Discussion Are there specific technical/scientific breakthroughs that have allowed the significant jump in maximum context length across multiple large language models recently?

Latest releases of models such as GPT-4 and Claude have a significant jump in the maximum context length (4/8k -> 128k+). The progress in terms of number of tokens that can be processed by these models sound remarkable in % terms.

What has led to this? Is this something that's happened purely because of increased compute becoming available during training? Are there algorithmic advances that have led to this?

Hiring a Django back-end only dev

I have minimal experience with Django although I am able to recognize core functions due to some experience with Flask. I also have some experience with html/css/vanilla js.

I am have been in talks with a good backend Django developer who has minimal knowledge of FE development. Although I am confident I could develop the solution myself, I do not currently have the skills to develop at the speed that is required to produce an MVP.

However, my doubts stem from this developer's lack of experience with FE work. I thought I could just slap on a pre-built template like Metronic after the back-end views and models are complete but I am realizing this will still require a ton of work to configure, remove unused code, add graphs, tables etc etc. Am I overreacting or would it be smart to just hire another FE developer to assist with this or hire someone who has experience with both Django BE and Django templates?

Ruff 0.4.0 just dropped, with a faster parser and a new language server

Release notes here, seems to be a 20-40% improvement around the board.

This version features a new hand-written parser (rather than a generated one) that is much faster and offers better error messages. It also comes with a new rust-native language server inspired by rust-analyzer, that is multithreaded. I think they’re challenging Pylance’s throne, wouldn’t be surprised if the team goes after type checking next.

Project: An Interactive Python Dashboard For Data Storytelling UN Food Security

Python’s Plotly Dash is a powerful tool for creating interactive data visualizations. As a Comp Sci professor, I use it extensively for interactive dashboards.

Its usefulness lies in its ability to create web-based applications directly from Python code, without the need for additional web development skills.
Using UN food security data, let me show you an example of how you can create an interesting and useful Python Plotly dashboard that tells a data story using:

* **A bubble chart:** with variable-sized markers, a bubble chart can represent the severity of undernourishment within a given country. Each bubble visually represents the scale of undernourishment.
* **A horizontal bar chart:** with its rigid organized structure, a horizontal bar chart provides a clear ordered list that emphasizes the 10 most undernourished countries by percentage of population.
* **A dropdown menu:** by Year, allowing the user to see the changing story over a period of time.

These two data visualizations offer a dual perspective on the global picture of undernourishment: one that is geographically broad and another that is focused and comparative.

***Here's a step-by-step project on how to put this all together.***

Please link me some flask website examples.

I am trying to wrap my head around flask's capabilities. I am looking for live examples of websites using flask mostly by itsself with html/css but without javascript or with hardly any javascript or any other programing languages besides python. Huge bonus points if the code is open source.

Connecting Django to an existing database

Hey, so i want to create a simple web-ui for an existing database. It's a Flask page now but for learning purposes I want to move it to Django and now I'm stuck on 1 little thing. That database. It already exists and has quite a bit of data and no id column (as I know Django creates one). It also gets filled with more data by another program.

I'm not sure where to start with this as it would be very nice if it didn't ruin the existing database..

I don't mind reading documentation but I just don't really know what to look for so some key words or functions or whatever to search for would be very helpful already.

I can't be the only one wanting to do this.

How do you implement replies comments ?

I'm in the process of building a blog site and trying to implement replies on comments. Example: post -> comment on post -> comment on comment. What is the process of implementing it on models? Any suggestion or help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Here are some sample scripts.

&#x200B;

models.py

class Post(models.Model):
id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, editable=False, default=uuid.uuid4)
topic = models.ForeignKey(Topic, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True, related_name='posts')
image = models.ImageField(
default="post_images/default.webp",
upload_to="post_images",
null=True, blank=True
)
content = models.TextField()
date_posted = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
date_updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

Python icon library with 5237 high-quality icons (Tabler Icons wrapper)

What My Project Does:
pytablericons is a Python wrapper for the tabler-icons project, which provides a set of 5237 free MIT-licensed high-quality SVG icons for web projects with each icon being designed on a 24x24 grid and a 2px stroke.
It allows you to load any of those SVG icons directly into a Pillow PNG Image in any size and color without losing quality and without having to download the icons manually or handling the SVG conversion yourself. For the outline icons, the stroke width is customizable as well. All of this is done in just a single line and since the icon is a Pillow Image, it can then be used easily with basically anything (e.g. PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2, PySide6, Tkinter, etc.)


Target Audience:
This is useful for any Python developer who is working on UI projects and wants to easily display modern icons in any size and color without losing quality and without having to download each icon manually.

Hey folks 👋,

Does anyone know how to set up Tailwind with Django? I've been using the CDN, but now I need to push to production.

I've searched for how to set it up, but I didn't find anything useful. It's not even in the Tailwind documentation.
