The semiconductor chip tug-of-war between the US and China has chip companies scrambling to keep business going as usual. AI is ruling the tech world right now, as gadget makers and software giants integrate the tech into everything to enhance and empower their products. And this AI push has created an unprecedented demand for semiconductor chips. If you don’t know what semiconductor chips do, know that they’re in almost all your digital consumer products like mobile phones, smartphones, digital cameras, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and LED bulbs. And some of them are mighty powerful. For example, Apple’s M4 chip is a powerful Neural Engine, that can conduct 38 trillion operations per second, making it much better for AI tasks and enhancing features like Live Captions and Visual Look Up on the iPad Pro. Deemed Apple’s most powerful Neural Engine, it’s “a breathtaking 60x faster than the first Neural Engine in A11 Bionic.” When this is the kind of power a chip can generate, it’s no wonder that nations are getting involved in its market share. US Pushes to Expand its Chips The US has been aggressive about expanding its chipmaking. In April, under the Chips Act, the US government announced an award of up to $6.4 billion in grants to South Korea’s Samsung to expand its chip production in central Texas. Under pressure from the US to curb chip exports to China, countries like The Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea have also placed restrictions on their companies. Last June, The Netherlands’ government announced plans to restrict exports of semiconductor technology to protect national security. At the beginning of the year, the Deutch government rescinded an export license to halt the shipment of two older lithography machines to Chinese customers. Last year, Japan imposed export controls on advanced microchip technologies in China. China’s Chip Stature China manufactures semiconductors, but also consumes a lot of them, creating a snug ecosystem of chips. In 2020, the country purchased 53.7% of the world’s supply of chips to the tune of US$240 billion. The country controls the majority of the business of semiconductor companies. In 2022, Qualcomm earned 50% of its revenues from China, NVIDIA 26.3%. Dutch company ASML Holding NV recorded 14% of its sales in the country and Apple 24%. In response to US’ aggressive chip market tactics, China has started upping its chip-making game. In a bid to gain self-reliance in chips, China has been working on a US $143 billion+ support package for its semiconductor industry. As part of its effort to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, in May, Reuters reported two Chinese chipmakers have started producing high bandwidth memory (HBM) semiconductors, which are used in AI chipsets. In fact, Chinese tech conglomerate Huawei’s latest high-end phone now sports more Chinese suppliers. This includes a new flash memory storage chip and an improved chip processor. Some Chinese universities and research institutes even got hold of Nvidia’s high-end AI chips via resellers, according to Reuters. US Companies Rebel Another reason China isn’t bogged down yet is that US tech companies aren’t ready to let China go as a business partner yet. According to reports, many companies, like Qualcomm, ASML, and Apple, are ready to skip the US’ grants for business with China, owing to the smooth business relationship they’ve enjoyed so far with Chinese companies. This is why US chip sanctions aren’t appealing much to tech giants in the US. While these governments scramble to restrict Chinese business, companies are following their own path. In March, amongst all the political hubbub, Intel was able to sell chips worth hundred of millions of dollars to Huawei. China’s commerce minister has been wooing ASML to assure of China’s reliability as a business partner. Huawei, along with Nokia and Ericsson, are among the companies contracted to build 5G networks in China, with Samsung and Qualcomm also looking to gain greater market share in the country. A Shift in Chip Sentiment As the pressure mounts, some companies are beginning to toe the line though. The current chip situation has been setting off alarm bells for US companies like Intel, which depend on chip technology in a major way. They say they’re getting antsy about semiconductor manufacturing becoming concentrated in a single geographical location and have started taking steps for the future. In 2022, Intel signed the purchase agreement to become a landowner in Magdeburg, Germany, a planned site for its European semiconductor manufacturing facility. The tech company also brought on Bechtel as its general contractor for Intel’s new Ohio site already under construction. Semiconductor manufacturing is especially vulnerable given that 80 percent of current capacity is concentrated in one small geographic region. Our strategy is the industry’s strategy: Diversify our footprint today to bolster the chip supply needed for tomorrow

Our strategy is the industry’s strategy: Diversify our footprint today to bolster the chip supply needed for tomorrow,” Keyvan Esfarjani, Executive vice president and chief global operations officer at Intel Corporation, said in a statement. Other companies are chipping in. November, last year, Nvidia offered a new advanced chip in China that meets the export restriction rules. According to Reuters, the chip, called the A800, represents the first reported effort by a US semiconductor company to create advanced processors for China that follow the new rules. In December, Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC announced tripling its planned investment in its Arizona plant to US$40 billion. The news was one of the largest foreign investment news in US history, with President Joe Biden personally going down there to hail the project. Chips to Chiplets Meanwhile, chip technology continues to innovate with rising demand. Chip makers like Nvidia, Intel, and AMD are pushing up their semiconductor abilities. These companies have introduced chiplet technology, a cheaper way to pack small semiconductor groups. Interestingly, China is offering this tech as well. The battle for supremacy in the semiconductor chip market between the US and China not only showcases geopolitical rivalries but also highlights the intricate interplay of technology, business, and international relations shaping the future of this critical industry.

