My mother asked me today (in Tamil) "What is this AI, AI everyone is talking about? Are you doing it? You are traveling and speaking at so many events, do you give enough time for work?"

I said "Amma, speaking at events is also work" but she was skeptical. Now the pressure is really on 😅

A stark reminder to countless engineering students and their parents

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

I have often said this to our employees: the fact that software engineers get paid better than mechanical engineers or civil engineers or chemists or school teachers is not some birthright and we cannot take that for granted, and we cannot assume it will last forever.

The fact that customers pay for our products also cannot be taken for granted.

This is to remind ourselves that we can be "disrupted" - and the more we assume we won't be, the more likely we will be. Or as Andy Grove of Intel said "Only the paranoid survive".

The productivity revolution I see coming to software development (LLMs + tooling) could destroy a lot of software jobs. This is sobering but necessary to internalize.

The tech support guy @elonmusk couldn't even come up with a projector/LED screen with powerpoint for the president of the United States!? 😂

The biggest mistake you can make sometimes, is giving power/position to someone undeserving (while trying to justify to the world that they indeed deserve it). Consequence is, you will suffer in silence; because YOU ascribed the power to someone to fight YOU. Fire on both sides!

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

There are two ways of living in the world of idiots. 1. You become everyone's enemy and keep fighting or be compassionate 2. Pretend you are an idiot like everyone else. But there is a big chance of you becoming one if you subscribe to the latter method.

I have always been an explorer of 'raga', the melodic form that takes you through the highs and lows... To wherever it took me, never caring for rhythm, the 'tala', the timing aspect. In this phase of my life's journey, I think the 'time' is here now...

I realised my job is easy when I listen to super-intelligent people and speak/explain it to others. It becomes tough when a less-intelligent person, in the garb of an intellectual, starts to command.

It is easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal and get lost in the means of achieving it. It is very important to keep coming back and reminding oneself of the goal we set out for!

Leaving non-biodegradable toxic trash for next generation archeologists to dig doesn't make us advanced. The true mark of an advanced civilization is that it is so eco-friendly that it doesn't leave any trace of unnecessary stuff...

[Rohin Y @yrohinkumar]

Easiest way to lose my respect: Be a know-it-all with "this stuff is for u to learn, not for me" routine. If u think ur so great that there is no mutual learning/discussion possible, I don't need U, & u are better off without me anyways, coz, well, ur the GOAT and u know it ALL!

[Rohin Y @yrohinkumar]

This is simply brilliant!

Work truly expands to the time you allow it... It is bothersome...

The stories we tell ourselves are all relative truths... Truth will be known by the result...

@anandmahindra I think our athletes had as much chance as anyone else. A couple of unfortunate incidents aside, I feel mostly they cracked under pressure in the quarter-finals and semis. It is not easy to bear the burden of 1.4B people. Our athletes need world class psychology coaches as well!

#designinindia and #designfortheworld is a more practical, short-term achievable goal for India in semiconductors & few niche manufacturing areas than full fledged #MakeInIndia. This should boost product/industrial/creative design in India. A welcome speech in @PMOIndia address
