Sunday Lightning Talks
summary
A fast tour of concrete claims and builds: a demo runs on Rigetti Aspen cloud and shows Bell‑state experiments on a real QPU; an argument for PEP 594 removing dead batteries names AIFF and DreamWorks’ reliance and urges ripping modules out of the stdlib; a string‑reverse demo breaks on composed Unicode and fixes it with grapheme normalization or the grapheme library; an AI piano retrains live and actually plays duets; reproducible work launches from Binder launchable environments; a homemade SSH client implements key exchange and exposes pitfalls.
