“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill — the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the pill — you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.” — Morpheus to Neo in ‘The Matrix’ red Although the notion of Open Data and especially Open Government Data has been around for quite some time; the idea started gaining traction circa 2009. Open Government Data started becoming visible in the mainstream with various Governments such as the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand among others announcing numerous initiatives towards opening up their public information. The Indian Government also released some of its data as a part of the Open Government Data initiative on the . These datasets are substantially large in nature and their value lies in how these can be reused and recombined in multiple ways. website A woman in Denmark built , which showed all Danish public toilets. So people with bladder problems can trust themselves to go out more. The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology has created a service called (I’m not a big fan of the UI here) that shows the city’s air quality (you could also look at ). In New York you can easily find out where you can walk your dog, as well as other people who use the same parks. ‘Round’ is an app that lets you find out the most beautiful route to take when going to a place, rather than the shortest distance. Services like ‘mapumental’ in the UK and ‘mapnificent’ in Germany allow you to find places to live, taking into account the duration of your commute to work, housing prices, and how beautiful an area is. All these applications make use of Open Data. findtoilet.dk SAFAR-air OpenAQ How to successfully Open Data Releasing Open Data is largely considered to be the domain of big data collectors and aggregators like Governments, and large organizations like Google, Facebook, and the likes. This however is not the whole story. Even individuals can contribute to this large pool of open data for others to recombine and reuse in their projects. Here is an example of open data released by an individual. I mapped all the tea stalls in the IIT Bombay campus and created a to know which shops are open during what times of the day. The data collected for the application was released openly as a . simple application CSV file Openness of data means that anyone is free to use this data for any purposes without any restrictions from copyrights, patents and other control mechanisms. Cheap and easy access to this data is paramount for it to be used in novel ways. There are a few thumb rules one could follow when releasing open data : Data provided should be easily machine readable. The most common machine readable formats are tabular data structures like CSV, TSV; widely popular formats like JSON, geoJSON among others. Stay away from PDFs or Word files when releasing Open data since these are difficult to parse. Keep it simple: A constant updating and inflow of new data is important. Data already available should be digitized. Move fast: It is impossible to have accurate data at all times. Sometimes good enough is good enough. More data often always trumps accurate data. It is better to give raw data now than perfect data six months later. Embrace the messiness. This does not mean the data should be blatantly incorrect or false, however it needs to provide room for inaccuracy. Perfection is a non-existent state. Be pragmatic: Giving cheap and easy access through a download on the internet or some other means should be the first priority of Open data providers. Slight inaccuracies are forgivable and the decision to release the data is at the data providers’ discernment. What about security Providing cheap and easy access to data enables a large number of individuals to use it in clever ways. It is of great value to the Governments themselves. With the data already available, people ask less questions (or more but important ones) which in turn increases efficiency and reduces costs. However, it should also be considered that not all data can be made public and there will always be exceptions to providing access to sensitive data related to national security and the likes. Not all data is of this nature though, and there will be proponents that would argue against opening any public data due to security concerns. However, I believe that the bad guys will get the data anyway, through open or closed means. There are more good guys in the world than the bad ones and keeping the data secret does more harm than good for us. The goal is to take the species forward, and in the information age, data is the catalyst. It is difficult to imagine the full potential of using and reusing Open data. The possibilities are endless; like how Dr.John Snow (not from Game of Thrones) used the map of England and location of cholera victims to find the cause of the outbreak at the dawn of the 19th century. This led to discovering that cholera was a waterborne disease. There are numerous opportunities now, more than ever, since data is so abundantly available. Dr.John Snow and the famous cholera outbreak map Many of the Open datasets are extremely large and it would be difficult, and in many cases impossible for humans to sift through the data manually and generate insights. These datasets easily contain more than a billion data points and are being used extensively to make important decisions related to our lives. We even have a name for this now. Behold BIG DATA!

