When we observe regularity in anything it pleasures us and helps us comprehend the nature of reality. Patterns are beautiful either in equations or Nature it makes us fell everything is in control and follows a certain framework Recognizing symmetry and relations between different ideas leads to understanding the world. In Math and Physics symmetry and patterns show up in places which we might have thought of as random. Observing Patterns are one of the most delightful activities to Mathemati...

You are reading this post on a computer and you were talking to your loved one on one of them and will probably have yourself entertained by a computer too. It’s a cliche to talk about how computers run our world these days and how important they are but do you truly understand what it is. I am not talking about understanding its inner workings which is certainly hard to understand and requires a good grasp of Maths but what it can empower us to do. Computers are some of the most fascinating ...

Everyone wants to feel good by helping in a nonprofit or donating money to charitable causes but only a small group of people want to know how their money is spent. Most of the money donated is squandered on consultation and exchanges or conversion loss. In the 2010s Red Cross had promised to build around 130,000 homes in Haiti after the earthquake had rendered so many people homeless but I will let you guess how effective they were..they only built around 6 homes. Most of the money is lost d...

Most people don't know about the unsung heroes who made today’s scientific discoveries possible and one of them was Aleksandr Ignatyevich Shargei . A dreamer by heart and an engineer by profession, He is the pioneer of Human space flight and aeronautics. He was one of the greatest visionaries humanity had ever seen Nasa had spent 18 months to map the best way possible but were unable to find one . Direct ascent wasn’t a viable option and That’s when the work of Shargei was valued . He ha...

AI is one of the most common buzzwords in tech today but the AI being used today in every device is not the true vision of the pioneers who introduced this concept. Some of the greatest Computer Pioneers asked these questions if ever a machine could think like us or ‘imitate us’ as Alan Turing put forward in his paper COMPUTING MACHINERY AND INTELLIGENCE. One of the most fundamental questions we have is “ what is consciousness” which we haven’t quite figured out yet. Finding the answer to thi...

Our driving force-curiosity has led us to places and help us accomplish things that ancestors wouldn't even have thought of. As more and more rocketry is being popularised by private companies we humans have started to make our dream of interplanetary species a reality. The universe is as big as our dreams to conquer it. The nearest star to us next to our sun is Proxima Centauri which is around 4.25 light-years away and at our current speeds, we would be able to cover that distance in ar...

This one will be different. Every year a million aspiring engineers and STEM lovers apply for an exam that they are made to think will decide their fate. More than a million 18-19-year-olds compete for less than 10 thousand IIT seats. Most of them have spent 2-3 years preparing for this day and are fixed on the thought that a question set will decide If they will be happy in their lives or not. This has been the story of probably very middle and lower-class STEM lovers in India who hope to sp...

When normal people think of machine learning, they imagine the terminator or the matrix but when computer geek thinks of ai , they imagine big gpu clusters and tpus ,but that is not helpful and reliable for our home or iot devices as it has a lot of latency and privacy concerns ,that’s where TinyML comes in to save ML. TinyML is mainly running ml on tiny devices which have power consumption less than milli watt and are super super cheap . No one needs to plug them to power source or check dai...

A Perceptron is the simplest type of neural net you can get. It’s just a single layer NN. Its structure is mainly inspired by the form of Human neurons and that’s why it’s also called “Artificial Neuron”.Perceptrons do binary classification like distinguishing a hot dog from not a hot dog. As they are single layered they can’t do much stuff but they are what lead to big deep neural nets. When tens and hundreds of these are stacked on one another they make deep learning neural networks that ar...

When I was about nine or ten years old, around 1959 or 1960, I was out on our fifth-floor back porch one sunny summer day, and I was looking out over the city park that our apartment building sat next to. I was watching two construction workers who were down the hill from me and approximately 200 yards away on the other side of the park. They were pounding an iron stake into the ground with an iron sledgehammer. One guy was holding on to the stake while the second guy did the hitting with the...

As Humans we have always pondered to go to the distant planets and colonize them . Now as private companies are planning to explore the space its been more popular than ever , But its hard to make other planets our next base as most planets don’t have earth like conditions . That’s where von Neumann probes come into scene. Here I will explain it in plain English - They are self replicating spacecrafts. One left in space will find a planet and exploit its resources to form others like it and o...

One of the books that have most changed the way I think is Thinking, Fast and Slow by Psychologist Daniel Kahneman. It goes to the fundamental level of Human Decision making and breaks down how we humans make our decisions. Even though it was a bit tough read as it had a lot of experiments and boring stuff but it just happens just for a little time. As this book was a bit long and hard read, it lead me to think about the experiments and assumptions made in the book while reading it. I have go...
