The Frrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee Phone

Initially thought of calling this blog.. " Death of the Phone Company.. Long Live the Phone Company" then changed it to something interesting and simple..

Well Oxymorons are fun, and the way the voice calling is evolving, it is a great time to be in. First we had Google Voice - The grand central of ideas coming to fruition and then we have a slew of products that make use of google Voice. There are so many opportunities that we may see the old gaurds failing if they do not move up the order and provide the necessary services as well as upgrade technologies. Gizmo5 and similar companies may take the mantle of AT&T.. But then the biggest block to the move from PSTN to VoIP is the cost of the phone instruments. Hopefully this is on its way too.. a tumultous times but an area to be watched in the coming days.

How do I use Google Voice, Gizmo5, My Android G1, and SIPDroid and a Clearwire Modem? These devices can make a big difference to how I have come to use my Phone in the last few days. Freedom from SIM... I do not have a SIM and all my calls have been through Wifi. Wherever you go the Clearwire Wimax Network provides the basic connectivity. Gizmo5 is a wonderful SIP Server which does the switching, Voice call a email id is something we would have been happy with and it is getting nearer. How many times have we wondered instead of moving here and forth to just call in and say.. No more emails from you .. I had enough, and funnily without a phone number.

So how much time does it take to be on a VoIP network and make calls to every one as you please .. atleast within the United States.

1. Set up a Gizmo5 account - 3 Minutes - Note down your SIP number that starts with 1-747
2. Set up a Google Voice Account - 3 minutes - If you have an invite and you already have a gmail account you are ready to go.
3. Install SIPDroid on your G1. 2 minutes
4. Connect SIPDroid to the Gizmo5 account - proxy01.sipphone.com - 2 minutes
5. Register the Gizmo5 number in Google Voice - 3 minutes.

Presto ready to go.. Make calls from your G1 by logging into Google Voice and dial from your desktop and provide with google voice to connect you to your Gizmo 5....

F.RRRRR..EEEE Calling A World without a SIM Card

AI/ML Open Source Framework for adoption at an organization

  Data Storage : The first step in any ML pipeline is to store the data that will be used for training and testing. AWS offers various data storage options like Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon EBS. Choose the one that best suits your requirements. Data Preprocessing : Data preprocessing is an important step in any ML pipeline. This step includes cleaning, normalizing, and transforming the data to make it suitable for training ML models. You can use open-source libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-Learn for data preprocessing. Model Training : The next step is to train your ML models. You can use open-source ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Apache MXNet for this step. AWS also offers its own ML framework called Amazon SageMaker, which provides a managed platform for training and deploying ML models. Model Evaluation : Once the models are trained, they need to be evaluated to ensure that they are accurate and reliable. You can use open-source libraries like scikit-lea...

The Shifting Landscape of Knowledge and the Nobel Prize

Our recent conversation sparked some interesting thoughts about the prestigious Nobel Prize and the distribution of its recipients across the globe. Inspired by a user's search history, we delved into the fascinating patterns and potential implications of who gets recognized for groundbreaking achievements. The initial point of discussion centered on the user's search activity, which revealed an interest in various scientific and technological topics, as well as a specific search for "Nobel Prize winners by country." This led us to explore the geographical distribution of Nobel laureates, and a question arose: why does it seem that certain schools and countries, particularly in the West, have a higher representation? We considered several factors that might contribute to this observation: Historical Dominance in Science: Historically, Western nations have often been at the forefront of scientific research due to earlier investments and established infrastructure.