portrays a grim future in which people’s minds are trapped in a computer-generated simulation while their bodies are harvested for electricity to power robotic metropolises. The Matrix Similarly, modern society’s dependence on technology is not only tangible — our reliance on mechanized means of production for our sustenance and standards of living — but also intangible. Indeed, our growing dependence on digital mediums for subsistence and leisure makes the dystopian future portrayed in bear an increasing resemblance to our reality. The Matrix The deepening human-machine dependence From electricity and refrigeration to transportation and medicine, modern standards of living depend on machines. Similarly, in , the residents of Zion — humankind’s last surviving colony on what remains of Earth after sentient robots usurped control — rely heavily on machinery to survive. As Hamann, a senior council member, notes during a conversation with Neo, “I like to be reminded that this city survives because of these machines.”¹ He gestures toward the vast underground apparatus recycling Zion’s air and water supply, “I think about all those people still plugged into the Matrix and when I look at these machines, I can’t help thinking that in a way, we are plugged into them.”² The Matrix Neo challenges Hamann’s characterization of the human-machine relationship, “We control these machines, they don’t control us…If we wanted, we could shut [them] down.”³ While it is true that the machines keeping Zion alive are created and operated by humans and are no more sentient than our kitchen appliances, turning them off is not a viable option. Zion’s survival depends on the machinery just as much as the machinery depends on Zion for its continued operation. The parallels between the survivors living in Zion and modern society are undeniable but hardly surprising: they both share the same basic needs and necessities such as air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat. More striking are the parallels between our reality and the Matrix-conjured virtual world and its inhabitants. From online dating to remote work, success in our personal and professional lives increasingly hinges on what happens on-screen. As the boundary between the digital and analog worlds becomes increasingly blurred, these similarities are growing stronger. We have come to rely on the Internet for navigation, banking, communication, and more. Moreover, from online dating to remote work, success in our personal and professional lives increasingly hinges on what happens on-screen. Even our idle time is spent online: streaming shows on Netflix, watching short-form videos on TikTok, listening to music on Spotify, and countless other forms of digital entertainment. Leisure time used to be active, involving physical interactions with others or with our environment — in the ‘real’ world. Now, however, much of our interactions are digital, taking place in a virtual world. According to a study by Nielsen, the average American adult spent almost 12 hours on-screen in 2019⁴ — nearly three-quarters of their waking hours. More recent studies suggest that screen time has continued to increase around the world, partly due to the lasting effects of the Covid-19 lockdowns. As a result, we have become more passive — a culture of readers rather than speakers, spectators rather than direct participants. This shift is a natural consequence of having much of what we do, think, and feel transpire via a digital medium, such as our smartphones. We might as well be plugged into those devices like the unwitting masses in . The Matrix More than science fiction The parallels between our reality and Wachowskis’ imagination are more than figurative. Every product catering to our digital cravings runs on vast data centers, each consuming as much electricity as a small town. In the United States alone, data centers account for approximately 2% of the country’s total electricity usage,⁵ equivalent to the energy consumption of almost 7 million people.⁶ It is the users’ time and attention — hours of their lives every day — that pays for the data centers’ maintenance and energy bills. We call them “server farms,” but it is the users whose time and data are harvested, making screen-glued netizens eerily reminiscent of the Matrix-plugged souls serving as robotic batteries. The human-machine dependence is mutual — in the movie and the real world alike. Though subjugated, humankind in becomes the lifeblood of the robotic world. Machines grow, harvest, and recycle human bodies in vast dystopian farms as their sole source of electricity. Humans are to machines as agriculture is to humankind. Agent Smith, a sentient program designed by the Machines to keep order in the Matrix, even refers to humans as “crops.”