Kabir's Tech Dives
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.
Please give it a listen!

🤖 DreamActor-M1: Human Image Animation
DreamActor-M1 is a new framework for animating human images based on a diffusion transformer, utilizing a hybrid guidance system. This approach enables more precise control over the entire body, adapts to different image scales, and maintains consistent movement over time. The system uses a combination of facial representations, 3D head models, and body skeletons to guide motion, and it learns from diverse data featuring various resolutions and body poses. By integrating motion patterns with visual references, DreamActor-M1 generates expressive and realistic human animations, outperforming existing methods in areas like fine-grained motion, identity preservation, and temporal coherence across portrait, upper-body, and full-body scenarios.
