System Engineers. Or SEs. In modern world, artificial intelligence is becoming smarter and smarter. Eventually, AIs will completely take over jobs that humans have. AIs are capable of doing what us human beings are able to do. This includes banking type jobs, which AIs can easily do calculations a billion times faster than what our brains are capable of doing. Not only calculations, but AIs are also very good at predicting things. This means that they can do things that have an instruction. If I put it to my own words, its basically an automation machine.

SINGULARITY. Not a term we hear too much, but have heard of somewhere in your life. There's not so much chance to actually look up or define the word "singularity". That's because its something normal people don't think about. Basically, it means that Artificial Intelligence will surpass the knowledge of us human beings. This means that AIs will have their own consciousness, and will be able to make decisions like human beings. Computers right now are not that smart; We have to tell them what to do (Input), and they will do what we tell them to do (Output). This same concept applies to smartphones, and every IoT devices that we use out there. What if AIs could think, and analyze a certain situation to make the best decision? The best example to tie this up to are autonomous cars. Tesla has been making autonomous cars for a couple years now, and there is one main thing that keeps these cars alive. That is the brain of the car (AI). We feed big data to these AIs,...

APPLE UPDATES. I have always been thinking quietly in my head about the stability, and the reliability of Apple Updates. This includes iOS, Mac OS, iPad OS updates. Just to put this out there, but I am not an Apple fanboy. I have not yet fully entered the Apple ecosystem(ahem... financial reasons), and I've always been a Windows type guy when it comes to computers. I am running a Windows 10 cumulative update in the background as I am typing up this blog, and I realized how slow, and unreliable the updates are. When I click on Update Now prompt, it will start to update. Good news! However, the percentage bar always hangs at a specific number(e.g. 25%). I write a paragraph or so and check back on how the update is doing. Still no change. Completely stuck. It's like my time has been taken a hostage and I dislike this. Apple devices are super reliable. Once you click on update now, the device will block any inputs, so you will not be able to use the device while updating. Howeve...

SPACE TETHERS. Interplanetary travel may sound like its came out straight out of a sci-fi movie, a little "fantasy like", but we may be closer to the objective than we think. We have a technology called rockets which takes payload to the space. An object will need a velocity of over 40,000 to escapee the Earth's atmosphere. Which means the rocket will need a ton of fuel. A majority of the space inside a rocket is reserved for rocket fuel, and the tip of the rocket carries a payload which is not a lot. It is also called a space elevator to further simplify the concept, but it is more like a rope hanging from a satellite orbiting the Earth. The satellite in orbit will have a long rope with a docking station attached. The concept will look like a nun chuck. Once in orbit, the nun chuck like tether will rotate keeping the momentum at an equal rate. Using that momentum, we are able to fling the ships, or capsules outer space, or even catch the ships coming inbound and reduce t...

CRINGE. Have you ever wondered what the definition of cringe is? We hear it a lot in the social media communities, especially memes. As a matter of fact, the term "cringe" probably originated from the meme community around 2013. Want an example of cringe? Callmecarson is called a living cringe. I personally think he's humorous and an amazing guy, but sometimes his humor is way too off. That's the reason why I like that dude. But in all seriousness, I first saw the word "cringe" on a recommended YouTube video. It was called "Minecon Cringe", and as I watched the video, I understood exactly what cringe meant. Its one of those words that you know what it means, but when it comes to putting it in words, you just can't explain it properly. It's that feeling when you feel embarrassed inside your heart for someone. In some parts, its really similar to "awkwardness". Right now, instead of using the word "cringe" when we are su...