⁷ The Matrix We call them “server farms,” but it is the users whose time and data are harvested, making screen-glued netizens eerily reminiscent of the Matrix-plugged souls serving as robotic batteries. Modern society’s digital pastimes have a similar dependence on their users. The more time we spend interacting with digital entertainment products, the better they get at catering to our cravings. Netflix learns to recommend the types of shows we prefer; TikTok fine-tunes its videos to match our fancy; Spotify adapts its playlists to mirror our music taste. The data we produce through our interactions is the fodder for the recommendation algorithms powering these platforms. The user base of digital platforms is vital not only to their proper functioning but also to their very survival. There would be no or without subscribers and no TikTok or Instagram without the ad revenue made possible by their vast audiences. The history of the Internet, however brief, is littered with corpses of former social media giants that suffocated as their user base dwindled: MySpace, Friendster, Vine, and many more met such untimely demise. Those that survived, such as Yahoo or AOL, are mere shadows of their former selves. Netflix Spotify The Machines operating the Matrix are comparably reliant on their ‘userbase.’ When human crop yields declined in the wake of the ceasefire Neo made possible, it caused an energy shortage so large that Machines turned on each other. General Niobe, humankind’s new leader, retells the events following the human-machine truce: “Nothing can breed violence like scarcity. For the first time, we saw Machines at war with one another.”⁸ The strife for survival in the face of scarce resources echoes the fierce competition among digital giants for our time and attention. Red pill or blue pill? To maximize user engagement, the Internet is shaped by our desire for instant gratification and sensationalism over meaningful, in-depth content. It is a mirror of our desires, not aspirations. Sensationalist, clickbait headlines attract more eyeballs than balanced, long-form journalism. Users’ attention is drawn to tabloid, tragedy, and mindless content such as cat or dance videos in an endless dopamine-driven feedback loop. Similarly, the Matrix is created not as an ideal world — free of war, famine, and disease — but as one its inhabitants desired, with all the good and the bad that comes with the human condition. Agent Smith observes, “I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.”⁹ Comparing Smith’s observation to the kind of online content that draws the most views and the highest engagement, it is clear that it applies equally to the present-day Internet. It is a reminder that we must be mindful of the content we consume and the role it plays in shaping not only our online spaces but also our perception of reality and each other. Unlike the denizens of the Matrix, who are connected to the digital simulation unknowingly and without consent, we have a great deal of agency over how we spend our time. No one forces us to download TikTok or watch Netflix; we do so by choice. We choose to engage in passive consumption, often over reconnecting with old friends, going to the gym, or doing any number of other activities we, deep down, know we should be doing instead. In the near future, technologies under active development today may bring humanity ever closer to . Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, makes no secret of his company’s ambition to create a ‘metaverse’ where many of our real-world interactions would be made possible through virtual reality with ever-increasing fidelity.¹⁰ That we would enter those worlds by donning a virtual reality headset rather than by plugging a cable into our nape like Neo or Trinity would become an increasingly meaningless distinction. The Matrix As technology continues to penetrate ever deeper into our lives, we must reflect on our digital habits and consider the implications of our increasing dependence on our devices. Screen time should enhance our lives, not hinder them. Like Neo confronted by Morpheus in ’s most iconic scene — a colorful pill in each hand — the choice is ultimately ours.

从科幻到现实：矩阵作为我们以屏幕为中心的世界的镜子

After Mark Zuckerberg introduced his concept of digital reality, people somehow started comparing it to the iconic world of The Matrix. I, too, decided to look at the metaverse through the lens of cinema. I want to understand why the possibilities of the trilogy remain only in the movies. I also want to understand why the real meta world is not as good as it is said to be. Is the Matrix a meta-universe? Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is what Morpheus tells Thomas Anderson before giving him the red pill that opened Neo's eyes to the world on the other side. This point is fundamental both in the film and for us, as the theme of the meta-universe interested not only the developers. It touched such areas as business, trade, art, and many others. The modern world is creating its own, a new "Matrix." The famous trilogy debuted back in 1999, but the concepts laid down in the fateful sci-fi picture, have been preserved. At first glance, the plot is simple - a group of rebel hackers finds a "gray" man to reveal to him the truth: the world he is used to is just a facade made up of computer code. If the real developers present their meta worlds as worlds where people are free to do what they have always dreamed of doing and be what they have wanted to be all their lives, then the world of The Matrix is presented to the viewer as a way to control people. Artificial intelligence decides how people will live, what they will do, and how they will feel in doing so. There was an acutely social metaphor - people should strive to be free from the influence of governments and corporations. In 2021, what we called the Matrix and thought was only possible in the movies is now a real thing. Technology, as is often the case, has caught up