Read moreThe book passage I read at the top is from “Chapter 10: The Big Black Bag.” In imagining AI in medicine, Carey, Zak, and I included in our book two fictional accounts. In the first, a medical resident consults GPT-4 on her personal phone as the patient in front of her crashes. Within seconds, it offers an alternate response based on recent literature. In the second account, a 90-year-old woman with several chronic conditions is living independently and receiving near-constant […]
Read moreWatch Now This tutorial has a related video course created by the Real Python team. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Defining and Calling Python Functions A Python function is a named block of code that performs specific tasks and can be reused in other parts of your code. Python has several built-in functions that are always available, and you can also create your own. These are known as user-defined functions. To define a function […]
Read moreCreating software is an achievement worth celebrating. But software is never static. Bugs need to be fixed, features need to be added, and security demands regular updates. In today’s landscape, with agile methodologies dominating, robust DevOps systems are crucial for managing an evolving codebase. That’s where GitHub Actions shine, empowering Python developers to automate workflows and ensure their projects adapt seamlessly to change. GitHub Actions for Python empowers developers to automate workflows efficiently. This enables teams to maintain software quality […]
Read moreOutdated 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
