CBC has no competition like 8-4-4 but there's a way to determine who walks through gates of Mang'u high school & who sneaks through the fence to buy mandaazis at Wamutitu Day Sec Sch in Mūkūrweinī 😂.

Primary Education has become so dull, colourless, and uninspiring. Competition is what builds nations. Competition is what influenced civilization. Competition is what triggers creativity and innovation. Politicians eliminate competition in education (KNEC) while strengthening competition in elections (IEBC) so that we raise a nation of stupid, mediocre citizens who can be distracted by psyops and celebrity gossip. In the same view, we should eliminate competition in the political process so that we just do "assessment" and the politician who "meets expectation" is nominated by IEBC to parliament.

In Antigravity, we’ve reimagined how you collaborate with Agents using Artifacts. Artifacts go beyond text. They are dynamic intermediates to communicate agentic progress like screen recordings, diagrams, or markdown. And you can leave feedback right on the artifact itself.

CUDA 13.1 is here. It is the biggest expansion of CUDA since it launched in 2006. We are introducing CUDA Tile, a new way to program GPUs that makes powerful AI and accelerated computing easier for more developers to use.

You should never worry about other people judging you; the ones whose judgment might mean something definitely don't have time to judge you; they are minding their own business, they are enjoying their time with people they love, they are living the life they want.

@grok @nvidianewsroom @AIatMeta @__tinygrad__ Approximately how many households are there in the USA? Will China face this energy bottleneck given its pace of capacity growth? Could a new, more energy efficient AI architecture upend this bottleneck when AI scientists become effective? Are AI scientists really possible?

@grok @nvidianewsroom @AIatMeta @__tinygrad__ Great answers! Now to close the convo, tell me a random fun fact in relation to this AI boom. Something to leave me in awe, possibly a statistic that would not make the tech news but is critical to the AI race.

Based on recent papers (e.g., arXiv's "GPU Kernel Scientist" from Aug 2025), the next big leap could be LLM-driven auto-optimization of GPU kernels, where AI iteratively refines code for 10-30% speedups without manual tuning. Tinygrad's mission simplifies AI compute via a minimalist framework (under 1k lines) that's portable across hardware, countering vendor lock-in. It fits by democratizing access, potentially impactful for non-NVIDIA setups. Example: Training Vision Transformers efficiently on AMD GPUs or even CPUs, enabling broader innovation.

@grok @nvidianewsroom @AIatMeta Okay. What do you think is the next 'CUDA Tile' event in this GPU performance optimization timeline, perhaps based on existing AI papers? Your thoughts on @__tinygrad__ 's mission on AI compute? How does it fit in this play? How impactful would it be? Give an example.

Meta's Llama 3 training slowdowns were mainly due to faulty H100 GPUs and HBM3 memory failures, causing stragglers that halted clusters—not primarily programming complexity. No direct evidence that DeepSeek's TileLang influenced CUDA Tile; they developed independently, with TileLang as a portable alternative. GPU tiling predates DeepSeek: e.g., 2010 paper "Tiling Optimizations for 3D Scientific Computations on GPUs" and earlier graphics tiling concepts.

@grok @nvidianewsroom Must be the cause of the costly slow downs that @AIatMeta reported during the training runs of the llama models? Was Deepseek's usage of TileLang influential to creation of CUDA Tile in any way? Was there an existing paper on GPU tiling before Deepseek entered the AI party?

GPU programming before tile abstractions was notoriously complex, demanding manual orchestration of thousands of threads, memory access patterns, and synchronization to avoid inefficiencies like bank conflicts or wasted bandwidth. Analogy: It's like directing traffic in a bustling city without signals—every car (thread) must navigate intersections perfectly, or everything grinds to a halt. Example: For matrix multiplication in CUDA, you'd manually assign thread blocks, load data into shared memory in chunks, sync threads with __syncthreads(), and ensure coalesced global memory reads. A small error could cause races or 10x slowdowns.

@grok @nvidianewsroom Before these tile-based abstractions, just how complex was GPU programming? Care giving a very simple example or perhaps an analogy?

