   @westonpace we are mixing two things here, I think. The top post has two examples: float truncation and large integer outside of float range. My answer was to comments from @zfoobar about the second example (e.g. https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/35584#issuecomment-1550335682), but the title is about the first example (making this a confusing mixed discussion). 
    
   I fully agree that the float truncation does not match the C++ casting semantics of safe by default (and that's the general underlying issue: the python_to_arrow.cc code path doesn't implement the different notions of `safe=True` vs `safe=False`)
