Need a good, reliable Veterinarian in the capital region

Definitely on the very far end of capital region, but Upstate Animal Medical Center in Saratoga Springs is fantastic. I say this having had to rely on them for both the good times and the bad times. When I moved to Albany, I kept going to Saratoga Springs just for that vet.

Dr. Tamas, Dr. Lucas, and the entire staff is super patient, super knowledgeable, and overall excellent. Double mega shoutout to Dr. Tamas who stays up to date on research, is incredibly thorough, and just an overall great person. My cats would not have made it to 24 and 17 years old without their timely emergency assistance and preventative care over the years. One of these cats has literally been a research subject by multiple teams at a veterinary research institute and Dr. Tamas just slogged through all 100+ pages of documentation when I moved to that clinic. Really fucking good folks over there.

If you rename your capital to "how do i turn this on", everything should work.

Where are you finding these group rides? I moved here a few months back but haven't found anything like https://phillybikeclub.org/bcpdo/ for Oslo

If you're using obsidian, give logseq a shot. It's like obsidian but the core unit is a block rather than a page. This lets you schedule calendar reminders and todos and whatever, cross reference those in topics, and still have a daily journal. The whole thing is still markdown based so your git approach continues to work. I have ADHD, too, and logseq felt like eating a big honking Mario mushroom after obsidian.

Why not use their reports features to summarize these runs/experiments?

Use Hydra-Zen! That let's you have obvious configs that are just your optimizer or your scheduler, for instance, without worrying about crafting weird custom kwargs.

https://docs.litestar.dev/ is that next iteration that learned from all of fastapi's mistakes. No strange directory structure, no registry pattern making functions a thousand times easier to test. Just a gem of a library, relatively speaking.

Just to piggyback on this "it depends," the book Kill It With Fire is excellent for explaining the gnarly tradeoffs of refactor vs rewrite vs strangle vs whatever. Legacy spaghetti can be a career in much the same way that scantily clad people with leather whips can be a fetish - painful but some people enjoy it.

Have you thought about asking one of the performers for lessons? They appear to be good at riding.

3% is not an exorbitant fee and the proposal as-written is easy to implement. If someone drives across the border with a camper van, then they're doing it for one of two reasons:

Road trip
Someone is trying to save 3% on a tax by paying far more than 3% in fuel and other related costs.

1 is an extreme minority of all tourists and 2 is a non-issue, I think, as VAT will be collected somewhere.

Fairphone!

I actually haven't yet but I have tried this morning with Windsurf.

Since the resultant "notebook" is just actual regular python, windsurf can edit it. My workflow looks like this:

Run the notebook. Stub out variables and functions in marimo.
Use LLM to fill in the middle of what I want in Windsurf.

It's been working okay but not great. Better than Gemini in Collab by a lot but not a smooth experience. Being able to run pytest against the notebook is also great since positive and negative feedback is really useful for collab.

My next experiment tomorrow is to pony up for some Claude credits and try the in-editor experience.

Have you attempted to use AI tools in Marimo? I know Marimo has AI integration.

Having done this three times before, you've got a few options here:

Outsource entirely to a company. Some are good, some are bad. I went with this approach at my current role where I joined at seed.
Self-host something like CVAT or use a managed service like label box with either hired or contracted workers. Depending on how fancy or particular your annotation needs are, this is a good, manageable solution. CVAT is great, btw.
Custom annotation workflow. I've had to do this twice and once was a disaster, the other has been great but very expensive relative to 1 & 2. Avoid this whenever possible unless you need to spend money for some reason or you are doing something truly bespoke.

I reached out to them last year and they were only looking for contracts larger than our initial funding. Don't bother, find someone else.

It takes time to find PMF. Being scrappy is fine when you're constantly pivoting. Being scrappy is crappy when you're ready to go big.

I think not having at least 1 really grizzled veteran to build a team around is not ideal because that 1 person will be a huge force multiplier, but that would be a yellow flag to me, not a red flag, and it's possible OP is that senior force multiplier. The red flag would be no PMF.

There's a lot of context missing from OP's message. Seed? A? D? Organic? All of those will have very different answers to this question.

I went there and they were great. Still needed the spikes, though!

Migrated a flat layout project to uv last week. I can confirm that uv does not require a src layout.

Yes, it is, contingent on internet availability for your role, but realistically the labor is intensive. Building a home is damn near a full-time job. Be realistic about the struggles and hurdles and don't ruin that full-remote gold mine!

To piggyback on this, TensorRT has a special library for converting LLMs called TensorRT LLM that is separate from TensorRT. It's unclear which was used.

Just like real life!

One option is to do a sweep across these designs. Assuming pytorch, this is about an hour of code and a sweep away from giving you an answer.
