If you don't care about outcomes or impact at all, this is truly a golden age for builders and curious explorers!

Ask your agents to build weird, deeply-personal projects that make no sense to anyone else.

[Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk]

When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'!
He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile.
He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back.
He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories.  
Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom.
You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona'
May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

Of course, that’s your contention. You’re a first-year machine-learning engineer. You just got finished readin' Attention Is All You Need, probably watched a Karpathy video too. So now you’re convinced everything is just transformers and scaling laws.

That's gonna last until next month when you discover convolution, and then you're gonna be talkin' about inductive biases and locality and how CNNs were actually incredibly compute-efficient for vision.

Then you're gonna read the FlashAttention paper, and suddenly everything's about IO complexity and SRAM and how FLOPs don't matter because the whole goddamn thing is memory-bandwidth bound.

That'll last until somebody shows you an MoE model, and then you're gonna be in here regurgitating DeepSeek, talkin' about expert parallelism and active parameters and how dense models are economically obsolete.

Then six months from now you'll write one shitty Triton kernel, look at an Nsight trace for the first time, and start telling everybody Python isn't actually the bottleneck because the GPU is asynchronous.

And by next year you're gonna be standing right here explaining to me that your 400-billion-parameter model is fast because you turned on CUDA graphs.

We just raised an $8M seed round to kill AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Introducing https://t.co/E3LHVE410x, the agent-native serverless cloud.

Your team is shipping code like never before. But you're getting caught up in manual, tedious DevOps work trying to deploy it.

InstaCloud provides the serverless compute that lets your services autoscale, with all the infrastructure managed for you.

Agents branch into complete replica environments when working, keeping prod safe and iteration speed high.

And of course, it all works seamlessly with agents through MCP/CLI.

Get off the traditional, legacy cloud.

Start deploying your services on InstaCloud today.

Oh my god, Firebase’s SDK started to crash ALL iOS apps that were using it, for ALL sessions, just like that, no way for any of these apps to do anything…

How amateur is all of this from any SDK, but especially one from a company with as high of an engineering bar like Google…

Excited to share Quail, our new open source AI-SQL engine (a collab with Modal)! By planning queries and LLM inference together, it reaches 1B+ input tokens/min on one H100 for one query 😱🚀

AI-powered data operators create a new, interesting inference workload👇

Someone once told me that fear of heights is not really the fear of falling but the fear that the irrational urge to throw yourself over the edge will become irresistible. True in my experience

Leave your mind alone, that is all. Don’t go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.

[kshitij vaze @VazeKshitij]

Early 20s are crucial because you find out what being a man is all about.

And you have a choice, to either embrace it, or run from it.

What you choose, defines you as a human for the rest of your life.

You move out of the shell that you were raised in. Physically, it means that you leave your home, either for college or for a job. You leave the city that you were raised in, you leave the streets that you played in, you leave the comfort of knowing all that was around you. You get into an unfamiliar place, where people are unknown, intentions are unclear, direction is yet to be searched for. You find out quickly just how much work goes into living a life, and I am not even talking about the job you now have that you once dreamt of.

Okay, you got a place to stay. Well who's coming to cook for you? Who's going to take care of the dishes after you are done? God forbid your lodgings don't have a washing machine, because it's either a 2-hour slog on the weekends, or a fat 300 rupee bill a week at the cleaners. Okay, you got a cut, bruise, scratch or an injury.
Who knows what to do about it?
What if you are down by a fever?
Do you even know what pills to take?
Or do you trust the local chemist-oh wait, you don't even know where that is.

You have a thousand thoughts that surround your head, loom over you for every second of your existence, you don't understand what's happening to you cause it's never been like this before. The storm that pours over your mindspace becomes impossible to ignore, you start coasting through your days, hours feel like minutes, night and day feels like it's one and the same, the routine chokes the little semblance of creativity left in you, and you look around yourself and find out that you don't know who to talk to about it all.

You call up that one friend of yours and find out that he or she is too busy to sit and hear you out for more than 5 minutes, your siblings try as much as they can but they cannot seem to just get it, and you have a paralyzing dread about mentioning it, it even in passing to your colleagues.

And Mother sure as hell ain't around anymore to drop all that she's been doing, and sort it out for you.

Oh and that job you slogged so damn hard to get? Well, that's yours now. Congratulations laddie, now come put in these 80 hours over 6 days because your boss told you so, even if it says 48 hours in a week on that little offer letter you signed before you even anything apart from the salary breakup because you that so damn excited. Wait, did I say 6? Hell yeah I said 6, what did you think this was, school? Where you get your weekends off? With no stress? LMAOOO.

And you can forget about what the role says on your offer letter. You are going to do what's needed of you, regardless of you knowing how to do what you are asked of. "Top-performers" figure it out, they said. You need to find a way and get it done, they said. WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU DOING IT RIGHT, they will say.

Now get back home and collapse onto your bed, and you scroll your phone for less than a damn second, and you are bombarded with adverts for clubbing and drinks, and DJs, and dances. Your colleagues have been pushing HARD for a "team bonding" activity too, and you somehow decide that going out for drinks with the people you work is a great idea. You start slipping into the escape that a glass provides to you, because for those 3 hours on a Friday night, nothing seems to matter. The DJ blasts the most popular reels music of the week on the speakers, there are baddies in the club dancing and they have not a care for the world if you join in, so you do.

You wake up on the weekends all fucked up, and before you are fully sober, well, it's Monday again. You coast through it all for a year or so, and then the landlord shows up one day, saying that rent's up by 15%. You look at your savings account, and you hear it laughing back at you. And your appraisal? Let's not even talk about that. And God forbid if something breaks down. The fridge that's been installed since the last 15 years by your homeowner is now bust, the fan's capacitor blew out, you wake up and find out that the water is now cut off, your bike's engine refuses to crank, or the tires have holes in them, and you are fucked. What on earth are you supposed to do now?

And father sure as hell ain't around anymore to drop all that she's been doing, and sort it out for you.

Early 20s are crucial because you find out what being a man is all about.

And you have a choice, to either embrace it, or run from it.

Now you can either run form it all, or choose to fix and find a way.

What, you thought I was going to preach here about "how did I find a way through my own turmoil". Hell no, because I don't think I have. I am fucking 23 man, and this was all that I could pen down in 30 minutes.

There is so, so much more that ravages my mind on the daily, y'all. Loans on the family, a non-existent love-life, career questions, the perennial "Am I good enough?", and so, so much more. But you see, it's a Wednesday morning for me. And I gotta be out the gate in the next 14 minutes, because I have a job to do.

All I know, is that as long as I have a source of income, a roof over the top of my head, and a functioning body and mind - all shall be figured out. All NEEDS to, HAS to be figured out.

That's the only correct way to live life, fighting all that plagues me, as long as I continue to draw breath. Long ass post at the start of the day, I know.

Do let me know if you actually read through it, I gotta personally thank you for it.

Cheers boys. At the end of the day, you got this. And if you don't, well, the day ain't over yet.

I love Astra BUT

I genuinely get ick whenever people use these models to tokenmaxx on some task they could solve with like 5k tokens using existing CV stack like @huggingface transformers or @roboflow under 200 LoC and low latency (real time)
