FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It offers several advantages: * High Performance: FastAPI is designed for speed, leveraging asynchronous programming to handle thousands of requests per second. * Automatic Documentation: It automatically generates interactive API documentation using Swagger UI and ReDoc. * Type Checking: FastAPI uses Python’s type hints to provide automatic data validation and serializ

When working with Python to interact with web APIs, especially when handling multiple requests, you’ve probably encountered some delays. Whether it’s downloading files, scraping data, or making requests to APIs, waiting for each task to finish can slow things down considerably. This is where asynchronous programming steps in to save the day, and one of the best tools in the Python ecosystem for this is the aiohttp library. If you're unfamiliar with asynchronous programming, don’t worry! I'll br

Introduction As data volumes continue to grow, one common approach in training machine learning models is batch training. This method involves splitting a dataset into smaller subsets or "batches," which are fed into the model one at a time. In this post, we shall explore three different techniques for splitting datasets into batches: * Creating a large tensor * Loading partial data with HDF5 * Using Python generators To illustrate, we will assume the model is a sound-based detector, but

Introduction Code autocompletion is an essential tool for developers, streamlining the coding process by offering real-time suggestions that help reduce typing errors and improve efficiency. However, traditional autocompletion tools often rely on static templates and rule-based methods, limiting their ability to adapt to the diverse coding practices and dynamic environments developers face today. Like many integrated development environments (IDEs), these tools typically feature built-in sugge