In the grand tapestry of investment, while the allure of high-risk, high-reward ventures like crypto is undeniable, the consistent and sustainable gains promised by women's sports cannot be overlooked. Destiny Washington, an Associate Manager at Wasserman’s The Collective, recently penned an insightful piece on TechCrunch titled “Women’s sports investment deserves the same consideration tech receives.” In this article, Washington delves into a fascinating comparison. She presents a hypothetical situation where the value of women's sports leagues, initially estimated at an impressive $32 billion, plunges into an $8 billion deficit. This dramatic illustration prompts reflection on the outcome of such an investment. In reality, the mentioned figures mirror instances from the crypto market. Despite this stark resemblance, the volatile crypto sector continues to attract investment, while women's sports--with its potential--struggle to garner comparable attention. It's undeniable that there's an evolving future for crypto, and high-risk assets have their rightful place in the investment ecosystem. However, when balancing a portfolio, stability is essential. Women's sports, continually escalating in monetary value, present a consistent growth solution that stands out in stark contrast to the unpredictable crypto sector. Despite the evident opportunity, a reticence persists towards investing in women's sports, a sector that has proven its merit repeatedly. A comprehensive study conducted by The Collective, a division of Wasserman, in collaboration with RBC, titled The New Economy of Sports, provides empirical data and compelling arguments that highlight the tremendous potential of investing in women's sports. Key Findings from the Wasserman Collective & RBC Study: The Stark Reality of the Pay Gap: Despite their unparalleled commitment and talent, professional women athletes typically earn 21 times less than their male peers. Some sports, like tennis, are inching closer to pay equality, but many still reflect a yawning disparity, which doesn’t correspond to the athletes' skill or game quality.


Female Athletes and Their Unique Challenges: Factors like pregnancy, childbirth, and the natural aging process pose additional economic hurdles for women athletes, often leading to a significant erosion of their career earnings. Consequently, women find themselves doubly reliant on sponsorships and endorsements compared to their male counterparts.


A Case for Fan and Brand Engagement: Women athletes, despite their restricted earnings, consistently overdeliver in terms of fan and brand engagement. Yet, a staggering 90% of partnership dollars are channeled towards male athletes. The prevailing sponsorship compensation model, tethered to audience size, seems to sidestep the distinct value proposition women athletes bring to the table.


The Untapped Audience of Women’s Sports: The misconception that women's sports are niche needs dispelling. A robust 86% of general sports enthusiasts have shown keen interest in women's sports. These aficionados aren’t just female; they represent both genders, skew younger, and are typically more affluent and educated than fans predominantly following men’s sports.


More Than a Game – The Social Catalyst: Women's sports have metamorphosed into powerful platforms for advocacy and activism. Their influences are far-reaching, establishing them as global changemakers. As a testament, 75% of their followers feel that sports teams and athletes should vocally support social causes. Women’s sports fans also exhibit an 89% higher propensity to engage in social action when inspired by their favorite athletes.


The Financial Incentive: Contrary to outdated notions, female athletes provide unmatched brand value and business impact, given their deep-rooted relationships with fans. Rather than being fleeting investments, they signify long-term, exponential growth with higher returns projected over extended periods. This corresponds with the broader trend in the realm of women’s sports, as illuminated by the findings from the Nielsen Sports report titled ‘The Ascendance of Women’s Sports.’ The comprehensive study carried out across eight key markets unveiled that 84% of sports enthusiasts showcased their keen interest in women's sports, accompanied by a balanced engagement of 51% male viewership. Additionally, within these markets, 45% of the general populace expressed openness to attending live women’s sporting events, and an equal 46% conveyed their eagerness to watch more if women's sports were easily accessible on free-to-air television. The investigation also underscored the growth potential achievable by capturing the attention of those who presently exhibit no interest in women's sports: 38% of respondents in this category indicated a prospective interest upon exposure. This underscores a significant opportunity. Notably, brands seeking affiliation with women’s sports should pay heed, considering that a substantial three-quarters of those displaying interest in women’s sports can readily recall at least one associated brand. Impressively, 63% of individuals advocate for brands to invest in both women’s and men’s sports, underscoring the potential for commercial expansion in women’s sports holistically. The constant ebb and flow of money into the unpredictable realms of cryptocurrencies seems paradoxical when juxtaposed against the more stable and promising domain of women's sports. Investors stand at a crossroads: to chase fleeting profit or to foster sustainable, long-term growth? Women's sports, as the data suggests, is not just an investment in business but an investment in a more equitable, vibrant future.

Amateur athletes can also benefit from using it.

