A data analysis of speeches at the Oscars
Some see the Oscars as the pinnacle of artistic achievement, a night of cinematic excellence that honours the best of the best. Others view it a TV reality show in which over-paid and over-dressed frenemies hand arbitrary awards to each other for incomparably subjective artistic performances. Whatever your view, there is no doubt that what […]

API design note: Beware of adding an “Other” enum value
Consider the following API: enum class WidgetFlavor { Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Other, }; WidgetFlavor GetWidgetFlavor(HWIDGET widget); The idea here is that Widgets come in three flavors today, but we might add new flavors in the future, so we add an Other value to cover any future flavors. This is a problem. Suppose we do indeed […]

Python as a Second Language Empathy
abstract [embedded content] It’s different! Let’s talk about how. Because as Python experts (you did choose to come to a Python conference so likely you’re either an expert already or in time you’re going to become one if you keep going to Python conferences) we have a responsibility to help our colleagues and collaborators who […]
DualPipe: An innovative bidirectional pipeline parallelism algorithm
DualPipe is an innovative bidirectional pipeline parallism algorithm introduced in the DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report. It achieves full overlap of forward and backward computation-communication phases, also reducing pipeline bubbles. For detailed information on computation-communication overlap, please refer to the profile data. Example DualPipe scheduling for 8 PP ranks and 20 micro-batches in two directions. The micro-batches […]
DeepSeek Open Source Optimized Parallelism Strategies, 3 repos
Here, we publicly share profiling data from our training and inference framework to help the community better understand the communication-computation overlap strategies and low-level implementation details. The profiling data was captured using the PyTorch Profiler. After downloading, you can visualize it directly by navigating to chrome://tracing in the Chrome browser (or edge://tracing in the Edge […]

iMac G4(K)
A year ago I tried using an M1 iMac for work duty but its 21″ screen took up too much room on my desk. After seeing Sean’s video on Action Retro about putting an M4 Mac Mini inside an iMac G4, I thought I’d give it a try. Juicy Crumb DockLite G4 The Juicy Crumb […]
