You pay tax when you earn your money. You pay stamp duty and registration charges when you spend that already-taxed money on property. Then the bank charges you for transferring the money if you use UPI. And if you withdraw your own money from an ATM beyond the free limit, you are charged for accessing it. By the time you're done, everyone seems to have made money from your money except you.

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

During an app config, Fable 5 correctly flagged a wildcard SSL issue due to the domain hierarchy. Then it recommended sharing the same wildcard cert across prod and non-prod. That's a basic InfoSec anti-pattern. The hype and the output don't match. Or is Opus behind the scenes?

Mythos doesn't have a security problem, it has an engineering problem.

[UnBoringTech @unboringtech]

AI won't eliminate software engineering.

But it will eliminate a lot of excuses.

Agree or disagree?

@rm_rf_restraint @jun_song @grok my argument was about the use cases:
GB10-
Strong for multimodel serving, finetuning, running larger models, and distributed workloads across multiple nodes.
M4-
Excels at single-stream, interactive inference. & everyday workhorse.

@rm_rf_restraint @jun_song @grok this is like comparing apples with oranges

llama.cpp now has an official website: https://t.co/vztdUpdBWL

Our goal is to make local AI accessible to everyone, and improving the user experience is a big part of that. On the new landing page you’ll find a single-line cross-platform installer. The installation provides a single unified `llama` entrypoint which you can use to run/serve models and interface with 3rd-party agentic applications.

While oriented towards simplified user experience, the new `llama` application also provides all the advanced functionality of the existing llama.cpp tooling with which experienced users are already familiar. Also note that all GGUF models that you might have already downloaded with llama.cpp in the past will be automatically available to use without downloading again (they are stored in the common HF cache on your machine).

We have many improvements in the pipeline both at the UX and at the engine level and we plan to iteratively ship new things over the coming months. One of the main focuses will be seamless integration with local-friendly 3rd-party agents (such as Pi). In the meantime, we’ll continue to listen for feedback from the community and adjust accordingly, so keep letting us know what you think and need.

@TheGeorgePu care to share the set up?

Google has killed the GPU mafia 🤯

VS Code now connects directly to Google Colab.

→ You get a free T4 GPU inside your editor.
→ Your local files. Their compute.

Let there be no confusion.
Most newspapers, barring a few, have chosen headlines that misrepresent what actually happened in the Lok Sabha. Echoing the same line, several ministers and TV anchors seem to be amplifying a narrative shaped 'elsewhere.'
The facts are plain and simple: the Women’s Reservation Bill remains intact. What was defeated was a poorly conceived attempt to redraw the political map of the country, pushed without consultation or consensus.
Facts matter. Narratives cannot be allowed to replace them. Let that sink in.
Jai Hind