Top 5 Simulation Devices for Sports Enthusiasts in 2022

One of the features of cybersport disciplines that distinguishes them from standard sports is that there is no strict segregation of genders. Women and men can compete at the same level. Cybersport has long ceased to be just fun for the children. Around the world, this industry is treated very seriously; it builds a reputation and earns a lot of money. Last year, Ukraine also joined the cohort of countries that have officially recognized e-sports. Moreover, the number of women and men among cybersport athletes has almost reached the balance — 41% and 59% respectively. Thus, there are still fewer women than men, and this difference is narrowing soon. Recently Riot Games, the company that represents League of Legends and , announced the holding of VCT Game Changers EMEA games for women and representatives of other genders. The tournament series will start this autumn. VALORANT The prize fund of the first two will amount to 20 thousand euros and the final to 50 thousand. Besiktaş Esports/XSET There are plenty of women’s teams in world cybersports. Besiktaş Esports/XSET is a CS:GO team representing the Turkish football club Besiktaş. In 2019 they won the qualifying tournament. They did not manage to be the first, but they showed that the women’s teams could be real competitors. Claudia “Clawdia” Che Multi-gaming American company Evil Geniuses announced in the middle of this year that two women joined their strictly male teams. The company joined VALORANT by introducing two female players — Claudia Clawdia Che and Capitan Christine Potter Che. It is known that the latter has shown unbeatable results from CS: GO and is also a knowledgeable analyst. Dignitas Female Dignitas Female is one of the highest-scoring female teams in CS: GO. They ranked first in the Intel Challenge Katowice women’s league, taking home 25,000 USD. Prior to that, they had already won victories at GIRLGAMER Esports in 2018 and the Copenhagen Games in 2019. Vaevictis eSports Russia created the Vaevictis eSports team from League of Legends, which included nine girls. In 2019, their debut was marked by discriminatory attacks from competitors. However, the women’s team was later accused of unprofessional behavior. As a matter of fact, Vaevictis eSports lost the competition, ending up in the last position. Julia “Juliano” Kiran As for the players, the real legend among the eSports players is Julia Juliano Kiran. The 27-year-old player began her career in 2010 and is now ranked as one of the best players in Counter-Strike. During this time, she has been invited by the world’s top teams to play — she has changed seven clubs, and her team became the most prestigious Intel Challenge Katowice for three consecutive years. Recently, the girl announced that she was changing disciplines and would now play for VALORANT. Bі axx Xia Chinese streamer Bі axx Xia is known not only for her achievements but also for the fact that she often plays on the roster of male teams in Dota 2. In 2017, the promising player was remembered by Newbee.Boss. Later she moved to the club Baze. There, the Chinese player once again showed unbeatable results and took the prize place during The International tournament. Kim “Geguri” Se-Yon The 22-year-old Korean Kim Geguri Se-Yon has made quite a splash in Overwatch, quickly making her way to the world’s top players. After being requested to play for the UW Artisan, she also qualified for the Nexus Cup. The results were so shocking that she was accused of cheating. However, after a lengthy investigation, the charge was dropped. In February 2021, Kim joined the Shanghai Dragons’ all-female team and became the first woman in the Overwatch League. Sasha “Scarlett” Hostyn Sasha Scarlett Hostyn, 27, from Canada, is known for her entry into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2016. She won the most prizes of any female cyber athlete — a total of 384.2 thousand dollars. In winter 2018, Sasha won the Intel Extreme Masters in Pyeongchang and became the first woman to win the StarCraft 2 World Championship. Antonina Predko And we finish the list of the most outstanding females in esports with the name of Ukraine’s Antonina Predko. The girl is considered one of the best esports hosts on the territory of Eastern Europe in esports, including CS: GO, Dota2, Point Blank, World of Tanks, PUBG Mobile, StarCraft, Valorant, etc.

The Female Faces of the Esports Industry

“Oh, I hate exercising! It is so boring!” Have you ever said something like that? Probably yes, at least most of us have. But how can we make our experience with sports more fun? Just one word: gamification. When analyzing the UI/UX design of various fitness apps, gamification can be observed in at least half of the applications. But why is this tool so popular? And how does it work? Let’s see how gamification makes our experience with fitness apps more entertaining. What is gamification? Gamification is a method of applying game elements in a non-game environment. Sounds a bit confusing? Let’s try to understand this term better step by step. What are game elements? They are also called gamification mechanics. The most common ones are leaderboards, points, badges, timers, levels, storytelling, challenges, and so on. These instruments help us be more motivated to complete a particular task and give us a nice reward afterward. As for the non-game environment, it is pretty self-explanatory: it is any situation that is not a game in its essence. This can be a classroom, a productivity tracker, or, in our case, a fitness app. Why is gamification needed in fitness apps? Many of us might sometimes find it hard to stay motivated and keep up with our workout routine. And that is perfectly understandable: doing sports requires quite some effort. What is more, when looking for a fitness app, we don’t want just a set of exercises anymore — we are looking for an experience, a journey. We want our apps to show us how to get from point A to point B, and it is best if this process is fun and entertaining. That’s when gamification comes in handy. It’s a tool that is not too difficult to implement but can bring incredible engagement rates! Surely enough, gamification is not a must for any fitness app out there, but it is a feature that won’t fail to help an application stand out and attract a bigger audience. (The use of challenges and leaderboard in the Runkeeper and Strava running apps) Which gamification elements to choose for a fitness app? When it comes to choosing gamification elements for a fitness app, it can be a tough choice. There are so many game elements, and you might feel adding any of those would work out. Still, one thing to remember about gamification is not to overdo it. Keep in mind that your application is not a game; it is, first and foremost, a solution for achieving a specific fitness goal. Gamification here is for fun only. With that in mind, how do you choose the best gamification element for a fitness app? It is good to think about how certain gamification elements can be matched with the type and purpose of the app. For example, if your application offers yoga practices, encouraging users with leaderboards might not be the best idea: how is it possible to measure who does the asanas best? The only way to implement leaderboards would be to count the number of practices completed. Additionally, many users turn to yoga for a mindful and somewhat relaxing time; they might not find the competition element a pleasant experience. Instead, you may use storytelling, which can be comforting yet fun. (An example of storytelling in the Zombies, Run app) Summing up Gamification is undoubtedly a way to make difficult tasks more enjoyable. Be it learning a new language or committing to exercising daily, adding a fun twist helps us be more consistent with our efforts. As we have already mentioned, gamification is an excellent additional element for any fitness app, from activity-tracking to nutrition ones. Wondering which design elements besides gamification should be present in such apps? Here is a blog post discussing what to pay attention to in your fitness app UI/UX!

