Amazing post. One suggested addition, please please use data classes whenever possible instead of dictionaries. Raw dictionaries cannot be inspected without running the code and printing the keys. But data classes are basically self documenting! (And they can be typed).

I’m so glad I live during the period of human history in which we invented YouTube. I just watched a documentary about butter.
I suppose this is another way of saying that I’m grateful to have turned in my last graded problem set ever!

I wish media did a better job framing “scaling laws” for lay folks.
they’re empirical best-fit models on a log scale. 10% more data doesn’t help you, you need 10x.

If you're running into this problem (not having sufficient access to local public library books), the Queens Public Library offers out of state access for $50 (basically for this reason). I obviously haven't used it so don't know the details but worth looking into.
