I personally use git commit -m "." for: "Just snapshots this state real quick" on a feature branch.

main branch is advanced on PR level, with squashed commits.

So the "." should never make it to main, and have PR description as commit message.

Can someone explain to me, why Google can't (or does not want to) implement the same auth flow that any other SaaS company uses:

# API Keys in Settings

1. Go to Settings -> API Keys Page

2. Create Token (set scope and expiration date)

# OAuth flow

1. `gws login` shows url to visit

2. Login with Google profile & select data you want to share

3. Redirect to localhost page confirms authentication

I get that I need to configure Project and OAuth screens if I want to develop an Applications for other users, that uses GCP services. This is fine. But I am trying to access my own data over a (/another) HTTP API. This should not be hard.

Agreed. To me it looks like the entire discussion is just bike-shedding.

A post on this topic feels incomplete without a shout-out to Charity Majors - she has been preaching this for a decade, branded the term "wide events" and "observability", and built honeycomb.io around this concept.

Also worth pointing out that you can implement this method with a lot of tools these days. Both structured Logs or Traces lend itself to capture wide events. Just make sure to use a tool that supports general query patterns and has rich visualizations (time-series, histograms).

Well Python Language should be seen as an UI layer for C++/C. Not out of character to use Rust for "heavy lifting"

Why would you learn Gaussian Processes today? Is there any application where they are still leading and have not been superseeded by Deep NNets?

The answer is: YES.

Doing better than nothing is a really low hanging fruit. As long as you don't do damage - you do good. If the LLM just listens and creates a space and a sounding board for reflection is already an upside.

The answer is: Pricing.

Qualified Experts are EXPENSIVE. Look at the market pricies for good Coaching.

Everyone benefits from having a coach/counseler/therapist. Very few people can afford them privately. The health care system can't afford them either, so they are reserved for the "worst cases" and managed as a parse resource.

Can you explain this? What is the compilation target? What is the compiler? How does being a "python extension" help?

Regular speaker here (who is also on the list).

I was never payed for a talk, and I have very rarely heared of people being payed by the conference itself -- appart from some "rock-star" keynotes.

Generally talks are sponsored by the person you currently work for - i.e. they pay for travel, and sponsor your time. If you work for a vendor in the space, this runs under marketing expense. If you work for a "regular" company this runs under personal development, employer branding & industry exchange.

OK. RTFM. You already did! Wonderful.
