And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

normies aren't for me ngl. only this community matches my energy tbh. if you proceed to point out the fact that a normie is missing a point or tell them they're heading to the wrong direction about certain things, they instantly respond with "you say that to me because you think you're better than me". that's why i hate social activities at all.
In loneliness, the lonely one eats himself; in a crowd, the many eat him. Now choose.

bro learned coding coz someone told him he was dumb enough not to code. now he is up to making a history. huge win for a mentor and friend @beka_cru

A recent hack by YouTuber ChromaLock allows the Texas Instruments TI-84 calculator to connect to the internet and access ChatGPT, making it a potent tool for cheating during tests. The modification involves adding a custom circuit board, the TI-32, along with a Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller, allowing users to input questions into ChatGPT directly from the calculator's keypad. The hardware and software modifications, shared as open-source projects, turn the calculator into an advanced tool that can bypass anti-cheating measures like Test Mode.
Beyond ChatGPT access, the mod includes an image viewer to store cheat sheets, and the ability to download various apps, offering tools like chat functions and hidden text resources. Although the device appears unmodified externally, these features, once activated, are difficult to detect, raising concerns about its use in academic settings. Replicating this project requires a TI-84, specific microcontroller components, and some technical know-how.

In Washington DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, a man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
After about four minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About four minutes later, the violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At six minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At ten minutes, a three-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.
At forty-five minutes: The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About twenty gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After one hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

Key Takeaway: Everything loses its value if the environment isn't conscious enough to appreciate them or if it is a wrong place. You can be of a rockstar dev and still be viewed as the "useless" member in the society. Back in highschool, i knew pretty much a lot about computers for my age. Didn't get the chance to connect with like-minded peers in-person. So i had to maintain a good relationship with my online friends and keep myself disciplined when there was no one to push me to my limit. Just the environment wasn't good. When i wrote my little programming language called "hahu", no one gave a shit except one technical friend. So if you're doing exceptional things but no one really understands ur hard work, just try to change ur circle. as of programming, join clubs, participate in hackatons, and network a lot. as of other fields, do things that shows off ur skills and put yourself to the market; ain't the time to keep ur personal brand and worry what others say. Even a right decision on a wrong time is wrong.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN): A Paradigm Shift in Network Control and Management
been a little while since i wrote a #TakeAByte series. so lemme just start with this one
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) represents a significant departure from traditional network architectures, offering a paradigm shift in how networks are designed, controlled, and managed. It fundamentally separates the network control plane from the data plane, enabling greater flexibility, programmability, and automation in network operations.
The Traditional Network Model: A Closed System
Traditional networks operate as a closed system where network hardware (switches, routers) and control logic are tightly integrated. Configuration and management are typically done through proprietary interfaces on the devices themselves, limiting flexibility and hindering rapid adjustments.
SDN: Decoupling Control and Data
SDN decouples the control plane (network intelligence and logic) from the data plane (packet forwarding). This separation is crucial for SDN's key benefits:
Centralized Control: A central SDN controller manages the network's configuration and behavior, offering a unified view and simplifying complex network operations.
Abstraction: SDN controllers communicate with network devices through standard protocols, abstracting away the intricacies of specific hardware models. This facilitates vendor-agnostic network management.
Programmability: SDN controllers can be programmed using open APIs, allowing for customized network policies, automation, and integration with external systems.
Benefits of SDN
Increased Agility: Networks can adapt quickly to changing needs, such as traffic surges, application requirements, or security threats.
Simplified Network Management: Centralized control and automation streamline network tasks, reducing complexity and human error.
Enhanced Security: SDN's programmable nature enables dynamic security policies and fine-grained control over network access.
Cost Optimization: Automated provisioning, reduced manual configuration, and flexible hardware utilization lead to cost savings.
Challenges of SDN Adoption
Complexity: SDN requires a shift in network management practices and expertise in software development and network virtualization.
Security Concerns: Centralized control raises security concerns about single points of failure and potential vulnerabilities in the controller.
Interoperability: Achieving interoperability between different SDN controllers and network devices remains a challenge.
Future of SDN
SDN is evolving rapidly, with advancements in network virtualization, orchestration, and automation. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) promises to further enhance network intelligence and self-optimization capabilities.
Conclusion
SDN represents a fundamental change in how networks are managed, offering significant advantages in terms of flexibility, programmability, and efficiency. As SDN technology continues to mature, it is poised to transform network operations and drive the evolution of networking towards a more agile, automated, and intelligent future.
