Power users are already running GenAI LLM models locally on their workstations. In 2024 we will see much more of this. AI is coming to your new PC! 🧠🤖 dell.com/en-us/blog/how…

As I finish my run at @tech_mahindra, I feel proud to share that the #GenerativeAI project challenge I took up earlier has been successfully accomplished by our brilliant research team at Makers Lab. We launched #ProjectIndus in beta testing phase within TechM. The pure Hindi LLM consists of 539 million parameters and 10 billion Hindi+ dialect tokens. The model is probably only one in the world which has all Hindi tokens and has been trained grounds up. It will set the stage for the years to come as our prowess in deep tech. I now pass the baton over to @mohitjoshi74, @nickmalhotra and team, and my talented #TechMighties, who will take this one notch higher. Thank you for everything, team! #TechMahindraOnwardAndUpwards

Focus on what you can control. Build something, anything. A product, yourself, a family, your community, a team, a company or organization, relationships. Or help someone else do it. Don't complain or be a victim, ever. #PlayNiceButWin

The iPhone camera uses computational photography, applying software to every snap. This wild photo is an eery example: the subject tries on a wedding dress and each mirror shows her in a different pose. Why? Apple insider says it’s a “mistake” in the computational photography pipeline: ➡️ “The iPhone camera doesn’t realize it was taking a photo of a mirror, so it treated the three versions of [UK actress Tessa Coates] as different people. Coates was moving when the photo was taken, so when the shutter was pressed, many differing images were captured in that instant. Apple's algorithm stitches the photos together, choosing the best versions for saturation, contrast, detail, and lack of blur.” ⬅️

@HSKurup Looking good Hari 😊

About sport, and us. In July 2022, after Virat got his 12th ODI century, Shiju Balandan predicted on FB that his idol would get to 50. He kept updating on his post till Virat's 33rd. And then Shiju left us. His friends continued the count. And yesterday, Shiju got there!

Dear Friends from Pakistan, This Tweet doesn't reflect the sentiments of majority of Indians. We appreciate good cricket & remain critical of these derisive remarks that attempts to demean the majesty of the game. Pakistan & India has both produced great cricketers.

Came across this Reddit thread discussing why someone got rejected from 16 colleges despite having a 3.97 GPA and starting his own company in high school. Something about this highlighted comment made me want to share this. Why should kids have to do performance theater to check all the boxes to become a "well-rounded" applicant when success in the real world often comes down to excelling in 1-2 key areas? We should encourage kids to follow their curiosity instead of trying to check all the boxes.
