Python ninjas: I have a stateless __iter__ method in a class Foo, where each yield involves some computation. Is there a decorator or other simple Python shortcut for speeding up for-loops over Foo-typed objects (via multiprocess/multithread)?

I could write a pmap-like…

Great reflection question! It was my first abstract algebra class. I didn't appreciate it at first because we were introduced to axioms upon axioms and were swimming in definitions before we got anywhere. Thankfully, I have encountered better teaching materials for it since then.

I support pathways to research in AI for young people. However, to echo others: I think the likely outcome of this no-feedback high school submission track will be to give participation prizes for well-resourced high school students. To add on:

Procrastinate doing tasks for one immediate research problem by doing non-urgent tasks for other research problems. 🙈🙃

Reminds me of the old joke: if you ask a 7 yo French pupil what is 3+4, they'll answer '4+3 because addition is commutative'.

I don't know about that, but I regretted taking a measure theory class from a French math professor. To make things worse, he was actually a good mathematician. So, as a student, I assumed the problem was me. Impostor syndromes don't come from nowhere.

Fuck it, we’re doing this.

I miss #define from C/C++ and wish Python had some form of pre-processor directives (or at least macros). Don’t @ me about how bad pre-processors are for your health. I’ve read them all and seen what you can do with them if you know what you are doing.
