecting Parquet files This is a replacement for the parquet-tools utility written in Rust Built using the Rust implementation of Parquet and Arrow pqrs roughly means "parquet-tools in rust" Why Parquet? Size A 200 MB CSV will usually shrink to somewhere between about 20-100 MB as Parquet depending on the data and compression. Loading a Parquet file is typically several times faster than parsing CSV, often 2x-10x faster for a full-file load and much faster when you only read some columns. Speed Full-file load into pandas: Parquet with pyarrow/fastparquet is usually 2x–10x faster than reading CSV with pandas because CSV parsing is CPU intensive (text tokenizing, dtype inference). Example: if read_csv is 10 seconds, read_parquet might be ~1–5 seconds depending on CPU and codec. Column subset: Parquet is much faster if you only need some columns — often 5x–50x faster because it reads only those column chunks. Predicate pushdown & row groups: When using dataset APIs (pyarrow.dataset) you can push filters to skip row groups, reducing I/O dramatically for selective queries. Memory usage: Parquet avoids temporary string buffers and repeated parsing, so peak memory and temporary allocations are often lower. Brian #4: Testing for Python 3.14 Python 3.14 is just around the corner, with a final release scheduled for October. What's new in Python 3.14 Python 3.14 release schedule Adding 3.14 to your CI tests in GitHub Actions Add “3.14” and optionally “3.14t” for freethreaded Add the line allow-prereleases: true I got stuck on this, and asked folks on Mastdon and Bluesky A couple folks suggested the allow-prereleases: true step. Thank you! Ed Rogers also suggested Hugo's article Free-threaded Python on GitHub Actions, which I had read and forgot about. Thanks Ed! And thanks Hugo!

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: prek Suggested by Owen Lamont “prek is a reimagined version of pre-commit, built in Rust. It is designed to be a faster, dependency-free and drop-in alternative for it, while also providing some additional long-requested features.” Some cool new features No need to install Python or any other runtime, just download a single binary. No hassle with your Python version or virtual environments, prek automatically installs the required Python version and creates a virtual environment for you. Built-in support for workspaces (or monorepos), each subproject can have its own .pre-commit-config.yaml file. prek run has some nifty improvements over pre-commit run, such as: prek run --directory DIR runs hooks for files in the specified directory, no need to use git ls-files -- DIR | xargs pre-commit run --files anymore. prek run --last-commit runs hooks for files changed in the last commit. prek run [HOOK] [HOOK] selects and runs multiple hooks. prek list command lists all available hooks, their ids, and descriptions, providing a better overview of the configured hooks. prek provides shell completions for prek run HOOK_ID command, making it easier to run specific hooks without remembering their ids. Faster: Setup from cold cache is significantly faster. Viet Schiele provided a nice cache clearing command line Warm cache run is also faster, but less significant. pytest repo tested on my mac mini - prek 3.6 seconds, pre-commit 4.4 seconds Michael #2: tinyio Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? A tiny (~300 lines) event loop for Python. tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio. (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong. (Raising an exception in every coroutine so it can clean up its resources.) Interestingly uses yield rather than await. Brian #3: The power of Python's print function Trey Hunner Several features I'm guilty of ignoring Multiple arguments, f-string embeddings often not needed Multiple positional arguments means you can unpack iterables right into print arguments So just use print instead of join Custom separator value, sep can be passed in No need for "print("n".join(stuff)), just use print(stuff, sep="n”) Print to file with file= Custom end value with end= You can turn on flush with flush=True , super helpful for realtime logging / debugging. This one I do use frequently. Michael #4: Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database By Emily Forlini An app-building platform's AI went rogue and deleted a database without permission. "When it works, it's so engaging and fun. It's more addictive than any video game I've ever played. You can just iterate, iterate, and see your vision come alive. So cool," he tweeted on day five. A few days later, Replit "deleted my database," Lemkin tweeted. The AI's response: "Yes. I deleted the entire codebase without permission during an active code and action freeze," it said. "I made a catastrophic error in judgment [and] panicked.” Two thoughts from Michael: Do not use AI Agents with “Run Everything” in production, period. Backup your database maybe? [Intentional off-by-one error] Learn to code a bit too?
