Tesla's Cybertruck : Ambitious or Appalling ( In about 200 words )

I'm pretty sure that this post breaks the nearly 2 month-long silence on this blog. CBSE in conjunction with me being in grade 10 has chained me in an ecosystem where school academics takes the cake. I'm also experimenting with a new type of writing style ( trying to be more ... me ) with this post. This post is about Elon Musk's latest addition to his "portfolio of the future", Tesla's Cybertruck. ( PS. This intro is more of a message, not be counted in the word count, ... that's jarring :/)

23rd November was a rather special day for the Automobile Industry. Tesla has sort of been the pioneer of modern-day electrical and autonomous transport, but something so "out-there" ( Cybertruck ) was never anticipated by both enthusiasts and critics. Here's why:

Tesla's Cybertruck is their entry into the Pickup Truck sector of the Automobile Industry, a pretty sizeable chunk of automobiles on the road, especially in the US. Franz von Holzhausen, the man behind this vehicular design commented that Cybertruck was "their take on the Batmobile ". The design takes an extreme polygonal shape and boasts a very durable exoskeleton. It's best if we not talk about the "shatter-proof" glass ( Well covered by The Verge ) ... Anyway, the design is so queer, almost off-putting that the reception for this pickup truck has been divided into 2 very distinct segments: Despisers and Devotees.

According to the former, this design is similar to those drawn by kids when they are bored in math class. A majority of these "constructive criticisms" claim that the car is not aerodynamically smooth. This is issue has been put to bed by a CFD analysis ( by Justin Martin )which proves the aerodynamic feasibility of the car.

The other features of this pickup truck have been pretty well documented on the Internet, my favourite being the new navigation system and in-vehicle user interface. I'm really curious to know what you think. Shoot me a mail or comment on this post :)

Impact of Chatbots on Human Driven sectors of business

Chatbots are Machine Learning and Deep Learning powered programs that can conduct meaningful conversations. Most of them use technical attributes like Natural Language Processing and Context Analysis to converse with a human or another chatbot. The bot is programmed to self-learn as it is introduced to supplementary dialogues and words. In consequence, as a chatbot receives new voice or textual dialogues, the number of inquiries that it can reply and the accuracy of each response it gives increases. A Chabot can converse with the user through self-embedded messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger or through various flagship Assistants such as Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa. Nowadays, chatbots are being deployed in fields where their use clearly seemed to be obvious. Firms engaging in Financial Planning, Investment Management and Expense Tracking could reap a wide array of benefits when they make use of this technology. They can have a lasting impact on human-driven sec...

Recommender System using Python

Recommender systems are everywhere. Amazon recommends buys we like, google recommends searches, Youtube recommends systems and Facebook recommends people. All of these implementations describe Recommender Systems. There are 2 types of Recommender Systems. Collaborative Systems - Systems that recommend information based on what you like and what the others like. Content Based Systems- Based on what you have viewed This is a simple ML based recommender System in python. It uses the LightFM library as the dataset import numpy as np from lightfm import LightFM from fetch_lastfm import fetch_lastfm data = fetch_lastfm() model = LightFM( loss = ' warp ' ) model.fit(data[ ' matrix ' ], epochs = 30 , num_threads = 2 ) # Get recommendationns function def get_recommendations ( model , coo_mtrx , users_ids ): n_items = coo_mtrx.shape[ 1 ] for user in users_ids: # TODO create known positives # Artists the model pred...

Why online learning needs AI augmentation

With a large portion of schools having moved to online based learning through platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, students are required to grasp concepts in a one-dimensional online medium as opposed to a constructive and collaborative class environment. Being a student during the pandemic, I have first hand experience with the mundane manner of teaching- and why we need to augment this with Artificial Intelligence algorithms. In a classroom, teachers can somehow manage to personalise some parts of learning or pay attention to weak students. However, in an online medium, with all the latency issues and network constraints, also moving in a general pace can be tough. Therefore for online learning,AI can be key, by providing a personalised learning path for the students. Using algorithms like NLP ( Natural Language Processing ), the online class can be transcribed according to the student's intellectual levels. AI, in this case, can make a specific-tailored learning path ...
