IIT Bombay welcomes the first batch of scholars to the Medical Technology Research and Innovation Centre (MED-TRIC)!
Under the leadership of Professor-in-Charge Prof. Rohit Srivastava, MED-TRIC marks the beginning of a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary Ph.D. programme in Medical Innovations. The Centre brings together clinicians, engineers, scientists and industry experts to develop indigenous healthcare technologies that address real clinical challenges through research, innovation and translational impact. We wish our inaugural cohort a successful journey as they shape the future of medical technology and healthcare innovation.

I just cloned myself...as a newborn
With this clone, I can:
+ become my own blood boy
+ test therapies on the clone
+ grow organs for transplantation
+ develop new treatments
+ inject young cells
This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now.
This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health.
Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight.
The process
> blood draw
> my cells were extracted
> yamanaka factors applied
> reset epigenetic age
> restoring them to an embryonic-like state
Why?
> these cells are now pluripotent
> can be differentiated into hundreds of cell types
> i.e. neurons, cardiomyocytes, retinal cells, etc
> allowing me to rebuild my body
> organ by organ
> repairing lost eyesight or hearing
> restoring kidney, liver or lung function
> repairing skin damage
> there’s no real limitation in imagining
> my body will accept them bc they’re my cells
> foreign cells are at risk of being rejected
As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease.
This technology gives us a path to reverse aging.
I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.
@tehseenp You are absolutely correct Sir. Even if they have preponed, govt should have given options in the petrol pumps for E0, E10, and E20.
There is absolutely no clarity. Even petrol bunk manager doesn't know anything. It's like everyone is just blindfolded.
Fact Check
❌ Claims that Bhutan declined an offer to import E20 petrol from India are incorrect.
No such offer has been made by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), and there is no proposal for export of E20 petrol to Bhutan.
✅ Please rely only on official information from MoPNG and the Oil Marketing Companies.
This is my wtf moment of the week.
I just discovered alphaxiv (a bit ashamed of not finding it sooner). The range of features is insane.
> lists the hot papers of the day
> allows you to ask AI about it
> even generate a podcast about it like NotebookLM
No cap, just value.
the ultimate guide to fine-tuning LLMs. this is a free 115-page book on arxiv and covers all the theory you need for fine-tuning:
> NLP and LLMs fundamentals
> peft, lora, qlora
> mixture of experts (MoE)
> seven stage fine-tuning pipeline
> data prep, eval, best practices
@CivicOp_india@nitin_gadkari@narendramodi Any <= BS4 are non-compliant with E20 fuel and are max on the road. GOI should give options in petrol bunk just like what Brazil did over 30 yrs. Transition should be systematic and not haphazard.
This is not expected from BJP leadership.
Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years.
This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption.

you must read Harvard’s AI Research Experience if you’re a student/researcher. A free course book which covers the essentials and tips on doing research:
> VSCode, Git, Conda
> PyTorch, W&B
> AWS, colab
> LLMs and VLMs
> reading AI papers
> research progress and organization
🚨 BREAKING: The world's ultimate all-in-one AI platform just launched, and it’s insane!
It provides access to ChatGPT, Midjourney, Veo 3, Kling, Claude, Gemini, and over 80 top models, all in one place.
SPOILER: ChatGPT is now behind.
Here’s how:
@TimesAlgebraIND Very sad to see policemen are equally vulnerable. Judicial reform is a must. Parliament should bring proper amendment to the law to make it gender neutral. Jury system should be there to avoid corruption. Lawyer association and bar should keep a check on unethical practices
Made a free Colab for Mistral v3! You can QLoRA finetune 2x faster, use 70% less VRAM with no accuracy degradations with @UnslothAI!
You can export to vLLM, GGUF, HF inference is 2x faster & we support 4x longer context windows than FA2 (24GB= 56K vs 14K)

@Paytm@Paytmcare
The customer care is unreachable and IVR always telling 10mins waiting time which never ends.
It's impossible to connect to your representative.
I have raised request for fastag closure and it's still in closure initiated status. Your chat system is horrible.
@Paytm You have to seriously improve your customer care support on fastag. They are not reachable on call and everytime the waiting time is standard 10 mins.
