I stress-tested Google’s new Colab MCP server with a real quantum workflow.
An AI agent took a blank Colab notebook and:
• installed dependencies
• fixed Qiskit compatibility issues
• ran a 15-point H2 scan
• submitted a real job to IBM Quantum hardware
This is where Colab gets interesting: not just notebook editing, but agent-operated cloud execution.

Python 3.15's JIT is now back on track
https://fidget-spinner.github.io/posts/jit-on-track.html
Hello everyone! Just migrated over and looking to connect with folks in a few different spaces.
I’m a Texas-based cyber expert currently diving deep into Python and Cybersecurity (specifically #BugBounty and #Pentesting). When I’m not looking for vulnerabilities, I’m usually analyzing Gold charts and SMC/ICT trading setups. 📈
Also big into health, fitness, . Looking forward to learning from the community here!

🌕 Hacker News 完整數據存檔:Hugging Face 開源數據集詳解
➤ 實時更新的技術社羣數位史料庫
✤ https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-index/hacker-news
本文介紹了託管於 Hugging Face 的 Hacker News 完整數據存檔專案。該數據集收錄了自 2006 年至今的所有論壇內容,包含貼文、評論及各類交互數據,總數超過 4,700 萬筆。透過自動化的管道,系統每 5 分鐘同步一次最新數據,確保開發者能獲取即時資訊。資料以 Parquet 格式儲存,並按年月分層管理,極大提升了查詢與分析的效率,是研究科技趨勢與討論熱度的極佳數據源。
+ 終於有一個能夠直接透過 SQL 查詢的 Hacker News 數據集了,對於想分析多年技術趨勢的工程師來說非常實用。
+ 每 5 分鐘同步一次的架構很穩健,透過 Parquet 分層儲存的作法,既節省了儲存成本,也讓後續的數據挖掘變得輕鬆許多。

Python Tip #77 (of 365):
Need to check for the presence of prefixes or suffixes? Use startswith or endswith.
Instead of this:
test_key = (API_KEY[:5] == "test-")
Do this:
test_key = API_KEY.startswith("test-")
The startswith() and endswith() methods can also accept a tuple of strings to check for multiple possible prefixes or suffixes:
is_experimental = name.endswith(("-beta", "-alpha"))
Found the #Python in #tic80 🕶️ Apparently, there is a FORTH for it too, but it's not included in the standard build .
I could turn my newest graphing calculator into an RPN calculator, by running the translation of Embed Forth on it.🤔 On one hand, RPN makes more sense, on the other, Python is more natural to me.
How do you feel about the word "Pythonic"?
I was completely unaware of this project until today. CPython is getting a JIT (just-in-time) compiler!
