Life is amazing:
-gyms exist
-Christopher Nolan movies exist
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-you and your wife can get drunk at a dimly-lit steakhouse then go home and watch Titanic and smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a Coldplay concert
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country
-you’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle
If anyone ever complains in front of you tell them they’re an idiot :)
An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.
With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.
A lesson from my late grandmother: Never fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love. The most beautiful things in life exist on a razor’s edge—good right next to bad. You can’t earn the former without confronting the latter. They dance together in a beautiful symphony.
Im grateful to be alive and to have the ability to experience joy. One thing I've learned over the years is... without joy, life sucks. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy the moment. Spread joy.
"I am sometimes taken aback by how people can have a miserable day or get angry because they feel cheated by a bad meal, cold coffee, a social rebuff or a rude reception. We are quick to forget that just being alive is an extraordinary piece of good luck, a remote event, a chance of occurrence of monstrous proportions. Imagine a speck of dust next to a planet a billion times the size of earth. The speck of dust represents the odds in favor of your being born; the huge planet would be the odds against it. So stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t be like the ingrate who got a castle as a present and worried about the mildew in the bathroom. Stop looking at the gift horse in the mouth – remember you are a Black Swan." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Many skilled workers have died in #greencardbacklog because of DEI country quotas.
It’s difficult to quantify the deaths caused by workers hired at critical positions because of DEI-based country quotas.

Congrats to DeepSeek on producing an o1-level reasoning model! Their research paper demonstrates that they’ve independently found some of the core ideas that we did on our way to o1.
The hidden tax on being Indian:
✓ Pay Medicare taxes: 20+ years
✓ Pay Social Security: 20+ years
✓ Access to benefits: None
✓ Chance of green card: LOL
✓ Money returned: $0
Let this sink in.
The math doesn't add up:
✓ 20 years building America's tech
✓ 20 years paying all taxes
✓ 20 years following every rule
= No green card
= No Social Security
= No Medicare
= Kids must leave
All because: Indian?
Dear America:
If you won't give green cards
If you make Indians wait 100 years
If you force their kids to leave
Could you at least Return their 20+ years of Social Security taxes?
Just asking!
As an immigrant myself, the H1-B issue is close to my heart.
By increasing H1-B visas and streamlining the H1-B and greencard process, America maintains our edge on innovation & discovery.
Reform of legal, skill-based immigration creates economic growth and more American jobs.
