How about a weekly quiz? :sunglasses:  I can start us off.
This is a painting of Ancient Rome. Identify the anachronism (something that is out of place for the time period &amp; location).
It could be a piece of technology, geography, fashion style, etc. and is often subtle.

I don't know... :exploding_head: :male-detective:

I used ML to solve this, but I won't spoil the answer for the rest :sparkles:

A hint from the housing market: location, location, location.

I do admit this is a deep test of fauna knowledge, but no one said googling isn't part of the game :wink:

But to spare you guys from the pain, it's the cactus and agave plants. They aren't native to Italy and were only shipped from America much later compared to the ancient roman age

Hahah totally wouldn’t have figured that out, nice one :raised_hands:

Solve the rebus puzzle! These are ideograms, meaning each tile in the puzzle represents an idea / phrase.
For ex. the first one is "banana split" and the one below it is "armed robbery". You can ignore the tiles masked with blue.

Poll: who here has used Ray before? <https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/|https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/>

:zero: Never heard of it
:one: Haven’t used
:two: Used it
:three: Currently using

I really love actor-based/ event-driven programming in general. Most people might only use high-level layers from Ray like Dask or Modin, I have made several ETL projects with Ray Core, really a good platform to handle the life cycle of tasks but performance was not that good.

An actor takes around 60-100MB of RAM... with such memory amount, I would rather call it a worker lol. Anyway really looking forward to seeing people do cool things with it

What an awesome response <@U048RHMEUGP>! I similarly seem to have a really strong “it clicks” feeling working with an actor based paradigm (e.g. really enjoy the <https://akka.io/docs/|Akka> framework).

Thanks for contributing your thoughts! Agree that 60-100MB overhead is quite much. You really need to some scale to get Ray to show its advantages, but in those cases where it works it does expose a fairly elegant programming model that can pull off impressive feats in terms of scaling properties.