with the conception of science fiction. Let's come to the obvious conclusion: . The question then arises: what does the meta-universe represent in its early stages of development? the Matrix is a meta-universe What does the Matrix warn us about? The real meta world is in its infancy. Even if we combine realistic VR simulations with new AR layers developed and scattered around the world, linking them with the Internet or cellular communications, it still will be in its infancy. With the advent of hybrid devices and apps in which we can see augmented or mixed reality, it becomes clear that VR and AR are foundational components of a true meta world. This is where the Wachowski sisters' idea reveals itself in all its colors. Drawing on the ideas of Jean Baudrillard, the trilogy's directorial team managed to create a prophetic narrative warning. One day there will be those with the knowledge and technology to create new systems of control that will use semiotics and avatars to influence society's feelings and behavior patterns. Thus, there is a dual situation: those who are deeply involved in working with blockchain technology, creating AR and VR, as well as those who are interested in the direction of digital content and virtual worlds themselves, are in favor of the development of the metaverse. At the same time, the field of cybersecurity, as well as psychologists and sociologists, have sounded the alarm. One of the hot topics in the meta-universe will be directly related to feelings and the notion of sexuality. Such questions never arise out of the blue, each of us has at least once feared that his or her data could be copied and stolen. In the matter of the metaconscious, many fear that not only data related to payment methods, but also information about the user's residence and the specific location in real-time could leak into the network. Cybersecurity experts believe that the meta-villages we see now have little protection: they have no formed legislation, and the education of morals depends on the goal pursued by the virtual platform. Because of this, there is a great risk of fraud and hacker attacks, due to which the privacy of individual users can be undermined. Conclusion: Thoughts About Entering the Virtual World Against the background of the virtual "takeover" of the Earth, which many do not realize until now, it makes sense to look seriously at the question of "white spots" in the metaverse. Is the virtual world so much safer than the real one? Are users free when immersed in a fantastic simulation of digital life?

Understanding AI-Powered Simulated Worlds with Christopher Entwistle

22 Predictions for the Tech Landscape in 2022

The reasoning for why the cloud computing market is making its way to reach a monumental value of by 2023 is simple – it’s the innovation that comes with it. $623B From unlimited data storage, disaster recovery, to nationwide networking abilities that cloud computing services bring, small start-ups or enterprise-scale firms can now rethink about the traditional means IT resources management. Introduction to Cloud Orchestration In testing terminology, orchestration is the combines of functionally relevant and sequentially-run tasks. To take place, orchestration sometimes integrates both manual and automated testing. In short, orchestrators form “building blocks” to look at the entire testing operation. What is Cloud Orchestration? Extending the definition of orchestration above, cloud orchestration mainly focuses on managing the interconnection between various cloud environments to ensure a stable workflow. When the number of cloud applications increases significantly, a new solution is needed to keep everything on track and in sync. If we are to say the cloud service is an orchestra performance, cloud orchestration is the conductor that keeps all of the musicians in sync. Workloads can come from the public (all available) or private (own internal) cloud infrastructures. Additionally, three models for cloud services are software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) the most common form, where the vendor creates and maintains software programs on the web, and users have access after paying a subscription fee. It is known as the delivery model of software application services. Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office 365, Google Drive, etc. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Examples: provides the organizational platform, hardware, or software tools over the internet for QA teams to create applications. It also eliminates concerns about resource requisitions or heavy maintenance duties related to infrastructure. Windows Azure, Google App Engine, OpenShift, etc. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Examples: IaaS has greater scalability than SaaS and PaaS. What users get from IaaS is the cloud-based infrastructure. On that, they are provided networking features, virtual space, and data storage through a server or via virtualization technology. It is the user’s responsibility to update security modes if new versions are released. Google Compute Engine, Rackspace, etc. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): Examples: Cloud Orchestration vs. Cloud Automation While both phrases aim to minimize possible mistakes, automation is just a small cog in the large orchestration picture. In detail, cloud automation is tools and processes without human intervention; whereas cloud orchestration coordinates many automated activities across various clouds and optimizes the consolidated workflow. In other words, cloud automation controls independent works, such as scaling, provisioning infrastructure, monitoring performance, etc. Then, cloud orchestration helps to keep these automated tasks in order and checks if any policy is unmet. Potential Tools for Cloud Orchestration is a comprehensive orchestration platform to connect test automation and DevOps teams’ test management, planning, execution, and quality analytics. Katalon TestOps is one of the most common cloud implements. It orchestrates with other cloud service platforms (Linux, Windows) to manage updates and reduce errors. With Azure, unexpected changes in configuration files, frameworks, or reports can be tracked by any IT device. Microsoft Azure Automation is a multi-cloud orchestrator to support self-service activities. It offers automated server deployments and more built-in integrations than any other cloud orchestration. Morpheus Why Cloud Orchestration? There are many reasons why orchestration in clouds is essential for a sustainable ecosystem. In particular, the benefits include: Cloud orchestration shortens the time of repetitive cycles through automation, therefore customizing the end-to-end process. It also ensures that both physical and virtual cloud resources are effectively coordinated. Increased Efficiency: Orchestrator platforms enforce constant deployment, firewall, or server configurations via automation. Thus, it helps developers to concentrate more on other business values such as product design and development. Support DevOps: Management in the cloud lowers the cost of infrastructure investment and reduces the number of IT staff needed. For the long-term, a company can improve its cloud service footprint and be more flexible in prioritizing business expenses. Reduced Costs: The ability to automatically notice the occurrence of VM (virtual machines) sprawl is necessary for enforcing security. Cloud orchestration also analyzes current and past patterns to predict future resource usages. Besides that, it validates the users’ identity and proper permission to avoid unauthorized enters. Enhanced Visibility & Security: Conclusion To summarize, cloud orchestration can help reduce costs, optimize workflow, and provide better connections between multiple cloud environments. Because of the obvious and practical benefits of cloud orchestration, individuals and organizations are trusting it more and more as an integral part of their operation.

An Introductory Guide to Cloud Orchestration

The prospects of decentralized finance have undoubtedly presented a new and productive alternative for traditional financial systems. Since 2020, the debate over DeFi vs CeFi or centralized finance is gaining momentum in radical proportions in recent times. Decentralized finance has emerged as a prominent contributor to resolving numerous pitfalls in traditional financial services. However, it is reasonable to find out the difference between DeFi and CeFi to ascertain the validity of pursuing DeFi as an alternative to financial systems that have been functional for an inexplicably long period. Is it reasonable to shift from the financial systems trusted by all individuals using financial services worldwide? The following discussion dives into a head-to-head comparison to provide a better impression of the CeFi DeFi debate. Starting with the Definitions – DeFi and CeFi Before the reflection on the differences between CeFi and DeFi, let us focus on what is CeFi. It is an abbreviation for centralized finance referring to the closed financial markets. On the other hand, when we reflect on what is DeFi, it is evident that it is the opposite of CeFi. Decentralized finance points out the different tools, frameworks, and technologies that enable open, secure access to financial services with assurance of flexibility and control. The Dominant Traits of CeFi The definitions of DeFi and CeFi point out the differentiating factor of a centralized entity, which dictates the level of trust with each approach. If the trust is vested in the business itself, you can identify it as a trait of CeFi. As a centralized approach, CeFi implies that a business has to ensure management, execution, and sustenance of trust with ethical measures at any cost. In the event of a breach of trust, end-users are less likely to exhibit trust in a CeFi business. CeFi also presents credible advantages of flexibility by adapting services such as fiat conversions, direct service, and cross-chain exchanges according to customer needs. To improve our understanding of DeFi vs CeFi, let us discover how CeFi is different from DeFi before proceeding towards the distinctive factors about DeFi that separate it from CeFi. Here is a table that can help you point out the DeFi vs CeFi differences easily in the simplest way possible: CEX and CeFi The centralized exchanges accompany vulnerabilities of user funds to internal and external threats. Centralized services manage user funds and data in centralized systems, thereby implying the lack of absolute safety for user funds and information. The DeFi vs CeFi debate turns in favor of the former due to security concerns. However, centralized exchanges offer cryptocurrency trading