Tuesday Lightning Talks
summary
Evening events include live electronic music with Python — a workshop-backed performance tonight at 19:30 in the lower hall where attendees demo code-driven music. Technical nuggets: Edo: evolutionary data generator uses numpy/pandas and an evolutionary algorithm, reaching r² ≈ 0.9964 after 50 iterations on a correlation search. Practical tips: always get an SLA and test third-party APIs for error payloads. Hardware hobbyists mention Pi Wars robot (Raspberry Pi + PiBorg) with autonomous and remote challenges (Cambridge, 30–31 Mar). A 500-person study shows phones nearby reduce attention and memory.
