Undocumented migration does not raise crime rates, huge study finds
Analysis of neighbourhoods in more than 100 US cities finds no evidence that rising numbers of undocumented immigrants are linked with violent crime.

I’m so glad I made it for the first three hours of the #PyconUS sprints! We got a bunch of new contributors to the Pallets projects, including several devs completely new to OSS. Everyone’s being really helpful and welcoming.

An image of the card "The Fool" from the Rider-Waite tarot deck. The art style is reminiscent of medieval drawings. A man in a brightly patterned tunic stands on the edge of a cliff, holding a stick with a bag on the end in one hand and a flower in the other. A small white dog prances at his feet. The background shows a yellow sky with a sun in the corner above what appears to be a mountain range. The number 0 is shown in the top center of the card, and the text THE FOOL is written across the bottom.

This is a mix of using mcp tools and then the agent writing its own code to get you the answer. The speed up is achieved by giving the agent a sandbox to execute that code, instead of the requirement of spinning up a container to run that code.

The agent then uses the mcp to get search for bike rides from 2025. It then writes a script to run, along with the data and passes it to a method that runs monty to then run that code and return the result or raise an exception.

Exploring @pydantic.dev monty with my strava mcp server. I understand the value of having a readily available code runner for the agent. Since agents are trained to generate code and interpret output, they can answer questions like - "what was my highest speed in cycling in 2025? which ride?"
