There was a claim near the top that some things are easier to compute when viewed as cracovians. then some explanation, then suddently it switches to numpy and showing the time is the same.
New title: "Cracovians are a Waste of (the Reader's) Time"?
If one is assigning parentage, would Lyman Spitzer be the "father" of the Hubble telescope? Perhaps it had many "fathers" but only one "mother"?
EDIT: MichaelMoser123's added info and quotes are helpful. Merits updating the Wikipedia page to give her greater(/any) credit.
LOTS of people care how long it takes to train a model. A few minutes, vs. a day, vs. a week, vs. a month? Yea, that matters.
Think about how long it takes to try out different hyperparameters or make other adjustments while conducting research...
If you're Google maybe you don't care as much because you can fire off a hundred different jobs at once, but if you're a resource-limited mere mortal, yea, that wait time adds up.
Seriously though, almost all the examples in TFA are of rewriting existing code. It may be that Python is still best for the rapid dev iteration. Then sure, cross-compile into Rust via the LLM.
Plus, If we care about token usage counts, Python has a lot more opportunities for compact "import thing_I_need" than having to generate entire libraries in Rust.
