News

Intel recently published an open-source C++ header file library for high performance SIMD-based sorting, which initially is focused on providing a lightning fast AVX-512 quicksort implementation. As of today that code has been merged to Numpy and is providing some 10~17x speed-ups.

Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Does Python still have a need for class without @dataclass?

Here's the second part of the blog series about the migration from Flask to FastAPI. In this one we'll see all the main code changes and refactors you would need to do.

In this post, I discuss how I used GPT embeddings to build a smart search tool for my second brain note-taking system.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to get started with FastAPI in Python. By the end of this video, you'll know everything you need to get started with developing your own APIs!

This report provides an overview of the current state of Python programming language technologies in blockchain software development ecosystems for 2023. We examine blockchain projects and tooling that use Python or are related to Python and why this overlap is significant. We highlight new and exciting projects and opportunities for Python developers.

I will show you how I ran some simple analytics on my Google Calendar history over almost 7 years. I used SingleStoreDB for this, but it should be straightforward to do this with any database. 

In this article, we are going to understand how self-attention works from scratch. This means we will code it ourselves one step at a time.

In this post, we'll implement a GPT from scratch in just 60 lines of numpy. We'll then load the trained GPT-2 model weights released by OpenAI into our implementation and generate some text.
