320 Stories To Learn About Deep Learning

There is a recent news feature in , , stating that: Nature Europe spent €600 million to recreate the human brain in a computer. How did it go? “It took 10 years, around 500 scientists and some €600 million, and now the Human Brain Project — one of the biggest research endeavours ever funded by the European Union — is coming to an end. Its audacious goal was to understand the human brain by modelling it in a computer. During its run, scientists under the umbrella of the Human Brain Project (HBP) have published thousands of papers and made significant strides in neuroscience, such as creating detailed 3D maps of at least 200 brain regions, developing brain implants to treat blindness and using supercomputers to model functions such as memory and consciousness and to advance treatments for various brain conditions.” “The HBP was promised €1 billion (US$1.1 billion) in funds. In the end, it received €607 million, including €406 million from the EU, released over four phases and trickled out to labs that competed for grants at each phase. Meanwhile, large brain projects launched or kicked into high gear elsewhere. The United States and Japan both launched brain projects around the same time as the HBP — the former will continue until 2026 and the latter is hoping to run for a total of 15 years. China’s brain project started in 2021, and Australia’s and South Korea’s projects have both entered their seventh year.” The feature quoted a neurophysicist who said, “A project that lasts over ten years, I would expect it to produce a conceptual breakthrough.” It didn’t. The other ongoing large brain projects don’t seem to have produced any conceptual breakthroughs either; so what might the problem be? Breaking Down the Human Brain The brain is a whole, and it is also in parts. The parts have intricacies that have been studied, but characteristics of parts, forming a whole, hold answers to some of the most confounding problems of modern science, most especially mental illnesses. It was “In each hemisphere of our brain, humans have a primary visual cortex, also known as V1, containing 140 million neurons, with tens of billions of connections between them. And yet human vision involves not just V1, but an entire series of visual cortices — V2, V3, V4, and V5 — doing progressively more complex image processing.” stated that There are different parts of the brain involved in different functions, with millions of neurons and billions of connections. So, how can the brain be understood for its processes across circuits? The two most important elements in any brain center are the electrical and chemical impulses of neurons. It is postulated that these impulses with their features and interactions are the human mind. In the V1, as well as in other circuits, all the electrical and chemical impulses form a loop. There are the features of impulses in these loops and how they interact that can be used to explain observations about the brain conceptually. No loop is isolated; they have inter and intra pathways. Can the Brain Predict? A common description of what the brain is said to do predictive coding, processing, and correcting prediction errors. Some have said the brain is a prediction machine, does controlled hallucination, or gives a best guess. There is no evidence anywhere in neuroscience that the brain has a distinct feature to predict anything. Also, there is no standalone function for prediction. If there isn’t, the brain cannot be said to predict or generate predictions, refuting all the assumptions of predictions. What is observed as predictions can be explained as early-splits or go-before of electrical impulses in a loop, where some proceed earlier than others to interact with chemical impulses in that loop like they had done before, such that if the interaction matches with the input, other behind do nothing different, but if it does not, the others go in the right direction. These splits feature also use old sequences as relay paths as well as prioritization or what sets attention. There is no evidence anywhere in neuroscience that the brain has a distinct feature to predict anything. Also, there is no standalone function for prediction. If there isn’t, the brain cannot be said to predict or generate predictions, refuting all the assumptions of predictions. that some electrical impulses in the same loop leap concurrently, to go first before others follow. This explains what is observed as predictions. It also explains how some things are held in mind, in a moment or what is termed working memory or short-term memory. It is postulated It explains things held in mind when speaking, typing, writing, or signing, since they are held in mind or some go first, then others follow as outputs. In a major depressive disorder, with an intense heaviness resulting in the inability to do anything, it is theorized to be a result of a feature of chemical impulses called a principal