“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

Several years ago, you may remember a post describing our increasing reliance on machines, devices, and “artificial intelligence.” On several occasions, I have attempted to spread awareness of the phenomenon of AI’s abilities to create and/or recreate itself… over and over again. What was once a “science fiction” story has become science fact in vivid color.

The article, “Device Depends on Device”, described instances and descriptions in which robots or robots have been designed to mimic the actions, capabilities, and appearance(s) of the human race… “human-like”; “The image of its creator!”

How many times have you been in your car and engaged in a shouting match or argumentative interaction with a “GPS” or “on-board interface?” Oh, come on now… didn’t you get angry and yell at the device when the voice behind it gave you wrong or wrong directions? sure you have.

Contributing author Celine Yeager talks about a doctoral student at Stanford University who specializes in human-technology interaction.

“We (humans) are confused and angry because we don’t know what a ‘global positioning system’ is,” says David Miller.

However, this author (your right) is and continues to be guilty of this particular type of conduct. The damn thing told me I was remembering to enter a direction (when that wasn’t satisfactory, I tried using the voice command option); He directed me to take a highway and get out… I followed suit. When I realized the directions were completely wrong – the damn sound put us on “Highway to Hell!”

We drove sixty miles out and away from our planned destination, Pocono Mountain.

Well, I’m here to tell you, I momentarily (oh, like many) went insane and started screaming so loudly inside the “GPS system”. Miller went on to say, “In the future, when GPS gives you directions, it might give you a rationale, so that you have a better two-way relationship.”

… Yes, correct. I’m happy when something gets me to my unfamiliar destination(s)… via the right path! I don’t mean to be hard on the device…it’s a very good little tool when it works as expected.

“A Bite Of The Apple” addressed the “IT” community on major issues related to Apple’s stance on “secret and proprietary practices” in the tech world; Hardware and software – especially its hardware products. Apple’s “IT” decision makers embrace an ergonomic flaw that reveals a preference, they said, “Apple-like” form over function, that is, the iMAC connectors on the back of their devices are designed and/or identified by anal retention.

Their IT management team describes a possible meaning of the term “anal retention”. It is a point on a curve at which the curvature changes from convex to concave or vice versa. It may also be called a “flex point” or “inflection point”. Apple management says its proprietary devices put more sway in marketing to business users. Apple devices are making their way into the enterprise arena because IT managers, not users, love them.

The End User report confirms the fact, indicating that the product(s) are good and excellent in terms of ease of use, design and reliability. Does anyone remember the definition of cloning?

Many of us have computers in our homes today. And there are many others who feel that they are, and believe that they are taking a step further while using home robots like “Alexa” or “Watson” from IBM and the myriad of cloned devices that clean, monitor and orchestrate their daily lives or lifestyles.

Where is your cell phone?

It used to be the desktop computer that served as the central “internet” connection. Then it was the “laptop”. The “tablet” is still very popular these days, but the “smart phone” is beating them all. All one has to do is just look around… look and see how many people walk, run, ride, drive, and fly… depend on those constantly uninterrupted devices to sustain their existence, their lives on this planet.

Not long ago, a vicious computer virus took control of around 400,000 computers across more than 160 countries in one of the world’s worst cyber attacks and computer infections.

The virus blocks all access to programs, files, mainframes, and networks unless the computer owner(s) pays a ransom. Collectible money can only be paid by “Bitcoin”.

Bitcoin is an online currency that is almost impossible to track. Bitcoin is traded for the purchase of a “ransom key”. Oftentimes, victims pay money just to not get the key to unlock their computers (or) systems, thus losing their money and data.

This incident should serve as a major wake-up call for users with the much encouraged “must do” action(s) on computers and internet devices in their care or use, preventing viruses, botnets, web crawlers, malware, worms, etc.

I certainly agree with the author, Doug Shadel, in suggesting that users/owners regularly back up your important files to an external drive or a remote storage service; have a popup blocker running on your web browser at all times; immediately leave websites to which you were directed without your consent; use a reputable antivirus program – keep it up to date at all times; Make sure your software (and antivirus) is up to date; Don’t click on links or open attachments from email addresses you don’t know; Buy only legitimate software – and register it.

Remember the scene in Star Wars where the bar owner yells at Luke Skywalker to get his droids out of his establishment?

This scene is the result of human prejudices against machines or the robot type. Detroit, Michigan’s auto industry and workforce are all run entirely by robots (or robots). Robots perform major operations on humans and animals alike. Robots prepare foods, package and ship items, drive cars, and diagnose human illnesses and diseases. Bots answer phones and forward calls. Bots call you on your phones, remind you of overdue bills and appointments, pick up prescriptions, and make attempts to sell you other goods and services. Robots build bridges, buildings and houses. Robots do anything and everything a human or animal can and has been doing. Ask yourself… how many jobs have been lost and lost to robots?

“Many companies use sentiment analysis to measure mood on social networks and/or the web…but gaining insight requires new methods and skills,” said Techweb’s Doug Henchen.

