Thoughts about the old milestone and old road in Espoo (Life is a road, I want to keep going)

The old milestone

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Many memories are connected to scenes or landscapes. And there are many marks about how the advancing of the city and growing population changes the area and the lines of the roads, but there are still marks from the past times when the cars were smaller and driving speed was lower. Above the text is a picture of the old milestone, what is at the side of the old footpath in the city of Espoo. Of course, that milestone can be carried that place from somewhere else, but maybe that brought some thoughts about chance in my mind. And writing is the nice hobby, and I would like to tell those thoughts to you.

That kind of milestones are not made anymore, or they are on the side of bigger roads, and this picture remains, that in the past the roads were quite different than today. Today this old road does not even have the snow plow in winter time, and it tells something, how the road lines are changed in history. In the past, this road had some kind of meaning because there is a milestone, but then everything changed, and today the line of the main road is in the different place.

But that milestone remembers us, what kind of people lived in here near the capital in a couple of decades ago. The main roads were quite smaller than today, and this footpath is now only the memory from the times, where there were many agricultural fields. But then the price of the ground was raised, and that meant the farmers moved away and sold their farms to the city or building companies.

That meant the end of the agriculture here, near the capital of Finland, but there are many memories about those times, like straight ditches, what are still marking the places of the fields, even this area is now full of trees, and it's now forest area. But in the bottom of the forest is very easy to see the lines of ditches, what is filled with water in autumns and springs. This tells how long those marks of farms are staying in nature.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing. Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel. Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20. Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6. Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins. The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain. This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
