As shared in a sibling comment, you can get away with just curl+shell: https://paulw.tokyo/standalone-python-script-with-uv/

And with some small shebang trick, you don't even need to have uv installed [1], just curl and a posix shell

> threatening to start a new trade war if the EU doesn't permit their murdermobiles on the European roads

The strange part is that those car can be sold in the EU markets already. They just have to comply with the same pollution and safety standards as other cars. What would justify an exception?

> mostly because it's the scripting language of choice for PyTorch and AI-adjacent libraries/tooling/frameworks

I would politely disagree. Torch started in Lua, and switched to Python because of its already soaring popularity. Whatever drove Python's growth predates modern AI frameworks

Very much a side note, but:

> my feeling is that I’d still reach for it if my hands are really physically hurting, and I need to keep working. Usually once I reach the point where I’ve got blisters on my fingers I think it’s better to just take a break

I'm dumbfounded, and impressed in an unhealthy way. Do some of you regularly type so much that you develop blisters?

Hi Bryant, I'm quite interested in the senior software engineer role in the applied AI team!

On your job board I'm seeing slightly different infos about the location requirement. Can you clarify if the role is globally remote or US only?

Uv's support of inline metadata is super handy. What if the person running the scripts doesn't have uv yet though? For fun I wrote a double shebang script that will handle that too: https://paulw.tokyo/standalone-python-script-with-uv/

Yeah langchain is not necessary for this. The author appear not to have shared his code yet (too bad, the visualizations are nice!), but as a poor replacement I can share mine from over a year ago:

https://github.com/m3at/hn_jobs_gpt_etl

Only using the plain OpenAI api. This was on GPT-3.5, but it should be easy to move to 4o and make use of the json mode. I might try a quick update this weekend

Two of the most popular libraries for token creation (tokenization) are in fact in rust, with an interface in python:

I agree for pianos, because the mechanical feedback is part of what makes playing enjoyable.

I'm not as sure for keyboards in VR! There has been a lot of research on non-invasive brain computer interface (BCI), including predictive systems that guess what you want to type, instead of where you're actually typing (example from 8y ago [1]).

Simpler gesture recognition is already on the market (like this one, from 2020, for the apple watch [2]). And now bigger VR players are investing in the tech [3]. I expect useful brain interface to be integrated in common VR devices in a couple of generations.

For others that were confused by the Gemini versions: the main one being discussed is Gemini Ultra (which is claimed to beat GPT-4). The one available through Bard is Gemini Pro.

For the differences, looking at the technical report [1] on selected benchmarks, rounded score in %:

Dataset | Gemini Ultra | Gemini Pro | GPT-4

MMLU | 90 | 79 | 87

BIG-Bench-Hard | 84 | 75 | 83

HellaSwag | 88 | 85 | 95

Natural2Code | 75 | 70 | 74

WMT23 | 74 | 72 | 74

I thought so too but no, Gemini _Ultra_ is supposed to beat GPT-4. The one available through Bard is Gemini Pro. The wording sure is confusing!
