I have a perplexing philosophical question. Currently by using our intelligence and common sense we are able to reach reasonable security. Buy authentic, check promoters/owners, check architecture, feedback, surf, read, sites, notes, work, code, etc, this gets us to a reasonably right decision. But technology is exploding. Beyond a point of complexity we won’t be able…… Continue reading Reasonably right decisions – Humanoid framework for AI

Software memories
Many people around us work in tough situations and professions like defense, police, offshore oil rigs, etc. We should have a project where we download their thoughts onto a computer like backup of computer. If they pass away their family will miss them, we cant bring them back but we can definitely give them a…… Continue reading Software memories
Integrate and evolve with digital, not resist and disrupt
We hear lot of thoughts by people worrying about integrating with digital world like cloud, internet and so on with respect to privacy. Humanity is all about evolution and not about resist and disrupt. What we need to do is embrace the digital world and find best practices and standards to move forward. Digital is…… Continue reading Integrate and evolve with digital, not resist and disrupt
One version of truth
With so many systems, sub systems across the world in web, dark web and internal networks we have various versions of truth in each system. Truth in these systems may or may not be exactly the same version or even be fully/partially right in all/few/one system. We have search across systems but we don’t have…… Continue reading One version of truth
Encryption
We all have seen passwords, SSL, HTTPS, public private keys, hashing, salting, digital signature, biometrics, honeypots, vpn key generating token, etc. which are ways of achieving authentication, security and encryption. But what if we use our surroundings and few other parameters as a private key/password. You store profiles for your home, your office, garden you…… Continue reading Encryption
Race to be leaner, lighter, faster – limits will hit us
Whether jet engines, aircrafts, IT outsourcing, manufacturing or services there is a race to be leaner, faster, better, higher quality, etc with lesser resources – humans or machines or steel or fibre. In itself its an oxymoron or irony though not always. It actually stops innovation at times. Let us look how: Innovation and peak…… Continue reading Race to be leaner, lighter, faster – limits will hit us
Continuous interaction and collaboration rather than fixed time and schedule meetings
Working over the years in the Information Technology industry I have learned that face to face interactions lead to success in delivery and innovation which are the important areas in this industry. But this is the result of imperfect interactions from a distance. For this let us analyze what is a successful interaction: Successful interactions for…… Continue reading Continuous interaction and collaboration rather than fixed time and schedule meetings
Unified theory to solve problems around us
An interesting area of research to solve problems around us could be to find the universal parameters, equation and working of matter which will work across universe. If we can find one universal equation for behavior of all particles in universe we could theoretically understand working of all events, matter, space around us across time…… Continue reading Unified theory to solve problems around us
Visualization
Visualization in the digital world is an important area often ignored by techies. Visualization in traditional sense of user interface / user experience / mobility for systems and applications has now long been considered an important area. But another interesting area to look at in visualization would be internet and understanding universe both – yes…… Continue reading Visualization
