From jupyter to vscode

Hi everyone, I’ve been using Jupyter notebooks for a while, but as my files grow larger, maintaining them has become cumbersome. I’d like to switch to VSCode to run selected code for testing, but every time I do, I have to rerun the entire code. How do machine learning engineers or data analysts handle large notebook files efficiently?

D R LLMs frameworks for research

I'm a Ph.D. student in AI and NLP and I'm currently starting a new research project with LLMs.
This time, instead of writing all the code from scratch, primarily using HuggingFace and Pytorch, I'd like to use one of the popular frameworks (like LangChain, LlamaIndex etc.).
The motivation behind this is that, ideally, I'd like to learn to use these tools to get a more compact and organised codebase, such that I can easily add pieces to include RAG, Agentic workflows etc.
I'm also interested in having an efficient way to load models and make inferences.

In your experience, which of the many available frameworks out there is the most suitable for research purposes ? And do you even use a framework or you just code everything from scratch every time you start a new project ?

How to run science projects

I’ve put together my experience for running ML & science projects based on 9+ years at a FAANG company. It covers the usual stuff like figuring out vague business problems, finding the right stakeholders, setting up metrics, and getting things done. I also share some personal stories about what’s worked (and what hasn’t), especially when stakeholders aren't on the same page. If you’ve done similar work or have different approaches, I’d love to hear what you think!

How call a Django API from inside a Django process?

I have complex Django app with many different endpoints and pretty complicated filtering.

I want to build an export service that accepts the URL and query string. The makes a call and it pages thru the data writes to a file.

For example, say there is a User API:
"/api/users/?namestartswith=Bob"

Consider the database is larger and there are 100k "Bobs". I want to page thru this and write results to a file.
Finally, the query sets behind the API are sensitive to which user calls them. So the results are dependent on request.user.

For large exports, this has to run in background task. The question is how in the background test do I effectively fake the user auth. I can't just copy the user auth over as it may/will expire.

I could easily write the ORM again, but I really want to use the existing filters and validated business logic.

The only way I have come up so far is to use some of the test infrastructure like the RequestFactory to make the calls inside my task. We do this all the time in our tests.

Alternative is to make some auth feature that allows for user impersonation which seems dangerous.

Am I doing it wrong for only using HTML and vanilla JS?

I've made webapps with VueJS before but it struggled with SEO. For the SEO part of that project I had to create a separate Flask-rendered page and import Vue as components on the page. I have not learned Nuxt yet.

Recently I tried Alpine.js for one project and then vanilla JS for another. I find it's easier to just use vanilla JS for the most part. Maybe because I'm relatively new to JS so I felt the vanilla JS is easier to grasp than frameworks. Granted these are very simple apps maybe that's also the reason. Am I missing something for not using a framework like Vue for simple apps? Does anyone use vanilla JS for a medium-complexity app?

Django web app hosted locally

Hello, I am currently exploring Django because it has good security and my seniors suggested it. Currently they want me to use Django and have a super user and regular user. The super user can do CRUD (create, read. update and delete) data on the cloud/local data base. The regular user has a calendar dash board that has a search function and can search specific dates: Example: January 1, 2024 - it will then list down all the information of data from that specific date only.

My seniors are also pushing Mongo DB, both used for local for User:(Signup/Login) for local and another Mongo DB in cloud that is hosted either via AWS or Google providers of MongoDB.

Is this doable? and how will you tackle this if you are in my place? Thank you for suggestions/helps.

I need help with Django REST JSON parse error

I am very lost with this issue.

The stack is React, Redux, Django REST framework, Gunicorn, Nginx all in Docker.

I am sending a simple POST request from the frontend, all it contains is this data:

let data = {reportid: selectedReportId}

I verified that selectedReportId is not null or undefined. Viewing the request via browser tools, I can see the request and everything looks fine, including the JSON data.

However, it returns a 400 Bad request.

The urlpatterns in urls.py:

...
path('reports/generate/', views.generatereport, name='generatereport'),
...

The corresponding view:

@csrfprotect
@apiview(['POST'])
@permissionclasses(IsAuthenticated)
def generatereport(request):
data = JSONParser().parse(request)
reportid = data.get('reportid')

if reportid is None:
return JsonResponse({'Error': 'Submitted report ID does not exist'})
else:
report = getobjector404(Report, pk=reportid, user=request.user)

How do I query a column in a custom wtf flask validator when using flask-ckeditor?

If I have a column in the db table with current_title = <p>A1</p> how do I query it in in flask and flask sqlalchemy.

In a flask wtf custom validator I tried
post_db = db.session.execute(db.select(Posts).filter_by(title=current_title)).scalar_one_or_none() but post_db is always None.


I know this because I went flash(post_db). I am 100% of the value because I checked dbeaver. Also the reason I am getting <p>A1</p> is because I am assume I am using flask ckeditor.


