D Modern use-cases for RNNs?

The discussion can be twofold.
1)What are in your opinion some tasks, for the personal projects scale, where you think RNNs close to traditional implementations (LSTM, GRU) are still the best starting and ending point? Especially compared to transformers.

In small time-series forecasting settings I can see a GRU being more convenient than a Transformer probably, but I am interested also in tasks where inputs are sequences of symbols or measures, but outputs maybe not.

The main goal is to play with LSTM and GRU variants (eg minGRU) on datasets where it makes sense, might do tiny-Shakespeare but it doesn't warm my heart...

2) do you think there are sequential tasks and settings where RNNs are not only the more natural option according to our intuition, but actually the only theoretically or experimentally available option to make do, compared to Transformers or 1D CNNs etc?

I need help with using aiortc with flask.

I was hoping someone could help me, I am new to flask. I am trying to implement a webrtc stream for a one way CCTV/rtsp monitoring system. I chose flask because I am using computer vision for security and also training and/or deploying AI models was the goal for this project. I just can’t find a project anywhere or get any type of AI to help me properly configure it all to work for one way, server to client streaming. I am also a newb to programming, just a hobbyist. Right now my repo is private because I have personal info in some of my code that could cause vulnerabilities, that I do not want to share. But I was wondering if anybody out there has a public repo that was good for one way WebRTC streaming and that actually functions. I’m not trying to video and voice chat, just view a security camera’s stream. I had it working with HTTP but it was absolutely horrible frame quality. It was like slow motion and you had to refresh the page. So I want to try WebRTC so freaking bad lol. I guess I could ditch flask for something else but

Is Django an overkill for a Landing page?

Client asked me to deliver a Landing page. It will be a promo page with animations and GSAP scroll triggers. With a slight functionality of a TikTok API.

I don't know React well enough to build this solely on it, so I though of me using Django, because I'm familiar with it. I know it might sound like an over kill... but maybe not?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Enhance Your Python Logging with Pretty Pie Log: Colorized, Structured, and Thread-Safe!

# What My Project Does:

Pretty Pie Log is a feature-rich Python logging utility designed to improve the readability and usability of logs. It provides colorized output for easy distinction of log levels, supports structured logging with JSON, and offers thread-safe logging for multi-threaded applications. It can be customized with different colors, log formatting, timezone support, and file logging. It even tracks function execution and provides detailed stack traces for exceptions.

# Target Audience:

This package is intended for developers working on small—to medium-sized Python applications and those with multi-threaded components. It's ideal for debugging and tracking program behaviour in an organized and visually appealing way. Pretty Pie Log is lightweight enough for noscripts but offers features robust enough for small applications or internal tools.

# Comparison:

There are several Python logging libraries available, such as logging and loguru. However, Pretty Pie Log stands out because of its:

Colorized Output: Making logs more readable at a glance.
Thread-Safety: A key feature that ensures reliability in multi-threaded environments.
Function Execution Tracking: Using decorators to log function entry, exit, and results automatically.
Enhanced Data Handling: It handles complex data types, including non-serializable objects, with automatic serialization to strings.

Other logging libraries might lack one or more of these

kanban-tui , customizable cross platform kanban/task manager in your terminal

* **What My Project Does**

Kanban-Tui is a CLI tool that gives you a visual board with moveable tasks in the terminal.

With the newest release v0.4.0, you can create multiple boards with individual columns.
More Customization like creating task categories for tasks or change the column visibility is also possible.
It also utilizes plotext to give you an overview about several metrics (created/completed/started tasks).


For a quick demo you can use uvx to create a temporary database and config files with: `uvx --from kanban-tui ktui demo`
They get deleted after you close the application. For detailed instructions and features you can check the Readme on github.

Source Code on github: [Link](https://github.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui)


* **Target Audience** 

Terminal affine developers who do not want to miss a nice graphical experience.

* **Comparison** 

Its similar to kanban-python, which I created before before this project but less minimal and the interaction with the tasks is faster more convenient.
I.e with the TUI one is able to utilize vim-like motions to move cards around, which comes closer to the feeling of actually moving physical cards.



If you find bugs or are missing a feature, please dont hesitate to open an [issue](https://github.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui/issues).

Advanced Python Development Workflow in Emacs

Hey everyone!

Lately, I’ve been spending more time reading code than writing it, but I still code every now and then, mostly in Python. My daily editor — for both coding and just about everything else — has been Emacs for several years now.

Recently, I decided to dig into how the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) work in Emacs, how they can be integrated, and what minimal configuration is needed to get started. As I explored, I took notes for myself, and eventually, those notes turned into a blog post.

It ended up being quite a long read, but I’m really happy with the result. The more I researched and wrote, the further I drifted from my original goal of creating a quick and minimal Emacs setup guide. I rewrote the introduction a few times before landing on something I felt good about, and now I’m ready to share it with you.

The article isn’t perfect — there are still some rough edges and gaps I plan to address soon. For example:

* I haven’t covered tree-sitter integration.
* Navigation between code elements feels a bit underexplored.
* Some parts are more superficial than I’d like.

But it’s in a good enough state

Kitten Mixer: A Fun Tool to Combine Cat Images with AI

Hello Python community,

My name is Dylan, and I’m a data scientist. I recently developed a fun little project called [Kitten Mixer](https://mezclador-gatitos.streamlit.app/), and I’d love to share it with you and hear your feedback!

# What My Project Does

Kitten Mixer is a Python-based web app that uses Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) to generate smooth image interpolations of cats. By combining the power of AI with some adorable cat pictures, the app creates unique and visually fascinating blends between different cat images.

# Key Features

* **Image Interpolations:** Combine two cat images and explore their latent-space interpolations.
* **Latent Space Exploration:** Visualize how the neural network represents cat images in a 2D latent space.
* **Interactive Web App:** The app is built with Streamlit for an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.

# Target Audience

* **Who It’s For:** Python enthusiasts, AI hobbyists, and cat lovers looking for an entertaining and educational use of machine learning.
* **Intended Use:** Great for learning about Variational Autoencoders, showcasing AI-generated content, or just having fun creating unique cat images.

# How It Works

1. The project uses a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) implemented in PyTorch to encode and decode cat images.
2. By interpolating in the latent space of the VAE, the app generates smooth transitions between any two selected cat images.
3. The app runs interactively

Why Do REST Frameworks Use Their Own Auth Layers Instead of Django’s Auth Backends?

I've been exploring REST frameworks like Django REST Framework (DRF) and Django Ninja, and I noticed that they both introduce their own layers for authentication.

DRF does it in the base class of all REST views.
Django Ninja does it in the router that wraps the views.

This creates separate libraries, like djangorestframework-simplejwt for DRF and django-ninja-simplejwt for Django Ninja.

But Django already has a good auth system with backends that work for all views. Why don’t these frameworks just use Django’s auth backends and a middleware?

Is Django’s auth system missing something, or do these frameworks need extra features that Django doesn’t provide?
