My first experience with #chatgpt5.
I queried how to write some #python code to write out unformatted, binary files so my #fortran code could read it.
Proceeds to give me a load of #NumPy code. Completely neglects to mention the #SciPy FortranFile class that can trivially read and write, and appears on the first page of a search.
This is going to be a bumpy ride!
A colleague just notified me that a post in today's daily summary from the ASA describes a simulation that found overestimation of false positive rates by the Brown-Forsythe test applied to trimmed means in the scipy.stats.levene function. The R car:leveneTest function provides more accurate estimates.
Ugh great.
I sing mild praises of #Python documentation, but when it comes to third party libraries like #NumPy and especially #SciPy the documentation ranges from less than stellar to utterly atrocious.
And now I have a problem: scipy.optimize.fsolve() is throwing a numpy DeprecationWarning: Conversion of an array with nim > 0 to a scalar is deprecated.
The function I'm passing in to fsolve() returns a scalar!! And I'm already extracting index 0 from the return of fsolve!! WTF???

For Talks, we aim for a balance. Presenters can assume the audience has some-to-expert #Python knowledge, but should assume little-to-no specific domain knowledge. The goal is to make your work accessible to the whole #SciPy #community!
RIP gpu-free-ai , which was taken down from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gpu-free-ai/
In its short life, we explored the possibilities of an all-garbage future, but the present was not ready for a package that explicitly implements the Features that "AI" implements implicitly, such as directly posting any keys in your environment directly to pastebin. Even though these Important Features were opt-in gated behind an environment variable, I suppose it is against the rules to upload Literal Malware to PyPI even if it is performance art.
The project remains at https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/gpu-free-ai/
Всё об устройстве FT8/FT4 с примерами на Python
FT8 — цифровой радиолюбительский протокол, разработанный Джо Тейлором (K1JT) и Стивом Франке (K9AN) в 2017 году. В этой статье будут рассмотрены подробности работы протокола. Статья может быть интересна радиолюбителям, как знакомым, так и не знакомым с протоколами FT8 и FT4, а также тем, кто хочет в подробностях понять устройство этих протоколов.
Почему Python стал языком нейросетей и как это работает на практике
Python давно перестал быть просто «языком скриптов» и уверенно вышел в лидеры среди инструментов для нейросетей. Его синтаксис понятен «с первого взгляда», а мощные библиотеки позволяют сосредоточиться на идее, а не на рутине. Сегодня, от первых численных расчётов в NumPy до сложных моделей в TensorFlow и PyTorch, всё строится вокруг привычного Python-кода. В этой статье мы пройдём путь от базовых скриптов до «ручных» нейросетей и ноукод-решений, чтобы понять, почему именно Python стал стандартом в мире ИИ и как с его помощью оживить ваши первые нейросети.

Every time I wear my Spyder t-shirt, I can feel the open-source calling.
It brings back great memories of @SciPyConf & @PyDataParis Paris — and the vibrant community around it. 
Thanks again to the @Spyder team and @cam_gerlach for the shirt and the spirit that comes with it!

Всё об устройстве и работе SSTV с примерами на Python
SSTV (slow-scan television) — телевидение с медленной разверткой, узкополосный формат передачи данных, позволяющий передавать изображения через эфир. В этой статье будут рассмотрены подробности кодирования, декодирования SSTV-сигнала. Статья может быть интересна радиолюбителям, желающим познакомиться с новым форматом связи, а также тем, кто хочет в подробностях понять как же работает эта технология.
