Function calling using LLMs

While LLMs excel at generating cogent text based on their training data, they may also need to interact with external systems. Function calling allows them to construct such calls. The LLM does not execute these calls directly, instead it creates a data structure that describes the call, passing that to a separate program for execution and further processing. The LLM's prompt includes de...

Asyncio Demystified: Rebuilding it From Scratch One Yield at a Time

The article demystifies Python’s asyncio by rebuilding its core concepts from scratch, starting with basic generators and coroutines, then constructing a cooperative multitasking scheduler, and finally integrating non-blocking I/O using custom awaitable Future objects. Through step-by-step code examples, it shows how Python’s async/await syntax is just syntactic sugar over these primitiv...

The REAL Reason You Should Use Type Hints in Python

This video explains that the true power of type hints in Python lies in how they encourage better code design by prompting developers to think more generically about data structures. The video also highlights the principle that inputs should be as generic as possible (contravariant), while outputs should be as specific as possible (covariant).
