In a previous article, I’ve described how you can write a Python script that allows a continuing conversation with the GPT models of OpenAI. Still missing from that script is the possibility to have the models use functions. Functions provide…

After describing how to access the OpenAI API from Python in the previous article, I’d like to dig a bit deeper into one particular example application that looks like it could be useful. In this post, I’m going to explain the chat completion endpoint a little bit more, and…

Now that the OpenAI API is accessible by anyone, it is time to start using it! As usual, I’ll be using Python for that. If you want to access the API, you’ll need to create an account with OpenAI first. If you have an account to access ChatGPT, then…

I normally don’t promote external sites or apps on this blog, but I’ve found an app that every nerd needs (I assume here for a moment that you, my reader, might just as well be one). You need to have Phyphox on your phone! I need…

In this article, I list basic scripts to save and load images. As always, I’ve assumed that you want to use NumPy and SciPy for processing your data, and that you use floating point numbers for all processing and…

It turns out that each positive real number $x\in\mathbb{R}^+$ can be written in the form $x=1/a_1+1/a_1a_2+1/a_1a_2a_3+\cdots$, where ${a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots}$ is a unique non-decreasing sequence, finite or infinite, of postive integers. This is called the Engel expansion of $x$, after…

Each time I need to do something with audio, one dimensional signal processing in general, or images, I need to go through my collection of Python scripts to help me remember once again which library to use to save and load them. To make this easier…

After deciding that I’d like to automate a weekly tweet of one of my existing blog post, to keep you entertained a bit more now that my posting frequency has diminished lately, I started by googling the different tools and platforms that can be used to do that. However…

After 2020, 2021 was a another really quiet year on this blog, this time with a grand total of five articles posted… And, of those five articles, four were part of the tutorial Reconstruction of a Real Dataset. Although I do have to say that that tutorial took…

Cherenkov radiation is best know for the eerie blue glow in the water around the core of nuclear reactors. It was named after the Russian scientist Pavel Cherenkov, who received the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics for its discovery. It is…
