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...

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 ...

Hey Everyone, I'm sorry for keeping this blog dry for the 2 past two months, I'm a class 10 student in the CBSE Board here in India, so naturally, all my time is devoted to mundane academic preparation. This blog will not see another post till April, but before I sign off, I wanted to tell everyone my goals and plans for 2020:- Start a podcast ( most probably ), which will mainly revolve around economics, business and tech with some tidbits and updates from my life. Launch my first ever web-product called Nadia. It's already under development. Will share a snapshot of the UI :) I'm hoping to blog a lot more, hopefully, 3 posts a month Read at least 25-30 books Sketch a lot more :P Nadia in its nascent stages Will improve on this surely ...
