I would say uv provides quite a lot of additional features that can be used in various ways to create plain-old venvs. Note, however that uv-pack can also pack a subset of your uv-monorepo for a specific package (there are still some quirks I have to admit..).

My experience was that it‘s surprisingly painful to „just copy“ a venv and especially a uv-created venv. There are a lot of paths to be modified to get the venv working. Copying a venv felt hacky and wrong, that‘s why I built the tool :)

There appears to be (almost) no true competition in healthcare, therefore no real incentives to improve productivity. Wages in healthcare rise disproportionately without productivity gains (Baumols disease); why invest in digitalization?

The key insight is that smaller, well-bounded changes are exponentially easier to review thoroughly.

I am not sure if that is the real insight. It appears to me that most people prefer small, well-bounded changes, but it's quite tricky to break down large tasks into small but meaningful changes, isn't it? To me, that appears to be the key.

Working in the ML field, I can't hate Python. But the type system (pre-3.12, of course) cost me a lot of nerves. Hoping for a better post-3.12 experience once all libraries are usable in 3.12+. After that experience, I’ve come to truly appreciate TypeScript’s type system. Never thought I’d say that.

There are libraries that support shape checking and I‘ve written a package to combine beartype’s runtime typechecks with jaxtyping‘s shapechecks, see https://github.com/davnn/safecheck

Once accustomed to shape checking it‘s quite a boost in productivity for us, no more fiddling around with invalid dimensions.

Is 5k an appropriate amount for such a finding? Sounds incredibly cheap for such a large organization. How much would something like this be worth on the black market?

To me it seems like it should be a top priority.

Maybe most people are content with children, the current state of the art against aging communities?

Python as a glue language (as it‘s mostly used in data intensive applications) for something like MPI should not add too much overhead?

At least in the German-speaking market there exist said solutions, but they are not very common (yet?). I believe keeping 4L at near boiling temperature is still less efficient than individually heating and it takes less than a minute with 3kW.

It probably is from the perspective of an information theorist. Did you read any interesting articles on the connections between deep learning and information theory to come to this conclusion? I‘m highly interested in this space, but the influence of information theory on deep learning developments appears to be negligible.