spot. There is just one principal spot on the mind, with the most domination, for any loop of chemical impulses that moves there. What represents this is the pull-then-clip of some of the stairs or drifts of chemical impulses, exceeding others across the mind. Stairs or drifts of chemical impulses are the decision points of interactions of impulses in loops. When electrical impulses strike chemical impulses in a loop, they shape how chemical impulses in that loop are rationed or filled to produce experiences, learn something new, or for neuroplasticity. The rationing also separates an emotion from a feeling, a taste from a smell, or the degree of touch. In a sharp pain, for example, the rationing or fills are reversed in a direction that results in the intensity. Something close happens with the principal spot where pull, then clip some of the neighboring loops, drawing as many pre-prioritized interactions and dominating, with outcomes such as being unable to do other things or creating effects that slow down other processes. The stairs or drifts are available at the synaptic clefts. some of the stairs or drifts In the visual cortices — V1, V2, V3, and V4, representations of the sight form of objects are encoded and then retrieved, useful to the interpretation of incoming signals. These cortices, as their own loops, use the features and interactions of impulses, with some differences in stairs or drifts — for chemical and electrical impulses. The loops are also able to connect to others, say for the color red, or the spelling, as well as the hearing of the word at the auditory cortex, or some odor say for a red flower at the olfactory cortex. The drifts in these cortices also allow emotions or feelings possible, per instance. What Makes Smell Different From Sight, or What Makes Touch Different From Taste? It is theorized that some brain centers or circuits have multiple loops of electrical and chemical impulses, whose architecture is different due to the differences in how the brain parts of the brain are packed, contributing to how the drifts or stairs are also different. There are nuclei within brain centers that are responsible for different functions; they can be said to be their own loops, where differences in their structures shape the drifts or stairs, for electrical and chemical impulses. The gyri and sulci of the cerebral cortex are hypothesized to play a significant role in how some of the loops of impulses shape functions. Though the cerebellum has more neurons than the cerebral cortex, it has fewer gyri and sulci, which is proposed to lower the amount of loops. Mammals with a smooth brain have loops of impulses for functions, but fewer than in humans. Animals with larger brains than humans have fewer loops of impulses in certain parts [including the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus], even though they have more neurons, gyri, and sulci. Stairs or drifts often break out, to form new loops to prepare then determine growth stages from birth, then at puberty, pregnancy, and certain aging outcomes. Differences in humans with preferences, voices, behaviors, and so forth could also be a result of the intensity [or extensiveness of drifts] of certain loops of impulses. There are a few stairs or drifts that may fade or lose their contribution to the loop, as some synapses become weaker. There are also stairs or drifts that may influence how long some genes, within neurons, stay turned on or off. Lissencephaly could also be referred to as a problem that does not provide states for the required loops for neurons. Polymicrogyria can be said to distort loops or break them, making some incomplete, such that the drift or stairs of impulses, are unable to do what they should. All drifts or stairs of impulses have the sense of self, or subjective experience. Some of them are shaped in a way that allows for control, intentionality, or free will. For example, it is possible to open and close the eyes, but not possible to open the eyes, focus [or prioritization], and decide not to see what is there. The access to control of the eyes is possible, but the sight, even though subjective, is out of control. This applies to several other processes in the body. Some loops may contribute to this free will outcome. This is a conceptual option to understand what happens in the brain, aside, from seeking intricacies that help but do not tell the full story for answers against mental disorders. Dopamine or serotonin are never final; they are rationed in loops whose measures — in the right proportions — with other neurochemicals result in experiences. It is why medications have side effects as receptors are induced or inhibited, then the rations become affected in other circuits. The HBP and several other ongoing large projects would learn more from neuropeptides, genes, and so forth, but the human brain is operationally loop-driven, with a basis in impulses, their features, and interactions.

