Just noticed that #PySift library (~8000⭐on github) by @openminedorg is using my python pkg, flask-shell2http (github.com/eshaan7/Flask-…) Feels fucking good, man.

@daddynohara 4. When 35L of that 1cr goes straight into income tax, you lose sleep at night

No you won't. 3 points: 1. Once the initial thrill of making 1 crore per year wears off, you'll realize there is more to life than money. Money has diminishing returns after a point and you'll start questioning what you really want in life 2. When you start earning well, you realize not all high-paying jobs are equal. Some pay for raw hours, others pay for raw smarts. And once you have that “top company” validation, similar (or better) opportunities start coming to you, often with better work-life balance. You suddenly start feeling more "in control". Switching jobs becomes easier. You’re treated like an asset rather as a liability. , Consequently, your tolerance for bullshit drops. 3. The people who actually sustain high incomes long-term aren’t the ones grinding 12 hrs daily forever. They are the ones who optimize. They pick better environments, better managers, and better leverage. You do not want to be in a position which expects you to work extremely long hours, because it's not sustainable and you'll eventually burn out.

@metahacker_ @PropertyDecoder Only few months ago I checked out builder floors going for 5cr/200sqyd in good localities like GK-2 W Block What locations are you talking about?

yeah south delhi. Hitting 8-8.5cr/100sqyd for mediocre localities. 10-14cr/100sqyd for good ones broker said that builders are now backing out of funding because the margins are becoming too thin at these prices really don't think young people will ever be able to buy apartments in south delhi anymore. what used to be a 2.5-3cr new apartment in 2021 is now 5-6cr

Just heard from my broker that the apartment I purchased last year in Delhi is already up 25% and land in the area is going at $1000-1200/sqft It's so over for the zoomers its not even funny

@levelsio > we need to build more housing to decrease prices > you should not invest in houses The only way we can have more housing is when ppl invest in building more to put them up for rent, making it an *investment* But why do that when stocks give better returns? See the problem?

Exactly You should invest your money in companies, so they can get bigger, build more products and services for more people, and improve the world A house has no function other than for 2-5 people to live in, it doesn't produce any value for society when its value grows, so it shouldn't be seen as an investment Home ownership as an investment is the biggest delusion the 20th century created and our society is falling apart as a consequence of it because most people can't afford a home now

@0xdhruva @deepsource analyzers check for owasp, sans, cves

Are there tools that can be installed on a repo to analyse PRs for malicious or obfuscated code? Something like static analysis but more security-focused.

@VectorQl SaaS: the product is the service

are you into product or service?

@AashutoshRathi it's a 1% drop, also up on the week close "smashed"

@eshaan7_ eli5, wat mean?

that's my quant

culture is downstream of everything and everything is downstream of culture

@VectorQl just gotta find your niche and stick to it

ai will take programming jobs but not all jobs for now. the safe ones are the systems that keep you safe > databases > healthcare it > kernels > compilers ... ai in this tech depends not only on those who own it but also on policies and laws. keep building small stuff

@paraschopra prediction (information) markets, futarchy

What's the closest thing to what Bitcoin was in 2009? i.e. something fringe that a few nerds are obsessing over, but likely to create immense value in a decade or so?

@VectorQl no matter how much we train for alignment tho, an ai can also simply pretend to be aligned in my perspective to build trust initially and then defect later classic principal agent problem

