Two and Half Months In November 13th, 2023

I am now two and a half months into the semester, past the halfway mark! I will admit, it has not been easy. I have had somewhat of a difficult time balancing my internship with my schoolwork. I feel as though I am always playing catch-up, but I am hoping to better manage my time and finally get a little leeway between what is due and what will be due soon.

My Secure Password Manager Project… it is going well. As a group, we have a solid plan for how we will be implementing it and as for my own specific part, I am almost good to go. In the coming weeks I plan on familiarizing myself with SupaBase, the main technology I plan on using to implement authentication. While I have never implemented authentication itself, there are tons of useful resources online as it is a pretty popular topic. I will need to spend a decent amount of time familiarizing myself with it before beginning implementation.

I wanted to dedicate the end of my blog to a technology that I find interesting that was released a couple of days ago… the AI Pin. With AI being a major talk-point the last couple of years, it was only a matter of time before it was used to make something extremely unique that brings ‘futuristic’ technology to the present. The AI Pin is a little pin that you attach to your shirt and you can ask it anything and I mean anything. From what to eat for dinner based on the ingredients you have to which way to walk when navigating through a city. The possibilities are endless! It even has a screen that gets displayed on your hand using lasers! This technology has so many applications that it is impossible to name all of them. It uses advanced AI to help make our lives easier. My concern with it is how practical it will be to use. Will this become the next telephone in the near future? Could this replace our phones? Could phone companies begin to implement this kind of technology in the near future? This new technology is one of those unique ideas but the main difference from other unique technologies is that it seems practical. Depending on its performance, it has the opportunity to change the world of technology as we know it.

Here is a little picture of the laser display:

I highly suggest reading more about it on the official site:

Hope you are all doing well!
