CIS291_Week3Discussion_post2_2023

While distance learning was easy for me, it became challenging when I had to help my kids

make that transition. The challenging part was trying to help them over the phone while I

was at work. I was still considered essential, so I didn't have the option to stay home. So I

became their teacher as well while being guided by their actual teachers. We just hope to see

the light at the end of tunnel and hope to resume our normal daily lives again. The article

that I decided to write about is, In the Future, “AIs—Not Humans—Will Design Our

Wireless Signals” by Joe Downey, Ben Hilburn, Tim O’Shea and Nathan West. I work in

the telecommunications industry, so I am very aware of how things are always evolving and

changing. The article makes light of the fact that with every generation the demand for

which can help us be more accurate and efficient. The use of AI in telecom has and is being

used by NASA, no surprise there. I think that telecom engineers working with AI will be the

norm in the future. The article that I chose this week from the IEEE spectrum. Is on how

online learning kept higher Ed during the Coronavirus crisis.I chose this article because of of

course the current events. And to also think about the world on how things have changed the

last three months. And pretty much nothing will not be the same after all this is said and

done.The article basically explains that the world changed as far as education. Campuses and

universities pretty much closed down. And pretty much find an alternative for students to

continue their education.Which they explain more in detail of professors and students

converting over to online learning.In my personal opinion this is great for people like me.

But not only just me but especially for someone that’s younger that does not have to put

their education on hold.One of the main issues were stated as far as adjusting to it. Specially

for those that are not familiar with teaching a class online.But ,it clearly states after a while

learn and teach online. While others felt as though they were rather be in a classroom on

campus. Having a more face-to-face interaction with each other.Even though all online

learning has been around for quite some time. It also comes with a few problems as well.Of

course not everybody has access to a computer or Wi-Fi. Most common troubles you have

with online classes is software .You may come across no problem as far as web browser.

impossible for a normal computer. Its crazy to think with all the technology that we already

have there is so much more that we can still unlock. One of the problems with quantum

computers is that in order to function they need to be ran at a very cold temperature. Right

now a Quantum computer runs at 1 Kelvin, one team of researchers were able to run a

Quantum computer at 1.5 Kelvin making it considered "hot". To us it really may seem like a

small minute step but in the larger picture of things its a successful step of progress. These

computers are a long way from being able to be put in your home. We must also remember

how large the first computers were, and how far we have come since then. I'm sure in the

future we will have quantum computers similar to what we are using as phones now. The

article that I have picked from the IEEE Spectrum page is about how networked science has

surfaced with 81 potential COVID-19 therapies. Network science has been a thing since

2007. It is the science of interconnected relationships among large groups to gain and give

information about a topic or in this case, Covid-19. From what the article states, that patients

usually have a hard time breathing but also, they have lost the sense of taste and smell. This

is critical to anyone that has had symptoms of the virus. We live in a time where its kind of

scary thinking about doing anything with people around. I know where I work, we had 2

confirmed cases and I had to quarantine myself for 2 weeks because I was showing

symptoms, but my 3-month-old son was as well. I know that a lot of businesses are not

happy about not being open but my question to them is: Is it worth opening today and maybe

interesting how this article states that it will have practically zero latency between image

captures and its processing, also to include low power consumption. This will also lower

cost and this can also help with IoT (internet of things) devices to run for longer on a single

charge in the future ( wearables, toys, cameras and smart appliances). This meant a lot to me

because there are plenty of times when I have to connect things to my computer and either

faults occur or it just takes to long to download the software i need for a certain device. "

This smart image sensor uses digital signal processing of a machine learning algorithms to

decode what it sees". The article I chose to read was "Why Wi-Fi Stinks—and How to Fix

