The philosophies around learning between Tagore and Socrates look very different. Tagorean Curiosity is one of wonder and bringing a fresh perspective. Socratic Inquiry is based on doubt - to reveal a deeper truth by questioning I love both.

I don't walk back this, but yes, reading and reviewing every line of code is perhaps less important.

I was never a fan of unc. I always hated clean code and this is rather hypocritical to come from him. He used to fearmonger saying if you don't write clean code, something will fuck up and regulators will get involved and start issuing licenses for SWEs. Not reading code risks exactly that. That means it was always about selling books and very rarely about building an engineering culture that values practicality, durability, reliability and versatility.

This is extremely clever, I am not sure how useful it is, but I can see some utility.

1/4 Meet Qwenputer: Qwen3.5-4B with a full RISC-V CPU inside its weights, using the model's own Gated DeltaNet layers as RAM. It runs C and MicroPython in its forward passes, no external runtime. On DeepMind math: base 55–90%, base + Python tool 95–100%, Qwenputer 97.5–100%.

This is unequivocally, 100% true.

The first problem with AI-generated text detectors is the assumption that 100% AI-generated means zero human thought. A non-technical person and @karpathy could both generate 100% of their code using AI. That doesn’t mean the code they produce reflects the same level of engineering skill. The same applies to writing.

17 yo never listens to us and yet hears everything we say about him, even in a whisper. I think he runs a side process using 2% of his brain listening for his name, and if he hears it, then he actually interprets the phonemes he's been buffering.

If Paras runs the ministry of compute, I can more or less guarantee that effective compute per capita is immense.

India needs a ministry of compute. Like ministry of oil, we need laser-focus from the top to build compute necessary for participating in the future economy. Otherwise, we will repeat in a decade what we’re doing now: spending expensive forex for importing what we don’t have.

Kickstarted Batch 9 of @lossfunk 🚀 residency! We took a short pause but now we are back with a fresh set of curious folks and deep projects. This batch has it all: AI agent swarms, cancer drugs, AI sitcoms, a GTA-style Bangalore, and LLMs served directly from OS. 🧵 with their profiles and goals for the next 6-8 weeks.

Nothing beats hard work. Not even smart work. Privileged people who get lucky and haven't self actualized spread this whole smart work beats hard work rumor. Hard work builds smarts too. You can't become smart by being lazy. – at Bongaigaon, India

Not sure if it's satire or a prophecy.

If your software is human-coded slop, I’m not using it. It’s just too risky. AI can find vulnerabilities in human code faster than humans can find and patch them. I’m done trusting software written by humans. AI-coded only from now on.

Last month, Chinese researchers demonstrated quantum teleportation over 100 simultaneous channels. Who's building a verifier for quantum computations? 🤔

Some techbro wrote that humans will never be as good as LLMs. Bro used to sell coding courses.. My problem is not the claim, but rather a lack of evidence. I too think that LLM aided development is the future, but there's nuance to it. – at Bongaigaon, India

Strategic laziness: waiting on difficult projects because a future AI will be able to one-shot it much before you would have completed the project yourself.