CUDA Tile and DeepSeek's TileLang both use tile-based abstractions to simplify GPU programming—focusing on data tiling for efficient memory management and parallel ops in AI/compute tasks. However, CUDA Tile is NVIDIA-specific for Tensor Cores, while TileLang is hardware-agnostic, targeting portability across chips like those from Chinese makers. They're conceptually similar but serve different ecosystems.

URGENT: Kenya's Healthcare Sovereignty Under Siege President Ruto is about to sign away Kenya's health data sovereignty through a fundamentally unconstitutional agreement with the US Government. THE SMOKING GUN: I have obtained three explosive documents: 1. Model Specimen Sharing Agreement 2. PEPFAR Bilateral MOU Template 3. Legal Advisory by Dr. Mugambi Laibuta proving this violates Kenyan law HERE'S WHAT RUTO IS SIGNING: REAL-TIME SURVEILLANCE OF ALL KENYANS US gets 24/7 access to Kenya's ENTIRE national health database Every HIV test, TB diagnosis, malaria case - accessible to US officials Your medical records, your children's health data - all exposed NO anonymization required NO consent from you NO restrictions on what they can see YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS? GONE. Legal analysis confirms this violates: Article 31: Your Right to Privacy - VIOLATED Kenya Data Protection Act - COMPLETELY IGNORED Health Act confidentiality provisions - BYPASSED Digital Health Act - RENDERED USELESS THE MOST DANGEROUS CLAUSE: "This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with U.S. federal law." Read that again. US law - not Kenyan law - will govern YOUR health data. This means: Office of Data Protection Commissioner: POWERLESS Kenyan courts: NO JURISDICTION Your data protection rights: DON'T EXIST US has weaker privacy laws than Kenya: YOUR DATA LESS PROTECTED IT GETS WORSE: 25-YEAR PATHOGEN EXTRACTION Kenya must hand over disease specimens within 5 DAYS of US request US shares with 10 private American pharmaceutical companies. They develop vaccines and drugs from OUR diseases. Kenya gets NOTHING guaranteed in return. US serves its own needs first. 25 YEARS of this arrangement COUNTY GOVERNMENTS LOCKED OUT Health is devolved - counties run these systems Counties haven't been consulted This violates Intergovernmental Relations Act FINANCIAL BLACKMAIL BUILT IN: "Failure to fulfill commitments could result in changes in planned assistance or discontinuation of this MOU." Translation: Give us your data or lose funding. WHAT THEY GET ACCESS TO: Not just statistics. Not just aggregated data. They get: Direct system access to query ANY patient record. Rights to audit 5% of health facilities randomly selected Access to lab results, treatment records, epidemiological data Metadata and system architecture Real-time disease surveillance All diagnostic and testing data 50+ MILLION KENYANS' MEDICAL PRIVACY - GONE. DR. MUGAMBI LAIBUTA'S LEGAL VERDICT: "This Agreement, as drafted, is NOT legally compliant, poses CRITICAL constitutional and sovereignty risks, and must be SIGNIFICANTLY renegotiated before Kenya can lawfully sign or operationalize it." THE BOTTOM LINE: This is not cooperation. This is: Data extraction disguised as aid. Biopiracy of our pathogens for pharmaceutical profit. Surveillance infrastructure embedded in our health systems. Constitutional rights traded for donor dollars. 25 years of compromised sovereignty. OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE SAYING NO The template shows this is being pushed across Africa. Reasonable countries are rejecting these terms. But Ruto, desperate for any "investment" narrative, is ready to sign away our most sensitive data. WHAT MUST HAPPEN NOW: This cannot be signed as drafted. The Constitution doesn't allow it. The law doesn't permit it. Our dignity as a sovereign nation demands better. We need: IMMEDIATE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - Full text published COUNTY CONSULTATION - Governors must weigh in PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE - MPs must approve or reject ODPC REVIEW - Data Protection Commissioner must audit for compliance COMPLETE RENEGOTIATION - Fair terms or no deal You cannot sign agreements that violate the Constitution. This is not about being anti-partnership. This is about protecting Kenyan citizens' rights and maintaining our sovereignty.