It" by Terry Ngo. In this article, it explains as to why Wi-Fi signals seem to slow down so

much and so often. Because data travels along the "wireless highway" it's common for there

to be a traffic jam of sorts when, according to Ngo(2020), "6.4 billion connected devices are

in use around the globe". (para.2) Ngo(2020) also explains that when two "conversations"

between devices collide then all of them go silent and try again later. (para.8) The more

often conversations collide then the longer it takes them to try and repeat the process, and

with so many people using wi-fi, it's no wonder as to why "congestion has gotten so bad in

many regions that it has pretty much made the 2.4-GHz band unusable for transferring data

at high rates." (Ngo, 2020 para.9) By reading this I learned that if I'm helping someone

troubleshoot any internet problems they're having then it may not be their computer acting

up. Instead, it could just be high-traffic hours in their area or they have an outdated internet

be to add more silicon, but with the complexity and cost going up this solution may no

longer be viable. A more viable solution be worked on and researched by ISSCC, AMD,

Intel, and the French research organization CEA-Leti is processors being made up of

collections of smaller and less-expensive-to-produce chiplets bound together by high-

bandwidth connections within a single package. The end goal of this research is to allow

chiplets from multiple vendors to all be integrated with little effort, with the help of

standardized interfaces. Which would result in cheaper, more flexible mix-and-match

systems. One way i could see this being useful in troubleshooting computers is the flexibility

of the processor used in the motherboard.

The article I read from the IEEE Spectrum was about How Facebook is Using AI to Fight

COVID-19 Misinformation and how Facebook details the weapons deployed against fake

corona virus news. The article covered how Facebook is using Artificial Intelligence to

properly ensure that their website platform is producing correct news on the COVID-19

coverage while filtering out and removing any false information on the pandemic. In

addition, the article covered how scammers are using Facebook during these times to

promote products that are considered in high demand to protect yourself from the virus, but

ultimately are taking your money and providing no products at all. The part of the article

that interested me the most is how the scammers are using different images and changing the

power. It was about a professor in Carmel Indiana working with the local government to

retrofit five trucks owned by the city. This type of hydrogen system is different in how it is

used, instead of having tank or using hydrogen that doesn’t burn so clean it uses water and

an aluminum pod. Using this system makes 15% better fuel mileage and 20% less carbon

dioxide. Later in the article it talks about how this isn’t the only invention he has made

better back in the 1960’s he helped make the common LED we use a lot better. This made

me think of how I can use what I read to help me troubleshoot. I thought about a new way

to streamline the approach of trouble shooting from recording faults I have had and

corrected into a word document. Also look all around the affected system to see if anything

else could have failed or even have the potential to failing in the near future. The topic I am

choosing is "Aerospace." It is more the field that I would love to work. I love to fly or

anything that has to do with flying! Flying a helicopter in the Army was one of my goals

that I did not accomplish in my life. If I could get a job a NASA, that would be awesome. I

learned about how UPS is wanting to deliver Amazon packages with drones. I have been

hearing about this for a while now, but I know United States has strict flying laws that

makes a lot of hoops for them to get it approved. They are also wanting to use it for

medication delivery witch I think that would help and also save lives. I am actually wanting

to get one myself to recreational use and I know some people has their negative thoughts

about drones spying on them and others, but that is not what I want to use it for. If I could

because there is no protection from cloud or a significant data base that information is being

directed to. Intern, this quick ability to compute data is where the weak link is that hackers

are able to reengineer the chip within the device with a concept known as differential power

analysis. After access the criminals can measure the power of the device. This hayness

method has been proven effective against the cryptographic algorithms that protect

information on smart chips in credit cards. Aydin Aysu, an assistant professor for the

electrical and computer engineering department at North Carolina State University in

Raleigh, and his comrades accustomed masking by splitting intermediate computations into

two randomized shares that are different each time the neural network runs the same

intermediate computation. Mayhem is a machine that utilizes A.I. to find software

vulnerabilities and patches them. A team at Carnegie Melon University set out to build a

technology that would make software safe automatically. The technology was invented

because, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) recognizes that the U.S.

one day will not have enough manpower or tools to fight off cyber-security threats. The

challenge was to design and build a system that not only recognizes a problem in the

software code, but also figure out how to fix the software code to make it more secure.

Software developers tend to be on a deadline and focus on making their software work,

sophisticated software can have millions of lines of code and any of those lines of code

could potentially open a door to malicious actors. Mayhem was invented to give people a

make the software we use have a smaller attack vector and less susceptible to malicious
