Lightning Talks (Saturday)
summary
A chaotic five‑minute set that actually delivers specifics: a craft demo of pipe‑cleaner earrings; common Python typin errors including using the wrong Callable/Any and forgetting the py.typed marker for PyPI packages; a student tool Compendio built with FastAPI and LangChain plus vector DBs and caching (now archived) that timestamps summaries; Streamlit prototypes for radio‑astronomy spatial filtering of interference on a phased‑array feed with ~200 receivers; HGVS vs VRS for genomic variants; and a practical blowfly lure‑out via lights.
