@balajis@balaji, I'm at @ns building the next generation of personal computing. We're redefining human-AI interaction to save time and bring focus back to the real world. my device in six months will change how people use computers. I'd love to share the vision.
There’s a Silicon Valley for tech families… but it’s not in California.
It’s in Johor, Malaysia, costs a fraction, has a waiting list, and zero cut-throat competition.
It’s the hidden-gem version.
I attended an @ns Families session last week, and this is what they're actually building.
Network School is already known as the hub for builders and founders.
What’s quieter: a fast-growing circle of tech parents raising kids while shipping companies and products. Today we sat down to level up the family side.
First problem every parent named in the first 60 seconds: How do you burn off a toddler’s endless energy so they actually sleep at night?
Sounds small. It’s not. It’s the difference between a productive day and a completely destroyed one.
i was today years old when I learnt that the original @Pokemon Game Boy had 8KB of RAM and ran at 1MHz.
that's less powerful than a modern calculator.
the entire game fit into 1MB. a single iPhone photo is bigger than that🤯
the entire game was written in Assembly. no engines. no Unity. no Unreal.
just raw communication with the CPU.
151 Pokemon, maps, music, sprites, NPCs, save system, trading, and an open world. all of it.
every Pokemon was a tightly packed data structure: stats, moves, types, evolution pointers, all compressed into microscopic memory space.
and they made real-time multiplayer work.
two Game Boys syncing battles over a link cable in real time.
the original devs didn't even think they could fit one map into the constraints.
then Satoru Iwata came in and optimised the code so aggressively they fit entire new regions into Gold and Silver (the same person who later became @Nintendo 's CEO).
modern games run on terabytes, cloud servers, and millions of lines of code.
there's a name for what they did: engineering violence.
extreme constraints. deep optimisation. zero waste.
and it became the highest-grossing media franchise in history.
builders take note: the Game Boy’s limits didn’t hold Pokémon back. they made it what it is
sometimes the constraint IS the cheat code.
