Ladies, if he's:
Reproducible: Loves you/hates you consistently,
Hermetic: Seals promises tight,
Sandboxed: Knows his boundaries,
Immutable: Steady in core values,
Declarative: Clear about needs,
Garbage collected: Leaves past mistakes behind
then you're dating NixOS, not a man

indian food delivery and the quick commerce industry are lightyears ahead of the american equivalent in terms of execution, features and general vibe. it's insane how bad uber eats, doordash or any lauda lasan delivery app here is

you ever read a paper so good that author clearly wants to make you feel smart and satisfied, and doesn't pretend that he's smarter than you? challenges your notions and then proves them in the very next section? so lucky to stumble upon this.

Hot take: Google's decision to display a 'Sign in page is getting a new look' is actually a good thing. Given how much of the internet relies on google oauth, a sudden change to their sign-in page without any warning could lead to phishing attempts using the old page design.

How Indian companies and U.S. companies that are hiring in India enforce a two-month notice period is almost criminal. In the U.S., nobody serves more than a two-week notice period. Completely messes with the planning while hiring

it's always the data. everything else is an implementation detail which is important too, but their post-training efforts are by far the best. only openai might be close to them in terms of post-training

One of the biggest psyops by YC and VCs is "big tech is bad" to make engineers work for pennies as equity (0.1% for 80 hours/week) and half the base salary of big tech. Make informed, cynical decisions when VCs pitch this.

My Dadaji was one of the strongest men I knew. He migrated from a small village in Rajasthan to Jaipur to build a life for his kids. He served as an IPS officer for most of his life, which meant he had to move between many cities in Rajasthan. One of my fondest childhood memories with him was traveling with him to different cities in Rajasthan, where he'd make sure I got everything; piano lessons, enough people to play cricket, and my favorite dish at every single meal. We'd watch the Ramayan and Mahabharat series on TV together for months, eating bhindi every single day. He'd teach me the Hanuman Chalisa or tell me stories about the gods from the Gita. I've never seen anyone as devoted to God as he was.
He wouldn't leave any stone unturned for me. If I wanted to see a movie, he'd take me. If I wanted to visit a temple, he'd take me. If I wanted to hang out with him at the police station, he'd take me. If I wanted some books, he'd buy them for me.
Back in 2016, Dadaji, Dadi, and I (just the three of us) went on a trip to see various parts of India; Darjeeling, Kolkata, Guwahati, Cherrapunji, and others. It was quite a trip; he finally let me take care of him. otherwise, his ego was usually too big to let anyone do that. Even at that age, he was devoted to show the world and God to his grandson. He lived his life with great joy, but what he loved most was taking care of his grandchildren, even more than his own kids.
I still remember the letters he used to write to me when I was in college, asking whether I was eating eggs and whether I was focusing on my studies. He loved me more than anything else in this world. Maybe I should have been better then, and more timely in writing letters back to him. It's hard to believe he's gone. His memory wasn't sharp at the end, and he had trouble remembering most things, but he still remembered me, my name, which meant the world to both of us. I'm sad that he's gone, but I'm happy he's finally resting in peace and not living a life of suffering. I'm going to miss him a lot.

interesting that cognition chose to focus on the typical SWE tasks instead of using their background to create a better bot for solving CF problems - it's because they're bottlenecked on model's reasoning like any other LLM, but it does say a lot about a typical SWE's work

friendly reminder that none of the work, grind you do matters. biological wealth, relationships are all you're sacrificing to make few more bucks. spending time with your gf/wife is 100x more valuable than working your ass off to deliver another stupid idea that nobody cares about.

40 lpa in blr can't get you a decent 3 bhk flat in blr, and barely enough to survive on rent with 1 kid. 40 lpa in most cities is kinda middle class, and still not enough to buy a house with _leftover_ savings.

dating apps should be banned in every society/country. there should be a state sponsored marriage app for every country, a large scale govt effort to target the fertility crisis and ensure people have partners which in turn lets govt earn more taxes
let's say we make a new dating app. what would you want in a dating app? what's wrong with current dating apps? how should a dating app ideally be? how can we fix/reimagine online dating?
dating should be fun, not exhausting. drop all your suggestions, or tag someone who knows.

mfs in sf going through stockholm syndrome and calling vandalism as just "kinda insane"
SF is kinda insane.
Somebody burnt two white teslas just two blocks from each other.
One of my close friends had his car parked next to one of the Teslas.
This is what his car looks like now.
Funnily enough, it still works (including lights) and we were able to drive it around.
