Every now and again, we would invite a guest, but mostly it's just the two of us.

Experience. It's just a matter of just doing this for long enough. We've known each other for a few years before that. So I was prepared for the Spanish 2x, you know, speaking speed. Yeah, built in 2x. Right.

Like we were joking, you know, about this like many times because people who are listening to our podcast, which for the most part is Python enthusiasts, but really the Python core team itself, you know, so they're saying, yes, like this is the one podcast that they cannot listen to us at 2x because Paolo is speaking quickly. I am not speaking so fast.

So maybe, you know, with this development of AI and everything, we should have some adaptive playback speed where it recognizes who is talking. And for me, it would be 2x. For Pablo, it would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.

But yeah, she kept up. She was really good. Yeah, the closed captioning at PyCon is a magical thing. It turns out that it does help people with hearing disabilities to participate in the conference. But it's also helpful even for other participants, right? So just as subtitles are being turned on by most people watching now like TV shows and other programs at home,

the closed captions happen to be helpful for regular attendees as well. So this is something that has become a staple of PyCon US. I'm very happy that this is there. Definitely some people present more of a challenge to the persons actually doing the closed captioning.

I'm always amazed not just at how fast they go, but how much they can express the different TLAs and Python-specific terms that we're using. You would think, okay, this is very industry-specific, and if you talk to your dad or to some of your friends that are not in tech... some of the words, verbs, and so on that we're using might be mystifying. You don't even know how to spell this.

And yet the people doing the closed captioning are excellent at this. You would be surprised how obscure project names and so on, they are just perfectly able to spell just correctly. And it always touches my heart when I see my own name spelled correctly, which also does happen. They added me to their alphabet. So I'm like, ah, this is awesome.

Right, so there were a few ways in which we worked around this obviously huge design limitation. So there are plenty of cases in which we are confident we can drop the global interpreter lock for what is happening on a particular thread.

So if your particular thread is doing some big NumPy computation that is only on the sides of numbers that are not shared as Python objects, you can drop the global interpret lock in the time that this computation happens so you can let other threads execute Python in that time.
