Countdown To Mars Landing

Perseverance Rover Landing Mars Time Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 11:15 AM – 1:30 PM PST Prospect Humans have been persistently exploring extraterrestrial civilizations, this time Perseverance Mars rover can successfully land on Mars, will once again open a new journey of extraterrestrial civilization exploration. Exploration and creation is always a most joyful thing, even if the final failure, our life is also full of fantasy, rather than bumbling through this life, at least you can tell your story to your next generation, tell them that you have done the most brilliant and best things. ...

Nassim Nicholas Taleb Uncertainty Series in Four Parts

2021 Words to myself Risk-sharing think rationally Love random volatility Do unto others as you would have them do unto you 2021 A New Beginning I recently spent three months on my own reading the four-part series of uncertainty books by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The overall summary of the feelings after reading is that, just right to make myself from deep inside out to find how to enhance their own anti-vulnerability through the judgment of randomness, correct my previous misunderstanding of the concept of investment, because many colleagues around me want financial freedom, then the question is how you want to approach this freedom, through the short-term constant speculation, speculation in digital currency If you look at the asymmetric risk, you will definitely end up with a 100% loss in it. ...

New Mac Mini With Apple M1 Chip

Getting Started The beginning of 2020 when they have planned their own future direction is to ARM devices edge computing direction development, is expected in the next 3-5 years ARM platform will rise in various computing fields, from smart phones to small Arduino edge devices, to large supercomputing systems, in every corner of the world we can see the figure of ARM. In order to promote SARS-Cov-2 vaccine research and development, they also formed a set of ARM64 general-purpose computing platform, the hardware used is Raspberry Pi 4, the system uses Ubuntu 20.04 aarch64, because the main focus of low power consumption, so the entire computing platform is running at home, 50 units of Raspberry Pi Power consumption is basically at 300-400 watts, at the same time, they are also setting up Kubernets under the machine learning platform, able to complete the training of models on ARM, of course, the performance and X86 + GPU can not be compared, overall they can learn to large distributed project training and cluster management experience on a large scale. ...

Taleb Disorder Series Books

Books Introducing four great books written by Taleb: “Antifragile” Reading “The Black Swan” finished The Random Walk for Dummies not read “Asymmetric Risk” not read The Wisdom of Random Survival unread Knowledge Extension In looking at Taleb’s Black Swan, he has been emphasizing the properties of both Average Stan and Extreme Stan, while paying particular attention to the probabilistic understanding-fractal geometry, self-similarity theory in Extreme Stan. Here let me pay special attention to the conjecture that graph network is the cornerstone of the physical theory of the universe proposed by wolfram earlier this year, interested partners can go to wolframphysics to understand the specific content, simply speaking is to create complex universe by a simple rule, and then by these multiplying models of the universe to explain our existing edifice of physics theory. In fractal theory, a certain rule reproduces the wonderful geometry of nature by constantly iterating itself, which is the self-similar structure that Taleb has been describing in his books, so at present one focuses a lot of attention on the two areas of randomness and fractal geometry, and the use of fractal geometry may lead to a new breakthrough in machine learning. ...
