#100 Days of Code - Initialize.....

As the world Undergoes the Covid-19 lockdown everything is going at slow pace be at Academics , or Internship procedure in University  , while my college figure out the plans on how to carry out the exams and continue with the remaining semester while the company I am going to join as Interm reschedule the timeline in match with the college calender , its been over the month i  came back home in end of  march and with the few lectures going on microsoft teams there was plenty of time to get on things i didnt get time for from  cooking , to hardware teardown & repair  , plenty of sleep , clean formating and upgrading Ubuntu 18 to 20 LTS while seting up windows 10 in dual boot this time .
To Help with students stuck at home due to the pandemic many educational websites have provided with free access to student on their otherwise paid courses which helped me keep up with learning pace and accelerated my journey to collect the infinity stones i need for snapping my project into existence 

Made this Image a year back for a ppt , when Endgame had released

So I signed up on Plurasight (for Web Develeopment and C++ 14,17 course), Progate (to get stared with JS beginner), Codeacademy (complete JS and Node.js) , and my college Coursera acces for Python and ML) , with Leetcode 30 days challenge throught april , built my Notes repo Notex using github pages , CI/CD build and Mkdocs to collect all those precious code in a searchable portal

With no major submission in University until June for now and to actually get hands dirty with things as I learn them will start with #100DaysofMachineLearning , #100DaysofCode , with a daily progress update and notes on my learning and ProjectX update Starting May-1 lets see how long the Streak continues :)  

PS: Also to write more and utilise my domain 🤣

Course Checkpoint : Ai for Everybody by Andrew Ng on Coursera

Utilising the Enterprise Coursera Premium Subscripition provided by the University and to brush up my Machine learning and other skills required as i build my project X for now will use Couersera content , to understand the dynamics of AI teams in organisations and to gain a broader view of the AI in Industry beyond the DIY and small learning projects we do as students I completed this excellent course taught by Andrew Ng and with the tips and tricks picked from Siraj Raval , like watching the videos at 2x and greater now i can easily watch videos at 2.20x and even greater sometimes and completed the entire course in less than week 

Things taught in course were :

- The meaning behind common AI terminology, including neural networks, machine learning, deep learning, and data science
- What AI realistically can--and cannot--do
- How to spot opportunities to apply AI to problems in your own organization
- What it feels like to build machine learning and data science projects
- How to work with an AI team and build an AI strategy in your company
- How to navigate ethical and societal discussions surrounding AI


As i went through the course i made my E-notes [Screenshot of the slides] so that in case i need to look it up later or use same example to explain the concept to someone else can easily  look back to

My Notes on Medium  :  [Notes] Ai- For Everyone by Deeplearning.ai on Coursera by Andrew Ng

My Course Completion Certificate : Coursera Certificate

Next up Python Course + Python for Webscraping and Visualisation for the Project Requirements , then later ML and DL ones , shifted my harshityadav95.blogspot.com to blog.harshityadav.in , will post updates here but will keep complete techincal ones on mediun [but wont post it behind the metered Medium wall,technical posts and learing should be free to all]

Step 1 : Learning to Learn Faster 

10 Ways to Learn Anything Faster

Takeaway :

1) Have a will power and mental confidence that you can learn it. 

2) Create your own curriculum  (using reference of some University and other College Course), then write your own path you will be following to achieve it 

3) 2 hours a day is Minimum , and make Learning Goals which requires Implementation 

4) Instead of following the Quotes and Motivation always know why you are learning this and your end goal

5) Learn to meditate  and Meditate at least 5-10 min in the Morning

6) Do Cardiovascular exercise (something like ecstatic dance) in morning and after learning something new for better memory retention  

7) Use the Pomodore technique

8) Take small breaks after a session

9) Use Multiple split windows and Tabs as you learn and watch Videos  

10) If you don't understand anything find ELI5 (explain like i am 5 year Old on Internet)

11) Use Chrome Extension call Spreed for speed reading text in the browser  

12) Watch the Videos at 2X ,(it will be harder at first and in some videos but your brain muscles will get adapted to it over time)

13 Make some Handwritten Notes even when you are typing or when your area of work doesn't require writing with hand .

14) Learn by doing , Trying  

15) When Trying , the Application doesn't need to be a defined problem set and you can use you own case 

16) Use you Knowledge as a tool and educate others (Teaching others) or teach yourself by speaking out loud.

