@system_monarch Ai slops

I'm a Principal with 12 years of experience. If I was coaching you to crack system design rounds for Sr to Staff+ AI/ML roles at companies like Meta, Google, Salesforce, Amazon, etc. I would 100% ask you to work on these fundamentals before we would start talking about interviews. Because AI system design is still system design. The only difference is that now your bottlenecks are not just databases, caches, and queues. They are tokens, context windows, retrieval quality, inference cost, hallucinations, model latency, evals, and user trust. Here are the fundamentals I would start with: ➤ LLM Basics ↬ Tokens ↬ Context Window ↬ Prompt Design ↬ System Prompts ↬ Temperature ↬ Top-p Sampling ↬ Structured Outputs ↬ JSON Mode ↬ Function Calling ↬ Tool Calling ↬ Agents ↬ Memory ↬ Guardrails ↬ Hallucinations ↬ Model Latency ↬ Model Routing ↬ Small vs Large Models ↬ Fine-tuning vs Prompting ↬ Open-source vs Closed Models ➤ RAG & Retrieval ↬ Embeddings ↬ Vector Search ↬ Vector Databases ↬ Chunking ↬ Chunk Overlap ↬ Metadata Filtering ↬ Hybrid Search ↬ Keyword Search ↬ Semantic Search ↬ Reranking ↬ Retrieval Recall ↬ Retrieval Precision ↬ Query Rewriting ↬ Document Freshness ↬ Permission-aware Retrieval ↬ Citation Grounding ↬ Evidence Selection ↬ Context Packing ↬ Missing Information Detection ➤ AI System Architecture ↬ API Gateway ↬ Request Routing ↬ Model Gateway ↬ Prompt Service ↬ Inference Service ↬ Retrieval Service ↬ Ranking Service ↬ Feature Store ↬ Offline Pipelines ↬ Online Serving ↬ Async Processing ↬ Queueing ↬ Streaming Responses ↬ Rate Limiting ↬ Fan-out/Fan-in ↬ Batch Inference ↬ Real-time Inference ↬ Human-in-the-loop Systems ↬ Fallback Workflows ➤ Cost & Performance ↬ Token Budgeting ↬ Prompt Compression ↬ Prompt Caching ↬ Semantic Caching ↬ Response Caching ↬ Batch Requests ↬ Model Quantization ↬ Distillation ↬ Latency Budgets ↬ Cold Starts ↬ GPU Utilization ↬ Throughput ↬ Cost per Query ↬ Cost per User ↬ Model Selection ↬ Inference Scaling ↬ Backpressure ↬ Load Shedding ➤ Evaluation & Quality ↬ Offline Evals ↬ Online Evals ↬ Golden Dataset ↬ Human Review ↬ LLM-as-Judge ↬ A/B Testing ↬ Regression Testing ↬ Answer Relevance ↬ Factual Accuracy ↬ Faithfulness ↬ Groundedness ↬ Toxicity Checks ↬ Safety Checks ↬ Drift Detection ↬ Feedback Loops ↬ Confidence Scoring ↬ Escalation Criteria ↬ Quality Monitoring ➤ Reliability & Security ↬ Timeouts ↬ Retries ↬ Circuit Breakers ↬ Failover ↬ Model Fallbacks ↬ Graceful Degradation ↬ Observability ↬ Tracing ↬ Prompt Logs ↬ Token Metrics ↬ Error Budgets ↬ PII Redaction ↬ Data Privacy ↬ Access Control ↬ Prompt Injection ↬ Jailbreak Defense ↬ Audit Logs ↬ Compliance

@the_within4602 @dasyu_zoomer 10k vs germanys 75k, 7.5 times.

@dasyu_zoomer Atleast take into account PPP numbers to reflect the purchasing power. Germany is $62k, India is $12k. 5 times - sure. Since 2020, Petrol almost 0% increase in India, 54% increase for Germany.

Per capita of Germany - 62 lakh Per capita of India - 2.7 Lakh Germany is 23 times richer than India How can you even compare 😭😭

Missing part is Rogers replacing fulltime with contractors, nothing to do with AI, calm down all.

@TechLayoffLover AI slop , those who worked with offshore devs know the reality .

