Calculating the Digits of Pi: Benchmarking the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe (BBP) formula and the Chudnovsky algorithm Don’t judge me; what do you do on a Wednesday night? I asked ChatGPT to spit out some Python code to calculate pi to 1,000 digits. Then asked if it could speed it up. Computing the digits of π (pi) is…
I’ve been using an AI powered research tool: GPT Researcher One can take the code from GitHub and run it locally. I’ve been intrigued by how fast the tool can create reasonably useful output. As a test of the tool, I asked it to research: “What are the chances of the AMOC failing; and what is the timeframe…
I’ve been using an AI powered research tool: GPT Researcher One can take the code from GitHub and run it locally. I’ve been intrigued by how fast the tool can create reasonably useful output. As a test of the tool, I asked it to research: The tool ran for a couple minutes and provided the following (PDF at…
I’ve been using an AI powered research tool: GPT Researcher One can take the code from GitHub and run it locally. I’ve been intrigued by how fast the tool can create reasonably useful output. As a test of the tool, I asked it to research: “Which is better: Star Wars, or Star Trek?” The software ran for a…
I’ve been using an AI powered research tool: GPT Researcher One can take the code from GitHub and run it locally. I’ve been intrigued by how fast the tool can create reasonably useful output. I asked it to research p(doom) as related to AI: “Using recent scientific and peer reviewed online documents: Explain p(doom) and…
I created a python script to monitor an email address for inbound email and change the text of the body into speech. I used ChatGPT for the initial results (“Generate a python script to monitor an email address, and then use openai’s TTS API to convert it to audio and email it back to the…
I wanted to test some of the open source photo galleries. I used https://piwigo.org/ and have put many of my AI images on it. Note that some may be of questionable content; the tools I used to create images are uncensored and I left in many oddities that I thought are interesting to see. There…
I found great utility from ChatGPT for coding learning and assistance. This seems to be quite a bit better in practice with GPT-4o. I asked ChatGPT to create a swarm simulation using python, like the old ‘swarm’ screensaver. Then added a ‘hawk’ that catches them. When they are all caught, it restarts. When it was…
I recently opened an Etsy store. https://adrianhenslerphotos.etsy.com
There was a post in a Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/acdsee) asking how to add EXIF data to an image. The query was how to do this within ACDSee – this may be possible but I did not find the ability on a quick search. Seemed easy enough to do via command line. I started a…
