Happy Birthday Jesse Ryder: A Cricketer Who Could’ve Been Anything, But Lived Everything.
Kind of talent that doesn’t come twice. A man who danced with demons off the field & danced down the pitch with flair. A story of brilliance, rebellion, revival & heartbreak.

In 1948, this man was found dead.
No cause of death.
No one waiting.
No record.
No name.
No past.
He was erased so perfectly, it lasted 74 years.
In 2022, they found out who he was.
And wished they hadn’t. 🧵
Everyone is talking about MCP, but this was a massive week in AI Agents
I summarized everything announced by OpenAI, LangChain, AutoGen, Hugging Face, LlamaIndex, Reworkd, Composio, MetaGPT, & more
Here's everything you need to know & how to make sense of it:
(save for later)

I found Kohli's second guessing skill quite fascinating in the 29th over of the IND vs PAK match.
It's about how he brings his bat-tap into his game and abandons it within this over.
Might delete the thread later as it might create copyright issues. So here it is:

Aleksander Doba kayaked solo across the Atlantic Ocean (5400 km, under his own power) three times, most recently in 2017 at age of 70. He died in 2021 while climbing Kilimanjaro. After reaching top asked for a two-minute break before posing for photo. He then sat down on a rock and "just fell asleep".

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"
It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.
