@chandrarsrikant @ksr_writes How about shifting to Indiranagar ? People there have been doing great recently 😜

I integrated this into Copilot and ran some evals this afternoon. Results were neutral at best and in most cases resulted in MORE token consumption. These results are consistent with our prior evaluation of RTK.

Compression ends up removing information that the agent needs, which triggers a re-read, ultimately resulting in larger costs and latency.

Beware of things that sounds too good to be true.

Now what is this new stupidity?

1. Telegram is the easiest platform to deploy agents and use them.
2. Entire business communities run on telegram, with actual purchase demands on groups.

Now for exams you're blocking a messaging platform nationwide. The same activity can happen on WhatsApp and discord. Will you block that too?

How is this a reasonable restriction to free speech? How is this not disproportionate?

You can't get your own house in order so you start shutting down entire platforms for everyone?

The thing nobody tells you about exponential change is that it feels like nothing is happening right up until the moment everything happens at once.

@karpathy This is BIG !!!

The right kind of ambition is to compete against yourself. To be the best version of yourself.

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition.

GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before.

Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country.

The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything.

The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot.

Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart.

GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution.

Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time.

For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day.

GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission.

Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru.

Take a bow!

This is a landmark moment. India has officially begun its transition into Stage 2 of Dr. Bhabha's 3-Stage Nuclear Program.

Stage 1: Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). This stage is complete and operational. India runs ~22 PHWRs which generate power and accumulate plutonium (Pu-239) fuel needed to feed Stage 2.

Stage 2: Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). They use Stage 1 plutonium as fuel and are loaded with uranium-238 and thorium-232 around the core. FBRs convert U-238 and Th-232 into more fissile fuel - more Pu-239 and U-233 (from Th-232). The reactor BREEDS more fuel than it burns. The Kalpakkam FBR is now sustaining a controlled fission chain reaction.

Stage 3: Advanced Heavy Water Reactors (AHWRs) on Thorium. This is the end-goal. AHWRs will use the U-233 bred in Stage 2 as their main fuel, along with Th-232. India's massive Thorium reserves will give India virtually inexhaustible, indigenous, clean nuclear energy for centuries.

India is transitioning into Stage 2 (long way to go) - and demonstrating indigenous mastery of one of the most complex reactor technologies, without foreign assistance.

Congratulations India, and kudos to all involved.

You’ve most likely seen this headline:

“HDFC Gold ETF may invest up to 50% in DERIVATIVES.”

But does that mean Gold ETFs will now only hold 50% in physical gold?

Not exactly.

Here’s what most people missed about this big update. A 🧵

[Bimalendu Mishra @InvictusVibes]

@m_sidhartha07 Interesting. Pretty sure the one I am working on falls in category 5 as of now. The future scope would directly land into category 1 😬

@thisguyknowsai Negative Space Injection - find it pretty interesting but is it sustainable enough given we are trying to optimise on Accuracy vs token consumption?