Gamification in the Fitness App Design: Bringing Fun to Exercising

More people than ever before are cutting cable and switching solely to to get the programming they desire. However, there’s one group in particular that has been hesitant to cut the cord: . The biggest reason is they aren’t sure if they’ll be able to watch their favorite games or teams without cable. streaming sports fans The good news is streaming sports has evolved significantly over the years to the point where you now often have multiple options for streaming live sporting events. Choosing the right streaming service is the first step in ensuring you’re able to watch the games you want, and here are some other facts about in general. streaming sports Which Cable Sports Channels Are Available To Stream? The most popular national sports channels on cable include ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, TNT, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and NBC Sports Network. The streaming services AT&T Now, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV include all of these channels with their packages. You can also access each of the channels with Sling TV if you subscribe to the Orange + Blue package. Sling TV also allows for channel package upgrades if you only need a channel like Fox Sports 2 but don’t need all of the other channels that come with the Orange + Blue package. FuboTV has most of the cable sports channels, but the limitation is it doesn’t include any ESPN channels. Depending on the channels you watch regularly, you can choose the streaming service suited for your interests. best What To Know About Your Regional Sports Network Regional Sports Networks often concern sports fans when it comes to streaming sports as well. Many MLB, NBA, and NHL games air on local Regional Sports Networks, which can still be seen when you have the right streaming service. The vast majority of the games you want to watch can be streamed locally via the Regional Sports Network, but this element isn’t quite as simple as choosing a streaming service based on the national channels offered. For example, for streaming sports locally in Los Angeles, AT&T TV NOW is the only option you have to watch channels like Fox Sports West, Spectrum Sportsnet LA, and Fox Sports Prime Ticket. And if you’re in the Houston area, the popular AT&T SportsNet Southwest channel is only offered through AT&T TV NOW and fuboTV. Before signing up with a streaming service, it’s important to look at the Regional Sports Network channels to ensure you can see the majority of the games you watch. Don’t Forget About Local Sports Channels Sports fans have to have local networks since many of the best MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL games are broadcast on FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS. Plus, most of the major PGA Tour events are found on local channels as well. You can get local channels when streaming sports, but not every streaming service carries every local channel in each market. For each streaming service you’re interested in for streaming sports, you can see which local channels they carry based on where you are located. The great thing about using streaming services instead of cable is you won’t be locked into a contract. So if you only need to watch FOX to catch the playoff MLB games throughout October, you can subscribe to a service that offers FOX for that month only and then cancel afterward. Channel Upgrades For Streaming Sports The hardcore sports fanatics may benefit significantly from streaming sports rather than watching on cable. Specialty channels like NFL Network, NFL RedZone, MLB Network, NBA TV, and NHL Network are popular for sports fans who enjoy watching games other than just their favorite team. When it comes to these types of channel upgrades for streaming sports, fuboTV offers each of the above specialty channels to suit every sports fan’s interests. Sling TV offers one of the least expensive options to add these channels, and you can select the package you want based on the specific sports you watch. With the various options you have available for channel upgrades, you won’t have to sacrifice the national highlights or out-of-market games you enjoy when streaming sports. Why Out-Of-Market Streaming May Be Necessary When streaming sports, you have more options to watch your favorite sports teams if you live in the same market. However, if your favorite team is in another market or move away from the local market, you will need to opt for out-of-market streaming to find the games you want to watch. These packages and subscriptions include MLB.TV, NHL.TV, NFL SundayTicket.TV, and NBA League Pass. If you want to get coverage of every team in a particular league, you can do so for a single price. Or, if you only want coverage of your favorite team, you can also do so for a discounted price. The exception is NFL SundayTicket.TV, which only allows you to purchase a package for all sports teams nationally. Streaming sports has become incredibly popular over the last couple of years as are offering relevant channels for sports fanatics. The majority of sports fans can find the games they want to watch of their favorite teams without making any sacrifices. more streaming services The tricky part is finding out which streaming service is best for you based on the regional networks offered, which games you like to watch throughout the year, and many other factors. You can subscribe to multiple streaming services at one time to ensure you’ll never miss any of the action, or you could subscribe to certain services seasonally depending on the sport and which channels the games are commonly on. Just keep your budget in mind since using multiple streaming services can add up quickly. The good news is, though, that any given streaming subscription can be canceled at any time. Sports fans have to be particular when selecting a streaming service to ensure they don’t miss any of the action they enjoy. But with so many different options available, every sports fan can have confidence that they’ll never miss a game.

