@ParadisLabs Paradis, could Frontier labs’ MRR decline soon if open source self hosted models work out cheaper and are almost equally effective?

Boeing was paid billions more than SpaceX to be seven years late on a mission it could not complete . . . And will now be rescued from total disaster by SpaceX

Never forget, many bureaucrats wanted to sole source all of this to Boeing.

Buffett in 2003: "When you get to be my age, you will be successful if the people that you would hope to have love you, do love you.

Charlie and I know a few people that have a lot of money. They get their names on buildings. And the truth is nobody loves them."

Being in the center of the #bangalorerains, I feel people r still unaware about ground realities:

- Electricity is there...

The impact of floods depends on amount of rainfall, the shape of the land (topology), the drainage capacity and the affected people/assets.

The following plots are simple ones based only on topology.

Darker blue = greater risk

Bangalore (and India I guess) seriously needs more activities that are more than eating and drinking. Like art museums with more variety, art festivals, good aesthetic city parks that aren’t overly policed by rules and people etc.

@NGKabra Haha, it was long back around 2015. Industry vs academia vs startups kind of a talk.

[Akshay @akshayssarode]

@NGKabra Thanks for the perspective you gave us at IITB during career talks. :)

[Akshay @akshayssarode]

@NGKabra Better alumni network, better brand, better placements, diverse student set from all over the country.
