"Beyond the Hype: A Realistic Look at Large Language Models • Jodie Burchell" ⸱ GOTO 2024 ⸱ +25k views ⸱ 19 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 42m 52s
If you've been remotely tuned in to the latest developments in large language models (LLMs), you've likely been inundated with news, ranging from claims that these models will replace numerous white-collar jobs to declarations of sentience and an impending AI apocalypse. At this stage, the hype surrounding these models has far surpassed the actual useful information available. In this talk, we’ll cut through the noise and delve deep into the current applications, risks, and limitations of LLMs…
"Patterns for Building Event-driven Web & Mobile App Backends • Josh Kahn" ⸱ GOTO 2024 ⸱ +2k views ⸱ 18 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 42m 32s
User interfaces by their nature are event driven - interactions trigger events that drive the application. But integrations between frontend and backend are often built synchronously using a request/response pattern. This session explores patterns to enable asynchronous, event-driven integrations with the frontend. It's designed for architects, frontend, backend, and full-stack engineers. You will leave with real-world patterns that bring the agility and responsiveness of EDA across client-server interactions.
Talks - Bruce Eckel: Functional Error Handling" ⸱ PyCon US ⸱ +200 views ⸱ 18 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 30m 17s
In the early days, people wrote small applications in assembly language, using gotos to get around. This didn't scale, so we traded gotos for structured functions with single entry and exit points—and then we added a new kind of goto with the exception, which not only blows up your function but can end up anywhere. This makes functions difficult to compose. We’ll look at strategies in Python that bring exceptions under control and make functions composable again, including the third-party returns library.
"Ian Ozsvald & Giles Weaver - Pandas 2, Dask or Polars? Tackling larger data" ⸱ Pydata Global 2023 ⸱ +200 views ⸱ 24 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 29m 47s
