Google , watch out – here comes ChatGPT  !

 

 

I asked Google following question :

 

“ Are you aware of any " Text Parsing " software which can parse a very large file of WORD documents and arrange the parsed words in a descending order of frequency ? “

 

Google returned 3320 links, with  following links appearing on first page :

Then I asked the same question to ChatGPT , which gave following answer :

 

Yes, there are several tools that can parse a large file of Word documents and arrange the parsed words in a descending order of frequency. One option is to use a command-line tool called "sort," which is available on most Unix-like operating systems (including Linux and MacOS). To use "sort," you can first convert the Word documents to plain text files (using a tool like "catdoc" or "antiword"), and then use the "sort" command to sort the words in the text files by frequency.

For example, you can use the following command to convert a Word document to a plain text file:

Copy code

catdoc input.doc > output.txt

Then, you can use the following command to sort the words in the text file by frequency:

Copy code

sort output.txt | uniq -c | sort -nr

This will output a list of words and their frequencies, sorted in descending order.

Another option is to use a programming language like Python to parse the Word documents and count the frequencies of the words. There are several libraries available for working with Word documents in Python, such as the "docx" library or the "python-docx" library. You can use these libraries to extract the text from the Word documents, split the text into individual words, and then use a dictionary to count the frequencies of the words. Finally, you can sort the dictionary by value to obtain a list of words and their frequencies in descending order.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Student-made solar-powered car sets a new world record by traveling 620 miles

[ Interesting Engineering / 20 Dec 2022 ]

Extract :

The Sunswift 7, a solar-powered car developed by students at the University of New South Wales in Australia, has set a new world record by traveling 620 miles (1,000 km) on a single charge, according to a press release.

This achievement, which took place on a test track in South Australia, represents the longest distance ever travelled by an electric vehicle (EV) on a single charge and surpassed Lucid Air Dream Edition, which has an impressive range of 520 miles (837 km)

The Sunswift 7, the seventh generation of the Sunswift solar car, is powered entirely by solar energy, with no need for fossil fuels.

It is equipped with over 6 square meters of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity to power the car's electric motor.

The car also has a small battery pack, which stores excess energy for use when the sun is not shining.

The team behind the Sunswift 7 spent four years developing and refining the vehicle to create a practical and efficient EV that could serve as a viable alternative to fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

In addition to setting the record for the longest distance travelled on a single charge, the Sunswift eVe also holds the record for the fastest solar-powered car, reaching a top speed of over 62 mph (100 kph).

The achievement of the Sunswift 7 team is particularly significant given the increasing global focus on reducing reliance on fossil fuels and finding more sustainable alternatives for transportation.

Electric vehicles emitting no tailpipe emissions are a crucial part of the solution to this problem. However, one of the significant challenges facing the widespread adoption of EVs is their limited range, which has traditionally been a barrier to their use for long-distance travel.

The Sunswift 7's record-breaking feat demonstrates the potential for EVs to be a viable option for long-distance travel and could help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles worldwide.

In addition to its practical applications, the Sunswift 7 also serves as a testament to the innovative spirit and determination of the University of New South Wales students, who have worked tirelessly to develop and improve this cutting-edge technology.

The world record, according to team principal Professor of Practice Richard Hopkins,

richard.hopkins1@unsw.edu.au

 "shows what is conceivable and what can be achieved," even though Sunswift 7 is far heavier than road-legal vehicles, which are required to include a number of equipment like airbags and air conditioning systems.

“During this record, the energy consumption was just 3.8 kWh/100km, whereas even the most efficient EVs on the road today only achieve a rating of 15kWh/100km and the average is around 20kWh/100km,” Prof. Hopkins added.

“Sunswift 7 isn’t a production car of the future, since we’ve compromised on comfort and the cost is prohibitive. But we have shown that if you want to make cars more efficient, more sustainable, more environmentally friendly, then it is possible."

 

MY  TAKE :

I hope some large Indian EV manufacturer will explore licensing this technology and, if found viable , launch such Solar Roof powered cars commercially

 

We, in India, have following compelling reasons to adopt this technology :

#   Such cars would have greater acceptance from users

#   We will need very few EV charging stations

#   These cars would require, comparatively, smaller Li-ion batteries and cost less

#   These cars may be able to get charged at owner’s residence , and at night

#   When not running and parked in sunlight, these cars will continue to get charged

Dear Jayant Sinhaji : First plead for People

 

 

Then you may take up cudgels for the publishers

House Panel keen on a transparent deal for online news publishers   / BL / 22 Dec 2022

Extract :

In a boost for news publishers operating in the online news media market, the Standing Committee on Finance headed by Jayant Sinha has called for “regulatory provisions” to ensure that news publishers get a “fair share” of the digital advertising revenues earned by big tech platforms from the content being monetised by them.

This recommendation should be music to the ears of the diverse and numerous online news publishers in the country who get share of digital advertising revenues primarily from few leading Big Tech digital platforms such as Google and Facebook. 

The Committee is of the opinion that regulatory provisions are required to ensure that news publishers are able to establish contracts with Systemically Important Digital Intermediaries (SIDIs) through a “fair and transparent process”, said the Parliamentary Panel report.

The Panel has through this recommendation sought to address the information asymmetry that existed between the news publishers and the Big Tech platforms, sources said.

