cv2.imwrite/cv2.imread are faster than np.save/np.load on numpy matrices with integers
In one of the ongoing projects, I generate a lot of small matrices (~1000 entries). These are often written to the disk and read from it. I was trying to optimize this step since this step run in a REST api. The standard way is numpy.save and numpy.load which works fine.

argmax in pure Python
Python does not have an inbuilt argmax function. numpy does. Here is one implementation. def argmax(ls : list) -> int: _m, _mi = -math.inf, 0 # requires `import math` at top for i, v in enumerate(ls): if v > _m: _m = v _mi = i return _mi There is also a one-liner which I … Continue reading argmax in pure Python
