OliviaMartinPublished 5 months ago in 01Merging Physical Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence to Achieve Collective Super-Intelligent Miniaturized Robots
The current applications of PI are simple and limited to the mechanics (e.g., multistable structures, metamaterials, origami, kirigami), materials science (e.g., smart, stimuli-responsive and functional materials), robotics (e.g., soft robots, miniaturized robots), fluidics, active matter, biology, self-assembly, and collective systems. Hard and bulky robots are driven by Artificial intelligence (AI) in which a variety of sensors (including vision devices such as 2D/3D cameras, vibration sensors, proximity sensors, accelerometers, and other environmental sensors) are embedded in their assembly that feeds them with sensing data they can analyze and act upon in real-time. These developments are only focused on simple PI capabilities so far (e.g., responding to an external stimulus or interaction with the local environment), while there is an urgent need for more advanced PI capabilities for enabling intelligent machines (especially miniaturized robots) operating autonomously in real-world conditions. For example, most miniatured robots are driven by PI of their material systems and are incapable of interacting with humans and the environment through intellectual abilities that are typically inherent in biological organisms. For example, a few common uses of PI in miniaturized robots include:

Timothy A RowlandPublished 5 months ago in 013 tips on how to study effectively
During training, residents learn many techniques, skills, and techniques that they use to save lives. Being able to remember these skills is a matter of life and death. Keeping this in mind, a 2006 study involved a group of doctors learning to suture tendons and split them into two groups. The learning materials were the same for everyone, but the group made few changes to the learning process. When tested a month later, this group performed better than the other residents. The secret to this group's success will be discussed, as well as two other learning techniques that can be used in and out of the classroom. But to understand why this technique works, we must first understand how the brain learns and stores information. Let's say you're trying to remember what it feels like. When you experience a new concept, the memory is encoded in a group of neurons in the hippocampus region of the brain. As you continue to learn how the heart works in class or study the ventricles of the heart on an exam, you will reactivate those neurons. This firing strengthens the connections between the cells, thus stabilizing the memory.
Rowan SharkawyPublished 5 months ago in 01How to overcome your mistakes
A 2019 study recruited more than 400 participants to learn cryptic coined words. Subject was asked about his three sets of runes. For example, he asked: Which of the two symbols represents an animal? Then, after a pause, he reversed the question and asked about the same pair of runes. Questions like: "Which of these two runes represents an inanimate object?" But this game had a secret. The subject's answer in round one determined the meaning of the rune in round two. In the first round, either all participants' answers were guaranteed to be marked as correct, or they failed all questions. This meant that all participants had the same information during the break and the game was played for real money in round two. However, despite this level playing field, participants who were successful in the first round rose to the top of the ranks, while those who were deemed unsuccessful continued to fail. People often say that failure is a teachable moment, a moment when you inevitably stumble on the path to improvement. However, learning from mistakes is not always easy. Especially if the mistake is demoralizing, overwhelming, or just plain confusing. So what prevents us from turning mistakes into mastery? Perhaps the most obvious hurdle to learning from a mistake is how painful it is. People generally want to see themselves as capable and competent, and experiencing failure threatens this self-image. In a follow-up survey of the Rune study, participants in the failed group reported significantly lower self-confidence after participating. It's tempting to ignore this pain as a temporary setback. However, some studies have shown that our brains often stop processing new information when we feel demoralized or incompetent. This suggests that if the threat to self-esteem is large enough, it can affect learning ability. However, your tolerance for error also depends on your relationship to the task at hand. In a 2011 study, researchers surveyed a group of American students enrolled in introductory and advanced French courses. These students completed a survey asking them what type of teacher they preferred: one who emphasized their strengths and successes, or one who highlighted their mistakes and corrected their weaknesses. In general, responses showed that beginners seek positive reinforcement, whereas advanced learners are more likely to seek critical feedback. Researchers have theorized several explanations for these results. Beginners who are just starting out have not yet decided whether they enjoy learning French or whether they want to continue learning. Therefore, they may crave praise to stay motivated. On the other hand, advanced students may have already made investments and want to improve their skills as efficiently as possible. Because the process of acquiring expertise involves some degree of failure, more advanced students may have a higher tolerance for failure. But whether you're an expert or a beginner, it's usually much easier to learn from success than from failure. For example, imagine getting your grade back on an exam. Once you've done that, you can consider that you've made good decisions about when, what, and how much to study, and you can repeat those decisions for your next test. However, if it fails, there can be various reasons. Maybe you didn't study enough, maybe you studied the wrong information, or maybe you did everything right and the test came up with something you shouldn't have known. In these cases, it's not clear what went wrong, making it difficult to learn how to improve. It's only natural to want to learn from your mistakes, and there's a lot to be gained from being resilient and cultivating a growth mindset. But when you're fixated on your mistakes, it's easy to forget all your successes. And it's more effective to build on what you did right than focus on what you did wrong.

Pradeep katiyarPublished 5 months ago in 01Beginner's Guide to Test-Driven Development
What is Test-Driven Development (TDD) Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that repeats a concise development cycle. First, an automated test case is written that defines the desired improvement or new function. Next, the minimum amount of code is written to pass that test. Finally, that code is refactored to acceptable standards. This process encourages simple and decoupled designs. The benefits of TDD include increased test coverage, faster feedback to developers, and more modular code with reduced defects. Over time, an extensive regression test suite accumulates, allowing for changes with confidence.
