Outdated coding practices and memory-unsafe languages like C are putting software, including cryptographic libraries, at risk. Fortunately, memory-safe languages like Rust, along with formal verification tools, are now mature enough to be used at scale, helping prevent
Read moreA newly announced documentary brings Python’s history and culture to the screen, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the people and philosophies that shaped it. Meanwhile, new releases and PEPs continue to drive the evolution in packaging and language design. Conferences also continue to foster inclusion, learning, and connection. With new leadership at the PSF and a slate of impactful updates, the Python community is clearly energized and looking ahead. Let’s dive into the biggest developments shaping Python this month. […]
Read moreOne of the key use cases for generative AI involves answering questions over private datasets, with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) as the go-to framework. As new RAG techniques emerge, there’s a growing need to benchmark their performance across diverse datasets and metrics. To meet this need, we’re introducing BenchmarkQED, a new suite of tools that automates RAG benchmarking at scale, available on

Read moreIn shell scripts, the shebang line (#!) specifies the path to the interpreter that should execute the file. You can place it at the top of your Python file to tell the shell how to run your script, allowing you to execute the script directly without typing python before the script name. The shebang is essential for Unix-like systems but ignored on Windows unless using specific compatibility layers. By the end of this video course, you’ll understand that: A shebang […]
Read moreYou may have begun your Python journey interactively, exploring ideas within Jupyter Notebooks or through the Python REPL. While that’s great for quick experimentation and immediate feedback, you’ll likely find yourself saving code into .py files. However, as your codebase grows, your Python script structure efficiency becomes increasingly important. Transitioning from interactive environments to structured scripts helps promote readability, enabling better collaboration and more robust development practices. This tutorial transforms messy scripts into well-organized, shareable code. Along the way, you’ll […]
Read moreThe book passage I read at the top is from “Chapter 4: Trust but Verify,” which was written by Zak. You know, it’s no secret that in the US and elsewhere shortages in medical staff and the rise of clinician burnout are affecting the quality of patient care for the worse. In our book, we predicted that generative AI would be something that might help address these issues. So in this episode, we’ll delve into how individual performance gains that […]
Read moreInteractive Quiz ⋅ 11 QuestionsBy Leodanis Pozo Ramos Share In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of control flow structures in Python. Control flow dictates the order in which your code executes, letting you make choices, repeat work, and handle exceptions to build more flexible, reliable programs. For hands-on examples and a deeper dive, check out the tutorial Control Flow Structures in Python. The quiz contains 11 questions and there is no time limit. You’ll get 1 point for each […]
