3TB Shorts 10: GenAI - About Chefs, Swiss Army Knives...

3 Techies Banter #3TB ·

2023/12/29

Picture a gleaming kitchen, not of stainless steel and polished marble, but of code and algorithms. Here, the head chef isn't human, but a complex generative AI armed with a digital Swiss army knife that cuts, slices, dices, and blends through lines of code. The pantry? Forget neatly labelled jars and neatly stacked shelves. This is a digital garbage pile – fragments of text, snippets of code and images culled from the internet's deepest corners. What happens next is more euphonic than gastronomic -

3TB Shorts 9: The Travelling Mummy, Fugging and a Jiffy

From ancient mummies navigating modern red tape to towns tweaking their names for reasons you will shortly understand, the world's tapestry of tales never ceases to amuse and astonish. Which is where we come in. In fact, this mummy's travel tale is a reminder of how time, in both literal and bureaucratic senses, can be surprisingly elastic, very unlike the "Jiffy" in our episode. Join us yet again for a regular diet of "battle the traffic with wit". Do write in to tell us what you think at

Hum Shayar to Nahin. Magar......We love to rhyme. So here goes In Silicon Valley, where tech dreams ignite,There's a squad of women, in code and gadgets who are pretty bright.They code like a breeze, debug without a fight,In a world where ones and zeros dance day and night. In this high-tech realm, James Bond might roam,With his sleek gadgets, far from his London home.Sipping his secret martini, shaken with a foam,He marvels at the tech in this innovation dome.

The Bard Meets the Bot

If you are going down the merry path of generative AI, be prepared for this conversation between "THE BARD" and his new AI bot-mate. William Shakespeare: Pray tell, mechanical muse, dost thou reckon thy generative wit surpasses the folly and wisdom of man? AI Chat Bot: Verily, Sir Shakespeare, I process with silicon speed, yet my heart, a binary beat, knows not the depth of human creed. William Shakespeare: Ah, a tool of both light and shadow, wielding words without the soul's fire! AI Chat Bot:

Once I stood proud in homes adorned with grace,Crafted with care, I had my place.Now in a bakery's warm embrace,I fuel the flames, no trace of space.From resting weary bones to a fiery dance,I've changed my role, not left to chance.What am I? If you got this, you could be the Riddler, the supervillain from Batman. Or just the right kind of crazy who loves our Shorts. And you would know that each great riddle has a story.

Pop Quiz - Have you heard of Kudumbashree? Or Cauvery Handicrafts? What about Biswa Bangla? If you are at a loss, you are missing the ONDC bus. Kudumbashree (Kerala Emporium) deals in Pickles, Honey and other Gourmet foods. Cauvery Handicrafts deals in wooden crafts like Channapatna toys, Rosewood paintings and jewellery. Biswa Bangla is famous for its collection of Darjeeling Teas and Sundarban Honey. All of them are reaching new markets, new consumers at cheaper cost and loving it. And this is

If you thought PPP stood only for Public-Private Partnerships, you are not much of a writer. At 3TB, we think PPP should only mean Petrache Poenaru Pen - dedicated to the inventor of the fountain pen. With everyone agitating for a name change, it is time for us fountain pen activists to get a pen named after its creator. That seems to be a just cause. And now we come to the trickiest word in the English language - arse. A quick search yielded 34 ways to use it as an idiom or in a sentence. Then

In this episode, we take you deep into the wondering world of the QWERTY keyboard, where: the longest top-row word is 'rupturewort', a type of plant Peru is the only country that can be typed on one row of a keyboard If you type letters using alternate hands, skepticism is the longest typed word you can type And then we come to a scene out of Yes Minister, where three barrages on the Yamuna River are managed by three different states - Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Ghar Ghar ki Kahani

2023/10/26

Growing up, we always thought that any housing crisis could be solved like Amol Palekar and Zareena Wahab in Gharonda. By singing Do Deewane Shahar Mein around a whole bunch of under-constructions buildings. We were so naive :-). In India, more than half of urban households live in single rooms, with an average of 4.4 persons per room. An estimated 150 million people are homeless globally, though the number is probably higher. In Europe, the number of people sleeping rough or living in temporary