Neuroscience: The Conceptual Failure of EU’s Human Brain Project and the US BRAIN Initiative

On a new airline. A stewardess enters the passenger cabin: "You are on our new airline. In the nose of the aircraft, we have a cinema hall. In the tail part - a hall of slot machines. On the lower deck - a swimming pool. On the upper deck - a sauna. Now, gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts, and with all these unnecessary things, we're gonna try to take off. Hi, my name is Andrii. I've been working in the IT industry for most of my life. I'm very interested in the evolution of infrastructure configuration management engineering. For the last 8 years, I've been involved in . DevOps One of the fresh popular trends is the concept of , introduced in 2017 by Alexis Richardson, the CEO of Weaveworks. Weaveworks is a large adult company that, in 2020, raised over 36 million in investment to develop its GitOps. GitOps My previous article discussed a . Now, I'm going to try to talk about the non-obvious challenges that may await you when adopting this concept. In short, GitOps is not a "Silver Bullet". You'll likely end up reorganizing with many complicated workarounds. I've been down this road myself and want to show you the most frustrating problems you can't see when reading other articles about GitOps. cost-cutting success story on how we switched from Elastic Stack to Grafana Content Overview What GitOps is and why you (don’t) need it Snowflake Servers Issue GitOps - A Panacea for all Your Problems (or not) The Logic of Using Flux with Helm Custom Flux Resources Checklist for GitOps Violation of the Single Source of Truth Concept Small Conclusion What GitOps is and why you (don`t) need it Let’s dive right in! Stateless and Stateful The most promising concept of infrastructure construction today is immutable infrastructure. Its key idea is to divide infrastructure into 2 fundamentally different parts: Stateless and Stateful. The Stateless part of the infrastructure is immutable and idempotent. It does not accumulate state (does not store data) or change its operation depending on the accumulated state. Instances of the Stateless part may contain some basic artifacts, scripts, and assemblies. As a rule, I create them from base images in cloud/virtualized environments. They are fragile and ephemeral: I deliver new versions of applications by recreating instances from new base images. Persistent data is stored in the Stateful part. It can be realized by the classical scheme with dedicated servers or by some cloud mechanisms (DBaaS, object, or block storage). To make this “zoo” manageable and work correctly, we need collaboration between engineering and DevOps teams, as well as fully automated delivery pipelines. CI part Extreme programming is one of the agile development methodologies. It is distinguished by many feedback loops, which allow you to maintain synchronization with the client's needs. We implement the automation of delivery pipelines using CI/CD systems. The term CI (Continuous Integration) was offered by Grady Booch in 1994, and in 1997 Kent Beck and Ron Jeffries introduced it into the discipline of extreme programming. In CI, we need to integrate our changes as often as possible into the main working branch of our project. This requires, first, a more granular decomposition of tasks: small changes are more atomic and easier to track, understand, and integrate. Second, we can't just merge freshly written code. Before merging branches, we must ensure that nothing that worked before has been broken. To do this, the application should at least be built. It is also a good idea to cover the code with tests. And this is the task performed by CI systems, which have gone a long way in the development and, somewhere in the middle of this path, turned into CI/CD systems. CD part What is a CD? : Martin Fowler distinguishes 2 CD definitions Continuous Delivery. This is when, with the help of Continuous Integration practices and DevOps culture, you keep the main branch of your project constantly ready to be deployed to production. Continuous Deployment. It is Continuous Delivery where everything that goes into the main branch gets dumped into your cluster, into your production. Let’s go further. Snowflake servers issue Unfortunately, immutable infrastructure has several problems. The lion's share of them is inherited from the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). First of all, it is configuration drift. This term was born in the Puppet Labs (authors of the well-known Puppet SCM) and states that not all changes on target systems are made with the help of system configuration management (SCM). Some are done manually, bypassing them. In the process of such multiple changes, configuration drift appears - the difference between the configuration described in SCM and the real state of affairs. This leads to an automation fear spiral. The more manual changes made, the more likely that running an SCM script will break unrecorded changes. The scarier it is to run it, the more likely new manual edits will be made. Eventually, this vicious positive feedback leads to the formation of snowflake servers, which have become so inconsistent that no one understands what's inside anymore. After manual edits, the node becomes as unique as each individual snowflake in a snowfall. This drift leaves the servers at higher levels within immutable infrastructure: now we can talk about GCP Project/AWS VPC/Kubernetes-cluster-snowflakes. This