Resonate strongly with the ideas/thoughts of being a Net Contributor, evolution of civilization in terms of utilization of Energy, the growth of Collective Consciousness of Humanity, Morality without Religion and how Absurd beliefs can lead to attrocities.
Heard Nikhil Kamath X Elon Musk podcast—quite profound.
Just to add my opinion to the podcast:
Even in a hypothetical perfect AI/Robotics future, with Universal High Income, education will continue to be important.
Apart from building skills for earning, education builds character and personality as well. It builds critical thinking, structured thought, understanding the laws of nature etc. The basic human instincts will continue - be social, attachment, feelings of anger/agression/empathy/altruism. And education would always be important in pursuit of Happiness.

@mshree01 Totally wrong generalization, probably a click bait. Career/Job is not just for financial purpose but an identity. Why would an accomplished educated person sit at home doing household chores. People around me would always choose a wise, knowledgeable, independent companion.
Exciting to see Golang picked up for building the new typescript compiler. Have been using GoLang for more than 4 years now. Amazing simplicity and performance.
Simplicity in terms of code constructs, managing dependencies, build/deployment pipelines.
Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness!

@jishasurya Bought Ola S1 Air. After 1 week it started giving error that charger is connected and can't start scooter, even when no charger is connected. Gave it for servicing since 10 days. No response.
@kunalkamra88@nitin_gadkari@jagograhakjago Bought Ola S1 Air. In 1 week, it started giving error that charger is connected and can't start scooter even though no charger is connected, making the scooter totally useless. Gave to service center. No reply since a week. Have taken ola care+, none of whose promises are adhered
Don't buy @OlaElectric. Got a new ola s1 air. Within 1 week, it started giving error that charger is connected and can't start even if charger is not connected.
Gave it for servicing for a week, however, no service done. Further, took ola care+ which is further empty promises.
Now, go-api-boot supports Zero Config SSL.
- Automatic SSL Certificate Acquisition from LetsEncrypt.
- ACME Challenge Handling to prove ownership of domain.
- Exponential Backoff Retries for ACME Challenge to support serverless container platforms.

The three heroes gearing up to save Europe from nuclear fallout: Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov, Boris Baranov, 1986.
10 days after the Chernobyl accident, engineers learned of impending nuclear steam explosions. The plant's water-cooling system had failed, and a pool of water had formed directly under the reactor. Without any cooling, it was only a matter of time before the reactor's core dropped into the pool, setting off massive steam explosions, shooting radiation high into the sky and spreading it across Europe and even parts of Asia and Africa.
Only one man knew the location of the release valve, and his name was Alexei Ananenko, one of the plant's engineers. He, along with another engineer Valeri Bezpalov and shift supervisor Boris Baranov, were asked to take on the suicide mission. The men were given the option to refuse; however, Ananenko simply replied, "How could I do that when I was the only person on the shift who knew where the valves were located?"
They entered Chernobyl via the reactor's chamber, standing in waist-high radioactive waters in total darkness. Baranov's diving light was reportedly dim and periodically flickering on and off. Every minute spent in the facility was another minute that isotopes freely ravaged their bodies. The light eventually burned out permanently, but not before they saw a familiar pipe that they knew led to the valves they were looking for. They grabbed the pipes and followed it until they found the two gate valves, which they twisted open to let the water out. The pool quickly began to drain.
Many news sources reported that all three men died within a few weeks due to radiation sickness. However, according to Andrew Leatherbarrow, author of the 2016 book "Chernobyl 01:23;40," Ananenko continues to work in the nuclear energy industry, and Bezpalov was also found to be alive. Baranov died in 2005 of heart failure at the age of 65.
It is believed that the water absorbed much more radiation than initially believed and ultimately saved their lives.
As a passenger on the Coromandel Express from Howrah to Chennai, I am extremely thankful to have escaped unscathed. It probably is the biggest train accident related incident. Thread of how the incident unfolded 1/n
In a first-of-its-kind initiative that will see enhanced integration between medical education & engineering, @IITMadras has launched a Department of Medical Sciences and Technology (https://t.co/iAClXWNq28) that will offer 4-year B.S. program in Medical Sciences and Engineering.
I feel compelled to cover *beam search* in my undergraduate AI class today. But that got me thinking, why is beam search the default choice for LLM decoding when there are many more advanced algos, e.g., IDA*, SMA*?
