Did you notice that I am interested with/attracted by Artificial Intelligence? Among various tests, here is a nice little resulting application for digital photographers. I finally found how to significantly (x4) increase the resolution of my photographic pictures (upscaling) without loss of details. An AI allowed me to recreate the “missing pixels” to build a…
I just wanted to start playing with something similar to ChatGPT. I have a Windows 10 PC based on Intel i9-13900K (so pretty much top of the line in terms of performance both for single core and for multicore) and 64 GB of DRAM (a bit over what most people have, but I understood from the…

Designed to help in a computer science and algorithms teaching course, these are great ideas of algorithm descriptions using only simplified drawings and no word (styled like Ikea assembly instructions). I love them. Idea-instructions.
It seems that I can help some readers with a library of information about GDPR, the new (in May 2018) European Regulation about Privacy and the handling Personal Data on web sites.
