How does artificial intelligence work or How do machines think?

Humans have built AI systems that can do everything from diagnose our illnesses, drive our cars to clean your house. But how can we trust them if we don’t understand them? I have attempted to provide an insight into the technology at layman's word so that you understand the implication quickly.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building clever machines capable of performing tasks that typically require rational intelligence. AI is an interdisciplinary science with complicated approaches, elevations in machine learning, and deep learning are creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the industry. 

Human has been inventing things that are useful to him, like an extension of bodily components. Bicycle, Car, Airplane is our legs extension, Footwear is an extension of the foot sole, Typewriter was the extension of handwriting skills. Like being the computer the extension of our Brain, now AI is an extension of how our brain thinks and works, we know how our brain works, which define what we are, the fear is real that AI is going to steal from us our identity. 

Let us look at how AI is created 

AI is any device that understands its environment, practices and actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.

It is a rather very complicated process simulated step-by-step reasoning that when they solve puzzles or make logical deductions.

For AI what we need is enormous processing capability along with an enormous data handling capacity. Our brain does millions of calculations per second to achieve results without much effort. This why quantum computer is being developed, existing computer technology has limitation that won't allow AI to flourish.

Our Brain capacity was reported as 1 synapse can store 4.7 bits of information. Neurons are the cells that prepare and forward messages within the brain, and synapses are the bridges between neurons that carry the conveyed messages. Running the numbers – 125 trillion synapses – 4.7 bits/synapse, and about 1 trillion bytes equaling 1 TB (Terabyte). This storage capacity is an amount of over 74 Terabytes just in the cerebral cortex alone. Ideally, AI technology is far behind our brain's capacity in terms of AI development.

The below image gives a 33 thousand foot view of the AI subject 

above wire-frame was generated using Pencil Opensource application

Let me explain each box mentioned above

Deep learning means that instead of understanding what something is, the AI begins to learn “why.” Example Automated Driving.

Supervised you to provide the machine with the correct answer ahead of time. Example identify a car or truck comparing against the previously-stored image 

Unsupervised we simply feed a machine a bunch of data so that it can find whatever patterns it can. Example Siri & Cortana

Content extraction automatically finds and extracts information of interest. Example Resume profiling based on keywords 

Classifications work when the business feeds the data points, such as product stock, along with their predetermined categories.

Machine translation is the process by which computer software is used to translate a text from one natural language (such as Hindi) to another (such as Tamil).

Question answering is a computer science discipline within the fields of information retrieval and natural language processing (NLP), which is concerned with building systems that automatically answer questions posed by humans in a natural language. Example AI bots that chat with you, there is no human behind it who answers your question.

Text generation it leverages knowledge in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence to automatically generate natural language texts, which can satisfy certain communicative requirements. Example more mobile phone is able to convert what you speak of action, like dialing a number.

Text to speech (TTS) is a natural language modeling process that requires changing units of text into units of speech for audio presentation. Example great for visually impaired person 

Speech to text is the opposite of speech to text, where technology takes in spoken words and tries to record them as text. The example you speak and it types the letter for you

Image recognition is the ability of software to identify objects, places, people, writing, and actions into images. Example current Covid-19 it was used to identify people with high temperature in public places. 

Machine vision is the ability of a computer to see; it employs one or more video cameras, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and digital signal processing (DSP). The resulting data goes to a computer or robot controller. Machine vision is in a way similar in complexity to voice recognition. Example Airport immigration can scan passengers and identify if any, known suspect in trying to board the flight. 

The ultimate goal of AI would be 

1. Thinking humanly
2. Thinking rationally
3. Acting humanly 
4. Acting rationally

The application of this technology's potential is enormous, the key to succeeding in this area of exciting technology is to develop knowledge in many areas, you can't merely study solely on AI and be successful, You need to understand human behaviour, how the application works, how the mechanical components work, electrical and electronic, chemical knowledge. The more you master different areas you will be successful in developing a useful AI tool.

Sharing was something that have been accomplishing for deep rooted yet never saw I was acceptable at it until I saw my Quora commitment throughout the long term, a great many individuals have moved toward me for arrangements and addressed all. I found the delight in sharing information, you can share what you have, on the off chance that you have cash you offer and feel upbeat and its the equivalent to me. 