“It definitely takes new tactics and skill sets in order to land a position in the new world of IT, business intelligence, communications, and analytics.” This conclusion was posited by the published article, “Destruction and Creation – A New Hyperfunctionality.” No one can deny the enormous and great changes that have taken place in the “New World Economy” of this century. What will happen in the next centuries – will we be like Star Trek? How about a world and future like that from “Logan’s Run?” Will robots become judges, lawyers, congressional appointees, senators, or the president? Those of us who are knowledgeable about, interested in, and/or motivated in or toward humanity’s continued dominance over machines must become masters of both aspects of IT/BI.

Artificial intelligence: artificial intelligence… contrasted with natural (human/animal-like) intelligence…the ability of a computer or robot to do what humans or animals naturally or commonly do—with intelligent intelligence or abilities…the ability to reason.

How long will it be before humans (of the human type) are completely brainwashed by “artificial intelligence” – becoming our full and complete substitutes instead of our servants all at once?

“How long? Not long!”

Now, doesn’t that argument make you wonder…

“Artificial intelligence”… of the human type?

“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

Until next time…

“G”

What is computer science and engineering? https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/what-is-computer-science-and-engineering/ https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/what-is-computer-science-and-engineering/#respond Sat, 22 Jul 2023 11:47:40 +0000 https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/what-is-computer-science-and-engineering/ First of all we have to know, what is computer science and engineering?

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is a combination of two fields, Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

Custom Search Engine is a topic that generally deals with computer hardware and software. It covers a variety of topics related to computations, such as abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammar, and topics such as programming languages, software design, software, and computers. It includes software design (assemblies, operating systems) and hardware design (RAM, CPU, etc.). In other words, this is the study of computers which gives information about hardware and operating systems like registers, multitasking kernels, data buses, address buses etc. This branch of engineering is the study of computing principles that help an individual understand how computers solve problems. As a computer professional, an individual can find a job in many environments in academia, research, industry, government, and private and commercial organizations. The role of a computer engineer is to analyze problems for solutions, formulate, test, and work in teams to develop products, multimedia equipment, and much more. After doing a computer science course, one can research various fields such as artificial intelligence, computer design and architecture, computer architecture, information technology, software engineering, computer theory, operating systems, networks and software applications.

At CSE, we study the principles of engineering that involve the design, engineering, development, integration, and testing of a computer system at almost all levels. This branch of engineering also includes applied areas of mathematics and science, electrical and electronics theory, materials engineering and programming fundamentals. Computer science and engineering students will learn basic engineering techniques, like other engineering students, during the first-year course. These techniques include engineering mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering drawing. From the second year they are exposed to basic computer science topics such as programming, data structures, digital logic, theoretical computer science, algorithms, computer networks, operating systems, web technologies, databases, and computer architecture. CSE is associated with the invention and development of software and hardware.

This is really an excellent field for both postgraduate and software company opportunities. As computing has been widely applied in almost every sphere of life, it has created huge jobs for CSE students. At the same time, more demand and application has kept research funding alive and attracted many students to choose graduate studies.

Pool practice against a machine? https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/pool-practice-against-a-machine/ https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/pool-practice-against-a-machine/#respond Sat, 22 Jul 2023 07:55:57 +0000 https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/pool-practice-against-a-machine/ Billiards is a fun sport because anyone can play it, even if you have a few drinks. It is a fun and interesting game to play when you bet your friends for a little extra and play money. But before you get too cocky, there might be a new kid on the block who might be a lot more difficult to get over than the friends you used to play with at the local pool hall.

There was a great article on NewScientist TV, along with a video titled; “Born to Go Viral: A Billiards Robot Rivals Humans,” appeared on June 9, 2011 and there were articles all over the science news circuit. Article states;

“Sharks beware: the new robot will give you a run for your money. It’s certainly not the fastest player but it has completed 400 shots with an 80 percent success rate with two arms that can move seven different ways. Above-the-table cameras track the position of the balls and cue, and feed that information into the robot’s computers. It decides the best move, calculates the coordinates, and shoots them.”

On the MIT Technology Review blog web on the MIMS blog, another write-up was posted on June 11, 2011 titled; “How Robots Will Beat Humans at Pool” by Christopher Mims where he writes;

“Pool makes Chess and Jeopardy seem like a children’s game – all the more reason to develop new technologies – and further humiliate mankind – by meeting this unique computational challenge.”

Watching the operation of this automated system, it appears to have very little trouble making direct shots. Its accuracy isn’t 100% bank shots of the wall, but it’s close, and better than me. Maybe not better than a professional player, but he can certainly compete against anyone in any of the pool halls I’ve ever been to. This new device may work well for pool hall owners because it allows humans to challenge it, and possibly win a prize if they can beat it. At the moment he has his own software, no AI, so he doesn’t get better whenever he plays, he always plays at the same level.

