Dive into the heart of NYC construction safety. Through thorough analysis of accident reports from the Department of Building database we will unravel the who, where, when, and why behind injuries and fatalities in the ultimate goal to inspire construction reform. Together, let's "Build a Safer Future" for workers and …
In this contributed article, graphic designer and content writer, Erika Ballo delves into some emerging tools and frameworks in AI, comparing their strengths, usability, and ideal use cases.
A Kepler triangle is a right triangle whose sides are in geometric progression. That is, if the sides have length a < b < c, then b/a = c/b = k. All Kepler triangles are similar because the proportionality constant k can only take on one value. To see this, …

A couple days ago Michael Nielsen posted an image of a one-page paper that gives an algorithm for generating factored random numbers, uniformly distributed from 1 to some designated N. The algorithm does not generate random numbers then factor them. It’s more efficient than that, generating the factorization along with …
In the last two years, I published 5 machine learning and AI books, including one on synthetic data by Elsevier. This represents over 800 pages of compact, state-of-the-art material. The new addition features my most recent advances: the problems that I encountered with generative adversarial networks, and how I overcome …
Introduction: The goal of this study is to analyze the variables that contributed to YouTubers’ success in 2023, specifically their subscribers and earnings. Before identifying those variables, we have to establish the measure of success. Some questions I would like to have answered: Data: The dataset I used, Global YouTube …
Chess, one of most popular and well recognized board games in the world, has experienced a recent resurgence over the past few years. This revival has attracted many new players to chess, including myself. Even though the knowledge of strategy and tactics in chess is vast, openings stand out as …
The last couple article have looked at various kinds of mean. The Python code for four of these means is trivial: gm = lambda a, b: (a*b)**0.5 am = lambda a, b: (a + b)/2 hm = lambda a, b: 2*a*b/(a+b) chm = lambda a, b: (a**2 + b**2)/(a + …
The previous post describes the hoops I jumped through to enter Unicode characters on a Mac. Here’s a script to run from the command line that will copy Unicode characters to the system clipboard. It runs anywhere the Python module pyperclip runs. #!/usr/bin/env python3 import sys import pyperclip cp = …

A team of computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, led by Emery Berger, recently unveiled a prize-winning Python profiler called Scalene. Programs written with Python are notoriously slow—up to 60,000 times slower than code written in other programming languages—and Scalene works to efficiently identify exactly where Python is …
I was flipping through Gravitation [1] this weekend and was curious about an illustration on page 309. This post reproduces that graph. The graph is centered at Cairo, Egypt and includes triangles whose side lengths are the distances between cities. The triangles are calculated using only distances, not by measuring …
