Utilizing Media: A Response to Deepfakes

  Of the ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery), a magazine called Communication of the ACM's edition releases 1 month before its stated release month. In the latest edition, regarding March 2021, of Communications of the ACM , Column Editor, Susan J. Winter wrote Computing Ethics: What To Do About Deepfakes . Regarding Winter’s desire to halt or hinder illegal or unethical deepfakes, a video technology like wearing a full body masking suit, Winter wrote, “Here are three areas where technical experts can make positive contributions to the development of synthetic media technologies: education and media literacy, subject defense, and verification” (Winter, March, 2021). Winter was saying actions such as teaching and having disruptive technology knowledge, researching professionally, and proving concepts are parts of deepfake experts’ calculus. But this much work specializes such that entry level, junior, work will probably be offered to overqualified professionals. Technic

On VS Code, Starting Using C / C++

 

C/C++ for Visual Studio Code


Last night, on VS Code (Visual Studio Code), a popular IDE (integrated development environment), I successfully ran a simple box volume calculator app, and the language I used was C++. On my MS (Microsoft) Surface Pro LTE (link) OS, Windows 10 (link), the way I did this: is checking available VS Code extensions via internal app search, studying the relevant documentation, but then checking available walkthrough information; but the final step was handwriting this code.

Extensions via Internal AppOn Microsoft Visual Studio Code: using red ink, the extensions tab, targeted

On the first step, I went: to the sixth option region drawn using an MS Surface Pro Slim Pen (link).

On a Microsoft Visual Studio Code Extensions Search Query, C/C++, this resulted: the official Microsoft C/C++ extension enclosed by red ink.

During this step, I also searched for a C/C++ compiler and debugger, as shown targeted using my MS Surface Pro LTE Type Cover (link) because I have begun planning a C/C++ app. I shall tell you more about this app later, this year. Just remember, this app shall follow this wisdom literature: Proverbs 23:23 (NIV, link). On VS Code, I chose the Microsoft C/C++ extension because it has C/C++ Intellisense, debugging, and code browsing. Pressing the hot keys Ctrl+Shift+X: opened the extensions search engine.  

I am checking the documentation.

From Microsoft's C/C++ for Visual Studio Code, a screen snippet: with the "Popular C++ compilers are" section surrounded by red ink and underscored by red ink, the Getting Started Section


I actually use the g++ compiler because it was the easiest installation available, but this method also required many hours of searching, and I waited many months because VS Code documentation is sparse.

I updated my Path variable.

On Windows 10, the Windows Search result: enclosed by red ink and underscored by red ink is the result, "Edit environment variables."


After finally finding a well-documented solution (link), I updated my Path variable: for Edit environment variables, I did an on-PC search. Readers, on Windows 10, the Command Prompt can verify the version of g++. The final tasks were installing Node.JS, but I am a learner, here, so go easy on me, but then building the tasks.json file and the launch.json active files. The tasks.json task can be completed: on opening a .cpp software file, following the Visual Studio Code documentation that is, configuring a default build task…then pressing the hot keys Ctrl+Shift+B. Unfortunately, the launch.json explanation did not work. I shall study launch.json more: Ecclesiastes 11:2 (NIV, link).

In response to the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo’s Circular Reasoning: Spiral Circuits for More Efficient AI

Circular Reasoning On June 14, 2020, the IIS (Institute of Industrial Science) at the UTokyo (University of Tokyo) wrote  Circular Reasoning: Spiraling Circuits for More Efficient AI ; but a Press Release from this institute is giving a synopsis on this topic. On this press release, the IIS wrote, “Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo designed and built specialized computer hardware consisting of stacks of memory modules arranged in a 3D-spiral for artificial intelligence (AI) applications” (IIS, June 14, 2020). The IIS continued on, saying this research is allowing a singular way work can be done regarding the next generation energy efficient AI devices (Here is a current generation, but energy efficient, AI device, Android Pie: link ) shall be implemented into production.             The Fundamentals of Machine Learning                On this press release, the IIS is explaining the fundamentals of ML (Machine Learning).

IS the Future of AI “Women?”

Interdisciplinary Campus Culture On April 14, 2020, Katy Rank Lev wrote the Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) news article The Future of AI is Female . Since artificial intelligence’s (AI) initial measurement, wrote Lev, CMU built AI. Lev wrote that each of the colleges CMU is representing contribute to make AI a new field, describing this AI as a frontier, humanity can democratize: from healthcare, the eventual goal area is education. In a rush, Lev cut the conversation short, and Lev mentioned CMU’s interdisciplinary campus culture as the source of the effective AI women, but this is despite women historically not represented as scientists, technologists, and engineers, and math (STEM), worldwide. But CMU is spotlighting undergraduate students and highly honored faculty members, and Lev is including these women because she agrees with the Women in Tech movement as far as the East is from the West: CMU is the best Computer Science University with AI, and this is IT at this point in

Drone Uses AI and 11,500 Crashes to Learn How to Fly

Learning to Fly by Crashing On 10 May, 2017, Evan Ackerman wrote the IEEE (Institute for Electricians and Electrical Engineers) SPECTRUM article Drone Uses AI and 11,500 Crashes to Learn How to Fly. In Ackerman’s article, Ackerman used a block quote by Carnegie Mellon University roboticists Dhiraj Gandhi, Lerrel Pinto; and Abhinav Gupta, the writers of a paper, “Learning to Fly by Crashing” (Gandhi, et. al., 27 Apr 2017). From Ackerman’s block quote from Gandhi, et. al., “[T]he gap between simulation and real world remains large especially for perception problems” (Gandhi, et. al.). Ackerman contrasted known motion from unconfirmed motion without identifying the pre-existing condition called Schrödinger’s cat in the case that the crashes shall eventually happen without outside help: a continuing crash failure, and in security terms this is interned as a false positive because this helps Schrödinger’s cat stay alive or rest buried in the soil. In this case, this drone detects these t
