In the previous article Fascination with AWK we discussed why AWK is great for prototyping and is often the best alternative to the shell and Python. In this article I want to show you some interesting technical facts I learned about AWK.
=> ↺ The Open Letter to Stop 'Dangerous' AI Race Is a Huge Mess
More than 30,000 people—including Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, politician Andrew Yang, and a few leading AI researchers—have signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.
The letter immediately caused a furor as signatories walked back their positions, some notable signatories turned out to be fake, and many more AI researchers and experts vocally disagreed with the letter’s proposal and approach.

The missive also warns of political disruptions “especially to democracy” from AI: chatbots acting as humans could flood social media and other networks with propaganda and untruths. And it warned that AI could “automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones.”
The letter called on civic leaders — not the technology community — to take charge of decisions around the breadth of AI deployments.

Our code often relies on external dependencies. For example, even a simple hello-world program written in C depends on the C stdlib for the printf function. These external dependencies are expressed as symbolic references, which I will henceforth refer to as just symbols. Symbols are names of data or functions that have unknown addresses and are resolved or fixed up during the linking process.
=> ↺ Python Remove NaN from List
To remove NaN from a List in Python, the user needs to first detect it using the comparison operator, isnull(), and the isnan() method and then remove it.
=> ↺ Python Read File into List
In Python, the user can easily read a file’s data into a Python List using the file.read(), readlines(), and the loadtxt() method of the numpy package.
For Python, the user can utilize the repr() method, the str() method, and the join() method to easily convert a set into a Python string.
=> ↺ Nested If Statements in Python
When if statements are placed inside the body of other if statements to create hierarchical conditions, then these are known as nested If statements.
=> ↺ Python Generate Random Float Number
The random() method and the uniform() method can be used to generate random float numbers in Python. For this, first, import the “random” library.
In Python, the assignment operator “=”, the concatenation operator “+” and the string slicing methods can be used to copy a string from one variable to another.
=> ↺ Python Check if Character is Number
In Python, the user can check whether a character is a number or not by using the isdigit(), isnumeric() method or by using the type casting method.
