MalReynolds , to Python in Why Python Is So Slow (And What Is Being Done About It)

Sounds like an excellent idea, I'd be surprised if it isn't happening.

Sure, I was being mildly facetious, but pointing to a better pattern, the nature of python means it is, barring some extreme development, always going to be an order of magnitude slower than compiled. If you're not going to write even a little C, then you need to look for already written C / FORTRAN / (SQL for data) / whatever that you can adapt to reap those benefits. Perhaps a general understanding of C and a good knowledge of what your Python is doing is enough to get a usable result from a LLM.

When you need speed in Python, after profiling, checking for errors, and making damn sure you actually need it, you code the slow bit in C and call it.

When you need speed in Assembly, after profiling, checking for errors, and making damn sure you actually need it, you're screwed.

Which is not to say faster Python is unwelcome, just that IMO its focus is frameworking, prototyping or bashing out quick and perhaps dirty things that work, and that's a damn good thing.

Thanks, literally the second option. Blind!

Figured that was likely, haven't found it yet.

I ran across it somewhere, greed makes it sound plausible, but I have no direct evidence.

Yeah, some dickheads apparently want to monetize and should die in a fire, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Patience usually does the trick, but I need to work out how to filter Private out of search results.

That's not a short answer, a good answer, but not a short one.

You might like to look here, https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

No idea if it works, but I installed something similar a few years back, and it worked (might have been CS6 at that). Searching Photoshop linux github has a few hits. There's also a project for GIMP to skin the interface to look like Ps, I just sucked it up and learned GIMP...

Ouch.

The Chinese corruption of the internet is collapsing in full force

My deep sympathies, truly I am sorry at a level I cannot effectively express. Many need the bravery of journalists we cannot know, faint praise, but you are respected.

Meh, how many of you want a DM but never got a chance.
