India is going to waste its demographic dividend, I am afraid:

No improvement in government schools

No massive upskilling happening

No new world-class colleges

No rapid job creation

8 days ago, while jogging, I asked Claude to solve the Riemann Hypothesis

It didn’t. 1.5 days later, it proved >= 67% of the zeros are on the line (prev: 41.6%)

Still not sure what that means, but some analytic number theorists seem excited

I laughed when I watched this one. Amazing that someone made this, and it flies

Announcing Discovery Loop!

I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world’s most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we’re excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

Made this protest poster on the train, but the protest was already over before I could make it. I really wanted to join. 😔✊

[Electra @Electrarythm]

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online.

He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history.

He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing.

His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living.

He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action.

He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation.

Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not.

Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation.

He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk.

He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation.

The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable.

Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom.

But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back.

Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

IMO a researcher studies a problem that may not be solvable, while an engineer solves a problem that is considered solvable.

[Reso @Resorcinolworks]

the spirit of “doing something big” peaks during 14-18

You might say 19-21 and 22-25 too, but it unmatched in former.

[Rahul Chhabra @rahulchhabra07]

you can now control things with your brain. literally.

we're building the most wearable BCI on the planet, with @sabi, backed by @khoslaventures @accel @initialized & @kevinweil.

we collected the world’s largest neural dataset and trained the most capable Brain Foundation Model.

then we invented a new class of biosensors powered by custom ASICs.

type without typing. click without clicking. a cap that lets your brain do the work.

we’re sabi.

Don't start a startup in high school. What if it works? You'll lose the opportunity you'd otherwise have to explore random, interesting ideas, driven only by curiosity. Because while you will indeed learn a lot from a startup, you won't have any choice about what you learn.

@leeerob nix is one of the best ideas ever and the only reason it's not ubiquitous is the decision to create one of the worst configuration languages ever
