- ▶ 38:25 unnamed speaker Uh, you know, you use data pointers to figure out, like, what the past state is in Python, and then you, like, return that. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 39:01 unnamed speaker Like, this just keeps happening, and it's just because, like, Python is a dynamic language, which makes it, like, a terrible choice for these things.
