March meeting
Date: Monday, March 11th @ 7pm
Princeton Python Monthly: Mar 2024
Happy Leap Day!
Our next meeting is a week from Monday!
Our opener will be a closer look at some of Jörg's string formatting concepts from last month.
Then we'll get everyone's introductions/updates;
maybe use python to learn about the April08 solar eclipse [partial in NJ, but still so cool] by updating our old github project;
and finally Mike's links: Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
Note our unchanging meeting url--use the Jitsi meeting link on our home page.
But first, check out AI Study Group this Sunday! Rick will discuss:
* Threestudio text-3d project
* Four Images to Get A High-Quality 3D Object with Gaussian Splatting
* A bit of theory from the past: Roland Barthes, Death of the Author and its Relationship to Authoring from a Latent Space

- really great concept that I've (mike) used A LOT in some related way when I write test functions for the sole purpose of learning how to use a library and set some breakpoints to inspect the objects, you don't have to get rid of those tests either (marking them with ignore is ok!) because they serve as great documentation
