Uh sorry I mistook this for the 3.15 profiler announcement, thanks for the correction!

The man himself, thank you for the articles =)

Yes indeed! Mostly don't put changing data in the beginning or prepend.

Anything Sam Rose is worth reading: https://ngrok.com/blog/prompt-caching

but the implementation will be up to your provider and harness, for deepseek, they expose some numbers: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/kv_cache/ and Anthropic has a list of actions invalidating your cache: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt...

Basically, you avoid anything dynamic: model change, tool change, etc it's also important that your system prompt or main prompt doesn't have non-static data like the date/time/place or someone's name (the person you interact with in a chatbot for example). That should be left to tool call or search.

Here are explanation on how to use it from one of the people working on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1x4X83CDSA and the chunky docs that go with it in the beta of 3.15: https://docs.python.org/3.15/library/profiling.sampling.html

Wasting Orval is the biggest sin of all.

Interesting article, wonder where we're going with this though, I find it's very difficult to keep LLMs on track and critical enough to be useful.

Just want to say that:

In our deployment, student-reported reading completion baselines for MATH 010 were approximately 15%, with instructors estimating 10%. Individual student reports of reading compliance ranged from "literally no one does that" to "is this being recorded?"

is hilarious

I can only recommend looking at all the Decker author's projects. He's done work on APL languages, GUIs, interactive programming, etc. https://beyondloom.com/things/index.html

A cool person making cool things!

The only thing I got from the presentation is that I still underrate geese, gotta put some respect on their feathered name.

My experience with Python is a really bad one for professional work: it's chaotic and slow, and has by far the worst versioning and packaging story of any mainstream language, yet its proponents keep praising it in denial.

Some people just don't have the experience you do, "its proponent keep praising it in denial", can we have a better level of debate, come on now.

I think this article: https://www.boringcactus.com/2025/04/13/2025-survey-of-rust-... was the most exhaustive review of accessibility that I know of.

It's exciting to see those developments in what is a language with already great economics. I'm sad there's pretty much no market for it in western Europe aside from maybe Germany.

Software design/architecture is a strange beast. It feels that if you want to learn it, you should spend time in legacy systems and large codebases of rewrite a project 3 times to explore counterfactuals. A lot of books on the subjects are abstract and give such simple examples, they are useless.

Thanks, I'll leave it as sucky markdown :D

That's fair, I have plenty of international coworkers and I think (and from what I hear from them), that Belgium is decently welcoming, at least in large cities.

I do take the train quite often as I said, anything on large axes is usually fine (Brussels - Charleroi, Brussels - Antwerp, etc) but yeah smaller lines are usually struggling some more.

I wish we had more ambitious governments in general, not only in terms of energy but also in the (bio)tech scene, which used to be touted as our great strength (we do have a lot of pharma companies though).

I'm not disagreeing

Having kids is a financial and ecological disaster. As an outside observer it's remarkable to me people are still having any kids at all, which speaks to the strong subjective factors overpowering whatever objective considerations one might have about it.

Absolutely insane take imo. You do you man.

Depending on the country's situation, you might have to use fossil fuels during the transition, that's alright. But the transition is non-negotiable at this point.

I just want Belgium to go all-in on renewables, we [already have a pretty good electricity production make-up](https://statbel.fgov.be/en/themes/energy/electricity-product...) but we're still [too dependent on oil](https://www.iea.org/countries/belgium/energy-mix).

Hopefully the current energy crisis is a wake up call.

It's fine to shit on things but I have service almost everywhere and I take the train often with usually few issues aside from works on the tracks. Let's not blow up issues, it takes away from what we should focus on.

Fair enough!

Why did you move from it if I may ask?

Always a solution ofc!

Hey! Thanks for creating the package =) I'll need to try the integration again.

I would love to use Clojure but there are basically no jobs in my area with the language. Seems like the Nordics like Clojure but I'd need to move.

The very good backwards compatibility is attractive but as the result of the small community, there's also a lot of abandoned packages and fewer QoL packages (formatters, linters, etc); I know there are some but for example I had setup `cljfmt` in Emacs and it wouldn't work, didn't look further.

Thanks, I had to do the same.

I know but still it was a bit too high level for my taste though I appreciate the effort!

I thought it was generally interesting but it needs to materialize into processes and tools people can use.

Yeah I was looking for the next one!

There are some use cases for very dynamic code, like ORMs; with descriptors you can add attributes + behavior at runtime and it's quite useful. Anyways, breaking metaprogramming and more dynamic features would mean python 4 and we know how 2 -> 3 went. I also don't think it's where the core developers are going. Also also, there are other things I'd change before going after monkey patching like some scoping rules, mutable defaults in function attributes, better async ergonomics, etc.
