Pip and its installation on windows

The python software pip is a replacement for *easy_install* .One may say it as a wrapper for easy_install, and indeed it is.
It is used mainly to provide installation for python packages.

First method:

Step 1>Download the last easy installer for Windows that fits your installed python version: (download the .exe at the bottom of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ). Install it.
Step 2>Add c:\Python2x\Scripts to the Windows path (replace Python2x with the correct directory)
Step 3>Open a new (!) DOS prompt. From there run easy_install pip
For the 64 bit operating system refer to this link

Second method:
Step 1>Download the last pip version from here:
Step 2>Uncompress it
Step 3>Download the last easy installer for Windows: (download the .exe at the part of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ). You can install it directly.
Step 4>Go to the uncompressed pip directory from the command prompt and type:
python setup.py install
Step 5>Add your python c:\Python2x\Scripts to the path
You are done.

Now you can use pip install package to easily install packages like you do in Linux :))

How to create a bootable USB pendrive in Linux

If it was windows, it would be much easier ...for we have the universal USB installer.

So lets see how we shall do it. >Open the terminal . >Now type: sudo apt-get install gparted ......This will install the tool ...well and good if you had it from before. >Now type: sudo apt-get install-3g ( gparted installed this as default for me...just see if it did for you). >Now open the tool via: System>Administration>Gparted Partition Tool >Now you are almost done....Click the File and choose the drive for the particular USB. >Right click on the drive when it is enlisted. See Manage Flag menu and click to enable boot. >Now go to Partition menu at the top panel and format the drive as ntfs . This will keep the work as pending operation ...click the cor...

Behind the Scenes: How Generative AI Creates Music, Art, and Stories

When Machines Dream We’re living in a world where machines don’t just compute—they create. Generative AI is writing novels, composing symphonies, and painting pictures. But what’s really going on behind the screen? This post pulls back the curtain to reveal how generative AI actually creates —from writing a bedtime story to composing a lo-fi beat. Whether you're a curious creator or tech enthusiast, you’ll see the art of AI through a new lens. What is Generative AI, Really? Generative AI uses machine learning models—especially neural networks—to generate new content based on learned patterns. Trained on vast datasets, these models produce original music, images, and text based on user prompts. 1. How AI Writes Stories (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) Step-by-step: You give a prompt: “Write a story about a lonely robot who finds a friend in the forest.” The model (like ChatGPT) draws on its training data to predict and generate the most likely next word, sentence, or paragr...
