Kabir's Tech Dives
Kabir
I'm always fascinated by new technology, especially AI. One of my biggest regrets is not taking AI electives during my undergraduate years. Now, with consumer-grade AI everywhere, I’m constantly discovering compelling use cases far beyond typical ChatGPT sessions.
As a tech founder for over 22 years, focused on niche markets, and the author of several books on web programming, Linux security, and performance, I’ve experienced the good, bad, and ugly of technology from Silicon Valley to Asia.
In this podcast, I share what excites me about the future of tech, from everyday automation to product and service development, helping to make life more efficient and productive.

1-bit LLM Explained!
Kabir's Tech Dives
11/02/24 • 10 min
This episode discusses the emergence of "1-bit LLMs," a new class of large language models (LLMs) that use a significantly reduced number of bits to represent their parameters. These 1-bit LLMs, specifically the "BitNet" model, use only three values (-1, 0, and 1) for their weights, dramatically reducing computational cost, memory footprint, and energy consumption compared to traditional 16-bit or 32-bit LLMs.
This reduction in bit representation works through quantization, where the original weight values are mapped to these three values. This simplification leads to significant performance gains in terms of latency and memory usage while maintaining comparable accuracy to traditional LLMs. The video also highlights the potential of this technology to revolutionize the field of AI and make LLMs more accessible and efficient.

GUAC for Startup's Software Supply Chain
Kabir's Tech Dives
11/01/24 • 18 min
This episode is about GUAC, which stands for Graph for Understanding Artifact Composition, is an open-source tool that helps software developers understand their software supply chain. By creating a database of software packages and their dependencies, GUAC can identify potential vulnerabilities and trace the path of those vulnerabilities through the supply chain. This allows developers to quickly understand which of their packages are affected and take action to mitigate those risks. The GUAC ecosystem includes a command-line interface, a visualizer (under development), and a GraphQL API for querying data. The source provides a demo that showcases GUAC's features, including identifying vulnerabilities and marking packages as malicious.

Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, proposes the concept of social business to address societal issues by creating businesses that prioritize social impact over profit. He distinguishes social business from traditional profit-making businesses and philanthropy. Social businesses are non-profit, non-dividend companies that reinvest their earnings back into the business to expand their reach and impact. Yunus argues that social businesses offer a sustainable and impactful way to address social problems compared to traditional philanthropy, which is a one-time act of giving.
He uses Grameen Danone, a yogurt company that provides fortified yogurt to malnourished children in Bangladesh, and Grameen Veolia, a water company that provides clean drinking water to villages in Bangladesh, as examples of successful social businesses. He believes that social enterprise can inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs to focus on creating positive change in the world.

Google Notebook LM Deep Dive: A Family Vacation Video
Kabir's Tech Dives
10/04/24 • 6 min
I wanted to see how Google Notebook LM does with videos. Knowing Google is behind both Notebook LM and YouTube, I figured it would have an easy time with this task. It did. It did an excellent job of analyzing the video.
The video is mostly Bengali, which was nothing for Google Notebook LM. It figured out the deep-down details of the family video and discovered the tonality of the video so well that it is shocking!
Here is the video:

Many of my friends—about 39 of them—were on a week-long group trip to Yellowstone. I shot the video and narrated the ending but used Bengali songs (generated by AI), and the Notebook LM just nailed my deep thoughts, which were embedded in the video.
I can not tell you how good of a job it did! It was awesome!

Kabir's Tech Dives

The book "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries, explores the principles of lean startup methodology, arguing that traditional business planning and execution methods are inadequate for navigating the uncertainty of innovation. The book emphasizes the importance of validated learning, rapid experimentation, and building minimum viable products (MVPs) to gather customer feedback and adapt to changing market conditions.

It highlights the benefits of small batches for faster feedback and iteration, illustrating its ideas with examples from companies like Toyota, Groupon, and Intuit. It concludes by emphasizing the need for a new kind of stock exchange focused on long-term value creation and advocating for a shift in entrepreneurial thinking to embrace uncertainty and continuous experimentation.