How to Stream Sports Without Cable in Minutes

Imposter Syndrome Is an Invention: Interview With Angelina Severino, Design Lead at Gamgee Amsterdam

Opticks by Isaac Newton, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . PROP. X. Prob. V. PROP. X. Prob. V. By the discovered Properties of Light to explain the permanent Colours of Natural Bodies. These Colours arise from hence, that some natural Bodies reflect some sorts of Rays, others other sorts more copiously than the rest. Minium reflects the least refrangible or red-making Rays most copiously, and thence appears red. Violets reflect the most refrangible most copiously, and thence have their Colour, and so of other Bodies. Every Body reflects the Rays of its own Colour more copiously than the rest, and from their excess and predominance in the reflected Light has its Colour. Exper. 17. For if in the homogeneal Lights obtained by the solution of the Problem proposed in the fourth Proposition of the first Part of this Book, you place Bodies of several Colours, you will find, as I have done, that every Body looks most splendid and luminous in the Light of its own Colour. Cinnaber in the homogeneal red Light is most resplendent, in the green Light it is manifestly less resplendent, and in the blue Light still less. Indigo in the violet blue Light is most resplendent, and its splendor is gradually diminish'd, as it is removed thence by degrees through the green and yellow Light to the red. By a Leek the green Light, and next that the blue and yellow which compound green, are more strongly reflected than the other Colours red and violet, and so of the rest. But to make these Experiments the more manifest, such Bodies ought to be chosen as have the fullest and most vivid Colours, and two of those Bodies are to be compared together. Thus, for instance, if Cinnaber and ultra-marine blue, or some other full blue be held together in the red homogeneal Light, they will both appear red, but the Cinnaber will appear of a strongly luminous and resplendent red, and the ultra-marine blue of a faint obscure and dark red; and if they be held together in the blue homogeneal Light, they will both appear blue, but the ultra-marine will appear of a strongly luminous and resplendent blue, and the Cinnaber of a faint and dark blue. Which puts it out of dispute that the Cinnaber reflects the red Light much more copiously than the ultra-marine doth, and the ultra-marine reflects the blue Light much more copiously than the Cinnaber doth. The same Experiment may be tried successfully with red Lead and Indigo, or with any other two colour'd Bodies, if due allowance be made for the different strength or weakness of their Colour and Light. And as the reason of the Colours of natural Bodies is evident by these Experiments, so it is farther confirmed and put past dispute by the two first Experiments of the first Part, whereby 'twas proved in such Bodies that the reflected Lights which differ in Colours do differ also in degrees of Refrangibility. For thence it's certain, that some Bodies reflect the more refrangible, others the less refrangible Rays more copiously. And that this is not only a true reason of these Colours, but even the only reason, may appear farther from this Consideration, that the Colour of homogeneal Light cannot be changed by the Reflexion of natural Bodies. For if Bodies by Reflexion cannot in the least change the Colour of any one sort of Rays, they cannot appear colour'd by any other means than by reflecting those which either are of their own Colour, or which by mixture must produce it. But in trying Experiments of this kind care must be had that the Light be sufficiently homogeneal. For if Bodies be illuminated by the ordinary prismatick Colours, they will appear neither of their own Day-light Colours, nor of the Colour of the Light cast on them, but of some middle Colour between both, as I have found by Experience. Thus red Lead (for instance) illuminated with the ordinary prismatick green will not appear either red or green, but orange or yellow, or between yellow and green, accordingly as the green Light by which 'tis illuminated is more or less compounded. For because red Lead appears red when illuminated with white Light, wherein all sorts of Rays are equally mix'd, and in the green Light all sorts of Rays are not equally mix'd, the Excess of the yellow-making, green-making and blue-making Rays in the incident green Light, will cause those Rays to abound so much in the reflected Light, as to draw the Colour from red towards their Colour. And because the red Lead reflects the red-making Rays most copiously in proportion to their number, and next after them the orange-making and yellow-making Rays; these Rays in the reflected Light will be more in proportion to the Light than they were in the incident green Light, and thereby will draw the reflected Light from green towards their Colour. And therefore the red Lead will appear neither red nor green, but of a Colour between both. In transparently colour'd Liquors 'tis observable, that their Colour uses to vary with their thickness. Thus, for instance, a red Liquor in a conical Glass held between the Light and the Eye, looks of a pale and dilute yellow at the bottom where 'tis thin, and a little higher where 'tis thicker