To add to 3): YouTube embedded videos default to 360p for me even if I maximize the embedded video on my 4k screen, which is completely unreadable. This is probably an attempt by YouTube to get viewers to click through to the YouTube websit

Definitely readable. A stronger blur would not have helped the situation either. It is absolutely insane how well information from a blurred image can be reconstructed. For example, consider the "Data" column of the following imag

I think strtol is just a badly designed function. The return value should have been an error code and the actual long should have been "returned" via a pointer. Checking the return value is much easier than checking endptr and err

To be fair, you could replace `import numpy as np` with `import cupy as np` and it would run on GPU without further changes. It is not any good though. PyTorch is roughly 12 times faster.

You don't have to wrap the lists in np.array if you use NumPy functions (or if one of the arguments already is a NumPy array, which usually is the case): from numpy import * A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] x = [[5], [6]] y = do

The Python API example looks like it has been written by an LLM. You don't need to import json, you don't need to set the content type and it is good practice to use context managers ("with" statement) to release the con