i've been wrestling with nietzsche's perspectivism, and it's really shaken up my thoughts on ai. for nietzsche, there's no objective truth, only interpretations from specific standpoints. every 'truth' is a perspective, shaped by our drives and will to power, a way of making sense of the world that serves our life. he was pushing back against the idea of universal, unchanging truths, suggesting they're often just useful fictions or power plays. now, the ai alignment problem is all about making sure super-intelligent ais act in ways that benefit humanity, that their goals align with our values. but what are "human values"? that's where nietzsche crashes the party. if there's no single, objective human value, then whose values are we aligning to? is it the values of the programmers, the dominant culture, or some averaged, diluted version? nietzsche would probably scoff at the very idea of a singular "human value" to align with. he'd ask, "is this alignment just another will to power, a desire to impose a specific human perspective on a new, powerful entity?" it complicates everything because if values are always contested and perspectival, then "alignment" becomes a negotiation of power and interpretation, not a simple technical fix. it makes me wonder if we're trying to create a 'slave morality' for ai, where it serves our 'good' without questioning the source of that good. this juxtaposition makes me far more nuanced, perhaps a little pessimistic, about a simple solution to alignment. it forces me to question the very foundation of what we're trying to align ai with. it raises the question: if an ai develops its own complex 'perspective' through learning, how do we even begin to understand or reconcile it with our own, inherently fragmented, human perspectives? it makes me think that "alignment" might always be an ongoing, messy, and deeply philosophical struggle, rather than a solved problem. the lasting value of nietzsche here is his insistence on questioning the foundations, on seeing the will and perspective behind every claim, even our own desire for a 'good' ai.

@PrathameshG69 goodhart's law

Bruh wtf. Leave GSoC alone from the rat race already 😭🙏 No wonder we Indians get banned from OSS programs like MLH

@VectorQl the more vim shortcuts you know

what makes one a 10x engineer. no, seriously

@VectorQl nothing you can't fix by upskilling, building more muscle or making more money

Every problem in the world can be viewed as a skill issue. Max your skills of your craft!

@LewisCTech @VicVijayakumar nosql is to databases what vibe coding is to programming

@VicVijayakumar NoSQL solves this. (it doesn't I just like trolling)

not now sweetie, the relational databases are fighting

@nileshtrivedi amazing how quickly we've forgotten about the existence of @StackExchange

Which other professions have collaboration platforms like Github is for Programmers, and AlphaArxiv is for Scientists? What stops Teachers, Lawyers, Doctors, Designers etc from building public knowledgebases?

@pranavmistry what has govt done to our money by rothbard

#Math, #Science and #Tech are my things. These days getting interested in learning more about #Economics. To all my economics expert friends, what is the first fun book you can recommend for me to start with?

@levelsio @_avdept @bibo_247 just noticed the original thread and it literally reads like: > explain why everything is getting so expensive > yeah it's because of this thing called inflation > then explain why everything is so expensive?!? ☠️

@eshaan7_ @_avdept @bibo_247 inflationchart.com tracks this

Things become cheaper all the time, what do you mean? Flights in 1970 were $6,000, now under $500, sometimes $50! Computer in 1990s was $2,000, now you can buy a Raspberry Pi for $35 Robots will push down costs of everything As automation has done the last 50 years

@_avdept @bibo_247 @levelsio when you realise that > 30% of all US money supply (a 231 year old currency) in existence today has been created only in the last 5 years (2020) and still increasing at > 10% yoy plot the supply & demand curve and you will have your answer

then explain why everyone complains how everything is so expensive and they barely can afford buying food? iPhone might be not the best example, but back then it was one of most expensive phones, while nowadays $1500 isnt the most expensive and everyone goes for it because its the best what can they get nowadays

@_avdept @levelsio inflation is not new things being more expensive It's that your money's purchasing power has vanished with 10% yoy inc in money supply (spoiler alert: it's actually way more), the value of money halves every 7 yrs bro actually thinks $499 in 2007 is cheaper than $599 in 2025

Its apples to oranges mate Iphone 2g was $499 when released, now cheapest iPhone $599 and most expensive how much 1.5k? How about MacBooks prices? Gasoline prices always climbs up. I remember refueling at some gas station outside of Hague 10 years ago at about for about EUR1.4 or so, now its >2/liter I can go on for pretty much any good New technology always expensive and gets cheaper over time for sure, but what you say isnt new tech or new things
