Why Django?

No seriously (purely an educational post since idrk).

If you want to do enterprise -> spring boot

If you want to microservice -> Golang backend frameworks

If you want to do prototypes -> Fastapi

If you want to do a startup level scheme -> Supabase auth or wtv + flask

So why django?

R LLMs are Locally Linear Mappings: Qwen 3, Gemma 3 and Llama 3 can be converted to exactly equivalent locally linear systems for interpretability

https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.24293

https://github.com/jamesgolden1/llms-are-llms

Hello all, I'd like to share my new research describing an alternative approach to LLM interpretability. I show that transformer decoder LLMs can be made locally linear at inference time without changing outputs or weights.

Result: LLMs can be converted into nearly exactly equivalent linear systems that reconstruct the next-token output for any given input text sequence. Instead of 25+ layers of nonlinear computations, this method computes a single set of matrix multiplications that linearly operates on the input embedding vectors and nearly exactly reconstructs the output embedding for a single token prediction.

Method: A "linear path" through the transformer is identified, the nonlinear components are detached from the gradient, and the Jacobian with respect to the input embeddings is computed. This yields the "detached Jacobian", which is the set of matrices that operate linearly on input embeddings to reproduce the predicted output embedding with \~10⁻⁶ error for float32 models.

Interpretability: This method provides nearly-exact token attribution rather than approximate attention weights - tools from linear algebra like the SVD are used to understand which concepts drive predictions

Scope: Works across Qwen 3, Gemma 3, Llama 3, Phi 4, Ministral and OLMo 2 (tested up to 70B parameters at q4).

Practical: The method works on

A simple file-sharing app built in Python with GUI, host discovery, drag-and-drop.

Hi everyone! 👋

This is a Python-based file sharing app I built as a weekend project.

**What My Project Does**

* Simple GUI for sending and receiving files over a local network
* Sender side:
* Auto-host discovery (or manual IP input)
* Transfer status, drag-and-drop file support, and file integrity check using hashes
* Receiver side:
* Set a listening port and destination folder to receive files
* Supports multiple file transfers, works across machines (even VMs with some tweaks)

**Target Audience**

This is mainly a **learning-focused, hobby project** and is ideal for:

* Beginners learning networking with Python
* People who want to understand sockets, GUI integration, and file transfers

It's not meant for production, but the logic is clean and it’s a great foundation to build on.

**Comparison**

There are plenty of file transfer tools like Snapdrop, LAN Share, and FTP servers. This app differs by:

* Being **pure Python**, no setup or third-party dependencies
* Teaching-oriented — **great for learning sockets, GUIs, and local networking**

Built using **socket**, **tkinter**, and standard Python libraries. Some parts were tricky (like VM discovery), but I learned a lot along the way. Built this mostly using GitHub Copilot + debugging manually - had a lot of fun in doing so.

I have no clue why the site doesn't display anything. Like I think the index function is just not called for some reason. i've tried putting print statements within the index function and they never print anything.

When I click on the link, nothing appears, its just perpetual loading. i've checked a trillion times that the folder has the python file and then a templates folder with index.html inside.

I've tried tutorials, I've copy pasted 1:1 programs that are meant to work, everything leads to the same exact result, so i don't know if its my code anymore. I've tried reinstalling python, reinstalling flask, and nothing ever works. It's not just my device, my school one is also experiencing the same issue.

does anyone know what i can do?? if you need any more details please tell me. i'm kinda not good so apologies if im doing or missing something horribly obvious

Pydantic / Celery Seamless Integration

I've been looking for existing pydantic - celery integrations and found some that aren't seamless so I built on top of them and turned them into a 1 line integration.

[https://github.com/jwnwilson/celery\_pydantic](https://github.com/jwnwilson/celery_pydantic)

**What My Project Does**

* Allow you to use pydantic objects as celery task arguments
* Allow you to return pydantic objecst from celery tasks

**Target Audience**

* Anyone who wants to use pydantic with celery.

