Getting Started with Rust: A Language Built for Safety

Why Rust? Rust has been Stack Overflow’s most loved programming language for several years running. Let’s explore what makes it special. Memory Safety Without Garbage Collection One of Rust’s most notable features is its guarantee of memory safety without using a garbage collector. This is achieved through its ownership system: fn main() { let s1 = String::from("hello"); let s2 = s1; // s1 is moved to s2 // println!("{}", s1); // This would cause a compile error println!("{}", s2); // This works fine } Zero-Cost Abstractions Rust provides high-level features without runtime overhead: ...

Machine Learning Fundamentals: A Beginner's Guide

Introduction to Machine Learning Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience. Types of Machine Learning Supervised Learning Unsupervised Learning Reinforcement Learning Simple Classification Example Here’s a basic example using scikit-learn: from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier import numpy as np # Sample data X = np.array([[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 1], [4, 4]]) y = np.array([0, 0, 1, 1]) # Split data X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split( X, y, test_size=0.25, random_state=42 ) # Train model knn = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=3) knn.fit(X_train, y_train) # Make predictions predictions = knn.predict(X_test) Key Concepts Feature Selection Model Training Cross-Validation Overfitting vs Underfitting Model Evaluation Stay tuned for more machine learning tutorials! ...
