Machine Learning VS Artificial Intelligence

-
Image
Now a days Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has become comman in day to day life. People usually get confused between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning  now today i am going to tell your briefly about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. AI and machine learning are often used interchangeably, especially in the realm of big data. But these aren’t the same thing, and it is important to understand how these can be applied differently.   Artificial intelligence is a broader concept than machine learning, which addresses the use of computers to mimic the cognitive functions of humans. When machines carry out tasks based on algorithms in an “intelligent” manner,  that  is AI. Machine learning is a subset of AI and focuses on the ability of machines to receive a set of data and learn for themselves, changing algorithms as they learn more about the information they are processing.  Training computers to think like hum...

Difference between HTML and HTTP

-
Image
Many folks get confused between these two terms which are associated with the Web. Are they really same? First thing first. HTML is a Language while HTTP is a Protocol. Doesn’t make much sense..? it’s okay! We’ll discuss it in more detail. HTML ( H yper t ext  M arkup  L anguage) is a language for marking the normal text so that it gets converted into hypertext. Again, not so clear. Basically, HTML tags (e.g. “<head>”, “<body>” etc.) are used to  tag  or  mark  normal text so that it becomes hypertext and several hypertext pages can be interlinked with each other resulting in the Web. Please note that the HTML tags are used to help render web pages as well in the Browser. On the contrary, HTTP ( H yper t ext  T ransfer  P rotocol) is a protocol for transferring the hypertext pages from Web Server to Web Browser. For exchanging web pages between Server and Browser, an HTTP session is setup using protocol methods (e.g. G...

What are APIs..? How do they work..?

-
Image
What is an API? What exactly is an API? We hear about  how valuable APIs  are all the time; our founder, Ross Mason, often says that they will have a  significant impact  on business. However, what is the definition of an API? API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.  In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you’re requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you. An API defines functionalities that are  independent of their respective implementations , which allows those implementations and definitions to vary without compromising each other. Therefore, a good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing the building blocks. How do APIs work? Imagine a waiter in a restaurant.  You, the customer, are sitting at the table with a menu of choices to order from, an...

Ping V/s Traceroute

-
Image
In computer networks, data is sent in small blocks known as packets. Each packet is transmitted individually and may also follow different route to reach the destination. Once all these packets of the original message reach the destination, they are re-assembled to form the original message. But, sometimes, it may happen that the web server is down, network congestion or some other technical glitch is there, that may prevent the message from reaching the destination. To diagnose such congestions and network failures, we use two common programs namely Ping and Traceroute. Ping  – It is a utility that helps one to check if a particular IP address is accessible or not. Ping works by sending a packet to the specified address and waits for the reply. It also measures round trip time and reports errors. Ping is also used in checking if the computers on a local network are active. For this, the user has to go in command prompt and type : ping 127.0.0.1, and if the address is a...

Tips to protect small companies from Cyber attack.

-
Image
Are you the owner of a small company? If the answer is yes and you think no cyber attack will ever affect you, think again. In fact, there’s a higher risk of getting into trouble with hackers than if you were a big business, or even a medium-sized one. According to recent reports, more than 40% of cyber attacks are aimed at companies who employ under 500 people. A more worrisome study says that one in five small businesses are targeted by hackers. More often than not, these companies have to close down because their security plans are nonexistent or there’s too few of them to actually ensure complete protection. Cybersecurity is the most important way to make sure your business isn’t put in danger by malware attacks. Especially when the people behind them show no signs of backing down. Thus, putting strong security measures in place is, like we said, essential if you don’t want to lose your life’s work and your clients’ trust. After all, the latter expect their sensitive data to be...

'Flick' New Unit Of time invented by Facebook

-
Image
We don't have the time to dig into all the different ways someone could measure time. Generally, we structure our lives around years, months, days, hours ... you know, the big ones. The easy ones. But time measurements can get as nitty gritty as you need them to. In Facebook's case, the company needed a unit of time that just wasn't there. So they invented an entirely new one.           Allow us to introduce you to the "flick," the new unit of time developed by a Facebook engineer. Chances are, you won't be measuring how long you've been on the treadmill or how long to cook your turkey in flicks. But for a select group, the new unit could become quite helpful. Initially created by Christopher Horvath in late 2016 and launched by Facebook Open Source in January 2018 , the flick is equal to precisely one 705,600,000th of a second. It's just a tad longer than a nanosecond, but still shorter than a microsecond. Finally , right? Like we said, u...

One Character message can even Crash an iPhone. Must Read.!

-
Image
Only a single character can crash your iPhone and block access to the Messaging app in iOS as well as popular apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Outlook for iOS, and Gmail. First  spotted.  by Italian Blog Mobile World, a potentially new severe bug affects not only iPhones but also a wide range of Apple devices, including iPads, Macs and even Watch OS devices running the latest versions of their operating software. Like previous 'text bomb' bug, the new flaw can easily be exploited by anyone, requiring users to send only a single character from Telugu—a native Indian language spoken by about 70 million people in the country. Once the recipient receives a simple message containing the symbol or typed that symbol into the text editor, the character immediately instigates crashes on iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and Apple TVs running Apple's iOS Springboard. Apps that receive the text bomb tries to load the character, but fails and refuses to function pro...
