DEEPSEEK, AND FUTURE OF AI

Image
  DEEPSEEK, AND FUTURE OF AI SARASIJ MAJUMDER   DeepSeek came as a big tremor on the AI WORLD. Through ingenious engineering, the Chinese startup has QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY reduced its computing power needs, raising concerns about the future demand for Nvidia’s high-end chips. DeepSeek-R1 became rapidly popular with hundreds of derivative models developed over just in a few days. This has negatively impacted the market value of U.S.-based competitors with Nvidia registering a record loss 27/01/25 -- Black Monday. Tech investor Marc Andreessen has described this as “AI’s Sputnik moment.” This is mainly due to two underlying reasons—the cost-effectiveness of   DeepSeek’s   AI models and their ability to run efficiently on less expensive hardware.  “DeepSeek has had some real innovations,” Nadella said during an investor call after Microsoft reported quarterly results on this Wednesday.   Breakthrough: DeepSeek’s engineers, in their rese...

  CORINTH CANAL:GREECE AN ENGINEERING WONDER SARASIJ MAJUMDER   Canals Are Man Made Waterways—Rather Links, Connecting Two Large Natural Waterbodies, Separated By Land. There Are 16 Very Important Man Made CANALS For Navigation, Mostly Connecting Seas, And Some Are Connecting Rivers. They Are All Engineering Marvels. I Will Share With You The Interesting Information About All Of Them. All Of You Know About Suez, And Panama. But   Another Canal, Built, And Very Useful For Greece, And Europe—It Is Known As   “CORINTH CANAL.” Toay I will Discuss About It. The Corinth Canal, is an engineering marvel in Greece, serves as a crucial maritime shortcut link   that connects the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea. Spanning approximately 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) in length, the canal significantly reduces the maritime journey between the two seas, eliminating the need for ships to navigate the lengthy and hazardous route around the Peloponnesian Peninsula.

  BUSY OVER THERE! HALLO, SPACE STATION ‘ISS’ SARASIJ MAJUMDER A Russian Soyuz rocket launches three people toward the International Space Station on Sept. 11, 2024. (Image credit: NASA+)   Earth's orbit is busier right now than it's ever been. Three people  launched toward the International Space Station  (ISS) on September 11 aboard a Russian  Soyuz  capsule, pushing the total number of people in Earth orbit to a new high-water mark. "With the trio now in orbit, there is a record of 19 people currently in orbit," NASA commentator Anna Schneider said during the agency's webcast of the Soyuz liftoff. The old record was 17,  set last year . Six Chinese people also are now in the orbit. 2   two Saudis, and one Emirati astronaut  were there,  in Chinese Space Station, but two Saudis must have returned. The Soyuz that launched 11/09   has carried NASA's Don Pettit and cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner. The trio...

THE CRISIS IN SPACE

Image
  .THE CRISIS IN SPACE. .Wilmore   And   Williams. .Starliner Astronauts. SARASIJ MAJUMDER From Yuri to Neil to our Rakesh---- we have covered many “MILESTONES” in Manned Space Voyages—but still it is not without the associated risks,   dramas and excitements. Currently there are two fully operational space stations – the International Space Station (ISS) of USA, and China's Tiangong Space Station (TSS), which have been occupied since October 2000 with Expedition 1 and since June 2022 with Shenzhou 14. The Russian space station Mir re-entered Earth's atmosphere and was destroyed on March 23, 2001, after 15 years in orbit. The station was deorbited in a controlled manoeuvre and fell into the South Pacific Ocean near Nadi, Fiji.  ISRO aims to construct a 20-ton space station by 2030, intending to support microgravity experiments. It will be a manned Space Station. But now whole world is eagerly waiting for safe return of Sunita, a...

LIFE ON MARS

  LIFE ON MARS:ROVER Nasa’s Curiosity Got Scientists Excited SARASIJ MAJUMDER     MARS or MANGAL ( in Indian Astronomy ) can be seen in naked eye, REDDISH, in night, if the sky is clear. It is fourth Planet in solar system, from SUN, after Earth. To the human eye Mars appears red, but the European Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter reveals a striking diversity of colour. Its blue-hued images are arguably some of the most eye-catching and surprising outputs. I have posted the Image. In Greek Mythology, Ares is the Greek counterpart to Mars and is considered the Olympian god of war. While the Romans borrowed their gods and mythology from the Greeks, there are some distinct differences between Ares and Mars. Ares is viewed as more unruly and impetuous, while Mars was depicted as more prudent in his actions. In Indian Mythology, Mars or Mangala (Sanskrit: मङ्गल , IAST: Maá¹…gala) is the personifi...

  NS YAMAL : STRONGEST SHIP N-POWERED RUSSIAN ICE-BREAKER SARASIJ MAJUMDER   While I was working in “PIPAVAV SHIP YARD”   in the capacity of “CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER”—I was investigating, and bidding   in Oil & Gas Projects of   Arctic parts of North Sea. At that time, I got interested in “ICE BREAKERS” , which would be required to service the OIL, & GAS Platforms located there. And also, for Construction purpose. This area is of immense Engineering interest. I share with you the details of STRONGEST ICE BREAKER of the world, presently owned by RUSSIA. It is a ‘BEAST’ of a SHIP indeed! THE STRONGEST SHIP IN THE WORLD is often considered to be the NS Yamal, a nuclear-powered icebreaker of the Russian "Arktika" class. This formidable vessel is designed to navigate and break through the thickest ice in the Arctic Ocean. It is called “SHARK of the ARCTIC” It is named after the Yamal Peninsula (Northwest Siberia). The name's meaning is "End of...

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

  INDIANS EXTRAORDINARY FIRST PART HERE, I WILL COVER THE  OUTSTANDING INDIAN SCIENTISTS, CHRONOLOGICALLY MOVING BACKWARD . 1.0 NEENA GUPTA. In 2014, she was awarded the Young Scientists Award by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) for solving the Zariski Cancellation Problem, posed by Oscar Zariski, one of the most eminent founders of modern algebraic geometry. “One of the best works in algebraic geometry in recent years done anywhere,” was INSA’s remark on Gupta’s solution. In 2021, she was awarded the Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians for her series of outstanding work in affine algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, particularly for the Zariski Cancellation Problem, that had remained unsolved for 60 years until 2014 when Gupta cracked it. With this, she became the third woman and the fourth Indian to win an award given to mathematicians under 45 who have conducted outstanding research in a developing country. “Her research shows impressive al...