I additionally found that I have an enormous hunger for learning new things, I accomplished something like 6 accreditation during lockdown from Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Linux, PCL , Python and so on 

In general, it was an incredible figuring out how to find out about self, it makes me more complete human and more unassuming, as the platitude information makes you see the world in an alternate point of view, I feel knowing self the best information you can actually get.

Knowledge of Astrology

Everyday at home, I am used to seeing day calendar of south India, usually mom used to tear the previous day sheet, notice the Gochara chart bottom middle part, that shows everyday planetary positions. 

Tamil Daily Calendar 

At some point, I was exploring astronomy and bought a telescope to watch heavenly bodies, I remember seeing Skylab in the telescope, Once during lunar eclipse, I saw the calendar also was showing the lunar incident. My inquisitive raised how did the calendar manufacture know today was eclipse months back when it was printed. I came to know that its all about calculation done using Surya Siddhanta.

This inquisitive motivated me to learn about the calculation, Started with KP books that was available in English so what was interesting was the calculation of the planetary position. How did ancients know all this ? Slowly I understood the concept of ayasanam. As I was reading and understanding, I was slowly reading about planets, again same inquisitive nature comparing today knowledge of planets with what was mention in ancient books. So much of similarly how did ancient people know so much, that too thousand of miles away from earth. 

So life took turns and challenges in life came up, and all logically thoughts of how things should be working as per bookish knowledge went berserk. All took a sharp turn when for me Ragu dasa started and my roller coaster ride started, with no clue of why strange things are happening, and we have no control over it, armed by earlier study on planetary and some basic understanding, I started to find answers to my unexplained incidents in life. 

Studied Astrology in a school, got diploma in it, slowly migrated to BPHS books on ancient astrology. So I found so many issues, trust in God raised started seeing people in different views, became more composed, more adjustable, more compassionate about other problems. 

It always surprised even today how, I am able to find some details of a person, who hardly I know just by looking at the chart, like his face proportion will be smaller compared to his body, if mercury in lagana it indicates that. So there is some truth in astrology, it's a vast subject that our human mind can't simply handle the information, just like today's Doctors the knowledge of human body so much that it is impossible for a single doctor to master it all and recall when needed, so there are so many specialists in it, if this is the case of physical body, astrology is about body, mind and beyond no one can master it, except some with divine intervention. 

To start will wrote about Rahu Dasa with personal experience

Simple IoT System Security

Today, more devices are connected to the Internet than people. Cisco has predicted that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020 that's five times the expected population. The IoT helps these devices to connect to each other automatically, so the security issues also arise accordingly. We can take some simple steps to safeguard our self.

Bit by bit directions to offer security to IoT based systems

We should begin with the adsl/routers/switch/UTM: The routers/switch is said to be the 'front way' to your smart home, and this is what you need to check first. So it is urged to place assets into a firewall or UTM that goes with a more significant level of security, as standard.

Make a discretionary or guest user/group: You can make various frameworks on your Wi - Fi router/switch. Make frameworks with parental controls for kids, guest frameworks with potential controls, or guest frameworks for visitors. You can make additional frameworks at whatever point required. By doing this, one can shield potential crooked software engineers from finding a workable access, shared records, and diverse miscellaneous items from various contraptions.

Check your IoT contraptions' settings and keep them revived: Your IoT device undoubtedly goes with default settings and you may change them at whatever point required.

Enable two-factor approval: Two-factor check is an additional security layer over a contraption mystery express that requires discretionary affirmation. It is a one-time code sent by methods for email or SMS before find a workable access.

Stop UPnP features: IoT devices will by and large have Universal Plug in and Play (UPnP) features, enabling different devices to find and interface with one another. This may support aggressors who wants to get unauthorized access.

Backing Up VM Files with BORG

BorgBackup, or Borg, is a de-duplicating open source program that also offers compression and encryption. The main goal of Borg is to provide efficient and secure storage of backed up data. In this article, the author shows how Borg can securely back up a VM, and has added some of his own script modifications to make it more efficient.

