Namo Bharat RRTS meets Meerut Metro 🚆

Reached Meerut South in just 45 minutes, which is also the starting point of the Meerut Metro.

[Amαr 🇮🇳 @Amarrrrz]

B28 is India’s first indigenously developed bullet trainset designed to run at speeds of up to 280 kmph.

The train is being manufactured by BEML and is expected to operate on the 97 km Surat-Vapi section of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor.

According to Ministry of Railways, the first B28 trainset may be ready by early 2027, with commercial services targeted to begin around August 2027 after testing and trials.

Today was my last day at xAI, the company that I helped start with Elon Musk in 2023. I still remember the day I first met Elon, we talked for hours about AI and what the future might hold. We both felt that a new AI company with a different kind of mission was needed.

Building AI that advances humanity has been my lifelong dream. My parents left the Russian Federation after the collapse of the USSR in search of a better life for their kids. Life wasn’t always easy as immigrants. Despite the hardships, my parents believed that human values were priceless: values like courage, compassion, curiosity for understanding the world. As a child, I admired scientists like Richard Feynman and Max Planck, who relentlessly pushed the frontiers of physics in order to understand the universe. As a particle physics PhD student at CERN I was excited to contribute to that mission. But the search for new physics was getting harder and harder, requiring bigger and bigger colliders, while new discoveries kept getting fewer. So I began to wonder if superintelligence, not larger colliders, could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. Could AI develop a consistent theory of quantum gravity? Could AI prove the Riemann hypothesis? In early 2023 I became convinced that we were getting close to a recipe for superintelligence. I saw the writing on the wall: very soon AI could reason beyond the level of humans. How could we ensure that this technology is used for good? Elon had warned of the dangers of powerful AI for years. Elon and I realized that we had a shared vision of AI used to benefit humanity, thus we recruited more like minded engineers and set off to build xAI.

The early days of xAI were not easy. Naysayers told us that we arrived too late to the game, so starting a top AI company from scratch would be impossible. But we believed we could do the impossible. Starting a company from zero required lots of hands-on work. In the beginning I built many of the foundational tools used at the company to launch and manage training jobs. I later oversaw much of the engineering at the company, including Infrastructure, Product and Applied AI projects. xAI’s people are deeply dedicated. Through blood sweat and tears, our team’s blistering velocity built the Memphis supercluster, and shipped frontier models faster than any company in history. I learned 2 priceless lessons from Elon: #1 be fearless in rolling up your sleeves to personally dig into technical problems, #2 have a maniacal sense of urgency.

xAI executes at ludicrous speed. Industry veterans told us that building the Memphis supercluster in 120 days would be impossible. But we believed we could do the impossible. Our goal was to get our training setup running at scale on the Memphis cluster ASAP. Towards the end of our 120 day deadline, we were riddled with mysterious issues with communicating over RDMA between the machines. Elon decided to fly to the datacenter, and we followed. Our infra team landed in Memphis in the middle of the night and got straight to work. After pouring through tens of thousands of lines of lspci output we finally identified a wrong BIOS setting, the root of the problem. Elon was there with us until late into the night. When the training run finally worked, Elon posted our triumph at “4:20am” causing us to laugh out loud. I will never forget the rush of adrenaline that night, and the emotional bonds that we were all in this together. We went to bed feeling like we were living through the most exhilarating time of our lives.

I have enormous love for the whole family at xAI. Our team is truly special - you’re the most dedicated people I’ve ever worked with. Catching up to the frontier this quickly hasn’t been easy. It was made possible by everyone’s diehard grit and team spirit. Thank you to every single person who joined me on this adventure. I want to honor your contributions, your time, your sacrifices, which are never easy. I will always remember working together far into the nights and burning the midnight oil. I will never forget the sacrifices and contributions you’ve made. As I drive away today, I feel like a proud parent, driving away after sending their kid away to college. My heart is brimming with tears of joy, rooting for the company as it grows and matures.

As I'm heading towards my next chapter, I’m inspired by how my parents immigrated to seek a better world for their children. Recently I had dinner with Max Tegmark, founder of the Future of Life Institute. He showed me a photo of his young sons, and asked me “how can we build AI safely to ensure that our children can flourish?” I was deeply moved by his question. Earlier in my career, I was a technical lead for DeepMind's Alphastar StarCraft agent, and I got to see how powerful reinforcement learning is when scaled up. As frontier models become more agentic over longer horizons and a wider range of tasks, they will take on more and more powerful capabilities, which will make it critical to study and advance AI safety. I want to continue on my mission to bring about AI that’s safe and beneficial to humanity. I’m announcing the launch of Babuschkin Ventures, which supports AI safety research and backs startups in AI and agentic systems that advance humanity and unlock the mysteries of our universe.

@elonmusk @grok @grok How to use this feature

the best in the game keep trading, not for the rush of profits, but because they’re addicted to mastery

[Casper @casper_smc]

Part of becoming a successful trader is your family not believing in you, your friends becoming distant, your partner not believing in you

And that's ok, they just want the best for you

But you must accept that this is what comes with the life you chose

[david @joker_szn]

be obsessed with trading in your early stages

later, abandon the obsession

the less you care about any single trade, the better you execute

the better you execute, the more money you make

[Nish - Lazy Options Trader @nishtraderx]

Think of your TRADING SET UP as entering into a Relationship:

* The more time you spend, the better you understand its nuances

* It becomes more fulfilling once things start clicking

* There are hundreds of options but you need to settle for one

Choose One!

Focus On One Setup to Make Consistent Money in Trading

If you want to succeed in trading, stop hopping between strategies and focus on perfecting one setup. The more effort you put into understanding and refining it, the better your results will be.

Think of It Like a Doctor Specializing
A general doctor knows a little about everything, but a heart surgeon, who spends years mastering one field, earns the highest rewards. The same applies to trading—specialists make the most money.

How to Master a Trading Setup?
Study Historical Trades – Go through 100s or 1,000s of past charts. See how the setup performed in different market conditions.

Understand the Mechanics – Why does it work? What factors influence success or failure? When is it most effective?

Make It Second Nature – If you internalize a setup, you’ll instantly recognize high-probability trades.

Track & Improve – Keep a journal, analyze your results, and refine your approach over time.

If you trade momentum breakouts, your job is to analyze past breakouts, note the best conditions for success, and recognize warning signs of failure. Just like a chef refines a recipe, your goal is to fine-tune your setup until you master it.

Successful traders don’t gamble on random setups—they own one strategy inside and out. Whether it’s a range breakout, momentum burst, or anticipation setup, pick one, study it deeply, and make it your edge. Mastery brings profits, not randomness.

SEBI’s New Algo Trading Framework: What It Means for Retail and Institutional Traders

A long thread :

SEBI has just released a new circular on Algorithmic Trading (Algo Trading) aimed at making algo trading safer and more accessible for retail traders.

This regulatory update introduces structured oversight on API-based trading, algo provider empanelment, and classification of trading algorithms into White-Box and Black-Box Algos.
