You need to start recruiting, and first you need to do you Akuna OA.

• Recruiting will never be a disadvantage, so start this week in any case
  • Bring your laptop to work the next few days, and work at work & in library after work
  • Akuna OA on wednesday.

Work §

• Polish web UI with better scratchpad presentation, and finalizing image presentation
  • Organize the webui files into a separate directory in repo
• Help out anniridh about llm.bind() not working
• mypy and pydantic for type checking
• Help annirudh of notebook examples
• Change ultipro password
• Change ultipro home address

Python Development §

#Computing/Linguistics/Python

Development Environment §

• mypy is good, but the cache will take very long to build
  • type checking in general is not in the spirit of python, but will help the dev experience (like typescript)
  • Errors will not fully analyze when the something is blocking, e.g. the __init__.py issue
• linters—use flake8; formatter—use black
• pydantic is probably useful, but haven’t tried it yet
• nbQA is a bridge between python linters/formatters/type checkers and jupyter notebooks. (see also Jupyter Notebook Tips & Tricks)

Multiline Strings §

triple quoted multiline strings (""") will include the newline chars and tab chars in the string itself. To avoid this the model way is to do:

my_string = (
    "this is a",
    "multiline",
    "string."
    )

Which will include the newline character but not the tab chars.
