GPT-4 was trained on less data than GPT-3
and still outperformed
intelligence isn't dataset size—it's compression ratio
you don't need to read more
you need to extract principles from what you already know
most people collect information
high performers compress it into systems

MMLU passed.
HellaSwag passed.
perplexity dropped 2 points.
nobody ran a reasoning eval.
this is how compressed models ship with clean scores and broken thinking.

compressed models feel off before you can prove they're off.
your instinct is right.
the metric is lying.
perplexity measures fluency, not capability.
we're compressing with the wrong ruler.
a test can only check what you imagined.
bugs come from what you didn't.
that's the whole testing problem.

"Move fast and break things" hitting a little too close to home this time. 💀
amazon mandated their own AI coding tool for 80% of dev work.
1,500 engineers signed a petition asking for claude code instead.
then amazon lost 6.3M orders in one day.
they're still enforcing the mandate.
what could go wrong.

NLP has a blind spot.
"yaar aaj standup bahut rough tha, manager ne basically roast kar diya lmao"
Humans instantly get it. Many language systems don't.
Why?
Because they're trying to classify it as one lang when it's actually multiple.
Code-switching isn't noise. It's lang.

How to Stay Updated in Tech without Getting Overwhelmed. Step 5 is necessary:
I Don't Try to Follow Everything
1. GitHub Trending
I look for:
- real-world projects
- useful tools
- patterns across repos
- this shows what's actually being used
2. Hacker News
I focus on:
- engineering decisions
- system design discussions
- lessons from failures
- the comments are where the real learning is
3. Product Hunt
I check for:
- practical use cases
- tools solving real problems
- ideas gaining traction
- helps me see where things are going
4. A Few Good Sources (Not Many)
Instead of consuming everything
I prefer:
- 1-2 quality newsletters
- detailed blogs
- real case studies
Learn From People Who Build
I follow developers who share:
- real projects
- real decisions
- real experiences
- seeing how things are built teaches more than just consuming
5. Follow this account for valuable content.

been overthinking this startup for wayyy too long ngl
finalizing the landing page today. no more "one more tweak".
what i'm building: mixingo.
translation for the way people actually text. not formal english. not formal hindi. not formal anything. the real chaotic in-between.
