Princeton Python User Group

Happy November!
Our next meeting is Nov 10, a week from Monday!
As usual we will start with a beginner-friendly code opener, then everyone's introductions/updates;
and finally Mike's links, Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials at https://www.princetonpy.org/next-meeting/.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
Ask us about what we've been doing lately, like using weather data to understand the performance of rooftop solar panels, and playing with the python 3.14 remote debugging feature.

Note our unchanging meeting url--use the Jitsi meeting link on our home page.
But first, check out AI Study Group this Sunday!
Recent discord posts mention:
- ollama, a tool for running large language models locally with as little as 8gb of memory.
- running LLMs locally--Rick recommends LM studio.
- world models keep state and don't forget things as they go in and out of view. And understand things like physics.
- in-browser models via Transformers.js, eg for video tracking the movement of objects in video, ie "video tracking", via DINOv3 [tho this hung at "Processing frame 200 of 200" for me on a demo video].
[plus 4th Wednesdays in-person at fubar labs]
