Coders in 2030 be like:

You know how “computer” used to denote a person who did a lot of repetitive computations all day long, but then electronic computers came along and that’s exclusively how the term is used these days? Yeah, that’s what’s gonna happen to the term “researcher” soon.

"I'm at my limit" emotional or claude?

Every time PC writes "raise questions about how broadly applicable and reliable the proposed approach will be in practice" for a paper, it will without doubt be a high-impact paper. Yolo/Dropout/Knowledge Distillation/PageRank/... It's the inverse-Cramer rule for academia.

If you suspect that there is fuel shortage, you must use less, not fill more by queuing up. Stop taking out your vehicle. Wake up early and take the bus/metro to work.

I counted 50 white board cars on my commute today (stopped with 50). 42 are SUVs, and 2 of the 8 non-SUVs are Mini Coopers. Maybe it’s just the nature of the layout, or BLR is becoming the SUV capital. Even though I didn’t note it, majority of SUVs, including mine, had 1 person.

@im_mansigupta @danish037 @RayDalio Anyway we can discuss it offline. Have a good week ahead.

@im_mansigupta @danish037 @RayDalio I agree with everything except reduced R&D budget. But holding someone else accountable is ok. My question what should you, Danish or I do in our work/life about it?

In Changing World Order, @RayDalio describes consistent preconditions necessary for countries/kingdoms to rise: capable leadership, strong education, strong character, civility… … all of these are conspicuously missing from India. Never been this dejected about our country’s prospects.

@KunalKSahoo She is 4. In this case my problem was: does a circle have 0 or infinite edges?

@deepakns How old is she? I remember my dad giving me some directions to think of on my own when I used to ask typical questions in my childhood.

Ok. I am so cooked. My daughter asked us, "Why doesn't a circle have edges?"

AI agents seem to be killing the ability to do cold outreach. Look at it from my perspective — someone who gets dozens of unsolicited invitations/requests in my email from strangers every day. In the past there used to be a sharp distinction between unpersonalized mass emails and those that were meant specifically for me. My spam filter could mostly automate this classification, and it even when it didn't, it would take me only a few seconds to tell if an email was worth reading/responding to. Now the distinction is gone because it is trivial to use AI to send out mass emails that appear deeply knowledgeable about each recipient's work and expertise. I guess we have to go back to the bad old days of needing to be "introduced" to someone before communicating with them.

@miniapeur Oh ACs were anyway amplifying the most negative review OR going with the average score. Was already a threshold based classifier

The loop is almost complete: you generate a paper using AI, you receive reviews generated by AI, and now you write your rebuttal using AI. The only thing missing is to replace the ACs with chatbots.

Some in the community made A* as the JEE/Gaokao for grants/promotions/jobs/opportunities. So it is less about communication of science/engineering and more about signaling the exclusive status. Such systems will be gamed.

Dhurandam means disaster in Malayalam. My brain is unable to process Durandhar as a positive word. You know what I mean….

peak male date night is a 3 am alone with Claude Code with fresh rate limits and no intention of building anything serious.

India collects 22% of its revenue from Income Tax, another 22% from GST and maybe 20% from Corporate Tax. 30% is borrowed money, to be paid by future tax payers, not current tax payers. #JustSaying
