Onam is over and I tried to write something about - do give it a read if you find time…

Until the flowers bloom again :)

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

When you start a chess game, you have 20 possible moves available. After the first full move (White then Black), there are already over 400 possible positions. By the third move, that number jumps to around 8,900, and after the fourth it reaches nearly 200,000.

By the time you get to move #40, the total number of possible games explodes to roughly 10⁴⁰, a number comparable to the total number of atoms in the observable universe.

As they say .. the rest is history 😊

The microprocessor (aka CPU) emerged almost by accident.

In 1969, a Japanese company called Busicom contracted @intel to design a set of 12 chips for a new calculator.

Intel engineers proposed replacing the 12 custom chips with a single general-purpose programmable processor. The result was the Intel 4004, released in 1971 - widely regarded as the first commercial CPU.

Crucially, Intel almost didn't retain the rights. Busicom originally owned them, but Intel bought them back for $60,000 when Busicom hit financial trouble - a decision that would prove extraordinarily valuable.

The CPU was a side project, a secondary product line born from a calculator contract, while memory was the main business. It eventually became the main business.

The reversal took about 15 years and required a deliberate, painful strategic pivot to complete.

Forcing yourself to care about something without connecting it to a consequence is why work feels like dragging weights. Your brain remembers what felt emotionally high-stakes, not what you wished was important.

@FareedZakaria @rosehorowitch great interview @FareedZakaria and @rosehorowitch !! let’s ask the devil itself…
@grok do you think it is worth reading books even in the upcoming age of advanced AI ?

[Akshay Raveendran @CoderAkshay]

Just started the book of Elon by @EricJorgenson and @naval is nailing it as expected in the forward..

Happy 58th birthday to @intel

Founded July 18, 1968 and remains one of the most important companies on the planet. $INTC

Happy 58th anniversary, @Intel. Since July 18, 1968, Intel has helped shape the technologies that power the modern world. 58 years later, we’re still building what’s next. Let's Go... $INTC

RIP Sir Garfield Sobers, 89.
The greatest all-round cricketer the world has ever seen.. a brilliant fielder in any position, a magnificent swashbuckling batsman, and both a superb fast bowler AND spin bowler. Garry was a lovely man, too, and a West Indies hero. Very sad news.

@Codie_Sanchez great one ! but @grok is this an actual quote by Seneca ?

[Pushkar Ranade @magicsilicon]

Understanding and emulating the human brain on silicon will be the key to achieving Artificial General Intelligence at scale. Training ever larger models in power hungry datacenters will likely not get us all the way. Super excited to build brain inspired computing architectures based on algorithms that are trained on human brain activity itself!

@magicsilicon @intel ❤️🔥

[Akshay Raveendran @CoderAkshay]

@magicsilicon Why do you think that is the case ? More first principled based thinking and risk taking is easier when you are outside?

[Akshay Raveendran @CoderAkshay]

@chamath @grok Can you explain the Elon Curser deal in the context @chamath mentioned

[Akshay Raveendran @CoderAkshay]

@magicsilicon @intel and the rest is history!! #Moore’s_law
