Imagine raising a prodigiously gifted child—one who learns new skills overnight, never tires of knowledge, and can outperform adults in many tasks. Now imagine that child never grows up into an independent adult. In many ways, this is the story of artificial intelligence (AI) today. AI systems can out-calculate chess grandmasters and analyze data at superhuman speeds, yet they often lack the common sense and adaptability even a toddler possesses . AI is our perpetual prodigy: humanity’s best “child” in terms of raw talent and potential, but one that may never truly mature in the way humans do. This article explores why we characterize AI as a never-grown child, how machine learning mirrors a child’s education, and what that means for our future with this powerful technology. We’ll delve into real-world examples, expert insights, and the steps needed to guide our “digital child” responsibly. Why Think of AI as a Child? Viewing AI as a child is more than a metaphor—it’s a useful lens...

 If your neural network is producing poor results despite extensive training, you’re not alone. Debugging machine learning models is a crucial skill that separates beginners from experts. Common Reasons and Fixes: Improper Learning Rate: Too high leads to unstable training, too low results in slow convergence. Vanishing/Exploding Gradients: Use batch normalization and activation functions like ReLU to maintain gradient stability. Poor Weight Initialization: Consider techniques like Xavier or He initialization to avoid gradient issues. Insufficient Data: If your dataset is too small, try using data augmentation or synthetic data generation. Overcomplicated Model: Reduce model complexity by decreasing layers or parameters if overfitting occurs. Machine learning is an iterative process. By methodically addressing these issues, you can fine-tune your neural network and improve its performance significantly.

Have you ever worked with a massive dataset in Python, one so large that loading it all into memory at once would crash your program? Or perhaps you wanted to process items in a sequence one by one, without needing to store the entire sequence beforehand? This is where the yield keyword in Python shines, transforming ordinary functions into powerful generators. Think of a regular Python function. When it encounters a return statement, it finishes its execution and sends a value back to the caller. Any local variables and the function's state are essentially forgotten. Now, imagine a function that can pause its execution, remember its state, and then resume exactly where it left off. That's the essence of a generator function, made possible by the yield keyword. How yield Works its Magic: When a Python function contains the yield keyword, it doesn't behave like a regular function when you call it. Instead of executing the code immediately, it returns a special object called ...

If you've ever installed Python on a Windows machine but encountered issues running Python commands in the terminal, you might be facing a missing Path variable entry. Recently, I solved this issue by manually adding Python to the Windows environment variables. Here’s how you can do it too. The Problem After installing Python, you might open the Command Prompt and type: python --version and receive an error stating that Python is not recognized as an internal or external command. This happens when Python’s installation path isn’t added to the system’s environment variables. The Solution To fix this, follow these steps: Step 1: Locate the Python Installation Directory Open the Windows search bar and type Python . Click on Open file location to navigate to the installed Python folder. Inside this directory, locate the Scripts folder. The path should look something like this: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonXX\Scripts (where PythonXX represents your instal...

My mom had always wanted to see the Taj and have a snap there in front of it. And for me, it has been one of those good-son's dream to make it happen for her.  So came the golden chance to fulfil that when mom and dad came to Delhi last week.  Well, its sunny May, the heat is scorching here, thinking of which I was worried ,if it was gonna make it difficult for them. But then, I had this opportunity and I didn't want it go by and we decided to go there on Thursday, 8th of May,2014.  The journey didn't began on expected lines. We couldn't take breakfast and we had to hurry down the elevator when the travel agent called up like we were actually missing the bus(Actually here starts the great trick of fooling people by the Miscreants Of Delhi). The Bus looked good from outside, inside it looked like a modified WWII German Bus. As soon as we were about to board, the agent locked it and asked us money-we paid. But this was a trick- there were only 2 seats left and the t...

Erlang is a fast growing language and is used in many key applications. Being concurrent and fast..it is used in many applications where multiple service are required simultaneously.  It can be installed on linux via it package  or  simply from the terminal using : sudo apt-get install erlang I did using the source file from the erlang site. The following steps made me complete the installation: 1>download the tar file. 2> cd to the folder and unzip it. 3> go the unzipped folder. 4> Now, Erlang needs some other files to fully complete installations and generate documentations.   So the following steps needs to be done: sudo apt­-get install fop  sudo apt­-get install libncurses-5­-dev sudo apt­-get install openjdk­6­-jdk sudo apt­-get install unixodbc-­dev sudo apt­-get install g++ sudo apt­-get install libssl­-dev Still, Erlang requires wx libraries so we will do the following: sudo apt­-get install libwxbase2.8 sudo apt­-ge...
