Starting with Ubuntu

Image
Hardware is nothing but finely designed machinery. A machine is ultimately a machine only, which is always made to work. It is the kernel on an operating system that makes the hardware alive. There is a hugely popular operating system Linux which is mostly used in most sincere applications.  Linux is an open source operating system (i.e., its code is also available) created by a Finnish student Linus Torvalds . Linux is available in multiple distributions such as Ubuntu, Red Hat, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, CentOS and many more. In this session, you shall learn to work with Ubuntu distribution of Linux. It's derived from Debian and composed mostly of free and open-source software. Ubuntu is officially released in multiple editions: Desktop, Server, and Core for Internet of things devices and robots. The operating system is developed by the British company Canonical and a community of other developers, under a meritocratic governance model. Starting Ubuntu When you boot your comput

Apple M4 becomes the new underdog of arm processors

Image
Apple's M4 chip is officially here, debuting in the new iPad Pro at Apple's "Let Loose" event on May 7, 2024. Built using second-generation 3-nanometer technology, M4 is a system on a chip (SoC) that advances the industry-leading power efficiency of Apple silicon and enables the incredibly thin design of iPad Pro. It also features an entirely new display engine to drive the stunning precision, colour, and brightness of the breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display on iPad Pro.   A new CPU has up to 10 cores , while the new 10-core GPU builds on the next-generation GPU architecture introduced in M3, and brings Dynamic Caching, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading to iPad for the first time. M4 has Apple’s fastest Neural Engine ever, capable of up to 38 trillion operations per second, which is faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC today.  Combined with faster memory bandwidth, along with next-generation machine learning (M

Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks Explained

 A groundbreaking research paper released just few days ago introduces a novel neural network architecture called Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). This new approach, inspired by the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, promises significant improvements in accuracy and interpretability compared to traditional Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). Let’s dive into what KANs are, how they work, and the potential implications of this exciting development. Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) are promising alternatives of Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). KANs have strong mathematical foundations just like MLPs: MLPs are based on the universal approximation theorem, while KANs are based on Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem. KANs and MLPs are dual: KANs have activation functions on edges, while MLPs have activation functions on nodes. This simple change makes KANs better (sometimes much better!) than MLPs in terms of both model accuracy and interpretability. The Traditional Foundation: Mul
