Hey All! If you are at KubeCon London, come over to our talk at AI Day on April 1st at 9:30am at N10, Room G. I’ll be describing a GenAI infra stack that we built out at Elotl combining RAG and Text-to-SQL agents on Self-hosted LLMs.

"In a chapter titled ‘An Unequal Music’, Krishna describes how an urban Brahmin elite took over the art in the late 19th century, stripping it of the participation of other castes, of the sensuality of Sadir..."

@alim1213 @nrithyapillai Sharing since the work you do on erased histories of dance might be suitable for this.

[Selvi K @selvikad]

@solomonstre Agree! With the immense power that our tech peers wield - we need SHTEAM to become cool: "history" to do right with their skills. Also both comp. science and political history.

[Selvi K @selvikad]

@ibuildthecloud Loved it because I got to ask the why/why-nots/how-come about products + projects that is not in the user-docs; that which folks can’t say to me in a mailing-list or slack channel. So many folks I spoke to were open and generous to share the other-side! :-) Came back energized.

Unravelling IIT’s casteism problem: https://t.co/pIHqhh8C6x

[Buffalo Intellectual @ProfRavikantK]

student suicide at IIT Kharagpur.
can already predict next events:

- blame student "couldnt cope w curriculum"
- random committee for "helping weak students"
- no review of casteist exclusionary culture
- no resignation/accountability

[Selvi K @selvikad]

@nrithyapillai How do we start building these networks for those who do not have the structural privilege of caste ? Is it even possible? Can we learn from the theory of networks to figure out how from mini circles these could potential grow larger?

[Selvi K @selvikad]

Wow! A detailed writeup outlining how etcd for Kubernetes could be replaced by @CockroachDB by @steve_kuznetsov: https://t.co/fFvUrOqi6W

Does anyone know the status of this effort? Or related efforts?

[Selvi K @selvikad]

@ibuildthecloud If you could share, I'm very curious as to what functionality of service mesh you needed and what you choose to use instead to meet those needs? Thank you!

Indeed, scaling Kubernetes without GitOps is a bad idea, says @ElotlInc's @selvikad. @fluxcd @argoproj https://t.co/LD4G6HsIfn
