Always wanted my own Jarvis..🙌

See how Sagar keeps his eyes on the soldering iron while Griffin talks him through the job and counts the seconds for him. Time is part of the conversation too, not just words. That's what a good coach does without being asked.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.

48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.

It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

@GabbbarSingh Deeptech requires huge investment and patience.. probably not the appetite for Indian VCs, where 10 min delivery is more lucrative in terms of quick exit, therefore more money poured hence more relent moving there.

Sorry but I don’t think ISRO, DRDO, HAL etc are attracting the best talent of the country. To conclude that we aren’t capable of producing jet engines, or advanced military hardware, is based on the hypothesis that our best talent is trying it out.

Our best talent is still focused on serving your poha to you in less than 10 mins, or showing you an ad of an item, you are most likely to buy.

With the Deep tech resurgence, the talent that will flow into this vertical will be game changing. It’s already showing results. Sarkari afsars will not like it.

Good Read!

This is wild ! Sheer persistence and grit, well reworded..

James Dyson still owns 100% of Dyson, which does annual sales of ~$9B.

His mentor Jeremy Fry gave initial seed capital in 1979 and owned 49% of Dyson up to early-1990s.

Dyson told David Senra he bought out Fry for £45k. They remained friends after (Fry left because they were in a lawsuit with another company and he didn’t want to deal with it).

Also, it did take Dyson 5,127 prototypes and years before his breakthrough.

The company is probably worth $20-30B and he owns 100%. Wild.

Good read! Every line looks shorter than the one you’re standing right now, may be every one is feeling FoMo..

A few thoughts on switching lines. https://t.co/3JIXR2G4eJ

What an amazing take!

@paraschopra Not asking clarifying questions and filling the knowledge gaps with assumptions are the key reasons, may be in our society answering question is more rewarded than asking questions. Asking questions considered lack of intelligence.

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

30/ The point is not to avoid working hard, but it is to work on things you find fulfilling while completely ignoring what you think is the objectively right thing to do (which is often an idea implanted into your head by the society).

@arpit_bhayani Never thought you were gujju.

@aditya_baradwaj @AravSrinivas I bet you must be replying to every emails titled ‘need founding engineer’ 😆

"Programming is similar to a game of golf. The point is not getting the ball in the hole but how many strokes it takes." - Hayley Mills

Early in my career, I used to write code and immediately run it to see if it worked. You might think there's nothing wrong with that, and the most amazing programmer I know does this differently. He carefully reviews his code before hitting run, and it usually works on the first try.

Just like a golfer plans each shot to achieve their goal efficiently, I do the same when I'm most productive. I take a pen and paper, split my tasks into logical steps (milestones/holes), and focus on each milestone to make it work with the least tries. I strike off each milestone on paper, making the process both efficient and enjoyable.

@ritendn Congratulations @ritendn Good luck 👍

Sarah from Total environment called me up to tell me not only about good properties to buy in Bangalore, but she also solved the tower of hanoi problem in python & explained me the difference between python + Rust

grateful to Sarah from Total environment 🙏🏻

@arpit_bhayani @gauravmunjal On point, we need frameworks, solutions, sense of surety before we venture out.

[Vishal @reactaddict]

Never take “NO” for an answer because it’s said so by some “expert” in that field.

Always Seek Deep for an answer. ��

@dagorenouf Build aggregators where these AI agents gets their data or push output to. No one will want to replace their old workflows, tooling etc, they just want AI part.
