10 Things AI Can Never Do for You

Image
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world, but it cannot replace the irreplaceable: the human experience. While AI can assist, automate, and optimize many aspects of life, it cannot live your life for you. Here are ten things AI can never truly do for you. 1. Living Life First-hand AI doesn’t savour the journey, celebrate hard-earned victories, or feel the emotional weight of a meaningful story. It can win games and solve puzzles, but it cannot experience the thrill of achievement or the sting of failure. These moments are yours alone to live and feel. 2. Connecting with Human Emotions AI can analyse emotions and predict reactions, but it doesn’t feel. It cannot truly understand the depth of human joy, sorrow, or passion. Emotions are deeply personal, and only humans can share and connect through them. 3. Experiencing the Essence of Art AI can create art and analyse its technical aspects, but it cannot grasp the cultural, historical, or emotional layers that make art meani...

Charity Begins with Excelling in Your Own Role

Image
When we think of charity, our minds often go to grand gestures: donating to a cause, volunteering our time, or helping those in immediate need. These acts are undeniably important, but there is another form of charity that is often overlooked- doing our work well. It may seem counterintuitive at first to connect earning a living with acts of kindness, but when we reflect on the broader impact of our work, we realize that it’s deeply tied to benefiting others. The Misconception About Work Many of us view our daily jobs as far removed from the realm of altruism. The routines, the deadlines, and the need to earn money can make work feel mundane or even selfish. But this perspective overlooks a simple truth: when we do our jobs well, we’re providing value to others. Whether you’re a teacher educating future generations, a software developer building tools people rely on, or a barista making someone’s morning coffee, your work contributes to the needs and well-being of others. At its core, ...

Marcus Aurelius: The Philosopher Roman Emperor

Image
Marcus Aurelius is one of history's most celebrated figures, known not only as a Roman emperor but also as a profound philosopher. His thoughts, captured in his personal writings called Meditations, continue to inspire people worldwide, offering timeless wisdom on how to live a meaningful and virtuous life. But why is Marcus Aurelius so famous, and what are the key ideas that make his philosophy so enduring? Who is Marcus Aurelius?

How the US Election System Works

Image
The US Electoral College: A System of Indirect Voting The Electoral College is one of the most debated and often misunderstood elements of the U.S. election process. Unlike most countries, where the head of state is chosen directly by popular vote, the U.S. uses an intermediary system that provides representation to each state and balances the interests of smaller states against those with larger populations. How the Electoral College Works Each state is assigned a certain number of electoral votes based on its representation in Congress-meaning the total of its senators (always two) and representatives (which varies by state population). Washington, D.C. is also allocated three electoral votes, although it has no voting members in Congress. Electors: Every four years, each political party in every state nominates electors who pledge to vote for their party’s candidate should that party win the popular vote in their state. These electors are often loyal party members or activists. The ...

The Unbelievable Rise of TSMC: How a Small Taiwanese Startup Transformed the Tech World

Image
In the tech world, some companies are known for inventing revolutionary products, while others are renowned for enabling them. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) falls in the latter category- but its journey is anything but ordinary. From humble beginnings to becoming the world’s largest semiconductor foundry, TSMC’s story is a testament to visionary leadership, strategic resilience, and the ever-growing importance of semiconductors in the global economy. Let’s dive into the remarkable rise of TSMC and its impact on the modern tech landscape. The Visionary Beginnings: Morris Chang’s Dream TSMC’s story begins in 1987 with Morris Chang, a visionary engineer and leader whose ambition went far beyond making a mark in his field.

But when he was invited by the Taiwanese government to help bolster the country’s tech sect...

Testing Boosteroid Ultra

Image
 My experience with Boosteroid Ultra has been positive overall. The graphics are quite decent, and the connection feels more stable compared to the standard Boosteroid account. Cloud-based gaming services are advancing quickly, and the Boosteroid Ultra subscription offers high-quality streaming, supporting up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS with features like AMD ray tracing and FSR for smoother visuals. However, despite these advancements, the connection experience still has room for improvement and isn’t quite as convenient as turning on a console. For gamers who prefer not to invest in a console or gaming PC but still want to enjoy specific titles, Boosteroid Ultra offers a practical solution. It's a step up in quality and stability, making it a good alternative for those looking to try AAA games without the hardware commitment. Here are some videos recorded using Boosteroid Ultra- comment on YouTube let me know what you think! Shadow of the Tomb Raider PArt 1 On Boosteroid Ultra ...
