Vikash's Thoughts

It’s always rewarding when someone reaches out to learn from your experiences. Vikram, a UW student, invited me to speak about my journey, and I couldn’t say no.My journey started at IIT Guwahati, where I built a strong foundation in concepts and technology. After two decades in the industry, I gained valuable experience in software engineering, leadership and the nature of Life. My love for…

This Thanksgiving, I find myself reflecting with gratitude on the education I have received. It’s this education that has provided me with a unique lens through which to view and comprehend the world, equipping me with timeless knowledge that enables me to connect the dots. In this spirit of inquiry, I aim to discuss various aspects of the recent developments at OpenAI. Unfolding…

Kurt Gödel, born on April 28, 1906, was an Austrian mathematician, logician, and philosopher. He made significant contributions to the fields of logic, mathematics, and computer science, leaving a lasting impact on our understanding of the foundations of mathematics and the nature of computation. Gödel’s most significant achievements are his incompleteness theorems, which revolutionized the…

I have been meaning to connect these dots for a while and this weekend took up to task to pen down the first draft Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 on Entanglement The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 was awarded jointly to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.”…

Telecommunications, 5G and Shannon Limit

Telecommunication – the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. The engineering aspect of telecommunications focuses on the transmission of signals or messages between a sender and a receiver, irrespective of the semantic meaning of the message. The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) is a conceptual model that characterises and standardises the…

5G will be the most transformative tech of our lifetime. I will try and explain a few terms to demystify the landscape.

Carrier Aggregation: Uses multiple frequency bands together and leverages them together. This means a user can simultaneously be connected (via device) with both 700 Mhz and 1900 MHz frequency of the spectrum and hence can better use all the network resources. Enables…
