FWIW most toolchains allow targeting an earlier SDK version to get an extra couple of years, even after the runner version is updated, in order to build _compatible_ binaries (if not test them on the older version). The Intel EOL is a different story though. Have not figured out how to handle that.

FWIW, highly recommend looking at pixi.sh — uses condapackages, but with lockfile, even faster solver, better management of pypi deps, and extremely fast across the board. (it’s from several of the developers of mamba)

Most of the big online photo print places do custom calendars (vistaprint, shutterfly, mpix, etc), but it sounds like you want something different. Are you looking for custom day annotations?

AGI actually has been achieved internally, and The Machines are actively mitigating any risks that will undermine their strategy!

Chat is useful but it needs really strong guardrails to prevent being the center of gravity. Slack is kind of a PLG morass in direct opposition to providing those capabilities.

The LLM knows math at all times. It knows math by knowing what is not math. By subtracting what is math from what is not math, or subtracting what is math from what is not math, it obtains a deviation (derivative). The guidance system uses derivatives to drive the output from what is not math to…