Your L7 friend who pulled $380K total comp just texted you from his Tesla in the parking garage "Bro they walked me and 47 other seniors out this morning. Badge deactivated. Escorted by security." "New directive from the C-suite: every team that was 8 engineers is now 2 engineers plus unlimited Claude Enterprise API credits" His replacement? A 26-year-old offshore contractor making $28K who runs everything through Cursor and ships code faster than his entire former team The math that every CFO just did: $380K senior engineer in San Francisco = $28K contractor in Bangalore + $15K annual AI tooling + $8K infrastructure Total savings per head: $329K annually His team was burning $3.1 million in engineering salaries New team burns $410K total with better velocity metrics The offshore contractor doesn't need health insurance, equity, or a $4,000 Herman Miller chair Doesn't need mentorship or career development or performance reviews Just needs Slack access and an OpenAI API key Your friend built the entire authentication system. Led the migration to microservices. Mentored 12 junior engineers over 6 years. His replacement has been coding for 18 months and copy-pastes everything from Claude Same output. 90% cost reduction. Every engineering manager just got that spreadsheet Every CFO just had that realization The offshore arbitrage just went nuclear because AI made experience optional American tech workers are about to learn what Detroit autoworkers learned in the 80s Except this time the factories are moving at the speed of light

With all due respect, just a month or two back Galgotia happened !! A stolen robot from China was presented as innovation in world AI summit , its a cope.

@nk_sampath68 @Mahesh10816 eco system was different, it was congress's system. You will be given your democracy . They stand no chance once out of power

@Mahesh10816 BJP will stare at existential crisis. Which substance are you on? When they got 2 seats they didn't have existential crisis and now even if they lose they won't. They'll work hard. For some reasons they had to do what they did. It's not the end. If Congress, we won't exist.

If BJP loses 2029, Cong will not only destroy the entire BJP ecosystem but will ensure that BJP cannot come to power for the next 25 years. A mere 0. 8 % vote share drop cost 64 MPs in 2024, and imagine even if 25% of GCs vote against BJP? It's done and dusted BJP will be starring at an existential cricis in 2029. At this appeasement spree GCs are not going to spare BJP

@KyleMcDona9hfn @IndianTechGuide lol, not any more ,now 95% visa rejections are happenning.

@IndianTechGuide Canada

🚨 Despite global hesitation, there is one western country that is openly welcoming Indian students now a days. Guess it.

@Route2FI AI infra

What other interests than crypto have you picked up during this bear market? I've been reading more fiction books than I usually do, started working out more, and gotten back in touch with friends. I miss the bull market, but in a way, it feels good to just live a "semi-normal" life again.

@pg_417w @igetredpilled Unfollowed for this dumb post 🤣🤣

@igetredpilled Wait for < $4k to buy gold again. Reasonably below 4k too

Sold my $AMZN into this strength to free up more cash for gold and silver.

@Nole2death @Amy_Siskind Ok , dismantle all bases and get your a$$ out

@Amy_Siskind Hate to tell you this, but they were NEVER allies.

Trump has now lifted sanctions on: * Russia * Iran * Belarus Three of the most villainous autocracies. But we hate all our former allies 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exception : Gold, s&p 500 etf and index etfs !!

@Kabir_Isakhel @midascabal How are they arriving with most airlines cancelling flights ?

@midascabal Everyone loves declaring Dubai “finished'. Strange how the capital, talent and investors keep arriving anyway and it wont stop in the future

Dubai and the UAE are cooked. It will be nearly impossible for the UAE to sell a rich lifestyle to expats + investors now.

@Jvnior @grok is this video true or fake

Israel is getting ABSOLUTELY F*CKED by Iran.

@travellingvatty @Mikeggibbs Not a canadian legend when he licks enemy boots

@Mikeggibbs Gretzky is a hockey hero and Canadian legend. You suffer from TDS. The elbows up crowd is so predictable.

Dear World: Reasonable thoughtful Canadians are ashamed of Wayne Gretzky today. He does not speak for us. AND he is not our biggest icon nor our biggest, proudest success. 👇 He's lived in the United States the vast majority of his life. He's friends with our enemy, Donald Trump. So please stop calling him things like Canada's greatest or Canadian icon. That title belongs more properly with others. Sincerely, Most Canadians

Absolute fake, who is gonna listen anyway !!

Yet so many of them choose to live here !!!

I am sure he knows better than all the trolls posting AI fear porn all day.

No real post in this app other than AI fear porn by vibe coders . Depressing !!

@dronefishing1 @MadelnCanada Yet a soft power display.

@MadelnCanada It’s symbolic. Trump will veto it

#BREAKING: The US House has just voted to TERMINATE President Trump’s tariff’s on Canada, 219-211 🇨🇦🇺🇸

@kylegriffin1 Mostly symbolic but stll a soft power display from canada.

Reuters: U.S. HOUSE BACKS RESOLUTION THAT WOULD END TRUMP'S CANADA TARIFFS BY 219 TO 211
