Great talk by @madebygps.com at #PyconUS EduSummit: "Big Lessons from Small Models: Teaching Python AI with SLMs" madebygps.github.io/pycon26/talk... Tips: 1. include SLM setup code in all code samples 2. figure out which SLMs actually work 3. teach techniques for working around SLM constraints
Today at @github.com we're rolling out a new issues search in preview. In internal testing, the average list position has improved by 39% with the new semantic search in addition to returning more matching results! Check out this side-by-side comparison in this popular repo from Home Assistant:

New video! 🚀 Learn how to build scalable FastAPI apps with #AzureCosmosDB + Python. @madebygps.com shows how to: ✅ Use a singleton CosmosClient ✅ Inject it cleanly with FastAPI ✅ Prep for Azure Functions Watch: https://msft.it/63325ShMAl #Python #FastAPI #AzureFunctions
Azure Cosmos DB Python Basics: Client Configuration and Dependency Injection with FastAPI
In this video, you'll learn how to properly configure and wire up a CosmosClient using FastAPI's dependency injection system. Instead of creating new connections for every request, we'll implement a singleton pattern with connection pooling that scales efficiently and integrates seamlessly with Azure Functions. What You'll Learn: • Connection pooling fundamentals and why every CosmosClient creates its own pool • The performance difference between one connection pool versus hundreds • Singleton CosmosClient pattern using global variables and lazy initialization • Clean FastAPI dependency injection setup for database connections • Azure Functions integration patterns that work in production Presenter Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza Links: • Code Repository: https://msft.it/63322ShMAk • Azure Functions Best Practices: https://msft.it/63324ShMAw • Azure Cosmos DB Python Best Practices: https://msft.it/63325ShMAb • FastAPI Dependency Injection: https://msft.it/63326ShMAj • Subscribe to Azure Cosmos DB on YouTube – https://msft.it/63327ShMAd • Follow Azure Cosmos DB on X – https://msft.it/63329ShMA5 • Follow Azure Cosmos DB on LinkedIn – https://msft.it/63321ShMA9 #Python #AzureCosmosDB #Azure #NoSQL #DatabaseTutorial #PythonSDK

Apologies if you only follow me for technology. However, newsflash, technology is political.
It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

This has been a super interesting experience; maybe I’ll do a video or explain the process at some point. I’m very proud of the result. The most challenging talk I’ve ever done. It should get chopped up on YouTube soon. #TEDxPDX (but it can be found rewinding in the livestream)

Pilas, mi gente: seguimos con las clases de Python + IA. Esta vez, ¡AGENTES! (22 de Abril). Vamos a cubrir mucha teoría y tendremos más de 10 demos con código para solidificar esta info. Terminarás con una base para crear o agregar agentes en tus apps.
