Missed weekly notes for few weeks. Got some interesting days. I reduced the time spent on facebook, twitter, instagram and youtube.
Wanted to work on some long year dreams. I am happy on the progress. Still have to do a lot on these. But giving a start itself a good thing.

• Working on word lookup based spellchecker for tamil language.
  Implemented bloom filter, bk tree based search/suggestion solution.
  Need to improve with error free tamil words.
  Collecting good words from available tamil datasets.
  May have to work on applying few grammar rules.
  It is a long dream to bring a open source tamil spellcheker.
  Giving some time and focus to work on the dreams.
  
  see the POC demo here – https://iyal.kaniyam.ca/
  It is just a POC. there are tons of things to improve.
  Stay tuned or contribute, to see the changes.
  
• I want to reduce the content consumption from social media.
  But still want to read the content by beloved writers and bloggers.
  Fortunately, few of them are still writing in their blogs, websites and online magazines.
  Collected the websites of the tamil writers, publishers, literary magazines.
  Hosted a FreshRSS instance here – https://reader.kaniyam.ca/
  You can also read good tamil content here daily, without any advertisements, promotions, algorithms.
  
  Let me know if we can add any more tamil sites that are related to literature and technology.
  The only requirement is that the website should provide RSS feeds.
  Sad to know that many webmasters are removing the RSS feeds from their sites.
  Please enable RSS feed in your blogs and websites, so that the content will reach many readers.
  
• As I am exploring many websites for good tamil content, found that many websites disappeared from the internet. One of the major reason is missing of domain renewals. we give some email id when registering the domains. But, we switch emails very often. When we get email alerts on the email accounts that we never check, we loss the domains. Working on a dashboard to show the list of domains and their expiry dates. Thanks to python, prometheus and grafana.
  Added around 200 domains to the monitoring list, which I know the persons who manage the domains. I am sending them private messages in whatsapp or telegram or email reminding to renew. Will try to automate the notification. Let me know if you like to add your or any domain to monitoring list.
  
• Will release all the code for all of the above this week.
  
• Many of my friends are worrying about the future of IT jobs. The recent AI tools are generating good code. Will they lead to human losing the technical jobs? I expect the same. There will be change always. We have to keep on learning new things and be ready to do any kind of job.
  The days of doing same role for many years are gone. In future, we all should be knowing backend, frontend, database, deployment tools. Interesting days are on the way. Be open to learning new things.

In the AI Era, we all use AI in our daily lives. Prompting is an efficient way of using AI like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others. Today, I would like to share the “Power of Prompting” in this blog. But to know the power of prompting, I would like to share my story. How the Prompting should change my life.

As a small introduction, my name is Anand. I am a Front-End Developer, Tech & Finance Enthusiast and have a desire to work as an developer in Top IT company.

Where do I start???

Ok, I am pursuing my Higher Education in Government Aided School. A School filled with the teaching of discipline & education. Due to loosening of strict in school about language. I have no confidence in speaking in English. Even try to speak in English. We all know about the response of friends. How do they tease us?

Fast forward to 2022, I completed my schooling and joined BSc Computer Science. At that time, to be frank, I have no knowledge about tech, coding, hardware, and all. But I have that spark to learn. As we always know, the internet is filled with knowledge. But language is a big barrier to gaining knowledge.

Here is the intro of today’s AI war beginner or the reason for today’s AI war — ChatGPT. In November 2022, the ChatGPT was launched. Due to got an good roommates in my first year. I have know about the power of the internet. So, in that time, I gained the knowledge using only YouTube. Within one week of its release, I started using ChatGPT.

It helps to understand tech, education, and what I want using simple English or English filled with Grammar mistakes. After the lot of prompting I gained more knowledge about tech. Then move on to the courses in various platforms like Coursera, Udemy and other platform. Then move on to Blogs, Research Papers as little bit and more on.

Fast forward today, I have good foundational knowledge in various tech & finance. But the barrier of english and without knowledge of “How search anything in internet deeply?” are broken and the AI acts as good mentor.

Nowadays even though I have gain knowledge through various things from youtube, blogs, AI, research papers, books. This all begin from that. Because without that beginning, now I am nothing.

I think this blog is interesting in the way of denote the “Prompting & my life”. Stay tuned for my tech & finance blogs.
