It's only 25% speedup in actual Python code, in domains like data science this won't matter much, because your cpu cycles are mostly spent inside numpy.

It does matter if you run your ML models in production. After we upgraded to 3.12 the average response time ~4-6ms decreased to stable sub 2ms. Latency decrease for p95 and p99 were even more significant

If this is the state-of-art then I have some bad news. I recently finished writing my thesis and copy-pasted several paragraphs that did not included any mathematical formulas. Most of them were classified as written by a machine (8 out of 12). It might be due that I am not a native speaker. It seems that the model struggled the most where there are mathematical details discussed but on the topics where I wrote more freely as conclusions and some analysis, it classified as written by human.

I had same problem few years ago but after installing StayFocusd[1] plugin in chrome I solved this issue. I set allowed time per day to 40 minutes to visit such websites as: reddit, fb, 9gag, youtube. If I need to watch video related to work/studies I use viewpure[2] that way I only watch only that particular video and don't lose my binge time. I also communicate with my friends a lot using fb so I just use messenger website instead of having fb opened directly.

Cool project! Last year I built self driving robot for my bachelor's thesis. Instead of building end-to-end deep learning pipeline I used two neural nets: one trained with genetic algorithm to drive a robot based on ultrasonic sensors, another for object recognition and detection. Based on detected items (like road signs) robot took different actions.
