Interesting factoid: modern guitar effects typically have their input jacks on the right-hand side, and output jacks on the left. In this article's guitar rig diagram, the jacks are reversed, but this is accurate: back then, for whatever reason the jacks were reversed on each of these pedals. Modern reissues of the round-enclosure Fuzz Face pedals preserve this pattern despite the reversal of industry trends.

Are you referring to AI training, prediction/inference, or both? Could you give some examples for what had to be done and why? Thanks in advance.

Conda manages binaries and their native dependencies together, including shared libraries[0]. This offers significant advantages over uv and pip when distributing packages with C extensions, such as dependency resolution that accounts for shared library requirements, and better package isolation.

Numba is a great option for speeding up (vectorizing) loops and NumPy code, apart from CuPy and JAX. Xarray is also worth trying for tensors beyond 2 dimensions.