Till now, the key point of dispute was that the  news publishers  were in the “dark” as to how much the tech giants were earning from digital advertising through monetisation of the news publishers’ content.

News Publishers so far had no negotiating power with Big Tech and also did not know the size of the pie that is being cut for them to conclude that they were indeed getting a fair share of revenues, sources added. 

In fact, the Indian Newspaper Society (INS), the representative organization of newspapers in the country, had in February last year knocked CCI doors filing a complaint of abuse of dominance by Google. 

INS had alleged abuse of dominance by Google as regards News Referral Services and Google Ad Tech Services in the Indian online news media market.

 

Dear Shri Sinhaji,

I have no quarrel with you for saying that ,

Ø  BIG TECH are monetizing the news publishers’ content

Ø  the news publishers are in the dark about the revenue that BIG TECH earn by using the content first published by the publishers

Ø  News publishers are not getting a FAIR SHARE of this revenue

Ø  News publishers have NO NEGOTIATING POWER vis-à-vis BIG TECH

 What pains me no end is that , while taking up the case of a FEW THOUSAND news publishers , you have maintained a TOTAL and OMINUS silence re the case of 900 MILLION ordinary ( and largely poor or middle class ) Indian Citizen, whose PRIVATE / PERSONAL data ( compiled by BIG TECH, without their knowledge or explicit permission ), is the main source of revenue for the BIG TECH

No one knows it better than yourself

Nor are you ignorant of the fact that BIG TECH are MONETIZING such private / personal data of 900 million citizen by selling it to the Advertisers

Our citizen have neither any knowledge about the extent of such MONETIZATION , nor have any NEGOTIATING POWER vis-à-vis Big Tech , to obtain a FAIR SHARE of such monetization

Dear Shri Sinhaji ,

I urge you to put people fist / publishers next

Please do not forget that without the people ( to read their papers ), publishers cannot exist

Let us also not forget that it is the “ size of readership “ which publishers use to get the Companies to advertise ( their main source of revenue )

Hence, in a manner of speaking, publishers themselves , have been monetising READER DATA all along – and using it only marginally to “ subsidize ” the sale price of a news paper to the readers

Over past few years, I have sent many emails to our Cabinet Ministers , urging them to evolve a fool-proof method to get the BIG TECH to compensate its users for selling their personal data

Personal data is “ owned “ by the users and they must be enabled to monetize the same

It is time for you to stand up for the POOR PEOPLE of India

You have been given that rare “ second chance “ to enable each user to get

 a monthly “ compensation “ of Rs 30,000 , from those DATA THIEVES By

Wagons lead the Way

Indian Railways To Equip Over 3 Lakh Wagons With GPS For Real Time Tracking

( IndianInfraHub  / 23 Feb 2022 )

Extract :

After installing radio-frequency identification tags (RFID) in wagons, Indian Railways will now opt for global positioning system (GPS) at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore for the entire fleet of wagons to track it in real time.

A step towards increased use of technology for smooth running of freight operations, the Union Budget 2022-23 has made provision for all 3 lakh wagons to be equipped with GPS technology for mapping and visibility in real time basis for an effective and faster mode of operation in wagon management, said a senior Railways Ministry official.

GPS technology is widely used in the logistic industry and it is a digital tool for asset tracking. Currently, data is maintained manually, which leaves scope for errors. With GPS, it will be much easier for the railways to know the exact position of all the wagons.

Earlier, a drive was launched to equip wagons with RFID systems and accordingly, more than 1 lakh wagons are being tagged with RFID systems. However, the RFID project will not be cancelled and the work would go on as per the sanctioned order.

There would be a total 2.25 lakh wagons to be installed with RFID as per the already sanctioned work. The railways maintained that using GPS would effectively tackle the challenges of managing huge inventory in terms of wagons and tracking accurate location of the entire fleet even while in transit.

The satellite-based GPS will facilitate the railways to track wagons in a better way to address the wagon crisis, if any, on a real time basis, said the official.

The railways has set a procurement target of 102,000 wagons in the next three years while about 35,000 in the 2022-23 fiscal. The railways also plans to procure 10,000 freight bogies with improved dynamic performance and low maintenance for higher performance.

National Clean Air Tax ? – a Pigovian tax ?    

===============================

Dear Mr. Parekh,

Thanks for your note, and your interest in our group’s research. 

As your proposal falls into the broader philosophy of dis-incentivizing private

transport, or more accurately incentivizing the use of public transport, the

ideas outlined in your blog are certainly worth exploring. 

Of course, this might serve as one of “a basket of options” available to us to tackle

this rather complex issue. 

As you correctly surmise, much of it depends on the political climate of each

region, and the willingness of the citizenry to undergo some level of immediate

hardship in service of longer-term goals.

 

A multifaceted and flexible approach is therefore the need of the hour.

12 best ways to get cars out of cities – ranked by new research  

In all, we have screened nearly 800 peer-reviewed reports and case studies from

throughout Europe, published since 2010, seeking those that quantified where and

how cities had successfully reduced car use.

The most effective measures, according to our review, are :

Ø  introducing a congestion charge which reduces urban car levels by anywhere from 12% to 33%,

  and

Ø  creating car-free streets and separated bike lanes,

 which has been found to lower car use in city centres by up to 20%.