I have been trying to back up VMs with various backup tools. This turned out to be expensive for the volume of data that seems to be growing larger every day. It was becoming important for me to back up data and at the same time reduce the cost of storage, which is calculated per GB. If the data is to be stored as per HIPPA regulations, the costs get even higher. Backing up VM files was a challenge, particularly when done live or in real-time.

As a consultant, I had to deliver a cost-effective tool to back up data and store it in an encrypted format.

The client was advised to use KVM on CentOS instead of VMware and Windows. This first option proved successful and the performance was better than the VMware-Windows combination. It was necessary to use a backup tool to store the data in a safe place even when at rest, as it contained PMI data. I scoured Google for all the possible tools prior to deciding on one — and the options were either beyond budget or did not deliver what was needed, i.e., space, efficient storage, speed, data encryption compression, robustness, being time tested, reliable, and easy to use.

I eventually landed at the Borg site (https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io), but I was sceptical about it as no one had mentioned it, nor had I heard of it earlier. But I read through the site, found it very interesting, and decided to try out Borg.

It turned out to perfectly match my needs, as it had:

Space efficient storage

Speed

Data encryption

Compression

Off-site backups

Backups mountable as file systems

And it was free and open source software.

Borg is rather easy to install on multiple platforms and offers single-file binaries that do not require anything to be installed — you can just run them on the following platforms:

Linux

Mac OS X

FreeBSD

OpenBSD and NetBSD (no xattrs/ACLs support or binaries yet)

Cygwin (experimental, no binaries yet)

Linux sub-system of Windows 10 (experimental)

Installation

Borg x86/x64 AMD/Intel compatible binaries (generated with PyInstaller) are available on the release pages for Linux: glibc >= 2.13 (okay for most supported Linux releases). Older glibc releases are untested and may not work.

To install the binary, just drop it into a directory in your PATH, make Borg readable and executable for its users and then you can run it, as follows:

sudo cp borg-linux64 /usr/local/bin/borg

sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/borg

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg

Dependencies

To install Borg from a source package (including PIP), I had to install the following dependencies first:

Python 3 >= 3.4.0, plus development headers. Even though Python 3 is not the default Python version on most systems, it is usually available as an optional install.

OpenSSL >= 1.0.0, plus development headers.

libacl and libattr (as libacl depends on libattr), plus development headers.

It has bundled code of the following packages, but Borg, by default (see setup.py if you want to change that) prefers a shared library if it can be found on the system (lib + dev headers) at build time:

liblz4 >= 1.7.0 (r129)

libzstd >= 1.3.0

libb2

Some Python dependencies and Pip automatically installed themselves for me.

I followed the steps indicated at the Borg official site:

https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html.

A step-by-step example is given below:
1. #!/bin/bash
2. set -euo pipefail
3. IFS=$’\n\t’
4. #Written By Arvind GK
5. #Part 2 : To backup Second VM Disk
6. This File name backup-vm-1st-disk.sh
7. DOMAIN=”$1”
8. UUID=$(sudo virsh dumpxml $DOMAIN | grep uuid | cut -d”>” -f2 | cut -d”<” -f1)
9.
10. DISK_LOCATION=$(sudo virsh domblklist “$DOMAIN” | grep hda | tr -s “ “ | cut -d” “ -f2-)
11.
12. DISK_LOCATION1=$(sudo virsh domblklist “$DOMAIN” | grep hdb| tr -s “ “ | cut -d” “ -f2-)
13.
14. # Export Borg encryption key , You can also modify this to using public and private key. Here I have user simple passphrase as example.
15. export BORG_PASSPHRASE=”1234”
16.
17. # Export the rate-limited remote shell
18. #export BORG_RSH=”/usr/local/bin/pv-wrapper ssh”
19.
20. Create the snapshot to a temp file on the Linux drive
21.
22. sudo virsh snapshot-create-as --domain $DOMAIN \
23.
24. tempsnap “Temporary snapshot used while backing up $DOMAIN” \ --disk-only --diskspec $DISK_LOCATION,file=”/img/$DOMAIN-tempsnap.qcow2” \ --atomic
25.
26. Commit the changes that took place in the Windows drive while
27. Sync the virsh metadata with reality by deleting the metadata
28. external image right now but that is not implemented yet)
29.
30. sudo virsh snapshot-delete “$DOMAIN” tempsnap --metadata
31.
32. (they have already been merged back into the original image) sudo rm -f “/img/$DOMAIN-tempsnap.qcow2” sudo rm -f “$DISK_LOCATION1”
33.
34. fi
35. }
36.
37. Stupid hack: make a list of all the files we *don’t* want to save so we can exclude them from the backup
38.
39. find $(dirname “$DISK_LOCATION”) ! -type d ! -wholename “$DISK_LOCATION” | awk ‘{print “sh:” $0;}’ > iso-exclusions
40. the --read-special flag tells borg to follow the symlink & read the block device directly
41.
42. Remove the temp file for the exclusions rm iso-exclusions || /bin/true
43. if it already succeeded and this ensures all guest disk access is on
44. Prune the backups on the server that are older than a certain date echo “Pruning old backups”
45. borg prune -v --list /backup --prefix “$DOMAIN-” --keep-within=1m & wait || /bin/true
46. echo “Done”