Do you understand the token economy? If yes, then you are in exalted company - the company of Psittacus Erithacus. No, it is not a Roman Emperor. It is the big-brained African Grey Parrot. They are known to exchange currency for food. Parrots also have some other attractive traits, which will be revealed in the episode. The shortest cameo in a movie is possibly Brad Pitt for 8 seconds in Deadpool 2. Compensation - coffee with Ryan Reynolds. This is an Oscar winner doing a cameo. But there are also

The Balloonist, Load-Shedding and Game Theory

We so love our trivia and science. And, as purists, we hate fakes. Which is why we do not get why, while most of the characters in the series Rocket Boys are real people, Dr. Raza Mehdi, who is shown to have played a significant role in Bhabha’s life, is fictional. Why did they do that? Wouldn't Meghnad Saha be the right choice? You tell us. More factoids. Have you ever tried studying during load-shedding in Kolkata? Well, some people were attempting to build and run a cyclotron. How about the fact

People find all kinds of new ways to use tech and devices. In 2010, the United States Air Force used 1,760 PlayStation 3 consoles to build a supercomputer for the Department of Defense. They used PS3s because it was more cost-efficient and “green.” Closer to home, we had washing machines making lassi and buffaloes using Lifebuoy. So we thought - why not find out if ChatGPT knew how to take out a peanut butter sandwich stuck inside a VCR? The caveat - the instructions should be in the tonality of the

Emboldened by your response to our first "Shorts", we are back with our next episode. Our knowledge-seeking journey led us to find the longest (and possibly "wisest") living land being. From then onto parrots on the token economy, hamburgers and Hamburg and practical tips on the right time to garnish your homemade pizza with toppings. We also delve into the mysterious world of data extrapolation and the possibility that the propeller on the aeroplane could just be a fan. Hopefully that should prove

Which "EdTech" has had the most impact on the Indian education ecosystem? While they would loathe being narrowly defined as an ed-tech entity- the answer undoubtedly is EkStep. To appreciate the impact, we must first understand the landscape - 250 million children, 9.4 million teachers, 20+ languages and 60 education boards. In five years, the EkStep team accomplished the following: Created 50 billion+ minutes of learning Reached 180 million+ children and 7 million+ teachers Digitally activated

We are all very comfortable in our "Shorts". So it is no surprise that 3TB now has its own "shorts". This carries the ideal dose of knowledge and wit - for those who like a breezy listen and for those getting prepped to listen to our regular podcasts. As the title suggests, it is a little bit of this and a little bit of that with some arse thrown it. We hope you like this new format we are experimenting with.

“Fashion” your own environment - but not so "Fast"

3 Techies Banter #3TB ·

2023/07/15

The history of clothing mirrors the progress of human civilisation. Unwittingly, we use a slew of textile metaphors in our daily lives. We comment on "threads"; we "seamlessly" integrate x with y; we "weave" through traffic as technology touches every "fabric" of our lives. Fascinating? However, in recent times, fashion has fallen into disrepute. Dyeing and finishing alone are responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions and over 20% of global water pollution. And 2,700 litres of water are needed to

Finally, the 3 Techies are back with Season 3 in the blistering summer heat. Maybe we are just too hot for our own good 😉. Which is also the reason we waited a day and did not release this on the Summer Solstice (June 21) 🙂. 3TB remains a staunch believer in the Rule of 3. So our starting theme for S3 is Roti, Kapda aur Makaan (the constituents of Living Wage). And Paapi Pet seems the fitting first episode. Applying our brush liberally, we have traversed the entire landscape of khaana - from cool

The year is 2050. Sheetal, Nilesh and Samiran are reminiscing about that amazing episode they recorded in April 2023 about life in 2050. The crystal gazing they got right, and the predictions that did not go as expected. They did feel a sense of satisfaction that they had made such bold predictions and had lived to see them come true. No one on Earth was chasing them on the streets with brickbats. But that was also because they were sipping Expresso Martinis on the Moon 😉. Nothing more about the
