Yeah, the boilerplate is rough, but python's import system is magic. There's no reason why you couldn't just do from example.jl import mat_mul and have it just work. (With the right libraries and import functionality

It's a constant cat-and-mouse game. When I worked in this space (2019-2021), the best defense against deep fakes was looking at the microfacial behavior/kinematics of the "puppetmaster" and comparing against known standa

I believe by batching they mean operating on collections of entities instead of single ones. So you may have POST /pets to create a single pet from a json object, but what if you want to add a hundred pets at once? Even with multiplexi

Lack of strong evidence is not strong evidence of lack. Subtle effects like "well-being, creativity, and cognitive function" can be quite hard to track, and there are confounders galore.

Java and C are neither simpler nor easier than Python where the rubber meets the road: making the computer do something you want it to do. Not even close. Java requires a fair amount of arcana just to get started (relative to python) and C
