This edition of myth-busting sadly won’t involve exploding anything MythBusters style — you can always use your imagination if it’s that important to you — but…

When Tony Fadell started working on the iPod, usability often trumped security. The result was an iterative process. Every time someone would find a security weakness or a way to hack the device, the development group would iterate to add measures and fix the issues. Yet, flaws would frequently be ...

AI development is accelerating fast. Advances in hardware, software optimization, and better datasets now allow training runs that once took weeks to finish in hours. A recent update from AI researcher Andrej Karpathy shows this shift clearly: the Nanochat open-source project can now train a GPT-2 ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are the world’s best mimics, but when it comes to the cold, hard logic of updating beliefs based on new evidence, they are surprisingly stubborn. A team of researchers from Google argue that the current crop of AI agents falls far short of ‘probabilistic reasoning’—the ...

In this tutorial, we build a complete pipeline for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis using Scanpy. We start by installing the required libraries and loading the PBMC 3k dataset, then perform quality control, filtering, and normalization to prepare the data for downstream analysis. We then ...

At first glance, adding more features to a model seems like an obvious way to improve performance. If a model can learn from more information, it should be able to make better predictions. In practice, however, this instinct often introduces hidden structural risks. Every additional feature creates ...

Have you ever wanted faster type checking for Python without slowing down your workflow? Tools like MyPy can catch type errors, but they often feel slow or disconnected from the editor experience. This is where Pyright comes in. Pyright is a standards-based static type checker for Python designed ...

In this tutorial, we explore tqdm in depth and demonstrate how we build powerful, real-time progress tracking into modern Python workflows. We begin with nested progress bars and manual progress control, then move into practical scenarios such as streaming downloads, pandas data processing, ...

In this tutorial, we build a complete cognitive blueprint and runtime agent framework. We define structured blueprints for identity, goals, planning, memory, validation, and tool access, and use them to create agents that not only respond but also plan, execute, validate, and systematically improve ...