grows orange, and where 'tis still thicker becomes red, and where 'tis thickest the red is deepest and darkest. For it is to be conceiv'd that such a Liquor stops the indigo-making and violet-making Rays most easily, the blue-making Rays more difficultly, the green-making Rays still more difficultly, and the red-making most difficultly: And that if the thickness of the Liquor be only so much as suffices to stop a competent number of the violet-making and indigo-making Rays, without diminishing much the number of the rest, the rest must (by Prop. 6. Part 2.) compound a pale yellow. But if the Liquor be so much thicker as to stop also a great number of the blue-making Rays, and some of the green-making, the rest must compound an orange; and where it is so thick as to stop also a great number of the green-making and a considerable number of the yellow-making, the rest must begin to compound a red, and this red must grow deeper and darker as the yellow-making and orange-making Rays are more and more stopp'd by increasing the thickness of the Liquor, so that few Rays besides the red-making can get through. Of this kind is an Experiment lately related to me by Mr. Halley, who, in diving deep into the Sea in a diving Vessel, found in a clear Sun-shine Day, that when he was sunk many Fathoms deep into the Water the upper part of his Hand on which the Sun shone directly through the Water and through a small Glass Window in the Vessel appeared of a red Colour, like that of a Damask Rose, and the Water below and the under part of his Hand illuminated by Light reflected from the Water below look'd green. For thence it may be gather'd, that the Sea-Water reflects back the violet and blue-making Rays most easily, and lets the red-making Rays pass most freely and copiously to great Depths. For thereby the Sun's direct Light at all great Depths, by reason of the predominating red-making Rays, must appear red; and the greater the Depth is, the fuller and intenser must that red be. And at such Depths as the violet-making Rays scarce penetrate unto, the blue-making, green-making, and yellow-making Rays being reflected from below more copiously than the red-making ones, must compound a green. Now, if there be two Liquors of full Colours, suppose a red and blue, and both of them so thick as suffices to make their Colours sufficiently full; though either Liquor be sufficiently transparent apart, yet will you not be able to see through both together. For, if only the red-making Rays pass through one Liquor, and only the blue-making through the other, no Rays can pass through both. This Mr. Hook tried casually with Glass Wedges filled with red and blue Liquors, and was surprized at the unexpected Event, the reason of it being then unknown; which makes me trust the more to his Experiment, though I have not tried it my self. But he that would repeat it, must take care the Liquors be of very good and full Colours. Now, whilst Bodies become coloured by reflecting or transmitting this or that sort of Rays more copiously than the rest, it is to be conceived that they stop and stifle in themselves the Rays which they do not reflect or transmit. For, if Gold be foliated and held between your Eye and the Light, the Light looks of a greenish blue, and therefore massy Gold lets into its Body the blue-making Rays to be reflected to and fro within it till they be stopp'd and stifled, whilst it reflects the yellow-making outwards, and thereby looks yellow. And much after the same manner that Leaf Gold is yellow by reflected, and blue by transmitted Light, and massy Gold is yellow in all Positions of the Eye; there are some Liquors, as the Tincture of Lignum Nephriticum, and some sorts of Glass which transmit one sort of Light most copiously, and reflect another sort, and thereby look of several Colours, according to the Position of the Eye to the Light. But, if these Liquors or Glasses were so thick and massy that no Light could get through them, I question not but they would like all other opake Bodies appear of one and the same Colour in all Positions of the Eye, though this I cannot yet affirm by Experience. For all colour'd Bodies, so far as my Observation reaches, may be seen through if made sufficiently thin, and therefore are in some measure transparent, and differ only in degrees of Transparency from tinged transparent Liquors; these Liquors, as well as those Bodies, by a sufficient Thickness becoming opake. A transparent Body which looks of any Colour by transmitted Light, may also look of the same Colour by reflected Light, the Light of that Colour being reflected by the farther Surface of the Body, or by the Air beyond it. And then the reflected Colour will be diminished, and perhaps cease, by making the Body very thick, and pitching it on the backside to diminish the Reflexion of its farther Surface, so that the Light reflected from the tinging Particles may predominate. In such Cases, the Colour of the reflected Light will be apt to vary from that of the Light transmitted. But whence it is that tinged Bodies and Liquors reflect some sort of Rays, and intromit or transmit other sorts, shall be said in the next Book. In this Proposition I content my self to have put it past dispute, that Bodies have such Properties, and thence appear colour'd.

