i think i made a mistake asking what haskell is








There is another myth spread by some people: That giving Arghya to the Sun in the morning is not good for you if Sun is in Libra/ Tula Rashi or y or z position. Unfortunately a lot of people believe it even if it is the farthest thing from the truth. I happen to know scores of doctors with that placement (Sidereal (Hindu Jyotish) with Sun in Libra will include a whole lot of so called ‘Scorpio Sun Signs’ from the Western astrology point of view, a significant portion of which happen to be doctors and over the years, one of my main remedial measures for people who deal with stress of medicine practice used to be giving Arghya to Sun and Surya astottara… it helped in most cases who followed instructions). Now coming to the crux of the issue: Homa of course is like producing a mini Surya in front of you which has the characteristics of the Surya in the sky of Hiranyagrabha dristi while losing its Taapana dristi.. (in words of Dr Svoboda, doing homa WILL increase the cultivation of Prana far far more than the cultivation of Prana which is brought by Yoga- I am quoting almost verbatim from one of his books on Ayurveda for this one- my only caveat is that homa should ideally be done outside the house even if it’s drizzling or snowing if done daily, if doing once a week then you might be ok doing it inside the house, but ideally to get that Hiranyagarba rays, it should be done outside the house- to prevent any other practical problems, one can either dig a fire pit, or surround the homa kunda with bricks two tiers). 👇🏻 mmpandit.wordpress.com/2021/07/12/hom…



Update on my previous post: I ordered a ₹3 Lakh RTX 5090 on @AmazonIN and got a 1.56kg packet of detergent. Amazon promised a refund to kill the social media buzz, but they're just stalling. Now, I've uncovered a massive internal FBA fraud ring. Thread @AmazonHelp @AmitAgarwal














Day 82/365 of GPU Programming Taking a closer look at Mixture of Experts today, so I can write better MoE kernels. Specifically, to optimize an MXFP4 MoE fused kernel for the GPU Mode challenge. I haven't had much prior exposure to MoEs, so lots of new concepts I learned today. Luckily I found the best intro to MoEs thanks to @MaartenGr visual overview of the topic. I then watched @tatsu_hashimoto's amazing Stanford CS336 lecture on MoEs, which added deeper context around why MoEs are gaining popularity, FLOPs, OLMoE, infra complexity, routing functions (mindblown this works so well...), expert sizes, training objectives, top k routing and DeepSeek variations. Once I had a basic understanding I started playing around with the some AITER kernels but progress there is tbd. Also had a nice chat with @juscallmevyom (who was kind enough to reach out!) about the AMD kernels and the challenge of materialization overhead.
