I pass my 90-minute commute listening to various podcasts and audio recordings. My favorites include the Berkeley Groks Science Show and Tamil comedies or dramas, which provide engaging content for my daily travel from work.
A single source document can now be transformed into many useful derivative formats like podcasts, sketchnotes, songs, and videos, making generative AI a practical format-conversion layer for knowledge work.
I built a Tamil spelling corrector based on Peter Norvig’s algorithm to fix transliterated song lyrics. I used Project Madurai as a dictionary source and explored probabilistic methods to map phonetic English spellings to correct Tamil words.
Version-control activity can be automatically transformed into narrative audio, turning raw commit trails into ambient technical documentation that changes how people write and review code.
Writing detailed, implementation-ready prompts is becoming a high-leverage skill because strong models can now turn a good one-shot spec into a working app in minutes.
I’ve compiled a list of high-quality educational video resources, including Berkeley course webcasts, Google TechTalks, and LongNow seminars. These links provide access to university lectures, science documentaries, and deep discussions on technology and long-term thinking.
