@svembu Deepseek Qwen with 27B running locally on a MacBook Pro was able to help me do useful work. I hope the AI models become like Linux distros of the future .

@thekaipullai @NeoTweetTimes Don’t be too hard on yourself .. living where you live and dealing with systems around you can cause that !! Continue your work

@Redbeeea Rent a fork lift to avoid any scratches and drama 😂

Inside your smartphone, there's one small screw.

In Tokyo's Ota Ward, a tiny factory with just three employees can machine it to a precision of 0.001 millimeters — one-tenth the thickness of a human hair.

NASA places orders with them.
Toyota executives come bowing their heads to request their work.

99.7% of Japanese companies are small and medium-sized enterprises.

The true strength of this country isn't in skyscrapers or famous brands.

It's in the oil-stained hands of craftsmen like these.

@Liathetrader @Ferrari Art is something that evokes a feeling and a reaction . Ferrari cars were art . This is not . May be a good design .. but doesn’t evoke desire to own it

[Arun Seelam @aforaruntejs]

@balajis Center right it is then

[Arun Seelam @aforaruntejs]

@FerrariJPN Bro Jony Ive should stick to hand held gadgets !! This is not his turf

[Arun Seelam @aforaruntejs]

@GazzettaFerrari The new Ferrari seem to hurt a lot of fan boys !! This might become a teachable moment for the wrong reasons … sad to see Ferrari make a Hyundai Elantra EV 😔

[Arun Seelam @aforaruntejs]

@KobeissiLetter As usual trying to take a narrow view of a data point to rile up fear . Be more than chicken little .

@bscholl By far the most convenient airport in US to travel to and from. Tiles might be old .. did not have to stay long enough to check them out

@Abhindas1 Early days of uber , taxi drivers used to use uber like this .. we all know how it ended

Met a production manager last week from a factory of southeast Germany.
Third generation running the place….

340 employees. They stamp precision parts for Tier 1 automotive suppliers.

He knows automation is coming. He’d done his research. Read the articles, watched the webinars, scrolled the LinkedIn posts.

Then he said something I haven’t stopped thinking about:

“Everything I read is written by people who have never smelled a factory.”

He is not wrong.

Most robotics content is written for investors.

Or for other tech people.

Robots doing things in slow motion that look nothing like a real production environment at 6am on a Monday.

Meanwhile this man is trying to make a real decision. With real capital and real jobs on the line. Integration into a 40-year-old process? that can’t just stop?

And the people writing about “the future of manufacturing” have never had to answer to a shift supervisor.

This is the gap I like to talk about.

European industrial companies are not stupid. They’re not slow. They’re careful… because they’ve been burned before by technology that looked great in a demo and fell apart in production.

They don’t need more hype.

Just something that works. Focus on that, and you’ll be fine. Do the boring stuff. Makes them happy.

@NirangkushDas @svembu Fair point . How does one eat an elephant . One spoon at a time . One small change at a time .. eventually we will get there

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware - Alan Kay

We at Boson believe in it and we walk the walk before we talk , our hardware is solid and it’s proven . The software will start to build on that this fall.
