Man forget what's downstream of cheating.

I became an engineer so I could succeed and win without the need for fluffy metrics and lies i.e. play a positive sum game and still win myself.

If the only way to get placements and jobs is to make cheating groups and come up with innovative ways to hide from proctorship.....might as well burn the whole edifice and go into freaking politics or something.

Your reputation and credibility will carry you farther than any single OA or company, if you can cheat on the exam, lie in the interview, lie on your resume and still retain your integrity....only then should you consider it

[kshitij vaze @VazeKshitij]

Cheating in an OA for a company - man, do whatever it takes for you to clear placement exams. I don't care. I am not here to moral police anyone, I know better than most that the world is a grey place.

Nothing is completely right or wrong, and there's nuance to it. But if you have successfully gamed the system - SHUT YOUR BITCH-ASS THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

That's all you had to do, but nope. VIT Pune and even some PICT Pune kids HAD to, just HAD to brag about it all on sub-reddits, even making guides for others to follow along.

Now I'mma sit back, and watch it all get as messy as it can be for all of y'all. I got no stake in the game, I am done and dusted with "Placements" long, long ago.

Cheat or don't, I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT IT. But come bragging about it on a public app, and I do indeed care about that.

Cheers!

@PuranjayChandel @harshitshukla70 Awesome stuff 🫡

[Puranjay Chandel @PuranjayChandel]

What used to take years to ship has been happening in weeks with AI.
Skepticism from a lot of corridors is echoing that building in consumer-tech is thus futile.

Me and @harshitshukla70 strongly feel the opposite.

@rdominguezibar What do you propose one does about it?

[Ishaan @tech_id19]

@drfeifei This is genuinely crazy, can't wait

[Ishaan @tech_id19]

Someone explain to me why using Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 required a desktop app update 😂? Did they not work with the harness or is this a sneaky way to do product updates? @ClaudeDevs a bit weird ngl

[Ishaan @tech_id19]

@shivanipod Love the call and email thing tho, pretty awesome

[Ishaan @tech_id19]

@shivanipod All this is great, but I lowkey signed up(and am now proceeding not to use) because you don't have whatsapp

Instinct is 14 people, $10bn valuation, growing at 10% per day.

This is the way.

The era of insanely high-leverage teams is here.

No thanks, I think I'm done, the contact me part of the feedback ended at 1400 hours yesterday when your customer service lady said "we couldn't dispatch it between Saturday - Monday because it was raining".

A good starting point would have been an apology, and my tracking number. If someone had such an objectively shitty experience with my service the first thought in my head would be a full refund with a freebie added....in addition to a personal call and no further asks of the customer(I called you 4 times yesterday and here you are asking for my number again, wow)

Sleep may literally be recharging your brain.

A new theory states that myelin accumulates energy during sleep, acting as a proton capacitor.

Let me make it even more concrete, here's why I'll never use your shipping if an alternative exists:
1) Shitty tracking: The seller sent you the package on Saturday, and yet till Monday I still can't track it using the docker number? 3 days not enough to scan a package? Are you joking?
------------------------------
2) Snail service: If I'm sending you a package on Saturday from Ambala to Bangalore, I expect that it will at least be on its way to blr by Saturday. And then to hear "didn't ship because it's raining" is possibly the most unprofessional shit I have ever heard.
------------------------------------
3) Zero customer focus:
- I(and the seller) have literally spent the last 3 hours trying to get your people to let me myself, with no refund, have the package picked up from your Gurgaon centre. All I wanted was, let me come and get my own stuff....I will show up to your gate and personally retrieve the item(yes, that's how terrible I think your service is). Somehow even this has proven impossible till tomorrow.
(You can't bloody let me retrieve my own package today? It's like a Kafka novel)
------------------------------------
4) Dogshit customer service: I called your people 3 times today(in addition to my seller calling):
Call 1: Excuses why you're late, and why it will take 4-5 days extra to ship to blr
Call 2: Excuses about why I can't bloody take the package myself.
Call 3: <different person> "Can't help you because even with docket number the lady you were talking to is on lunch"

The seller and I have literally found it more convenient to ship me a new piece and have the original shipment returned. This is the level to which your service has disappointed me, I don't trust a single word or letter on your tracking or your website

[Deedy @deedydas]

People say this all the time, completely ignoring that China, Singapore, Korea, Israel, Malaysia, etc also became independent around then but are far more developed. When you point this out, they say “but that’s different.”

The reality is this is decades of atrocious governance.

Really awesome line I read today, about trying out product ideas quickly:
"We can consider multiple options and still move fast. The key to considering multiple options while still moving quickly is to stop testing whole ideas, and to start testing the underlying assumptions that your ideas depend upon."

@KaitWillett sent this to my girlfriend ma'am, great stuff

AI agents can write 75% of your code and propose 55% of your algorithms, but recursive self-improvement is still hitting a wall.

A 744B MoE model was built by 56 researchers using the agent itself. The empirical data reveals the real bottleneck. 🧵
