I’ve had horse meat in Italy. Nice with polenta.

Anyone who has ever been to a pycon can confirm this and won’t be surprised. Some of the most inclusive and accepting events I’ve ever been to. And this was 10 years ago already.

Chia pet! Or Kia pet!

Yeah attack the country churning out military drones by the thousands. Of course they’re going to deplete air defences.

Free real estate! But as a euphemism.

Yeah tomoz is common. Also see: tomoz arvo

You might just be thirsty. So do a little bump of H2O to take the edge off.

That’s a nice intuitive explanation!

They do it till it Hertz

I’ve seen similar in Vietnam and Thailand too (this year). So I’m guessing it’s common across South East Asia.

“if you don’t give the password I’m gonna stop” 🤷‍♂️

It’s simple thermodynamics really.

Or use sudo?

Really well. Temp turned down all the way, and Gemini has this new feature to run and execute code… Not function calling… It can write a small python script, run it and return the output.

So our prompt explains the excel spreadsheet, then tell it exactly the format we need it in, and then tell it to use python and pandas to read in the CSV, clean it up and reshape it the way we need it to match what we expect and voila.

So hallucinations are not really and issue with the data as it’s simply writing code which then deterministically processes and returns the data.

Edit to add more info: basically Gemini can create and run a lambda function on the fly. And if you’re a coder you can really guide the prompt. Eg "load this into pandas. Then remove all the empty columns. Also remove the total rows. Now unpivot the data so the months are not columns but in separate rows with a column called month.

You get the idea.

Strangely enough we actually solved this problem with AI a few months back. We upload the excel file to Gemini and have a prompt to extract the data we need in a specific json format. And it works surprisingly well.

Before woke computing. /s

Hey Janelle, what’s wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking. Is he all right?

Look I don’t doubt you’ve met these people but it’s not everywhere. Here in Australia the kids still learn this at school.

My daughter is in primary school and they’ve learned to use a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software etc.

So they can all use a keyboard and mouse and she’s done some school projects as PowerPoint slideshows.

They’re functionally the same.

20+ years on and I still have some unresolved Clearcase trauma.
