NeuraLink is a Brain Machine Interface (BMI) which can read and write into our brains. Founded by Elon Musk in 2016, they have presented different prototypes of BMI over time. The latest one looks something like a much thicker version of a coin.

Brain Machine Interfaces are not new, and have been used to treat various patients of Parkinson’s disease, Dystonia, OCD, restore hearing and Epilepsy. What NeuraLink brings to the table is its improvements to the existing technology. The current state-of-art BMI’s have at most 100 wires connecting to the brain. NeuraLink’s latest prototype has over a 1000. …

Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the field of autonomous driving technologies by several companies in the industry. Similar technologies are being used for decades in Airplanes where a significant amount of operation is automatic.

The ultimate aim for their development is to make a world where cars drive themselves, with minimal human input. This development is going to help create a world where all uber cabs drive themselves, shipping is done by self-driving trucks e.t.c.

How do these cars work?

These cars use various cameras at different angles all around it and the computer on-board processes the images while…

Wherever the word 5G pops up, people mistake it for just faster mobile network speeds. What they don’t realise is that it also has many real world applications which make it worth investing into.

A brief explanation:

5G is the fifth generation of wireless network technology with a focus on Internet of Things (IoT). It utilises infrastructure currently in use along with high frequency millimetre waves to transfer more data in a shorter period of time.

However, it should be kept in mind that currently, these high frequency waves have very limited range. …

Chances are, you may have heard of Artificial intelligence a lot (even if you don’t have anything to do with it). But have you actually wondered how do they work? I’ll quickly explain 3 terms: Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Deep learning.

Artificial Intelligence:

The area of computer science which relates to the ability of computer systems to think and with the reasoning abilities of an average human being.

Machine Learning:

It is a subset of AI and refers to computer algorithms which perform certain specific tasks without using direct instructions but instead, relies on patterns and it’s on inference.

Nowadays, it is very common for a word like A.I. (artificial intelligence) to be used so often that it’s meaning becomes kind of diluted. It isn’t hard for you to spot it casually thrown around in a product’s marketing campaign (even though it usually has nothing to do with it).

The fact that people love to imagine a terminator like scenario each time they think of A.I. also isn’t of much help. What sci-fi movies usually demonstrate is artificial ‘general’ intelligence, which we are really far from achieving as of now. But still, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has repeatedly told…

What is it?

It is Facebook’s attempt at a ‘regulated’ and decentralised cryptocurrency which uses blockchain technology just like Bitcoin. However, because cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are permission less, whereas Libra isn’t permission-less, some people argue it isn’t a cryptocurrency at all. They call it a digital currency instead. I leave the terminology up to you.

According to Facebook, it will be of help to people who do not have access to a traditional bank or find using their financial services expensive. Their play is that unlike others, Libra will be backed by a reserve of other assets like bonds or other nations currencies…
