You seem to be doing drugs wrong - I have taken drugs recreationally and have never been to a "party". Actually thinking about it, I have never taken drugs in any social setting at all (including alcohol).

You would think that right? Except then you actually want to run a simple python script on Windows and observe things like: os.rename not being able to replace opened files, the default encoding not being UTF-8 (wtf), not being able to just

I have limited experience, but I think that usually you would take this into account when building your loss function and heavily penalize false negatives during training.
