The Road to Autonomy - AI, Driverless Cars and Robotaxi

The aspirations started two decades ago, when Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA, ignited the industry and the academia to explore the possibilities of self driving vehicle. Today, the leading EV manufacturer, Tesla, announced their FSD drove a Billion miles. A Billion Miles!! What is FSD? Full Self Driving is an add on feature for Tesla cars which allows the car self drive itself to destinations with the driver paying attention. This is infusion of software and hardware connected to an AI computational engine.

Tesla FSD fleet passes 1 billion-mile milestone Tesla drivers have driven over 1 billion miles on FSD, a cumulative number of miles exceeding the distance between the Earth and Saturn.

Bangladesh has a large diaspora of over 10 million people residing abroad, who are contributing to the country's economy in various ways. The remittances they send home, the investment they make, and the knowledge they bring back from their experiences abroad, are all crucial for Bangladesh's development. The government of Bangladesh should leverage this large and growing diaspora to help build a trillion-dollar economy....

Satellite + Laser to transmit data from space to earth 🌎

Starlink performs around 500Mbps down 50Mbps up with less than 10ms latency. Now the MIT scientists tested Laser to Earth transmission over 2Tbps!! I know it is just in testing but the promise of ubiquitous communication anywhere is going to be a reality by 2030!

Laser satellite shatters space-to-Earth data transmission speed record A small satellite developed by MIT engineers has set a new record for data transmission between a satellite and Earth. The TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) system used a laser to beam huge amounts of data at up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).

Things are getting smaller. How much smaller can we go? An Atom thick. Point to ponder. Quantum next! 🤔

Moore’s Law: Scientists Just Made a Graphene Transistor Gate the Width of an Atom Pushing Moore's Law to its bitter limits, a new graphene transistor gate measures a mere 0.34 nanometers—a mark that'll be hard to beat.

Beauty in Electricity - Drinking water

Drinking water is key to not just in hot climate geography but also in highly populous areas. Recycling water is going to be a key element for sustainable living for a growing world population. $50 for a unit creating 8 liters per day using solar power with a push of a button looks very promising. Hope Bill Gates is monitoring this development.

From seawater to drinking water, with the push of a button MIT researchers created a portable desalination unit that can remove particles and salts simultaneously to generate drinking water. The user-friendly unit, which weighs less than 10 kilograms and does not require filters, can be powered by a small, portable solar panel.

How the War in Ukraine has been fought online and offline?

Kinetic war is being interspersed with Digital war in Ukraine. If we still do not think we should not care about Cybersecurity at a National level we are in asylum not Elysium.

The hybrid war in Ukraine - Microsoft On the Issues Today, Microsoft released a report detailing the relentless and destructive Russian cyberattacks observed in a hybrid war against Ukraine. Starting just before the invasion, at least six separate Russia-aligned nation-state actors launching more than 237 operations against Ukraine have been noted .....

Move over Graphene, say Hello to Borophene

As the transition to a cleaner ecosystem materialize there is a huge demand for more efficient materials to power the next generation battery. Graphene has been at the fore but now Borophene is also running fast as the next big possibility.

Sorry, graphene—borophene is the new wonder material that’s got everyone excited Stronger and more flexible than graphene, a single-atom layer of boron could revolutionize sensors, batteries, and catalytic chemistry.

YouTube Second Season! Google buys Mandiant

Serious copycat move. Follow the hunter to hunt. We have seen this happen before. Google swoops in to buy Mandiant after Microsoft was in talks with Mandiant. Cybersecurity is coming to the fore. A lot more acquisitions are in the making as someone is making $15B in Cybersecurity business which 3 times more than the largest security hardware solutions company!

Google reportedly bids against Microsoft to buy $5B security firm Mandiant - SiliconANGLE Google reportedly bids against Microsoft to buy $5B security firm Mandiant - SiliconANGLE

How fast is connectivity going to improve?

Faster bandwidth with low latency is the new killer application. The future is coming at us very fast and we need to make sure Broadband Internet connectivity is for everyone.

Is there a speed limit to the internet? Here's how fast WiFi can go Though 5G speeds depend on many factors, in theory, it should allow users to reach speeds of up to 10Gbps on their devices.

Everyday is a good day to learn

The Age of Quantum computing is going to be upon us in this decade. Quantum computing is going to disrupt the current digital computing ecosystem. Time to learn the behavior of Qbits and how to program them.

A new programming language for quantum computing The language can describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled to prevent bugs in a quantum program.

Homo Sapiens at work!

Focusing on the right problem is always key to survival. Now comes the easier part. Converting into products. Hope this is timely for us to fight the global warming.

Liquid metal catalyst quickly converts carbon dioxide into solid carbon Researchers at RMIT have developed a new method for quickly converting carbon dioxide into solid carbon, which can be stored indefinitely or turned into useful materials. The technology works by bubbling CO2 up through a tube of liquid metal, and it’s designed to be easy to integrate into the…

Innovation with LEO Satellite system in the Internet Service Provider ecosystem

After Tesla, Elon Musk is going to disrupt the ISP ecosystem and in the process establish the largest telecommunications company, powered by SpaceX.

What is Starlink? Inside the satellite business that could make Elon Musk a trillionaire. Elon Musk created a "symbiotic" relationship between SpaceX launches and Starlink satellite deployments that can help both increase their businesses,
