Our lab exams are fast approaching and it was essential to practice the labs again. So today, being the last day to use the electronics labs, we Electronics and communication students skipped the CHPC classes and attended AC additional lab with permission from mahesh sir.
Returning by 12.30, Sir came up with a happy news which I'm not going to reveal now but a few days later. The news was really amazing and now I am really longing for that day to happen!!!!!!!! Sir talked about free software. the concept is truly great. Free software, software libre or libre software is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with restrictions that only ensure that further recipients have the same rights under which it was obtained and that manufacturers of consumer products incorporating free software provide the software as source code. The word free in the term free software refers to freedom (liberty), and is not at all related to monetary cost. The Free Software Foundation advises people to "avoid using terms like 'give away' or 'for free,' because those terms imply that the issue is about price, not freedom."[3] Free software is generally available without charge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
Sir told about the history of free software. The idea was brought about by Richard mathew stallman
. Heis the founder of the free software foundation. The revolution of free software started when he was serving as a hacker at MIT. Now read on the rest at the link given.

We were sharing the L3 lab with final year students who are trained in machine learning. Sir asked us about our thpughts on machine learning and then illustrated what exactly is machine learning through an example. Afterwards he asked us to do an assignmnet in octave with the concept of linear regression. The program was to generate the value of y corresponding to the value of a given x using the relation y=mx+c. It is required to find the value of m and c from the provided set of data. Myself and my group mate were able to implement it successfully.
