Calculating the change of healthy natural vegetation in a definite area after Australia's bushfires with Landsat-8 images — Abstract — Since European settlement, Australia is going through massive deforestation, endangering its wildlife and opening new doors for a climate crisis. Around 16% of Australia is covered by forests but that too is rapidly decreasing because of deforestation. From June 2019 to May 2020, massive bushfires destroyed a large…

Onymochat is an end-to-end encrypted, decentralized, anonymous chat application for PC. — Disclaimer: I will be very biased in this article because I developed Onymochat. But the whole project is open-source, so anyone can check the code themselves. Reviews and suggestions are welcome. I thought of developing a chat application that is made for privacy only when the Pegasus controversy came forward…

Lothar Collatz, two years after receiving his doctorate, introduced the idea of a conjecture in 1937. Mathematicians still couldn’t solve it. — “Mathematics is not yet ripe enough for such questions” That’s what mathematician Paul Erdos said about the simple conjecture we are going to talk about. But first, let’s start from the beginning. Guess a positive number. Any positive number. Now follow these two simple rules to apply to that number.

Infinity means something without an end. But, is there something bigger than infinity? — My 2-year-old cousin is so adorable, whenever I pay a visit to my aunt, I almost never wanna leave him and come back home.

The introduction of programs such as Midjourney, which can generate images on the basis of textual input, or the likes of ChatGPT, which can hold meaningful and human-like conversations has propelled the discussion about AI and…

Is the future bright with AI or just a dystopia with chaos? — “The main computer CDC appears on the panel. CDC appears on the screen with the face of a very old man. ... . A mysterious smile at the corner of his lips. Everything is false. False face, false smile, false glasses. CDC has no face. No shape.” ~ Humayun Ahmed…

Let’s talk about the continuum hypothesis, cardinality, Zorn’s lemma and many more. — Hilbert’s first problem, posed by mathematician David Hilbert in 1900, asks whether the continuum hypothesis is true. Well, that last sentence gave almost no context whatsoever, I know. The continuum hypothesis says that there is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of natural numbers (integers) and that of…

A Simple Explanation and Trivia. — The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2022 was awarded jointly to three gentlemen– John Clauser, Alain Aspect, and Anton Zeilinger. They received the award for their groundbreaking experiments and contribution to quantum mechanics. All of their research and experiments were based on the primary thought experiments performed by John Bell…

I created a startup with 2 of my friends about a year ago. Here’s what we did and what went wrong. — The “hustle culture” is the latest phenomenon, at least in India. Through social media influence and recent reality shows like Shark Tank India, the young generation is being drawn towards entrepreneurship more than ever before. However, it is very important to brainstorm before committing; it is also very important to…
