This web content explores OpenAI’s Structured Output feature, demonstrating how to extract data from financial disclosure reports and police blotters using the Python SDK and pydantic for schema definition. The results show efficiency in data extraction even with minimal schema definition effort. OpenAI’s API offers cost-effective solutions for large-scale data gathering from public documents. The […]
A study led by experts at Newcastle University’s Coralassist Lab has shown that selective breeding can modestly improve coral heat tolerance in adult corals to survive marine heat waves. Although the breeding effort was successful, the improvement was not enough to keep pace with future warming under climate change. Dr. James Guest emphasizes the need […]
Timezones and daylight saving time can be a headache for scheduling and travel, especially for developers. Dive deep into the complexity of time handling with Colin E., exploring the IANA database and historical shifts in time management. Discover surprising facts about the evolution of timezones, from local town time to global standards proposed by Sir […]
OpenAI’s o1 model sparked discussions about its capabilities. AlphaCodium, a tool developed by Qodo, aims to enhance code generation. AlphaCodium employs a multi-stage flow and iterative process to improve accuracy in solving coding problems. When paired with OpenAI’s o1 model, AlphaCodium showed significant improvement in performance. While o1 demonstrates some reasoning capabilities beyond instinct, it […]
Proof assistants like Lean have transformed mathematical proof verification, ensuring precise results. However, the advancement of large language models (LLMs) in formal theorem proving is limited by insufficient training data. To tackle this, a new approach generates a vast amount of Lean 4 proof data from high-school and undergraduate math competition problems. By translating natural […]
Clipscreen is a straightforward application that creates a virtual monitor mirroring a specified part of your screen, indicated by a green rectangle. This handy tool allows you to share this virtual monitor instead of your whole screen during screen sharing sessions. To use Clipscreen, ensure you have X11 development libraries, Cairo graphics library, and a […]

The author shares their thoughts on CSS and how they often refer to MDN for information. They discuss the @scope rule in CSS, highlighting the shift from styling with classes to scoped CSS directly attached to HTML elements. They provide examples of how @scope works and its benefits in reducing dead CSS code. The article […]
AM radio broadcast uses amplitude modulation, where changes in the carrier wave’s amplitude carry the signal. FM radio broadcast, invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong, uses frequency modulation, where changes in the frequency of the carrier wave carry the signal. Armstrong’s prediction that FM would be less affected by noise was proven correct, as noise tends […]
