Here's my theory, the whole Chinese spy thing is a diversion and never the point, the goal was never to steal Nvidia secrets (Nvidia is already doing backdoor deals with China, Gamers Nexus dug into this a year ago). The goal was actually to comprise Jensen with an affair so someone could oust him from the company. Why is a question to still be asked.
never thought i'd see jensen leave nvidia like this.
regardless of the circumstances, his impact on the tech industry is undeniable. hope for the best.

Brute force computation is not enough for intelligence. Clever new methods are needed. The science of AI is far from finished. IMHO

If you live in India, you should be skeptical of anyone who is poor. Almost all poverty in this country is self inflicted or imposed.
Because our entire system encourages you to be poor by choice of comfort.
If you are middle class there is a good chance you don't have an EWS, Ration Card and pay big in IT.
Poor folks have none of that nonsense. They get a bunch of freebies, a lot of money come election time, enough sympathy notes and a lot of tax savings.
Heck ration shop food is almost free, and even if its not the best quality you can always sell ration shop food for cheap and make a profit.
With all of this comfort what economic growth drivers do poor people have?
Most of these folk are highly emotionally driven, do not understand the concept of long term bets, have horrible living habits (beating family members, drinking, smoking, gambling etc) which are encouraged by our media and social norms.
And nobody is taking an active effort in educating them or giving them the required exposure. Thus continuing the long cycle of exploitation of the poor.
If someone is truly well mannered and has been wronged by society, and is thus poor. You will see them try their hardest to climb up the ladder (and I know plenty of folks like that)
But sadly due to cheap internet and bad influences, a majority of these people will never rise out of the lives they live.
We are a society of self pittying, self loathing and self hating people. And thus we continue to encourage poor people to be poor so we always have access to cheap and unskilled labor.
It is a very dark and twisted society we live in. Hate poor people for not wanting to uplift their lives.
And hate the social frameworks that enable this too!
every motherfucker told me that i couldn't rhyme, now i could let these dream killers kill my self esteem or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams.

based alex karp!
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says the AI labs want you to buy into a future where you:
"Have no job, adversaries win, and everybody who does win is a small, tiny group of people living in a tiny place that believe because they eat vegetables and don't support war fighters, they deserve to have the total means of production of this country鈥攁nd the rest of us should just sit back and absorb the cost of that revolution, which we're paying for."

aight, fuck it, my turn for this kind of post
i'm looking for work.
i'm 21 and i've spent a rather unreasonable amount of time building software over the past year.
here's some of what i've been up to:
kiban: built an embedded LSM storage engine from scratch in rust. WAL, SSTables, compaction, snapshots, concurrency, crash recovery and fault injection.
the benchmarks are probably my favourite part. on warm 1M-record workloads, i got 0.96碌s median point reads and over 1M point-read calls/s, with 2.2-2.7x faster point reads than tuned RocksDB. group commit pushed fully durable writes to 5,379/s at 16 writers, a 7.5x improvement. also managed to shrink the point index by 61%.
styx: a ~41k LOC bittorrent client in rust with 600+ tests. implemented peer-wire networking, verified downloading/seeding, trackers, DHT, magnet metadata exchange, daemon IPC, CLI/TUI and a desktop shell.
kurogane: implemented Raft consensus from scratch in rust. elections, log replication, snapshots, crash recovery, joint consensus, real gRPC networking and a deterministic fault-injecting simulator with linearizability verification.
konto: built a double-entry accounting engine with PostgreSQL and typescript. atomic transactions, holds, transfers, idempotency and enforced financial invariants. includes stress testing with 1,000 concurrent transfer/hold operations.
iris: built a GPU-accelerated image viewer for linux using rust, Vulkan, GTK4 and DMA-BUF. RAW decoding, ICC colour management, GPU rendering, Wayland presentation and software fallbacks.
webnotes: built a local-first notes app with a native Tauri desktop client, SQLite storage, bidirectional linking, a structured editor and web synchronization.
scribe: built an open-source publishing SDK for React, Next.js and Vite. handles Markdown/MDX compilation, typography, components, styling and local authoring. currently in public beta.
and then there's my open source work.
i've had PRs merged into HelixDB, Turso, Apache DataFusion, Zed, NativeLink, Zilliz Knowhere and Nix, covering everything from database internals and query execution to infrastructure, editor behaviour and correctness fixes.
i've also got contributions underway in RocksDB, Neon, HydraDB, FalkorDB and Starship, among others.
most of my work revolves around rust, typescript, databases, storage, networking and systems engineering. i've also been getting deeper into ML infrastructure and inference.
i'm looking for a full-time remote engineering role. internships and contracts are on the table too.
my github has all the code, benchmarks and documentation:
github.com/aetosdios27
if you're hiring or know someone who is, hit me up.
reposts appreciated :)
