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 :)

Making AI Play Games

The Artificial Intelligence era has started only a while ago and it is drastically augmenting and amplifying our lives But in this sphere of development, the developers have had a big problem to test their AI. This is where great minds like Elon Musk step in and create adroit and efficient resources to test the Intelligence that we create. His vision and aspiration led to the start of OpenAI, a free open source library and a company specializing in research. They create toolkits for Deep Learning developers like us to deploy models and make AI play games. This helps us to analyze the power of the intelligence by simulating game environments.  OpenAI provides enthusiasts with 2 toolkits to work with Gym - Toolkit for comparing and developing deep reinforcement learning algorithms... Universe - A collection of gym environments to train and measure an AI's general intelligence... Today we are going to write a simple script in python to help build a ...

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 ...
