Internet Service Providers (ISP), Cloud Service Providers (CSP), Data Center Engineers and Academics use the OpenDaylight (ODL) platform to tailor and automate computer networks. Professionals and Academics use ODL to execute several use-cases:...
This month's blog post continues to discuss the evolution from hierarchical to Flat Internet Ptotocol (IP) Architectures for mobile networks. Be sure to read Part One if you have not already. This post briefly discusses the components of mobile...
I wrote this white paper a while back. This paper discusses the evolution from hierarchical to Flat IP Architectures for mobile networks. This information may be of interest to mobile network architects, especially in light of the emergence of...
I purchased the new 8BitDo M30 Bluetooth controller for my System76 (Ubuntu) Laptop. I connected the M30 to RetroPie and then noticed issues with button layout for certain Six (6) Button Sega Genesis games. In this blog post I will walk us...
Machine Learning (ML) Engineers at Jasper Artificial Intelligence (AI) (non-affiliate link) trained a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model on 10% of the written content on the Internet to create a service that writes text on command. A user...
Over the air communications, such as text messages, satellite radio, walkie talkies and WiFi need to deal with the unpredictable effects of noise in the channel. Coding theory attempts to make noisy channels more reliable by bringing the noise...
Engineers face the reality of imperfect and noisy channels when designing digital communication systems (DCS). The engineers must account for signal degradation to ensure that a receiver receives the message that the transmitter intended....
In part one of this two-part series, I developed a Reduced Columb Energy (RCE) classifier in Python. RCE calculates hit footprints around training data and uses the footprints to classify test data. RCE draws a circle around each labeled training...
The free and open Ethereum platform delivers the following benefits to developers and end-users: Impervious to censorship Native payment system Universal, plug and play Database Global, anonymous login 100% Uptime This blog post demonstrates how...
Darkblock provides a decentralized application that lets creators sell (and manage) digital content directly to consumers without the need for any intermediate, proprietary or bureaucratic services. Their splash page touts content access controls...
Brave Software developed a privacy-focused browser, that (unlike competitors) blocks all online advertisements and web trackers by default. Brave Rewards pays out content providers crypto based on views. In order to get paid, you must get Brave...
In Pattern Classification Using Neural Networks (IEEE Communications Magazine, Nov. 1989) Richard P. Lippman provides the following definition of Exemplar neural net classifiers: [Exemplar classifiers] perform classification based on the identity...
Satellite system engineers consider the narrow beams (which lend themselves to frequency reuse) and high data rates of Ka band channels attractive for communication systems [Khan 2]. As a result, the satellite community witnessed a great increase...
Data Scientists need skill and experience to create useful Machine Learning (ML) models. ML activities include tool selection, training logistic decisions (move data to training vs. train in-situ), data acquisition, data cleaning, data quality...
Good Vs. Evil - Two Opposing paths Taken by a Similar Genius This blog post provides a comparison between Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Ted Kaczynski's Unabomber Manifesto. To compare these two works, I use both a modern Natural Language...
NFTs provide an immutable record of ownership for digital assets, verified by the global Ethereum Blockchain. The Blockchain tracks ownership of NFTs until the end of human civilization. 2021 ushered in speculative mania in every conceivable...
Rarible enables artists to mint, sell and trade one-of-a-kind digital collectibles in the form of Non Fungible Tokens (NFT). The Ethereum blockchain records the provenance of each NFT in a secure, distributed ledger that will last until the end...
Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) allow collectors to own unique, scarce digital assets. NFT protocols record ownership and provenance on the Ethereum Blockchain. Recent offerings from Jack Dorsey, Logan Paul and Lindsey Lohan helped fuel the current...
I started my AI/ML journey in 2011 with a laptop model, a term which indicates a measure of size. Laptop models, by definition, do not exceed the compute, memory and storage resources of a single piece of hardware. The laptop model approach works...
Model optimization on traditional Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) platforms requires considerable Data Architect expertise and judgement. These ML platforms require the Architect to choose from dozens of available training...
In this demonstration we continue to use Keras and TensorFlow 2.3 to explore data, normalize data, and build both a linear model and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to solve a regression problem. Today we use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to...
In this demonstration we will use Keras and TensorFlow 2.3 to explore data, normalize data, and build both a linear model and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to solve a regression problem. TensorFlow Core 2.3 includes tf.keras, which provides the high...
Network Engineers use the OpenDaylight (ODL) platform to craft, deploy and manage interesting virtual network services. Internet Service Providers, Cloud Service Providers, Data Center Engineers and Academics use ODL to address the following...
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elasticsearch service provides GROUP BY operations via the aggregations, or AGGS, Application Programming Interface (API). GROUP BY and AGGS operations provide syntax to collapse rows with similar values into summary...
Operational document stores require backups for disaster recovery and data migration. Elasticsearch uses the term snapshot for their backups. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a fully managed Elasticsearch service that includes both automatic...
