Tesla AI Stock Prediction
I am currently working on a video to model and predict the Tesla stock price. The technique that I will use is the so called LSTM (Long short-term memory) technique. It is incredibly powerful as it is able to store past information. They are a special kind of RNNs (Recurrent Neural Networks), capable of learning long-term dependencies, introduced by Hochreiter & Schmidhuber in 1997.
The Schlieren Method
Schlieren imaging systems have been used since the early 1800’s to visualize fluctuations in optical density. As a dynamic and straightforward visualization tool, these systems are primarily applied to conduct qualitative visual studies. Schlieren optics provide an informative, non-intrusive method for studying transparent and optical media. It is beneficial to use them in fluid dynamics studies because they are sensitive to changes and do not interfere with flow. They are also used to study optical media and changes in refractive index within the material. Most commonly, schlieren systems have been applied to visualize diverse subjects such as striations in blown glass, inhalation in humans and animals, shock waves from a plane in flight, and heat emanating from a system.

The first iPad
In 1963, while a student at MIT, Ivan Sutherland created a highly interactive drawing-and-design program called Sketchpad, at a time when the concept of computer graphics barely existed. It used an oscilloscope for a display, allowed the user to draw with a light pen and ran on MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s TX-2, which had a then-remarkable 64KB of memory.
SpaceX Raptor Engine
SpaceX's Raptor engine is one of the complex pieces of engineering designs I have ever seen. So many small components need to work right in conjunction to get the rocket flying. It's these things which will carry us to Mars and beyond

Book of the Week
Math and Architectures of Deep Learning
Math and Architectures of Deep Learning sets out the foundations of DL in a way that’s both useful and accessible to working practitioners. Each chapter explores a new fundamental DL concept or architectural pattern, explaining the underpinning mathematics and demonstrating how they work in practice with well-annotated Python code. You’ll start with a primer of basic algebra, calculus, and statistics, working your way up to state-of-the-art DL paradigms taken from the latest research. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a combined theoretical insight and practical skills to identify and implement DL architecture for almost any real-world challenge.