**Comparison**

* [This blog post](https://benninger.ca/posts/celery-serializer-pydantic/) is the majority of the code above, but it requires registering each model manually, which I didn't want to do.
* [Celery’s official Pydantic integration](https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/v5.5.2/userguide/tasks.html?ref=blog.dosu.dev#argument-validation-with-pydantic) only accepts plain dicts in arguments, not pydantic models. It also only returns dicts.

You can also steal this file directly if you prefer:
[https://github.com/jwnwilson/celery\_pydantic/blob/main/celery\_pydantic/serializer.py](https://github.com/jwnwilson/celery_pydantic/blob/main/celery_pydantic/serializer.py)

There are some performance improvements that can be made with better json parsers so keep that in mind if you want to use this for larger projects. Would love feedback, hope it's helpful.

Topographic Map to 3D Model Converter

What my project does

Takes an image of a topographic map and converts it into a .obj model.

Target audience
This is a pretty simple project with a lot of room to grow, so I'd say this is more of a beginner project seeing as how little time it took to produce.

Comparison I created this project because I couldn't really find anything else like it, so I'm not sure there is another project that does the same thing (at least, not one that I have found yet).

I created this for my Social Studies class, where I needed to have a 3D model of Israel and the Gaza strip. I plan on reusing this for future assignments as well.


However, it is kind of unfinished. As of posting this, any text in the map will be flipped on the final model, I don't have a way to upload the model to SketchFab (which is what you need in order to embed a 3D model viewer on a website), and a few other quality of life things that I'd like to implement.

But hey, I thought it turned out decently, so here is the repo:

How to efficiently combine Redis-based recommendation scoring with Django QuerySet for paginated feeds?

I'm building a marketplace app and trying to implement a personalized recommendation feed. I have a hybrid architecture question about the best way to handle this:

Current Setup:
- Django backend with PostgreSQL for product data
- Redis for user preferences, actions, and computed recommendation scores
- Celery for background recommendation generation

The Challenge:
I need to serve a paginated feed where the order is determined by Redis-based scoring (user preferences, trending items, etc), but the actual product data comes from Django models.

My Current Approach:
1. Celery task generates ordered list of product IDs based on Redis metrics
2. Cache this ordered list in Redis (e.g., [123, 456, 789, ...])
3. For each page request, slice the cached ID list
4. Use Django's Case/When to maintain the Redis-determined order:


Questions:
1. Is using Case/When with enumerate() the most efficient way to preserve Redis-determined order in Django?
2. Should I be caching the actual product data in Redis instead of just IDs?
3. Any better patterns for this Redis scoring + Django data combination?
4. How do you handle the "cold start" problem when recommendations aren't ready yet?

The feed needs to handle —10k products with real-time scoring updates. Any architecture advice or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated!

Tech Stack: Django 4.2, Redis, Celery, PostgreSQL, DRF

R Apple Research: The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity

Abstract:

>Recent generations of frontier language models have introduced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that generate detailed thinking processes before providing answers. While these models demonstrate improved performance on reasoning benchmarks, their fundamental capabilities, scal ing properties, and limitations remain insufficiently understood. Current evaluations primarily fo cus on established mathematical and coding benchmarks, emphasizing final answer accuracy. How ever, this evaluation paradigm often suffers from data contamination and does not provide insights into the reasoning traces’ structure and quality. In this work, we systematically investigate these gaps with the help of controllable puzzle environments that allow precise manipulation of composi tional complexity while maintaining consistent logical structures. This setup enables the analysis of not only final answers but also the internal reasoning traces, offering insights into how LRMs “think”. Through extensive experimentation across diverse puzzles, we show that frontier LRMs face a complete accuracy collapse beyond certain complexities. Moreover, they exhibit a counter intuitive scaling limit: their reasoning effort increases with problem complexity up to a point, then declines despite having an adequate token budget. By comparing LRMs with their standard LLM counterparts under equivalent inference compute, we identify three performance regimes: (1) low complexity tasks where standard models surprisingly outperform LRMs,