Though when I looked at dbeaver the text column is https://imgur.com/a/fDBobqZ. Notice the weird character at the end.
Here is the relevant code.

class Posts(FlaskForm):

    title =  CKEditorField('title', validators=[DataRequired('text is required'                     
    submit = SubmitField('Submit')]
 
class Book(db.Model):
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text: Mapped[Optional[str]] = mapped_column(Text(), unique=True)

Error Appears After User Idles for A While (Assuming a Postgresql DB Connection Timeout) How can I handle this gracefully? Plus a ton of other questions.

`django.db.utils.OperationalError: consuming input failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly`

`This probably means the server terminated abnormally`

`before or while processing the request.`

`server closed the connection unexpectedly`

`This probably means the server terminated abnormally`

`before or while processing the request.`

While developing my app getting it ready for launch I have noticed that if I have accidentally left my dev server running overnight I see this error in the terminal when I refresh my browser and I get a 500 Internal server error in the browser.

My App is hosted on Railway using:

whitenoise==6.7.0
psycopg==3.2.2
psycopg-binary==3.2.2
psycopg-pool==3.2.3
gunicorn==23.0.0

Procfile:

web: gunicorn project_name.wsgi --log-file
web: python manage.py migrate && gunicorn project_name.wsgi

I am assuming I just need to change my procfile config to the following to prevent these issues. Also adding an 'CONN\_MAX\_AGE = 0' update to my DATABASES settings should correct the issue yes?

New Procfile:

release: python manage.py migrate

I want to hide the DRF API views in my production code.

I have built a full stack mobile-web application using Flutter and Svelte with Django as the backend. All of the mentioned codes have been pushed to production. All of them function on the Django rest framework APIs(GET,POST and DELETE methods).

I have deployed the Django code using Heroku, on entering the production URL API endpoints, you can see that the API views can be accessed to anyone (refer below)

Django admin not displaying registered LogEntry model

Hello, I've been attempting to display the Django built-in model LogEntry in the Django admin page, but it hasn't been successful. I'm using Django version 4.2.9. While my custom models are displaying correctly, the LogEntry model remains absent from the admin panel.

Here's what I've checked so far:

- Confirmed that django.contrib.admin is included in INSTALLEDAPPS
- Ensured the model is registered correctly within the appropriate app
- Even tried registering the model in a completely new (empty) app, which I added to INSTALLEDAPPS, but it still did not appear.

Do you have any suggestions on why this specific model isn't appearing? What else should I consider checking?

Project World's first autonomous AI-discovered 0-day vulnerabilities

I'm sure a lot of people have found 0-day vulnerabilities by pasting code snippets into ChatGPT. The problem has always been scanning an entire project for 0-days. Some papers have shown it's possible by feeding their agents known vulnerable code, but as far as I know, none of those papers ever got any CVEs or found real 0-days. Vulnhuntr was released this weekend with more than a dozen 0-days discovered in open source projects of 10k+ GitHub stars:

Monoranger: A poetry plugin for managing monorepos

🔗 Link - [https://github.com/ag14774/poetry-monoranger-plugin](https://github.com/ag14774/poetry-monoranger-plugin)

# What my project does

I recently needed to set up a monorepo and I wanted to have similar structure as in Cargo workspaces from Rust.

Essentially I wanted to have a single lockfile shared between all components/projects in the library and have a single venv with all dependencies installed as this makes development so much easier. I use Poetry so I decided to create a plugin for this usecase.

This plugin:

* Enables multiple projects in a monorepo using Poetry to use a shared poetry lockfile
* Enables multiple projects in a monorepo using Poetry to use a shared virtual environment
* Allows projects to use path dependencies and pin their versions during 'poetry build'

# Target Audience

Any Python developer that wants to create a simple monorepo using Poetry and does not want to resort to complex build tools such as Nx. I will be keeping this plugin up to date and make sure that updates and fixes are pushed in a timely manner

# Comparison

The existing tools fall in two categories:

a) Compicated build tools that have their focus on other programming languages but also support Python. An example of this is Nx. It's a nice tool but it has too many features

Help with Creating a Seat Model Linked to Backend in Bus Booking App


Hi all,

I’m working on a Django project for a bus booking system. I’ve already created the Agency and Bus models, but I’m stuck on how to implement the seat structure. Here’s what I’m aiming for:

• I want to create a Seat model that is linked to a Bus, which in turn is associated with an Agency.
• On the frontend, I want to display the seats as they appear in an actual bus (for example, in a 2x2 seating arrangement or other layouts).
• The seats need to be generated dynamically based on the bus assigned.

Could someone guide me on the best way to structure the Seat model and how to display the seats in the view? Any help on connecting these models and ensuring the seats are linked correctly to each bus would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
