North Bay Python 2024

Pair programmed with my mum for 3 hours on some of the notebooks for vectors talk tomorrow.

Nice to have an excuse to geek out with her! Our programming interests usually don't overlap so much.

My talk on a "visual explanation of vectors" was entirely in the form of Jupyter notebooks! Check them out here:

Try them with your fav embedding model!

Learning about marimo, an open-source reactive notebook.
Looks really nice for visualizations.

marimo.app/?slug=55kclj

Plus, notebook changes results in small diffs and the notebooks themselves are executable as Python scripts!

Observation: in my talk, I mentioned reading the highly readable pgvector code, and in @lukas's talk on optimizing postgres, he suggests reading the highly readable postgres code.

So maybe postgres is the DB with the most readable code?
