Made it out this weekend for a winter camping excursion at Lake Alpine! Dropped to -10C outside at night, but we ate well and slept warm in our snow cave

A recent project I've been working on: github.com/jax-ml/ml_dtyp… ml_dtypes is a Python package containing a stand-alone implementation of bfloat16 and other NumPy dtypes used in AI & ML — the package is now used by JAX, Tensorflow, OpenXLA, and others!

One lesson for writing NumPy/JAX code that took me a surprisingly long time to learn is to preserve array dimensionality whenever possible (i.e., always use keepdims=True).
