MIT, Stanford, IITs, RECs, YCombinator, SFO, HSR Layout are all doing well because of the extremely good peer groups. I took a midnight Uber Shared ride in BLR and bumped to a startup CTO who later made it to a multimillion acquire. Improbable outside. youtube.com/clip/UgkxucrdwTQ…

URGENTE: Claude Code encontró 14.219 fotos de mi cara en mi Android que nunca tomé. El teléfono las estaba tomando en secreto casi cada vez que lo levantaba. Incluso cuando solo estaba acostado en la cama. Incluso en casa. No capturas de pantalla. Marcos reales de la cámara frontal. En el tren. En el coche. En casa. Cuando solo lo agarraba para ver la hora. Solo estaban en una caché del sistema. Con marcas de tiempo y GPS en ellas. Nada en la Galería. Nada en Recientemente eliminados. Conecté el teléfono a mi laptop, hice una copia de seguridad completa, le dije a Claude Code que buscara cualquier archivo de cámara frontal que no estuviera en mis fotos. Extrajo /data/system/users/0/faceunlock/cache y otra carpeta dentro de Google Play Services. Más de 14 mil archivos. Los normales y los infrarrojos de Face Unlock. Cada uno tenía hora y ubicación. Empecé a desplazarme. Casi todo de los últimos 15 meses. Entonces vi un archivo creado hace 2 segundos. Todavía estaba mirando la carpeta. El teléfono siguió tomando fotos mientras leía esto. Google y los fabricantes de teléfonos dicen que Face Unlock convierte todo en un modelo matemático y elimina la imagen de inmediato. En este teléfono, los marcos crudos solo estaban ahí. Algunos de los procesos que escribían en esa carpeta eran de diagnósticos del sistema. Un par de apps antiguas que aún tenían permiso de cámara también podían acceder. Desactivé los diagnósticos, revoque el acceso a la cámara de todo lo que no lo necesita, limpié la caché. Pero cuántos de estos marcos ya se fueron a otro lado, no lo sé. Si quieres revisar el tuyo, conéctalo, haz una copia de seguridad completa o usa ADB, y pídele a Claude que busque archivos de cámara frontal fuera de tu Galería y te llevaras una enorme sorpresa!!! #UrgenteCOMPARTAN #RTMasivo

Neither Bill Gates Nor Linus Torvalds write code actively. Not writing actively for a long time.

Rest in peace, Sadha Master. One of the finest guitarists to have ever walked this soil. The magic you created with your guitar will outlive you.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe - Carl Sagan The musicians in the list are not complaining about ARR. They all sound thankful and with gratitude to him. Insecure fans of the other genius music director tho' seem salty 1/2
A compilation of stories about how AR Rahman created (??) his (??) Super hits. Amazing narrations from many musicians & singers that exposes his Music Process Outsourcing business.. Many of what ppl think were his creations & ideas were not actually his ! The #ARR thread 👇

If you want to learn a craft, art and do everything yourself, it's good. Essential. But outside academia, you do things as a team. That is what separates Humans from Animals. A parallel thing in programming: Oldies who take pride in not using autocompletion, IDEs, Libraries, AI

I miss individual office setups Not for screen privacy though For avoiding neighbors talking noise. Keeping my feet on the table. Blaring out some Vidyasagar, Deva, SA Rajkumar music and sing along loud.

Agaram 2.5B is out. It's a Tamil-first language model we trained from scratch at @MuraiLabsHQ , our small non-profit lab. As far as we know, it's the first Tamil model trained from scratch that can call tools. It chats in Tamil, Tanglish and English, translates, and can call tools. We're releasing the base model, chat model and GGUF files under Apache-2.0. You can download it and run it offline on your own laptop. The first chat model had a four-day public preview. Seeing where it fell short with real users helped us decide what to work on. We rebuilt the fine-tuning around what we saw, using 222,662 records. Thank you to everyone who spent time with that early version. The video walks through the model. You can try it here: hf.co/spaces/mechramc/agaram… நன்றி 🙏

Diwali has replaced Deepavali everywhere in Chennai English texts. Hoardings, FM Radio jingles, Corporate emails, Gift packages, etc. Spoken Tamil still remains Theebavli or Dheebavli though.

Apparently it is just "ON DELETE CASCADE" Github DodoPayments Even in the morning, I suspected that it was not a security issue, because, let us be honest, there are bigger fishes to fry, for someone interested.

🚨🇨🇳 A Chinese glass company just turned the RIOTS in France into FREE advertising! Hengxinfeng filmed NOTHING, just posted a video of its unbreakable windows on social media, and went VIRAL. EPIC TROLLING!

Unpopular opinion. This whole skin tone Emoticons / Reactions on slack is a vestige of peak DEI era. Why unique codes for each color !? It messes up my pedantic adhd `GROUP BY` view. How many light yellow and dark yellow people thumbsupped !?

Claude Code is now multiplayer. Run `/delta share` in Claude Code, and your teammate joins in their own session with your full context and uncommitted work. You're both working on the same thread, backed by DeltaDB. delta.dev/blog/claude-code-m…

NRIs and their obsession about defending BJP on everything. Day state Governments take Income tax, they will give benefits. @ptrmadurai asked Center to share Income Tax data with state Govts for targeted subsidies which minister of Adani welfares rejected thehindubusinessline.com/new…
Indians and their obsession about tax cut on everything. Why not state take some portion of tax cut like property tax cut water tax cut?

Daughter wants me to teach her C programming Possibly after hearing from my classmate that I was a prolific C programmer in college days Anyways, AI is going to make things irrelevant. Should I teach or not !? By the time she writes code, there may be newer models of Prog. 1/3

I told her to learn herself via Khan Academy or such and be self-sufficient. But she insisted. It went a bit like "It was a warm summer evening ..." by Sheldon Cooper when I told about BCPL, B, Unix, Computers, POSIX, Dennis Ritchie + Ken Thompson, before starting on main 2/3

I have a feeling that she is either not going to show interest or realise that C is not cool enough to show-off to her classmates, like say HTML, d3js etc. Only time will tell Taught about functions, return value, parameters for now. Will start with if and for if there is part 2

Unpopular opinion. I am not excited about my version control system (Git, GoEntire, ...) keeping my conversations forever, where I yell at or beg to AI, depending on my mood swings. It sounded like a good idea earlier, but not anymore as all dev is Prompting only.

MSFT is layingoff 60,000 people and going by the reports even resident Indians are affected. Not a word from @nsitharaman about tax exempting layoff settlement amount. If Cockroach Party @neha_aisa @SauravDassss etc. pick up this issue, we will get more resonating protestors.