17) Find a Study Group or a study buddy or make some self study deck and slides 

18) Eat well , you are what you eat   

19) Sleep Well ,Use Blue light filter before going to sleep 

" There is a Smaller Number of People those who can do Math , there is even a smaller number who can explain it , but those who do both they become Billionaire " 

-  Axelrod

Step 2: Be It Computer Science or Machine Learning , Face it

 How to Learn Mathematics Fast

Takeaway :

• Use the Formula Charts and Cheat Sheets
• Gamify the Problem Solving like "Brilliant" and "Variant" or the Game True Learn
• Make your own Curriculum
• Use the ADEPT Method (Analogy, Diagram , Example , Plain English, Technical Definition, Personal Definition for difficult terms)

Secure and Private AI Scholarship Challenge Nanodegree Program

Learning Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning  has been on my To-do-List since end of 2017 and I started it a little back then playing around demo projects and following up step by step DIY posts on Machine Learning for Beginner but that time Block chain got my most of the spare time  ,since then I didn't give time  to advance skill-set on it so fast forward to few weeks backs when I was looking around for how to begin with Machine Learning and among all the online courses to follow up and came across the Udacity - Secure and Private Ai Challenge applied for it and this came in Mail Today 😀🌟

the course dives fast into deep learning and with less prior knowledge and hands with machine learning there will be a lot of knowledge gap for me to fill in so will be making a doc trail of my progress from scratch in the Wiki Section of the this Github Repo  , Really excited about it and lets see what area of ML draws me the most .

Changing to Speed Lane : Reliance Jio GigaFiber / JioFiber Installation and Setup

Jio 4g Tariff ....Airtel vs  Jio ....Fiber is Superior  ........[fast forward to present day] with Reliance Jio creating disruption in Indian Telecommunication space with Jio it was now the turn of Broadband a at home , being a heavy pc and data used I knew as soon as Jio would come to my locality I would switch to it as soon as possible because however good Airtel Service has been in my Area their offering has not been able to match with their competitions in past few years in Broadband space like Speed upto 100Mbps and Fiber Connectivity or Volte Service when all these services with  are offered by the competitors at smaller price ,so as soon as the booking for GigaFiber started I was among the first ones to signup

Registration : Refundable Installation fees of Rs 4500 (can be paid using Card, Paytm)along with copy of ID proof and photo if not using Aadhar with Online Receipt generated

Offer : initially 100Mbps Broadband with Unlimited Data , with addition of Landline and TV connection on same fiber as soon as it comes in testing phase or becomes available in my area and no Monthly Charges until the public roll-out of the service [expected in December of this year]

Timeline :

Day1 Sunday : Completed Registration and got SMS confirmation with Booking Number

Day2  Monday : Public Holiday

Day3 Tuesday : Installation Guy Came had to reschedule for later on customer care

Day4 : Installation was quick hardly took an hour , the fiber cable is super tin and flexible to install and mount on walls the wifi was up and running , after few hours of playing with router dashboard and doing some tests myself here are few observations

• After Installation router takes about an hour to fetch and update to the  new dashboard and if Logged in before that into dashboard after update the dashboard will appear all broken so clear your cache
• The Ping time was very high initially about 44 ms sometimes which reduced to 7ms  later 
• Maybe its the crowded channel in my residence but device using only 2.4Ghz Band aren't able to get speed test reading past 60 Mbps even when sitting next to Router other devices on 5Ghz Channel  only are reaching max to 98Mbps
• Couldn't find the setting to automatic schedule wifi to turn off at certain time at night 
• When there is some network problem in  Jio Giga Fiber  from backend the essential websites [>_<]  whatsapp , facebook  , google , Instagram, youtube keep working but sites like Github , Twitter , Azure Portal , even my own domain did not load for a while on entire network but other sites worked perfectly 
• There are no manuals or instruction to play around with the router yet online 
• One thing I noticed with Jio Fiber is that the IP address is not reachable from outside even the iPv6 it's like a double NAT / Jio Firewall. It's not an issue for normal users but if you are planning to host a server that won't be reachable from outside .
• [will update about it later ]FTP, VoIP , IPtv Service
