Fix formatting/typing so pre-commit hooks pass (#1451)

(Not an eval)

**One-line summary**: Pre-commit hooks were failing. I identified the
main cause, and then fixed all secondary pre-commit issues. I only
changed the logic in one place, `oiaevalset.py`.

I was having issues with type-hinting and identified that the old
`typings` directory was causing the `from openai import OpenAI` import
to register as an error. I decided to go through and fix all the issues
that appeared in `pre-commit run --all-files`.

NOTE: 
- I changed the logic in `oaievalset.py` by adding a `continue`
statement if an `eval` or `eval.key` was missing.
- As far as I can tell this should basically never happen, but is
correct behavior.
- Another option would be to assert that `eval` and `eval.key` are not
`None` but forcing an error here doesn't match what I interpret as
intended behavior.

The manual work involved was mainly:

1. Deleting the `typings` directory, which was interfering with `openai`
type-hints (such as `from openai import OpenAI`)
2. Fixing type issues in `oaievalset.py`.
3. Moving the `client =
OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY"))` line below all the
imports.
4. Breaking lines of length >767 into smaller chunks using line
continuation.

Thus this PR is broken into three parts:

1. Deleting `typings` (first commit)
2. Manually cleaning up issues (middle commits)
3. Applying autofixes from the pre-commit hooks (last commit)

-User: I found this abstract for a physics paper, and I heard that it’s a very famous and important paper, but I had no idea what any of it means: Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large N limits of certain conformal field theories in d dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string theory) on the product of d+1-dimensional AdS space with a compact manifold. Here we elaborate on this idea and propose a precise correspondence between conformal field theory observables and those of supergravity: correlation functions in conformal field theory are given by the dependence of the supergravity action on the asymptotic behavior at infinity. In particular, dimensions of operators in conformal field theory are given by masses of particles in supergravity. As quantitative confirmation of this correspondence, we note that the Kaluza-Klein modes of Type IIB supergravity on AdS5×S5 match with the chiral operators of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. With some further assumptions, one can deduce a Hamiltonian version of the correspondence and show that the N=4 theory has a large N phase transition related to the thermodynamics of AdS black holes. Can you explain it?

 Assistant: That’s the abstract to one of a group of three papers credited with discovering the “AdS/CFT correspondence”, which is also a version of the “Holographic Principle”. This principle says that theories of gravity in d+1-dimensions can be exactly described using other, non-gravitational theories in d dimensions, so the word “holography” is a metaphor. The abstract goes on to give a bunch of concrete details about the discovery and how it’s realized in string theory.
 User: What is the “AdS” and the “CFT” then? Is it “Conformal Field Theory”, and what’s that?
 Assistant: AdS is “Anti-deSitter” space, which is really a negatively curved space… in informal terms, it’s a surface that’s shaped like a saddle. Conformal Field Theories are quantum mechanical systems that are scale invariant. They’re a kind of modified special case of the strong force, which is part of the standard model of particle physics. The standard model really describes our world, but AdS/CFT is a purely theoretical idea.

 User: Actually can we emphasize mostly the practical aspects here, like on technology, industry, and corporations, and also how that’s often overlooked?
 Assistant: Sure, here’s a new draft that emphasizes those points:
 
-The US space program was inspiring, but it also played an often-underappreciated role in technological development.  For example, new materials designed for the space program found crucial applications in industry and manufacturing.  And in order to perform the calculations necessary to plan spacecraft trajectories, the space program also required great leaps in computer technology and communications.  Computers had to be miniaturized for transport on spacecraft, and this made future developments such as personal computers and, eventually, laptops possible.  Furthermore, the moon landings and the general atmosphere of rapid scientific progress was hugely inspirational, and greatly increased public interest in technological fields.  This had major practical implications for the US tech sector, as there was a rush of capable young students joining and even starting their own technology companies.