PROP. X. Prob. V.

Data is the heart of medicine. A well-organized and trusted data source fosters a faster and more accurate healthcare system. A significant transformation in the healthcare sector is brought about by new technologies namely, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The Healthcare industry being an early adopter of technology has been able to avail benefits of AI & ML. This blog will shed some light on the implementation of AI and ML in the industry. Introduction Healthcare organizations have to analyze piles of data, images, reports, clinical trials, etc in order to conclude the exact cause of an illness. Human skills often fail in finding out important insights from a large set of data. Misdiagnoses may lead to unnecessary tests and time consumption. The delay in treatment could put the survival of patients into question. During such cases, these finest technologies, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning come to the rescue. The profound impact of automation these technologies bring to the healthcare system enhances the quality of decision-making for healthcare providers. The accuracy and swiftness with which AI and ML leverage can possibly save millions of lives. How does AI function in healthcare? The Healthcare system has data in abundance. However, the data pool is distributed and has different ownership which puts them at risk of fraud. Due to such vulnerabilities, the data extraction efficiency is often put into question by professionals. AI and ML function based on algorithms. The more these algorithms are exposed to data, the higher accurate results they can provide. These algorithms analyze the data storage system and unearth important insights and patterns from it. Natural Language Processing (NLP) further isolates the data according to its relevance. The extraordinary potential of AI and ML gives impetus to healthcare functioning. Some popular names like IBM and Microsoft have made their shifts to AI healthcare projects already. A McKinsey report forecasts that big data would help healthcare save nearly $100Bn annually. This sounds like a blessing in disguise for problem-solving in patient care. In the next section let us explore some cases where AI and ML can be used for problem-solving. Breast cancer and other forms of Cancer Diagnoses: Cancer cases are multiplying every year. Breast cancer is the primary contributor to the numbers. Deep learning and AI give a breakthrough in cancer analysis by helping medical professionals analyze massive amounts of medical data. The swift analysis enables delivering personalized medical treatments. Machine Learning algorithms back the MRI & medical imaging systems. All these analyses fall just right in place for improving the accuracy of breast cancer detection. Surgeons can make use of ML tools to know the precise location of cancer during robotic procedures. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning used in Radiology & Pathology: What radiologists interpret throughout the day is unimaginable. If we believe the Nature article, it says, a radiologist’s job demands analyzing one image every three to four seconds! There comes into the picture the new assistant, AI, and DL. AI can act as an assisting technology in radiology. This technology has high potential in transforming the way human research studies are conducted. The data sets are fed into the algorithms and the process helps in scanning images and thereby identifying patterns. The outperforming algorithms help radiologists in spotting malignant tumors. The highly informed radiologists can thereby easily spot the damaged spots more quickly. Hence we can say, the potential of ML can thus be utilized in treating rare and difficult-to-diagnose diseases. Drug Discovery Using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: Pharma companies have started using machine learning for drug discovery and development. Surprised how? The powerful technology will assist drug makers to predict the way patients behave to various drugs. Further, based on the data, they can decide what dose works best for the patient with a given illness. The implementation will help pharma companies save nearly 2.5 billion dollars that they spend over the entire research & launch. Having said that, the US Food and Drug Administration has laid out a few policies regarding using AI and ML for this segment. Here are the names of a few companies using Machine Learning in the healthcare department: Microsoft; Tempus; Kareo; KenSci; Pfizer; Subtle Medical; Beta Bionics; Some of the big names in pharma companies have also grabbed the opportunity of using this dynamic technology to resolve difficult health problems. Genentech uses GNS , Cambridge, Massachusetts AI system to run a search for various cancer treatments; Healthcare Pfizer uses the IBM Watson platform to hunt immuno-oncology drugs. Also, Sanofi plans to use Exscientia’s AI platform for finding metabolic-disease therapies; This proves that AI and ML will bring many amendments to the way startups function in drug research. AI can be used in analyzing forecast kidney disease: Kidney diseases can become life-threatening if not treated at the right time. Patients' health in such cases starts deteriorating very fast and this can possibly lead to instant death. An early prediction can save lives. ML tools can really be helpful during such scenarios. The Department of Veterans Affairs and DeepMind Health developed an ML tool that helps in foreseeing Acute Kidney injury nearly 48hours in advance. The AI-ML tool was successful in recognizing more than 90% of acute kidney diseases beforehand. The experiment is still in continuation and the involved parties are planning to take it to the next level by installing ML tools in medical units. AI analyzes unstructured data: The primary role of medical professionals is to provide accurate treatment to patients. In keeping up the pace, they often struggle to keep themselves updated with the latest research and advances in the field. The struggle is largely reduced when these new technologies start playing their roles. ML tools swiftly scan EHRs & biomedical data and provide results promptly. The results are highly reliable and help in interpreting data nicely. The future of AI in healthcare: Challenges are part of evolution. As discussed, and start-up owners would have to work hard in unveiling the potential of AI & ML. But, one good thing is, the curtains have already been raised. Hence, it would just be research work for a few more years before AI & ML become full-fledged assistants in healthcare. healthcare app development companies If you need our help in AI implementation, please feel .