happens because the implementation of changes is not regulated on immutable infrastructure. Moreover, nobody knows how to do it properly. GitOps - a panacea for all your problems (or not) And then Weaveworks comes along and says, "Guys, we have what you need - GitOps". To promote GitOps, they brought in a heavyweight like Kelsey Hightower, who created the . During his PR, he heavily broadcasts the message, "Be a man, b...! Stop Scripting and Start Shipping." And he says a certain amount of marketing bullshit bingo. "Kubernetes the hard way" guide In my opinion, the most exciting benefits were: Improved consistency and standardization of deploys Improved security assurance Easier and faster recovery from errors Easier management of accesses and secrets Self-documenting deploys Knowledge distribution within the team And anyone trying to figure out what GitOps is comes across this textbook slide. Next, we find the GitOps principles, which resemble slightly augmented IaC principles: GitOps is declarative GitOps apps are versioned and immutable GitOps apps are pulled automatically GitOps apps are continuously reconciled Nevertheless, this is a spherical description in a vacuum, so we continue our research. We find the GitOps.tech website and on it several important clarifications. First, we learn that GitOps is an infrastructure-like code in Git with CD tooling that automatically applies this to the infrastructure. We must have at least 2 repositories within GitOps: Application repository. It describes the application source code and manifests that describe the deployment of that application. Infrastructure repository. It describes the infrastructure manifests and the deployment environment. Also, in the GitOps ideology, a pull-oriented approach is preferred over a push-oriented approach. This is somewhat contrary to the evolution of SCM systems from the heavyweight pull monsters Puppet and Chef to the lightweight push-based Ansible and Terraform. And if GitOps is primarily a toolkit story, then it makes sense to take the Flux-based concept from Weaveworks itself and deconstruct it. The authors of the idea must have made a reference implementation. Flux is now up to version 2 and architecturally consists of controllers that work within a cluster: Source controller Kustomize controller HELM controller Notification controller Image automation controllers Next, let`s discuss the work with Flux and Helm. The logic of using Flux with Helm I'm going to further describe the example of deploying an application using Helm package manager in Flux 2. Why? According to , HELM package manager was the most popular Packaging application, with a share of more than 50%. CNCF Survey 2021 Unfortunately, I couldn't find more up-to-date data, but I don't think anything much has changed since then. So, let's walk through the basic logic of how Flux 2 works with Helm. We have 2 repositories: application and infrastructure. We make a HELM chart and docker image from the application repository and add them into the Helm chart repository and docker registry, respectively. Next, we have a Kubernetes cluster running the flux controllers. To roll out our application, we prepare a YAML describing the custom resource (CR) HelmRelease and add it to the infrastructure repository. To help flux get it, we create a CR GitRepository in the Kubernetes cluster. The source controller sees it, goes to git, and downloads it. To deploy this YAML into a cluster, we describe a Customization resource. The Kustomize controller sees it, goes to the Source controller, gets the YAML, and deploys it to the cluster. The Helm controller sees that a CR HelmRelease has appeared in the cluster and goes to the Source controller to get the HELM chart described. For the Source controller to give the HELM controller the requested chart, we must create a HelmRepository in the CR cluster. Helm-controller gets a chart from Source-controller, creates a release, and deploys it to the cluster. Then Kubernetes creates the necessary pods, goes to the docker registry, and downloads the corresponding images. Accordingly, to roll out a new version of our application, we have to make a new image, a new HelmRelease file, and possibly a new HELM chart. Then we must put them into the appropriate repositories and wait for the Flux controllers to repeat the work in the chain described above. And, to end our work, we put a Notification controller somewhere that notifies us of what might have gone wrong. Custom Flux resources Now let's discuss the custom resources that Flux operates with. The first one is the Git repository. Here we can specify the address of the Git repository (line 14) and the branch it looks at (line 10). Thus, we only download a single branch, not the whole repository. But! Since we are responsible engineers and try to adhere to the Zero Trust concept, we lock access to the repository, create a secret with a key in the Kubernetes cluster and give it to Flux so that it can go there (line 12). Next is Kustomization. Here I want to draw your attention to the fact that the Kustomize controller from Flux and Kustomize from the authors of Kubernetes are 2 different things. I don't know why such disorienting naming was chosen, but it is important not to confuse them. Kustomization is a way to deploy YAML (any) from a Git repository to a cluster. Here we have to specify the source where we put it from (line 12 - the name of the CR GitRepository described above), the directory where we