high self esteem + low ego is key to winning in life

you know your value and aren't insecure
you learn fast, take feedback well, and move without noise.

Remember to treat your body like a data center.

Consume as much literature and water as possible.

@signulll @anandc “product thinking” has shown up as a trait in all roles that we’ve hired for in past 6 months. business or tech. hard to explain, even hard to test, but it clicks when it clicks.

@TheVishalKay productive slack and email scrolling in cafes is cool

yes - because deepseek was actually close in performance to openai / gemini / anthropic.

and yes, it’s great that sarvam is building an Indian LLM.

but the praise should come once the product is great -not just because of the country of origin.

[Aaraadhya Saxena 🇮🇳 @ihailmyindia]

India literally had its own DeepSeek moment via Sarvam, yet it’s not even celebrated 1% the way China’s DeepSeek was celebrated by us, especially when Indians used that achievement to criticise India.

I seriously don't get it.

@Keshav_Lohiaaa do read "the nvidia way" as well! very well written.

[sid @finpressos]

@MohapatraHemant @SarvamAI really want sarvam to win as a foundational model co from India. llm performance thing is understandable.

but, the "indic" stt, tts also performed below deepgram, elevenlabs in hinglish :/

these are lower hanging fruits that they should be the best at. focus may help.
