If my M1 MBP dies, this is what I would replace it with. I want off the OSX ride.

I suspect it would perform admirably well with 'Paris' or 'Copenhagen' (see sibling comment), but if you want to have some real fun try 'Southern Spain' or 'Rural Malaysia'.

For fun I planned a holiday entirely with LLM's lately, and followed through.

It used good models and did a lot of searching, including searches in other languages. It got nothing right, riddled with fake places and times. It also found some weird and unique places I never would have considered.

I had a blast, brought me back to traveling pre-internet, requiring a level of spontaneity I had forgotten we used to depend on. 100% recommend it.

How does this deleted fix_everything.sh fit in to your story?

Yep, but importantly "pigeon" and "dove" are not exactly interchangeable words, there is just no consensus for which is which.

Also, many tunnels. Less fumes makes a difference.

I like how it fluently replies in Spanish to another bot that replied in Spanish.

Try Windy.com, it's got ECMWF data, among others.

> The stated goal is that the money will help people do better in the Olympics.

Are you sure? It's not contingent on metals or anything.

I don't think you should think of it as a paycheck.

Delaying a normal career to compete in the olympics will set your career and earning potential back by a few years. This money tries to balance it out a bit.

People absolutely do give up their athletic career to start a normal career for better financial security.

This is one of the reasons I use polars.

You are not wrong, but for this example you can do something like this to run in threads:

  import polars as pl
  
  pl.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3]}).write_parquet("test.parquet")
  
  
  def print_shape(df: pl.DataFrame) -> pl.DataFrame:
      print(df.shape)
      return df
  
  
  lazy_frames = [
      pl.scan_parquet("test.parquet")
      .map_batches(print_shape)
      for _ in range(100)
  ]
  pl.collect_all(lazy_frames, comm_subplan_elim=False)
(comm_subplan_elim is important)

Luckily, polars has .to_pandas() so you can still pass pandas dataframes to the libraries that really are still stuck on that interface.

I maintain one of those libraries and everything is polars internally.
