In a git repository, where do your files live?
This post explores the inner workings of Git repositories, shedding light on where files are stored within the repository structure. It provides insights into the Git object model and how it manages file versions.

A Hackers' Guide to Language Models

In this deeply informative video, Jeremy Howard, co-founder of fast.ai and creator of the ULMFiT approach on which all modern language models (LMs) are based, takes you on a comprehensive journey through the fascinating landscape of LMs. Starting with the foundational concepts, Jeremy introduces the architecture and mechanics that make these AI systems tick. He then delves into critical evaluations of GPT-4, illuminates practical uses of language models in code writing and data analysis, and offers hands-on tips for working with the OpenAI API. The video also provides expert guidance on technical topics such as fine-tuning, decoding tokens, and running private instances of GPT models.

Asyncio Coroutines Faster Than Threads!?
In this tutorial, you will discover whether coroutines really are faster than threads, or not, given a suite of benchmarks.

Keep content managers’ Django admin access up-to-date with role-based permissions
Using Django's role-based permissions system, you can keep content managers' admin access up-to-date by granting them only the permissions they need. This can be done by using an allowlist-based approach, where users have no permissions by default and must be granted each permission individually.

Why does Python Code Run Faster in a Function?
Python is not necessarily known for its speed, but there are certain things that can help you squeeze out a bit more performance from your code. Surprisingly, one of these practices is running code in a function rather than in the global scope. In this article, we'll see why Python code runs faster in a function and how Python code execution works.

Is GPT Engineer Actually Useful?

This video explores the capabilities of GPT Engineer, a new AI coding tool that can generate code for a variety of programming languages. It evaluates the pros and cons of using GPT Engineer and discusses how it can be used to quickly generate boilerplate code for new projects. The video also compares GPT 3.5 and GPT 4, the two large language models that GPT Engineer is based on.

Speeding up your code when multiple cores aren’t an option
Parallelism isn’t the only answer: often you can optimize low-level code to get significant performance improvements.