I modified this script by adding Borg to compress, encrypt and backup.

I used BLAKE2b for encrypting, as it had no legal implications on licensing and further, no history of anyone breaking the encryption.

Initialising the directory

Using Borg with the local repository, repokey encryption and BLAKE2b is often faster, since Borg 1.1 (to know more about why it is faster, refer to the document at https://blake2.net/blake2.pdf )

$ borg init --encryption=repokey-blake2 /path/to/repo

In the above example I used key encryption ‘repokey-blake2’ to encrypt and the repository path ‘/path/to/repo’ to store the backedup files; you can choose any path that has enough space to backup your files.

Here is an example of how to take a backup of the VM:

/bin/sh /qnap/backup-scripts/rcm-backup-vm-1st-disk.sh Windows2012-VM1

An output sample is given below:

[root@se_vm2 ~]# /backup/backup-scripts/rcm-backup-vm-1st-disk.sh Window2012-VM1 /home/admin/VM-Storage/vm1-c-100gb.qcow2

Bharini Nakshatras

 Outrageous' is the single word which summarizes Bharani's fundamental nature and functioning.It swings between total inverses like obliviousness and intelligence, development and immaturity,life and passing. Bharani speaks to the longing of life. Much the same as a kid needs to encounter the entirety of its environmental factors, Bharani locals want to encounter their environmental factors without limit. 

They may pass by intuition as opposed to reason. A large portion of their sentiments and wants are overpowering to such an extent that almost no should be possible to limit them. Without appropriate direction and comprehension, Bharani locals are prepared to hop into everything without exception without alert or thought. 

Bharani locals for the most part have enormous, expressive eyes, an unmistakable head, medium measured lips. Their grin is their most discernable element. Head and Bottom Parts of the Feet are the body parts identified with this nakshatra. It is extremely simple for Bharani locals to move starting with one activity then onto the next without thinking about the longterm sway. Bharani quite often attempts to break the normal practices or restrictions one way or the other. 

Whole Bharini Nakshatra falls in Sign Aries whose ruler is Mars and the leader of this Nakshatra is Venus. Mars and Venus are the two planets generally worried about ripeness and interchange with the sexes.Nowadays,it has gotten popular to connect men with Mars and ladies with Venus, yet actually the male makes the sperm (Venus), while it is ladies who make and house (Mars) the new conceived. Combination of Mars and Venus conveys an energy like that of Bharani. 

Saturn arrives at its most extreme weakness in this nakshatra.Bharani is the warm spot of innovativeness and richness, while Saturn is a cool planet of check and postponement. It is anything but difficult to perceive how they don't go together. Different planets typically well in Bharani, as long as Venus has a refined position in the outline. 

Callings :All Bharani locals have an imaginative inclination inside them.Babysitters, Nannies, Nursery School Teachers; All callings including children.Volcanic and Earthquake Experts; Geophysicists; Biologists and Microbiologists; Cooks, Caterers, Hoteliers,Seed and Fertilizer Industry.
