Pi is beautiful


Continuing from my last blog post : I watched this video called "Pi is beautiful" and it inspired me to create my own pi art. With the help of my friend Bard I was able to get python code (or should I write pithon code) to get the job done. I sort of see a 9 as highlighted in the image above with gray pen tool. I used pydroid on my mobile and I had to correct a few errors in the code with Bard.

This was my prompt:

Take the first 1000 pi digits and create x,y coordinates with the adjacent digits and create a colorful visualisation with the coordinates. Increment the size and color everytime we land on a coordinate.

This was the code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import math

from PIL import Image
import io

# Get the first 1000 digits of pi
pi_digits = "141592..."

# Create coordinates and track frequencies
coordinates = []
frequency_map = {}  # Use a dictionary to track frequencies efficiently
for i in range(0, len(pi_digits) - 1, 2):
    pair = (int(pi_digits[i]), int(pi_digits[i + 1]))
    coordinates.append(pair)
    frequency_map[pair] = frequency_map.get(pair, 0) + 1000  # Increment frequency

# Create the scatter plot with size and colors based on frequencies
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.scatter(*zip(*coordinates), s=[frequency_map[pair] for pair in coordinates],
            c=[frequency_map[pair] for pair in coordinates], cmap='viridis')

# Add labels and title
plt.xlabel("X-coordinates from Pi Digits")
plt.ylabel("Y-coordinates from Pi Digits")
plt.title("Scatter Plot of Pi Digits with Size and Color by Frequency")

# Show the plot
plt.show()

The success of failure

It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
