Test-based certification is the only way forward in food, eager to see more over time.

Food is not simple anymore - it is a complex, industrial product with global supply and processing chains. Contamination can be introduced in many stages along the way from farming to harvest, processing, packaging, transport and preparation. Examples include pesticides, nitrates, heavy metals, plastics, bacteria, etc etc. So it's not just about what food to eat, it's about which specific food item SKU, from which specific supplier, and the only way to know is to test. E.g. these two cat foods look the same, the ingredients might look the same, but the one on the left is 1000X higher in glyphosate and 100X in lead. Or e.g. this baby food formula or turmeric is loaded with heavy metals, this canned seafood, your local boba or this milk brand is seeped in plastics, or this breakfast cereal way way too high in glyphosate (real examples).

I used to think that the FDA exercises oversight but the reality is that it doesn't have anywhere near enough resources to do it thoroughly and their focus is a lot more on e.g. acute microbial threats (like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, ...) that immediately hospitalize people, less on the rapidly growing diversity of compounds that may or may not deteriorate health over decades and that are basically treated as innocent until proven guilty under GRAS and so on. Meanwhile, the public health macro picture looks not so great - obesity up, type-2 diabetes up, fertility down (sperm count/motility), weird endocrine trends (e.g. testosterone down in men), depression and anxiety up... It wouldn't shock me if modern industrial food turns out to be a major contributor.

GPT-4.1 (and -mini and -nano) are now available in the API!

these models are great at coding, instruction following, and long context (1 million tokens).

benchmarks are strong, but we focused on real-world utility, and developers seem very happy.

GPT-4.1 family is API-only.

If you're not going to listen to me then atleast listen to the master. If you're a student or an academic dreaming of making LLMs for Indian Languages, stop wasting your time. You're not going to make it. Instead focus on more fundamental and focused problems like:

1. How to get LLMs to do a specific set of things. Niche problems rather than general capabilities.
2. Solving the data problem for LLMs. (IndicLLM Suite)
3. Solving the issue of transfer learning from English. This will need some fundamental analysis of how LLMs see multilingualism. (RomanSetu)
4. Efficiency. This is so damn important.
5. How to incorporate external knowledge and memories into LLMs.

But for god's sake, if you don't have both tons of compute and extremely talented hands, don't waste time, talent and money thinking that you will be the one to put out the next big LLM for Indian languages. Wasting all that time and compute to get a 7B LLM to the same few shot classification performance as a 200M parameter Bert, but with terrible performance for actual generative tasks only proves that you don't know what you are doing. Indian languages based NLP is extremely important but it's going to mean anything if we do it right and for that we need to solve fundamental issues.

No more IndicLLaMas pls.

Every social media is flooded with Naveen Patnaik tributes, even from BJP supporters

He was perhaps the last of the old style statesmanlike politicians who carried himself with grace, dignity, composure and never resorted to ugly personal attacks or hate speeches

During the tragic Rail Accident in Odisha, one person really needs to be appreciated. Naveen Patnaik. As the CM, he quietly did his job, provided all support to the injured passengers and rescue teams without bothering about any PR or Photo Op. That’s the sign of a good leader

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

New shocking fact on how Rail Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw's criminal negligence caused Odisha train crash:

In Feb '23 (3 months ago), a rail official flagged SERIOUS concerns on track & signaling safety after a major crash was narrowly prevented

His letter was ignored 👇

(1/9)

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Shocking facts about Modi Govt criminally ignoring railway anti-collision technology:

👉 In 2011-12, Indian Railways under then Railways Minister @MamataOfficial developed the "Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)" system

👉 Modi Govt, after coming to power, typically renamed this to #Kavach purely to take credit

👉 There was ZERO PROGRESS on deploying this crucial rail safety technology until 2019 when 3 companies were approved for manufacturing & installing KAVACH on railways

Now here's the facts as they stand today:

👉 Indian Railways has a total route length of 68,043 km

👉 From this entire route, KAVACH/anti-collision system has been installed on ONLY 1,445 km.

That's ONLY 2% of total railway routes

👉 As of date, about 98% of Indian Railways do NOT have any anti-collision devices/systems

While anti-collision systems don't exist on 98% of Indian Railways routes, the Modi Govt is shockingly focused on starting more Vande Bharat high-speed trains most of which are personally inaugurated by PM Modi.

New high speed trains being deployed on a railway network where 98% of it is without anti-collision technology. What could go wrong?

The shocking train crash in Balasore, Odisha, last night could have been prevented by a functioning anti-collision system.

But due to BJP's focus on Modi's Vande Bharat PR & photo-ops instead of safety, over 233 people have died & over 900 are injured in just 1 night.

The blood of 233 Indians is on the hands of BJP, PM Modi, & Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw who have criminally ignored railway safety technology available to them since 2012.

Union Railways Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY if he has any conscience or sense of responsibility and shame left in him.
