OSSU এর উত্থান

 বন্ধুরা, আজকে OSSU নিয়ে কিছু কথা বলবো।


এখনকার দিনে প্রচলিত ধারার লেখাপড়ার বাইরে গিয়ে নিজ তাগিদে বিভিন্ন skills শেখার সবচেয়ে সুন্দর platform বলা যায় OSSU। এখানে আছে,


- সাজানো curriculum

- বিশ্বখ্যাত প্রতিষ্ঠানের materials

- Free of cost এবং Open Source 

- আন্তর্জাতিক মানের community

- Practical skill-based portfolio বানানোর সুযোগ


https://github.com/ossu/computer-science/ 


এখানে গেলেই প্রথমে নজরে পড়বে অনেক ধরনের course details, যেগুলো আমাদের পরিচিত ভার্সিটির course outline এর সাথে মিলে যায়। এই course গুলো করার জন্য আছে Harvard, MIT, Stanford এর মতো বিশ্বখ্যাত প্রতিষ্ঠানের materials এবং lecture।


এই গেল পরিচয়। এখন বলি এটার ব্যাপারে বলার কারণ কি,


ভার্সিটির পড়া যথেষ্ট না। এটা পাকা কথা।


দিনশেষে একটা চাকরির খোঁজে চারবছরের কষ্ট শেষে যদি দেখানোর মতো কোনো skills না থাকে, সেটা আসলে দুঃখজনক। OSSU এর ব্যাপারটা self-paced আর অনেকটা complementary course এর মতো। মানে আপনার যখন ইচ্ছা করবেন, আর সাথে থাকলে উপকার পাবেন। ভার্সিটি থেকে theory শিখার এবং lab করার পর এখানকার project-based task দিয়ে গেলে আশা করা যায় ভার্সিটির result আর ভবিষ্যতের চাকরি দুটোর‌ই একটা বন্দোবস্ত করা যাবে। পাশাপাশি বিশ্বমানের পড়ালেখার একটা ছোটখাটো feel পাবেন, আর community তে থেকে career এর ব্যাপারে holistic একটা reality check খাবেন। 


সবশেষ, OSSU এই free course টায় enrolled হয়ে ভার্সিটির original course কে নতুনভাবে দেখার একটা সুযোগ করে নিন।

What is Logic?

  I want to talk about the topic of logic in discrete mathematics and programming in general. Take these words as vaguely and loosely as possible. What is logic? I think that whenever the answers to these questions are present... "What is happening?" "Why is it happening?" and "How is it happening?" then we can say that logic is established. Logic is the core of computer programming. The bit logic that tells a computer what to choose (1) and what to ignore (0) marks the beginning of any journey in advanced computer subjects. "Logic in discrete mathematics is the study of valid reasoning and inference, focusing on the principles that govern the truth of statements. It includes concepts such as propositional logic, predicates, and the rules of inference, which are essential for mathematical proofs and computer science applications." (GeeksforGeeks, Wikipedia) to me, logic is like postulates when forming an idea. "Logical Axioms" seem more...

Kiwix vs Aard2: in the pursuit of offline knowledge

I love projects that support the idea of archiving for offline accessibility. A year back, I think at the end of 2023, I Googled "How to make Wikipedia offline" and eventually came across the Aard2 Project that specializes in it. It's crazy to think about how the entierity of Wikipedia could be stored in just around 22GB file. Later in July 2024, it became more evident why we need more archiver projects like these. I tried to promote this project and learned that there were other projects beside it. One of them was the Kiwix Project. Between the two, I believe that they have their pros and cons, and that's what I will try to document here. #What I know so far: alternatives to offline wikipedia: Wikipedia Article, AlternativeTo Website. Kiwix uses .zim format and Aard2 uses .slob format for their respective archive files. Apparently .zim is larger than .slob because they store full webpages compressed. I could not verify .zim's quality ( no way I am downloading 100...

Agentic AI realization

figure out the best way to use multiple models in an agentic IDE. simple tasks should use cheaper models, and only complex ideas should use latest models. Basic changes like CSS should be done manually without the need to use AI at all. It all falls down to how you use your brain to reach efficiency. on which models to use and when.   using AI is like using frameworks. you are calling some simple looking builtin functions to do monstrously complex stuff behind the scene. the money is not on what you can do but how more efficiently you can do what has already been done. Some frameworks do things better than others. and much of your value is knowing the hidden gems in the tech industry. Better tools sometimes can do more than simply knowing some syntaxes, in the long run. we should focus on the ideas, and much less on how to implement them since humans are meant to do creative stuff and machines, the repetative stuff. so we should use AI as tools to get past the tedious delays in imp...
