Caleb, I want to thank you and your partner at @RuntimeBRT, Aryaman Shah, for being such incredible cheerleaders for this exploding startup ecosystem! But I can’t resist a light-hearted question: Why has it taken you nine years, rather than nine months, to deliver this rallying cry for startups?! 🙂 Seriously, though, you guys are wonderful sutradhaars of this revolution. And perhaps your most powerful message of all? “Picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost!” A phrase I’m sure you’re very familiar with by now…
"I believe the world is about to witness a tidal wave of technological innovation emerging from India." The world has a very outdated view of what India is, and I think many people are going to be utterly shocked when this wave that you're describing @anandmahindra finally reaches them. "This robot was made in India? Even the actuators?!" "This specialty chemical was discovered and manufactured by an Indian company? And they've got a patent for it too?!" "The electric vehicle I love driving so much was built indigenously in India? Along with the battery cells?!" So much has changed in just ~5 years. It's mind-boggling even for someone like me who has called India home for nine years and has been laser-focused on startups. Young people are entering adulthood with no self-imposed mental limitations. No ceilings. They believe they can do anything, build anything, be anything. I believe they can too.

Linus Torvalds to the anti-AI crowd: stop using compilers if you want to prove they’re REAL programmers. LOL. “you had better not use an editor to write that commit message either. The kind of expectations *I* have is that people do their best and I expect people to understand what they are doing. But that understanding has very little to do with what tools they use. And quite honestly, in my experience, the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools.”
Linus Torvalds says, rules prohibiting AI usage are “UTTERLY STUPID” and “idiotic”. For the Linux kernel, Torvalds says, “we’re not going to make stupid rules that say ‘you can’t use tools for X’”.

You've seen what taan can do at first try. But here's what it can do if you want to make refinements! Taan lets you change only what you want without having to regenerate from scratch! Join for beta access : taan.ai/beta demo 002
This is Taan. Give it your video and it'll create music fit to it perfectly. Over the last couple of weeks it's been getting goood So I thought I'd starting showing you all :) Join for beta access : taan.ai/beta

Of course, that’s your contention. You’re a first-year machine-learning engineer. You just got finished readin' Attention Is All You Need, probably watched a Karpathy video too. So now you’re convinced everything is just transformers and scaling laws. That's gonna last until next month when you discover convolution, and then you're gonna be talkin' about inductive biases and locality and how CNNs were actually incredibly compute-efficient for vision. Then you're gonna read the FlashAttention paper, and suddenly everything's about IO complexity and SRAM and how FLOPs don't matter because the whole goddamn thing is memory-bandwidth bound. That'll last until somebody shows you an MoE model, and then you're gonna be in here regurgitating DeepSeek, talkin' about expert parallelism and active parameters and how dense models are economically obsolete. Then six months from now you'll write one shitty Triton kernel, look at an Nsight trace for the first time, and start telling everybody Python isn't actually the bottleneck because the GPU is asynchronous. And by next year you're gonna be standing right here explaining to me that your 400-billion-parameter model is fast because you turned on CUDA graphs.
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

omp and tern are so goated people think it's astroturf. grassroots baby, this isn't instinct. we shill for free
Replying to @0xIlyy
Are you all getting paid by any chance? I am one of the users of Tern; it is great, but what is this constant hype around it? My timeline is filled with Tern hype, it is kind of annoying.

today we're releasing apex-flash-1, our first open-weights model for security research post-trained on real vulnerabilities we found and got paid for. we are also releasing the abliterated variant for researchers who want fewer refusals in their own authorized workflows. how we built it: cantina.security/apex-flash

Introducing Phonon-2: a new standard in speech recognition per byte. At just a tiny 164MB download, it is more accurate on average than OpenAI's Whisper large ( a model 10X its size) Transcribe an hour of audio in just 20 seconds on a MacBook Air! Open weights, CC-BY-4.0, today. @fermion_ai