take the YAMLs from (line 8), and we can specify the target namespace where to deposit them (line 13). Next is the Helm release. Here we can specify the name and chart version (lines 10,11). Here you specify variable values so Helm can customize the release from environment to environment (lines 15-19). This is an extremely important and necessary feature, as your environments may differ significantly. You also specify the source to take the Helm chart (lines 12, 13, 14). In this case, it is the Helm repository. But! Since we are still responsible engineers, we also have close access to the Helm repository and give Flux a secret to get there (lines 7, 8). Checklist for GitOps So, let's do a little checklist to capture what we just went over. To start doing GitOps, we have to suddenly write a bunch of scripts (we do remember that Immutable infrastructure is all about fully automated delivery pipelines). So first of all, we have to create: Script to build and push images to the Docker registry Infrastructure Git repository Account for CI system access to the infrastructure GIT repository Script to generate and push the HelmRelease file Helm Repository Account for CI system access to the Helm repository Script to build and publish Helm chart` Flux account for infrastructure repository Flux account for the Helm chart repository Great, now you have a checklist for GitOps. Move on. Violation of the Single Source of Truth Concept Let's see what we get with our Helm release in general. It is quite evident that Git cannot be the only source of truth in this particular case. We have at least 2 resources, 2 artifacts outside of git, on which this Helm release depends: Helm chart (lines 8-14) Docker image (line 19) And we can complicate things even more and specify the range of Helm chart versions. In this case, Flux will monitor and set new Helm charts that appear within this range. In addition, the Source controller we have can use YAML as a source, including S3 bundles. From there, we can keep both YAML and Helm charts. In addition, we have Image automation controllers that can keep an eye on new images in the Docker registry and edit the infrastructure repository. But we don't want HELM Chart repo-Ops or Docker registry-Ops. We want to be as GitOps as possible. So we look at the documentation and correct the processes to deploy our Helm chart from the GIT repository (we choose the application repository to store it). This forces us to make another CR GitRepository for the application repository, an account for Flux to access it, and create a secret with keys. At the same time, we do not solve the problem of a complicated dependency on Docker image in any way. Small Conclusion I think that's enough for today. In the 2 part, I will tell you what problems this goodness has. I will discuss: Multiple environments problem Values from Secrets problem CI Ops vs GitOps Security Rollback procedure Multiple cluster problem Who really needs GitOps? I hope this article was useful for you!

In some ways, the past year felt like a wilder ride than the raging bull market of 2021! Yet beyond all the chaos and drama we faced in 2022, we also undoubtedly made promising advances in all directions. From new experiments to new platforms and new protocols, there’s never been more to do and never been more to be excited about around digital things. That said, the fundamental reasons that many of us were excited about NFTs going into 2022 are the same reasons we’re still excited about them as we head into the new year. In other words, the tech around NFTs continues to improve, bringing better efficiency and security. Mainstream adoption continues to pick up steam. And the ability for NFTs to disrupt and revolutionize traditional industries, like collectibles and gaming, will maintain them as big drivers of innovation for the foreseeable future. 2023 is poised to be another interesting year, then, to say the least!

Dear Hackers, The FTX blowup has been a stark reminder that people who can abuse a tremendous amount of power often will. Amid the ugliness of this episode, we’re also reminded why decentralized finance is so important. https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1590737576910258182?s=20&t=CHpCowHoHEIOalp_nbnYBQ?embedable=true Through disintermediating and opening up finance, DeFi can help prevent the sorts of abuses of power that have shocked the cryptoeconomy this week. https://twitter.com/0xfoobar/status/1590794499688902657?s=20&t=cHjtPS_6gJxfZr1i0wkyRQ?embedable=true That said, there’s still a ton of work to do to help rebuild sentiments and advance DeFi further. DeFi 1.0 has been a great start, but new experiments and innovations are needed to usher in a second DeFi golden era. Toward that end, NFTs are a way forward. From underpinning decentralized credit scores to prediction markets, NFTs will play an increasingly pivotal role in reenvisioning and actualizing DeFi’s full potential. Why’s that, you ask? Because NFTs unlock new possibilities around identity and sociality that DeFi simply didn’t have in its initial push. These new possibilities will make for new evolutions. In other words, DeFi will rise out of the FTX fallout stronger than ever, and the DeFi x NFT crossroads is going to be a big part of that. In the meantime, thanks for reading everyone, hold in there, and let’s get you up to speed on the biggest NFT headlines of the week for now. -WMP 📣 General NFT News , a wallet discovery tool I , is moving out of closed beta .
