Some spooky stuff at the #PyConUS lightning talks

Steno to steno challenge at the #PyConUS lightning talks. WOO for the captioners, thank you all!

(The captioner did get it 99% right, software glitch dropped some of it)

I am 2 for 2 when it comes to attending #PyConUS and running into UMBC alums. In this case, Aayush Kumar JVS who is presenting on quantization for LLMs in the "AI" track.

#RetrieverBeliever

@BajoranEngineer giving an admirable explanation of spoons theory and how it actually looks in the workday of a human developer, before talking about how that intersects with our environments

#PyConUS

@paulox giving a great fly-over of the problems "AI" causes in open source.

"The problem is no longer bad code, it is conflict"

Of course including the obligatory XKCD comic

#PyConUS

@baconandcoconut attesting to the power of the @nedbat method of helping some get to a talk: "tell me about something you're interested in" -> [a bit of talking] -> "great, that's your [lightning] talk"

#PyConUS

#PyConUS off to a very citywave start
