A watch with GRI and my first experience of full interaction with electronics
For this project, I used EasyEDA to track the PCB for the project and ordered it from JLCPCB. I prepared the components, checked the code and soldered them to the board, however, I realized that the GRI indicators did not work, and at that time I could not find 4 more that work.
Fingerprint Reader
I decided that I would share with you not only what represents the range of my scientific interests today, but also my developments from the past. Since childhood, I spent a lot of time in scientific research, read a lot and was in the state of a researcher. Having intentions to transform the world, to create benefits in it, I was up to a certain extent to creativity. Since childhood, I have loved not only working with code, but also making prototypes with my own hands. With this publication, perhaps, I will open a series of posts about my inventions that I managed to bring to life. Today I will tell you about one of my most stimulating STEM experiences. This was participation in a neural network programming project led by MIT graduate Ryan M. Sander. The goal was to build a working neural network in Python using the Keras…
Visualization using AI
You probably noticed that all my publications have one common feature? Yes, it certainly didn’t seem to you: I create all the illustrations for my publications using neural networks. And since I have given myself and my readers the word that I will share the benefits, I can’t help but share with you an overview of some free services that use artificial intelligence to generate images. To get the generated image, you need to fill in only two information fields. In the first, you need to make a description of what you want to get at the output, and in the second, you need a hint. Another online photo editor with a huge number of users around the world, now also with an AI-based image generator. It’s incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is provide text hints, the AI will instantly convert them into images. You can…
“Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence “
A book by Max Tegmark, Swedish-American cosmologist and astrophysicist, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is a fascinating popular science book in which he examines possible scenarios for the development of events in the event of the appearance of super intelligent AI on our planet. The author provides an analysis of all the pros and cons of these very real prospects and encourages specialists to join forces in the fight for cybersecurity and the “friendliness” of artificial intelligence. Have you ever thought about ethical issues in AI programming?
My personal Book list
Science, as we know, does not exist in a vacuum. How often a scientist lacks only one element for his own discovery, which has already become the result of long efforts of colleagues on the other side of the world. And sometimes only one thought is missing for a scientific discovery, which each of us can learn in books. I often use the recommendations of my friends in choosing books – and I decided that I would also share books that impressed me and, to a certain extent, directed the vector of my scientific thought in the right direction. Today I want to tell you about a book that left an imprint in my mind and forced me to formulate the right questions to myself: why am I researching the possibilities of artificial intelligence? What is the soul? And how can we humans, by and large, differ from AI if…
Why do I need a blog?
The most valuable thing a person can do in life is not just to make a scientific discovery or create a unique prototype. In my deep conviction, the most valuable thing in science is to transfer your knowledge and inventions to the world. Only the possibility of applying the latest developments fills them with meaning and benefits. Service to the world and society is the main motive in the life of a scientist. I am filled with the results of my painstaking work on personal projects, and the opportunity to share my work for the benefit of others gives an impetus to development. I read a lot, mostly scientific or semi-scientific literature. It impresses me with what a powerful spirit of service to the world-famous bestselling authors share with their readers the results of their life’s work. Knowledge has meaning and benefits if it is transmitted, which is why I…
Mining. Part 4. Advantages and disadvantages
The topic of ether mining has been at the top of my scientific research for more than five years. Of course, I would like to tell both novice miners and those who simply expand their horizons, and some technical nuances in creating farms. If you are interested in learning about my experience, I will be happy to answer your questions in the comments. Write what could be useful for you. And today I decided to tell you what I see the advantages and disadvantages (without which, of course, you can’t do without in any business) of ether production. Let’s start with the advantages that are obvious to me, which are as follows: However, as in any business, the production of ether also has disadvantages. First of all, it is the instability of the exchange rate. Due to high volatility, the exchange rate often changes. What else would you like to…
Mining. Part 3. Solo or Pool
When I first became interested in the topic of mining, I read a lot not only about how solo innovators like me create farms at home, but also how this industry is developing in the world against the background of competition. Over time, the so-called solo mine becomes not so effective. Even if the computer has high power, it will not be able to unravel the block and get the cryptocurrency when the block appears. Miners around the world are coming to combine several PCs into pools and thus carry out joint industrial production of ether, increasing efficiency. This year, the market capitalization of Bitcoin, for example, has reached one trillion. This inspired some bitcoin transactions to expand. The mining ban in China has caused a mass exodus, and some mining companies are moving their facilities to the United States. Rockland, Texas, has created the largest bitcoin farm in North…
Mining. Part 2. Mining software
Promised to tell us more about his experience of creating a solo mining farm. Perhaps my experience will be useful to novice miners or those who are just interested in the topic of cryptocurrencies. An important aspect in this case is the software. There are many myths here, I will try to tell you that even a schoolboy can really “product” ether, as it was in my personal experience back in 12 years. At the moment, there are several programs available that allow you to engage in mining: There are also some additional requirements for mining ether on a video card, for example: you will need Windows 7 or a newer version. In addition, the video card must have at least 2-3 GB of memory, although I think it is easier to achieve optimal results with an indicator of 4 GB. Do not forget about updating drivers. The motherboard of…
Mining. Part 1. Features of the “production” of ether
I have been deeply interested in the topic of digital currency development for a long time, and I am convinced that in the coming years these issues will be reflected not only in the private crypto business, but also in the transformation of the approach of advanced states in terms of regulating this industry. I have already told you before that at the age of 12 I managed to assemble a home installation for mining. How it was, you can see in the release of the television program “SABA”, of which I became a guest back in 2018. Of course, then it was something completely new and needed clarification. Today I want to tell you in simple words about the complex and multi-level process of mining ether. It is recommended to start mining with solo mining without special equipment. In order to make money on the production of ether, it…
