Thrilled to share that I'll be joining the #PhD program in Computer Science & Engineering @MichiganStateU this fall!

I'm thankful to everyone without whom this wouldn't be possible. Also, I am indebted to my alma mater @iitKGP for this! :)

Absolutely. Thanks a ton to @deviparikh!

3/3 Their 'muPC' algorithm provides a local, biologically plausible, and highly scalable equivalent to backprop. A deserved winner of this year's @SussexNeuro prize 👏 Paper here -> https://t.co/HYUNfpW25D

🛳️Rolling out interactive Mindmaps in NotebookLM!

I'm so inspired by the Exploratorium here in SF - What if every notebook generated your own personal set of interactive understanding toys that help you learn through play? What if instead of text or images, Notebook could even reply with these toys?

Personal tailored software is so exciting to me. 2025 is the era of Apps just for you. Gonna be crazy.

Congrats to India for beating Pakistan in cricket just now.

It's a historic rivalry, one of the biggest in any sport ever.

I don't usually watch cricket, but I'm glad I caught this epic clash of rivals... while I'm in India 🤯

I will be doing a podcast with Narendra Modi (@narendramodi), Prime Minister of India, at the end of February.

I've never been to India, so I'm excited to finally visit and experience many facets of its vibrant, historic culture and its amazing people as fully as I can.

We are very excited to announce Kinetix: an open-ended universe of physics-based tasks for RL!

We use Kinetix to train a general agent on millions of randomly generated physics problems and show that this agent generalises to unseen handmade environments.

Fall looks good on you, MSU. 🍂

My friend told me he and his wife live paycheck to paycheck.

I don't believe it because they both are high earners in tech, and he even works for Google. But after doing a little bit of math, I found out he didn't lie.

• Mortgage: $17,000/month for a $3M home
• Property Tax: $3,000/month
• Private School: $3,000/month for 1 kid
• Travel: $2,000/month (assuming $20k/year)
• Utilities: $1,000/month
• Groceries: $2,000/month
• Eating Out: $1,000/month
• 2 cars: $1,000/month

So in total $30k per month, not including other misc costs like house maintenance, paying for Netflix, etc.

W-2 employees usually take home only 50% of their salary, so they have to make $60k per month pretax, which is $720k in annual TC.

What's the point of living a life like this?
