Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph.

International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters.

Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash.

Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be represented as a binary code, and that is what telegraph operators do when transmitting messages. A Morse code sequence may be made from a combination of:
* short mark, dot or "dit" (.): 1
* longer mark, dash or "dah" (-): 111
* intra-character gap (between the dots and dashes within a character): 0
* short gap (between letters): 000
* medium gap (between words): 0000000

Share: Money Game

Money game schemes, also known as 'Skim Cepat Kaya', are schemes dressed up as an investment-platform. They look legitimate but in fact they are illegal. Often, they falsely promise much higher interest rates, returns or profits to attract potential victims. They have no intention to uphold their promises. They seek to lure new victims. They use the new depositors' money to repay the earlier depositors. Eventually, these money game schemes will collapse and the depositors will lose their investments and money. Members of these money game schemes will approach the victims at various locations. They normally come with luxury cars to convince the victims. During sharing, they will emphasize someone to be successful after joining the investment scheme. Remember: * Only deposit and invest with parties licensed by the authorities. * When in doubt, check with Bank Negara Malaysia, the Securities Commission or other relevant authorities about a company before making any decision.

Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic. Symptoms of a DDoS attack: - a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable - suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range - suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc - odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS: - monitor web traffic - restriction (for example country) - use cloud - increase bandwidth - have plans (for example security plans)

Share: A.I. Chat

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat, often referred to as A.I. chat or chatbots, represents a revolutionary approach to human-computer interaction. It involves the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to enable computers to engage in natural language conversations with users. A.I. chat systems have become increasingly prevalent in various applications, ranging from customer support and virtual assistants to educational tools and entertainment platforms. Evolution of A.I. Chat: The roots of A.I. chat can be traced back to early attempts at creating conversational agents, such as ELIZA in the 1960s. These early systems relied on rule-based approaches and predefined scripts to simulate conversations. Over the years, advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning have transformed A.I. chat into more sophisticated and context-aware systems. Key Components of A.I. Chat: * Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is a critical component ...
