Is PyOxidizer going to make it any harder to 'decompile' one of these Python executables? Of course, once you have the bytecode it's easy to recover the source code, but I wonder if something could be built into this tool to make it ever-so-slightly more difficult.
Nuitka has the potential to solve this issue, but it seems not ready yet.
Yes but they are limited in size and in precision to FP16, which is not sufficient for most applications, especially scientific computing... What this person is asking I think is: Can you actually think of another concrete application?
There's something I've always wondered about.. what do you do if you upload your journal submission to arxiv but it's later rejected? That possibility has always been a deterrent to submitting to arxiv for me. Seems to me this discussion assumes arxiv uploads will be accepted to some journal eventually..
