Various short articles to teach you about topics I think are cool.

AI

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) : Chat-based LLMs interact in a conversational manner by predicting and generating text based on the input they receive. They use patterns and information from their training data to construct responses that are coherent and contextually relevant to the user’s query.

  • LLM Fusion : This approach to using LLMs harnesses the collective intelligence of multiple state-of-the-art language models to conduct deep research.

  • Recursive AI Acceleration : With the concept of Recursive AI Acceleration, human researchers and engineers building the next generation of AI models can now use previous AI models to speed up their research and development process.

Computing

  • Progressive Web Apps (PWA) : A Progressive Web App (PWA) is an innovative approach to delivering web content that bridges the gap between traditional websites and mobile apps.

  • Quantum Computers : Quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than classical computers, with widespread adoption expected around 2030-2035.

Energy

  • Bifacial Solar Panels : Bifacial solar panels are a type of solar panel that can capture sunlight from both sides, effectively doubling their energy production compared to traditional solar panels.

  • Perovskite Solar Cells : Perovskite solar cells are a type of next-generation solar cell that uses a perovskite-structured compound as the light-harvesting active layer.

  • Solid-State Batteries : Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries that use a liquid electrolyte, solid-state batteries employ a solid material to store and transfer energy. This seemingly small change leads to four significant improvements.

Material Science

Robotics and Autonomous Tech

  • Self-Driving Car Levels : The levels of self-driving cars are defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and range from Level 0 to Level 5.