and trading functionalities like margin trading, lending, borrowing, and OTC, among others. Therefore, CeFi brings flexibility for customers while addressing issues that could take specialized efforts and guidance for resolution. Flexibility to Convert Fiat Currency Another highlight in the DeFi vs CeFi debate in favor of CeFi is the flexibility of working with fiat. The flexibility accompanied by a centralized entity responsible for managing fiat allows formidable control to customers for ensuring fiat conversions. Cross-Chain Functionalities CeFi is also known for the facility of cross-chain services with the support for cryptocurrency trading. Users can ensure LTC to XRP or BTC to LTC conversions without depending on blockchain technology underlying different cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, DeFi is not capable of providing cross-chain services. For example, the atomic cross-chain swaps could be highly time-consuming with higher latency, thereby preventing the efficiency of DeFi services. So, CeFi emerges as a winner in the DeFi vs CeFi debate regarding cross-chain services. CeFi leverages multiple chains for taking custody of funds before permitting the conversion or trading of coins. End-users could easily get the benefits of converting currency through orders for sales or purchase. The transfer of ownership also improves the simplicity and intuitiveness of CeFi applications in cross-chain services. How is DeFi Better than CeFi – DeFi vs CeFi After a comparative evaluation of CeFi vs DeFi, let us turn the tables and look from the other perspective. DeFi does not impose any requirements for establishing user identity for accessing financial services. Rather than depending on the personal information of users, DeFi services provide a unique identification number to users for leveraging banking services. As a result, users have the assurance of the safety of their funds and data with all aspects of security vested in the user’s responsibility. Let us take a look at the other factors in the DeFi vs CeFi comparison from the perspective of DeFi. Decentralized Transactions DeFi is capable of providing decentralized exchange platforms that do not have any centralized systems. DEX platforms leverage smart contracts in unison with decentralized protocol solutions and Ethereum. The design of smart contracts also ensures better automation of fulfilling necessary orders. Users of DEX-based systems don’t have to go through the sign-up process for using the concerned service. The connection of the user wallet to DEX service is enough to enable trade on DEX platforms. Apart from the setback of lack of support for cross-service solutions, DEX services enable trading in cryptocurrencies without funds to withdraw from user wallets. The transfer of funds happens only after the execution of the trade to provide a comprehensive guarantee of the safety of funds. No Need of Permissions DeFi vs CeFi debate also points out the permissionless nature of the former. As a result, users don’t need a KYC process like in CeFi services to use DeFi services. Users can connect their wallets to DeFi service, followed by taking necessary actions like fund transfers, trading, and many others. Additionally, there is no restriction on access to DeFi services due to its permissionless nature. Furthermore, enterprises can leverage DeFi services for the welfare of the general public. At the same time, enterprises can also use DeFi services to expand their business to unreachable geographic locations. Avenues for Innovation Another promising highlight in favor of DeFi in the DeFi vs CeFi debate is the support for innovation. Many players in the DeFi ecosystem are striving for innovation at a rapid pace. The experiments on leveraging decentralization for reforming the existing finance market, along with the arrival of new financial services paint DeFi, in a positive light. On the other hand, CeFi does not foster innovation due to the centralized approach, albeit without absolving it completely. DeFi also presents a better potential for uncovering new assets with the facility of incentives to users involved in the stages of asset development and growth. Trustless System The final bit of comparison between DeFi and CeFi points out directly to the trustless factor. The trust factor in DeFi depends on the complete process rather than on a specific system. As a result, users can assure their funds from theft or wrong transfers with DeFi. The auditing of DeFi services by developers informed users, and interested entities ensure better support for transparency and monitoring of transactions. Therefore, DeFi services present a global approach in comparison to closed CeFi services. Conclusion On a concluding note, you can notice the various pointers in a DeFi vs CeFi debate. The facility of liquidity is a formidable similarity amidst all the differences between the two financial systems. Both CeFi and DeFi allocate equal price value for specific assets. However, DeFi presents a formidable advantage over CeFi in many aspects, albeit failing in the facility of cross-chain services. Except for such setbacks, DeFi is a clear and promising alternative to centralized finance with the facility of better control over financial investments. Most important of all, DeFi has the potential of making financial services accessible to the general public.
