@jsaideepak Loud firecrackers should be banned because it goes against one of the basic tenants of Sananta Dharma (causing untold harm to other living forms)
Yann LeCun was right & nobody in this industry wants to say it out loud.
109 million parameters beat 72 billion.
He has spent years saying scale is not the thing that makes a model understand the world. Meta bet the other way. He left in November and started his own lab in Paris.
Last Thursday he published the proof.
The theory everyone has been running on since 2024 is that if you train models big enough, on text, on images, on sound, they all end up with the same picture of reality inside them. Size does it. Nobody ever proved that part.
Randall Balestriero and LeCun proved it. And the proof says size was never doing the work.
What does the work is which two things you show a model together.
A photo and the caption of that photo are two views of one thing. Models trained on pairs like that get there fast.
Two paragraphs pulled from the same document are not two views of one thing. Models trained on those get there slowly and expensively.
Next word prediction is the second kind. That is what every chatbot in the world runs on.
In their tests the first method reached the same understanding after 21.6 million examples. Next word prediction needed 900 million.
And a 109 million parameter text model ended up closer to an image model's view of the world than a 72 billion parameter language model was.
660 times smaller.
CERT-IN still requires researchers submit PDF forms in order to report security vulnerabilities in the big year of 2026. Is this the agency that is expected to protect Indian computer systems from swarms of malicious AI agents and non-stop exploitation attempts?

We’re tracking the upcoming reentry of the Swift space telescope📡
The NASA Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, launched in 2004 to study space objects and events, is now on its return to Earth.
Aerospace's Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies has just released an updated prediction for its reentry time. Aerospace predicts reentry to occur on Nov 4, 2026 at 09:11 UTC ± 12 hours.

@VishnuNDTV From what I have seen, he is a no nonsense officer., One should have guts to call out HAL and he demonstrated that! One of the finest chiefs of Indian AirForce!
Arnab, the first named storm of the 2026 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, made landfall in India early on Oct. 28, 2026, causing extensive damage.
The NOAA-20 satellite captured this image of the storm prior to landfall on Oct. 27 at 1:42 a.m. local time.
Absolutely breathtaking view of the mighty Kosi River in Supaul, Bihar, with the Himalayas painting the horizon.
@TourismBiharGov must look beyond the Buddhist circuit and develop these hidden gems to put Bihar on the tourism map.
@AshwiniVaishnaw - Each and every major software vendor is mentioning eMudhra and having fixes to stop the certificates issued by them., It's bad name for India as a whole., Anyone from Govt who is awarding contracts from now on to eMudhra should be branded as a traitor! Have never seen such slackness in security! No "4" as their private certificate?
Fear mongering? All the vendors are fixing this and we are working round the clock to ensure all our systems are safe! Whoever tweeted or authorized this tweet should be fired! Indian Government IT ministry is good for nothing when it comes to cybersecurity
However, some social media accounts are indulging in fear mongering about the impact of this incident. The facts of the case are as follows:
eMudhra operates in two distinct areas:
@aniruddhdodiya The fixes are coming in from NodeJS, Java and others so that certificates issues by eMudhra TLS is blocked and all of us need to update those packages!
