Government: You owe us money. It’s called taxes.
Me: How much do I owe?
Gov’t: You have to figure that out.
Me: I just pay whatever I want?
Gov’t: Oh, no we know exactly how much you owe. But you have to guess that number, too.
Me: What if I get it wrong?
Gov’t: You go to prison.

While NVIDIA added ~$250B market cap overnight, they’ve been making moves in AI for a while

In 2016, CEO Jensen Huang, hand-delivered the world's 1st AI supercomputer - DGX-1 - to Elon Musk

It took 3,000 people working for three years to make the product - costing $2 billion

The LLM uses GPT-4 to improve its ability to complete its task continuously, in this case, Minecraft, by adapting and rewriting its code.

This is huge not only in developing autonomous agents but also in improving human-less game testing.

The more I shove my emotions down, I deeper I sink into depression. I am engulfed with resentment and anger and I keep them inside me, because I cannot handle loud, bad behaviors and arguments upfront. I think I need therapy but I am so lost.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

My current reality leaves very little to daydreams and wishful life choices. When I think of graduating and starting my job now, it’s all about taking up the financial responsibility banner. It is vastly different from choosing how interesting my job can be, and that’s fine.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

Frankly, it’s too much. I have complete meltdowns more often than I admit. I feel so bad for Ma, she feels helpless when I cry. So I’ve stopped telling her too. Self-help is all I have, because I really shouldn’t rely so much on others, it’s not their battle - they’ve their own.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

Some also say, life doesn’t stop, and the world doesn’t care about my sorrows. I’m sure that is true. But here I am, responsible for my old mother (and to an extent, my sister), RIGHT NOW. It’s not a speculation, it’s my present.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

I grieve over my father’s death every day. I watched him slowly moving towards the end, and it changed something in me fundamentally. Over the years, I knew how much he relied on me, and loved me more than anyone else, and I felt so grateful. I miss his presence more than ever.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

Some say, it takes years to heal over a parent’s death, but I don’t think I’ll ever make it. I don’t express this often, because most people do not understand the pain of losing the anchor of their lives, so they either give me some random comparisons, or unnecessary advices.

I am acutely perturbed by the constant expectations of grad school and responsibilities of personal life, the latter of which I have less and less time for right now. I need this situation to change, and change soon. It is harming my sleep and my mental peace.

@IntelSupport I have sent you the details. Appreciate the help.

[Manisha Mondal @ManishaMTweets]

@intel @IntelSupport Apparently Intel fired so many #HR, they didn't send me a W2 (former intern), didn't respond to my multiple requests, and screwed up my entire #taxapplication. Even their technical managers don't help after your work is over. What an unprofessional behavior!