However, I expect in the future to add artificial intelligence to this unit, and it will be very difficult to beat the improvement after each mistake or win, focusing on its absolute accuracy. The fact that they can easily perform these calculations, and repeat them, as if it were nothing more than a simple task, is a little annoying to anyone who has tried to master the game. However, this is the future we will see in the future.

I’m really surprised we haven’t seen more pool bots appear in sci-fi movies. This robot looked like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s current technology, it’s out there, and it’s pretty damn good. It’s real, this is a hoax shoot, or an ambitious project to make a viral video. In fact, I hope you go to YouTube and look it up, and see what you think. Seems like something that would be great to practice and improve your pool skills. Please consider all this and think about it.

Science and technology – a form of knowledge and a method of investigation https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/science-and-technology-a-form-of-knowledge-and-a-method-of-investigation/ https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/science-and-technology-a-form-of-knowledge-and-a-method-of-investigation/#respond Sat, 22 Jul 2023 07:40:44 +0000 https://colegiosarenasgrancanaria.com/index.php/2023/07/22/science-and-technology-a-form-of-knowledge-and-a-method-of-investigation/ Science and technology are forms of knowledge used for various purposes within a society. Science is the knowledge that society uses to understand the natural world while technology is the knowledge that society uses to survive in the natural world. Using these definitions, it is understood that society serves as a background for the dissemination of these forms of knowledge and that they should be studied in the context of society. Society also determines the shape and direction of science and technology through three main factors – environment (geography, etc.), historical experience and lifestyle. A notable example of the influence of society in shaping the shape of science and technology is the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Its precarious position between its hostile country, North Korea, and its former colonial master, Japan, has provided the impetus for its continued efforts to establish a strong scientific and technological capability. The historical experience of South Korea as one of the poorest countries in the world during the 1960s also contributed to its development of electronics, semiconductor devices and robots in order to enhance its economic resources.

The history of science as knowledge goes back to ancient times when natural philosophers such as Thales of Miletus and Democritus observed and theorized events in the natural world. It was in the places where Islam was practiced that science first emerged. Eventually, science gained momentum in Europe when the Protestant Reformation emerged which emphasized the value of individualism in the search for explanations for various natural phenomena. Then this era of science was replaced by the occurrence of the scientific revolution three centuries ago when science developed into what is known today. According to Michael Mosley’s The Story of Science, the Renaissance which paved the way for an unprecedented influx of scientific discovery and invention and the Reformation which opened the minds of Europe to the individual search for knowledge are the two main factors that act as catalysts for the Scientific Revolution. This revolution began in Prague where Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, two prominent astrologers of the Middle Ages, began making their own astronomical and planetary observations that eventually debunked the geocentric view of the Earth and transformed it into a heliocentric view of the Earth. Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei led the scientific revolution to its climax.

In defining the term knowledge, it should be noted that legitimate knowledge is information that can be processed by human senses, externally verifiable by others, and supported by acceptable evidence. In Habermas’ classification of knowledge, it is said that knowledge is classified into three, namely: empirical knowledge, historical knowledge, and critical knowledge. Empirical knowledge is concerned with understanding the material world, historical knowledge is concerned with understanding the meaning of historical texts, and critical knowledge is concerned with revealing sources of domination. Scientific knowledge can be classified under empirical knowledge. Therefore, it can be conjectured that scientific knowledge is not the only form of legitimate knowledge and that there are other forms of knowledge. Literature is one such form of knowledge. In the poet’s way of knowing Louis, poetry is cited as a form of literature and that it works in a field closed to science. The language used scientifically cannot describe a landscape or a face. It is said that literature improves us by showing us images of perfection which is the end of all earthly learning which is a virtuous act. Therefore, literature is said to be complementary to science because what literature cannot do and vice versa. Literature as knowledge is empirical, hermeneutical, and critical knowledge all at the same time.

After defining knowledge, the question arises of how to create the new knowledge. This question is answered through the scientific method in which science acts as a method of research. The basic technique of the scientific method is observation that uses the five human senses to gather qualitative data about the natural world. The scientific method consists of identifying and defining a problem, formulating and testing a hypothesis. This method is geared towards discovering facts and principles. This knowledge is produced scientifically through empirical verification – using empirical data and observations to confirm the truth or rational justification of a hypothesis. Although the scientific method offers a reliable method for research to produce new knowledge, it also has its share of drawbacks. Some of these drawbacks include its inability to capture phenomena in their natural setting, the possibility of flawed design or its manipulation, the fact that not everything can be subjected to experiment, and the limitations presented by scientific equipment and resources.

Science and technology allow humans to understand the natural world and survive. The scientific method is used to produce new scientific knowledge. Modern civilization is founded on the scientific and technological achievements of the past which makes science and technology indispensable in today’s era. However, scientific knowledge which is a type of empirical knowledge is not the only form of knowledge in the world because it has certain limitations. One of the other forms of knowledge is literature – empirical, hermeneutical and critical at the same time. Science and literature complement each other. Finally, science is a form of knowledge and it is also a method of research.