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: A Significant Game Changer in Healthcare

A book by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths Whether you’re a computer science veteran, or just want to dip your toes into the fantastic world of algorithms, this book is for you. Being able to explain complex ideas in simple words is the hallmark of mastery of a subject, and Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths prove every bit of theirs in this book. takes you on a journey of eleven ideas from computer science, that we, knowingly or not, use in our lives every day. I enjoyed this book a lot, so this review is going to be a long one. Algorithms to Live By 1. Optimal Stopping Imagine the following scenario: you have to hire a secretary from a pool of fixed applicants. You have to interview the candidates one by one and make a hire/no-hire decision right after each interview. If you pass on someone, you cannot come back to them. If you hire someone, the process stops and they are your new secretary. How do you maximize your chances to find the best secretary in the group? This is the famous S_ecretary Problem,_ and it forms the basis for the discussion in this chapter. You probably don’t want to hire the first person you interview, since you don’t know what the baseline is. You don’t want to hire the last person either: you almost certainly have passed on your best candidate at this point. So the optimal strategy involves interviewing and rejecting the first few candidates no matter how good they are: just to set up the baseline first and then hiring the best you’ve seen so far after. This point turns out to be or about 37%. Reject 37% of the applicants, and then hire the next one better than anyone you’ve seen so far. Variants of this and the accompanying apply to vast areas of real life too — from dating to parking your car to selling/buying a house: knowing when to stop looking is crucial. Before you get too excited, here’s the sobering bit: this optimal strategy fails 63% of the time. optimal 1/e Secretary Problem 37% Rule 2. Explore/Exploit It’s Saturday and it’s your cheat day. Do you open Yelp and explore a new restaurant, or do you go back to the sandwich place you’ve been craving all week? Do you put on Spotify’s Daily Mix, or do you just go back to listening to your favorite albums? In other words, do you , or do you ? From A/B Testing websites to A/B Testing human drugs via clinical trials, software engineers and pharmaceutical companies alike are trying to figure out where the balance lies. In addition to discussing a number of strategies like “ to win the slot machines on a casino floor (formally known as the ), this chapter will help you think better next time you have to pick between the latest or the greatest. explore exploit Win-Stay, Lose-Shift” multi-armed bandit problem 3. Sorting Sorting algorithms are usually the first ones that any introductory Computer Science course covers. Topics discussed here go from the that serves as a yardstick for measuring the performance of algorithms, to the bouquet of sorting algorithms themselves: the , , and sorts. Moreover, sorting is prophylaxis for search: if you have your collection sorted, searching becomes a whole lot easier. The chapter ends with a discussion on tournaments of various types: , , and so on. After all, tournaments are just another sorting problem, and so are the pecking orders and dominance hierarchies in the animal (and human) kingdom. Keeping things sorted just makes life easier. Big O notation bubble insertion merge quick round-robin ladder single-elimination 4. Caching Or, the memory hierarchy — and what to keep on top of your mind, and what to delegate to pen and paper or a Notes app. Any discussion on caching necessitates a look into various strategies for deciding what stays in a cache — strategies like , , and so on help. One thing I really liked here was how the can be effectively applied to a physical library: instead of putting the returned books back on the shelves, libraries could use them to create a cache section — after all, the books that were most recently borrowed are most likely to get borrowed again! Random Eviction First-In-First-Out Least Recently Used Least Recently Used 5. Scheduling How do you get things done? How do you schedule your day? How do you arrange the tasks so that the most gets done in the least amount of time? Moreover, how do you handle a situation where a low priority task is blocking a higher priority task, and you’re just stuck in a ? This chapter was almost like revisiting a bunch of old friends from undergrad: you don’t think about or in your day-to-day work much. priority inversion Preemption Thrashing 6. Bayes’s Rule I’m assuming you already know Bayes’s Rule, but if you don’t, it’s just a simple way to determine how probable something is given something else has happened, usually denoted as . It’s assumed you have good information about the : how likely those two things are to happen independently, and you know how likely things are things to occur the other way: I’ll just write it out. To get , multiply with and divide by . It’s really that simple. Just make sure your priors are good: a good reminder in this chapter was that exposure to just news and not much else serves to contaminate them, making us worse predictors of events. A B P(A|B) priors B|A P(A|B) P(B|A) P(A) P(B) The , which dictates that a good prediction for how long something will last is to see how long it has already lasted, resurfaced in this chapter: it was also a key topic in that I reviewed last month: it applies to things that are antifragile (like books) and not to those that are not (like human lifespans). Copernican Principle Antifragile On that note, the three basic probability distributions: Additive rule ( ), Multiplicative rule ( ), and Average rule ( ) are explained in this chapter in a very elegant and easy-to-read prose. should really be mandated, and I was impressed to read about these ideas without a single mathematical equation or graph. Erlang prior Power Law prior Normal prior Writing across curriculum 7. Overfitting This chapter is focussed on the case against complexity, and on keeping your models as simple as possible: not only they work better, but one can argue that simplicity should be a goal in itself. Folks in Machine Learning would love the discussion of ideas around (hold some of your data back to test later that your learned model well, that it doesn’t just your training data), (penalize your models for complexity: so that simplicity is a part of the goal), and so on. cross-validation generalizes overfit regularization early stopping 8. Relaxation The perfect is the enemy of the good, so it’s okay to just relax and let it slide once in a while. A large class of problems in Computer Science, known as are intractable. For any realistic dataset, we have no way to compute a perfect solution in any reasonable amount of time. The most famous example of this is the : figure out a route that a salesman should travel to visit all his stops with the least distance covered: the possibilities here are way too many to consider one by one. Relaxing the constraints and solving a similar, but an easier problem seems to be the solution. Any optimization problem has two parts — the rules and the scorekeeping. It may be worth violating the rules sometimes and take a hit on the score as long as it keeps you moving ( this is actually called ). NP-Hard Problems, Travelling Salesman Problem Lagrangian Relaxation 9. Randomness Randomness is another thing that works when nothing else works. Starting with the , this chapter talks about — and you have to love this part of Computer Science since this is where things stop being so exact. Not only that, can save you in , making sure you don’t get trapped in a while your way. I really loved how this chapter ended with a discussion on randomness, evolution, and creativity. After all, you can make a case that all art stems out of some form of randomness. Monte Carlo Method Randomized Algorithms Randomness Optimization local minimum hill climbing 10. Networking and the algorithms of forgiveness: networking is another topic full of gems. Connecting people is one of the most fundamental and impactful areas of Computer Science — we’re talking about the internet here. How to control the flow, how to avoid congestions ( ), how to establish Backchannels (and the role of white noise and little acknowledgments in everyday real-life conversations!), and how to avoid : these are some of the topics that are part of any Computer Networking class, but it was great to see them in a new light. Packet Switching, ACKnowledgements, triple handshakes, exponential backoff Additive Increase, Multiplicative Decrease bufferbloats 11. Game Theory : the paradox where two individuals acting in their own self-interest does not result in the optimal outcome. Succinctly, think of two prisoners being interrogated by a detective: if they rat each other out, they both have to serve time in the prison, but if only one rats the other out, he gets to walk away free while the other one goes behind the bars. If they both stay loyal to each other, both of them walk away free: but this optimal outcome will never be reached if both the prisoners act in their self-interest — which is something you would expect them to do. The Prisoners Dilemma This is the core problem used to introduce anyone to Game Theory: the beautiful field of Nash Equilibria, Dominant Strategies, Tragedy of the Commons and infinite recursions of getting into each other’s minds. The panacea: if you’re trapped in a game that lends itself to paradoxical incentives, change the game: set the rules so that there’s no incentive to act any other way. Have the mafia waiting outside the prison so that the one who rats his comrade is found getting eaten by the fish at the bottom of the local lake the next day. From poker to auctions, especially ad auctions that form the basis of the internet economy today (think Google and Facebook), Game Theory is another field of computer science/math that you cannot miss to explore! Overall, I was left marveling at the authors’ ability to boil ideas from Computer Science down to their very core. This book is the perfect first introduction to this vast and beautiful field, and should be a required reading for any CS101 course. In some sense, it was a mini re-education for me too, and taught me a lot about how to talk about and teach Computer Science.
