@samsoniuk From which book is this?

“Predicting the Future by Closely Examining the Past” — a blend of advanced #FPGA technology and poetry! — basically, this is how the Universe works!💥

@akashkrishna @volklub I did TD. Feels wonderful. But with parents, would not be suitable. Will buy as a second one hopefully.

@PranesH_ @volklub Jimny is a great choice. I have similar commute in Bengaluru and use my Jimny for most days. I get about 11kmpl now after 1st service and 15kmpl on the highway.

@volklub , Paaji: New driver. Bangalore Daily Office 30km commute (two way-60km), 90% city ride. Budget: 15-16 Lakh. Initially thought Jimny but dropping it and looking for family car.

@anxiousraman @volklub Sorry, office hatra irakke agalla

@PranesH_ @volklub Instead shift your house near office

@volklub thank you paaji. Will be choosing Automatic because of traffic.

Hi Pranesh ji, having a car with good fuel economy should be a priority, keep budget slightly flexible. In MT, pick Brezza MT In AMT, pick Dzire top AGS In EV, please consider Nexon 45 kWh If fuel efficiency hardly matters then Victoris non hybrid TC Automatic by raising budget slightly.

@divamgupta Hi, are you planning to release int8 tflite version of it?

Introducing Kitten TTS, a SOTA tiny text-to-speech model - Just 15M parameters - Runs without a GPU - Model size less than 25 MB - Multiple high-quality voices - Ultra-fast - even runs on low-end edge devices Github and HF links below

@AirIndiaX Azza , thank you for quick and pleasant service @azzaxie

@mnwsth India largely misses applied research. While top academic institutions appreciates more theoretical research and industry being mostly service oriented or uses technology as a consumer, misses industrial innovation too. Both academia and industry forms an extreme ends.

In India, I have been to academic CS conferences. And I have been to practitioner meetups and conferences. From a core engineering perspective, both are located at two extreme ends of the spectrum. The academic conferences are, well, academic. There are many problems being solved with "spherical cow" type assumptions. Many times, problems being addressed are either too narrow or too irrelevant in 2025. Academics are, many times, in a "we are here to teach them" mode with practitioners, which is not useful for either party. The practitioner gatherings, otoh, are too focussed on implementation details. They are at least one level of abstraction too deep (if not more) to be able to present a higher level, holistic picture to the attendees. There is a lot more focus on presenting tools and workflows than providing insights. The ones that try to provide high level insights are too high level (generally given by managers, not engineers). I believe there is a need for CS gatherings that are located somewhere between these two extremes. Where practitioners with an appreciation of academia, and vice versa, can come together for presenting and discussing solutions to real world problems, or brain storm potential solutions using principled approaches.

@flipkartsupport @Flipkart : No Update on the issue?.

@flipkartsupport I have never seen such a behavior from any customer executive. Hoping that Flipkart will look into this.

@flipkartsupport Customer care spoke complete unruly and he himself forced me to accept it as defective item. I argued it cannot be defective. its a missing component. (3/n)

@flipkartsupport When asked for return, your staff threated to marked it as defective item. I said it should be marked as defective only when the product is not functional. In my case, one of the component is missing. (2/n)

@heyitsyorkie @reach_vb Could you please mention why?

All of this just from a 1.3B param model - amazing time to be alive! ⚡

@casper_hansen_ does awq exported gguf models works with vulkan backend?

@hormndoc Which book of Mahabharata are you following?

Today in the #mahabharata arjuna redeems the curse of the four apsaras. He returns to manipur and gives his son babruvahana to his grandfather - thus fulfilling his promise to chitavaahana - he then proceeds to gokarna asking chitrangada to join him in indraprastha at the time of the rajasuya Three learnings - one from the apsara on what provokes bad conduct We were blinded by our beauty youth and kama रूपेण वयसा चैव कन्दर्पेण च दर्पिताः ⁠। Second is to be careful about the use of hundreds and thousands in the itihasas When a hundred or a hundred thousand is used it implies infinity शतं शतसहस्रं तु सर्वमक्षय्यवाचकम् ⁠। Last the importance of Shiva in the epic and especially to Arjuna and gokarna as an important teertha for millennia It is the first residence of pashuapti - capable of giving moksha to the person who sees it. It removes the fear of sinners who seek refuge there आद्यं पशुपतेः स्थानं दर्शनादेव मुक्तिदम् ⁠। यत्र पापोऽपि मनुजः प्राप्नोत्यभयदं पदम् ⁠।⁠।⁠ ३५ ⁠।⁠।
