@join2manish @simplykashif nah compute gets cheaper over time.. just imagine 10-15 years down the lane
English

@simplykashif we are being way to pessimistic, it will be very expensive to deploy AI for everything
English

meet @pewdiepie
brohhh first conquered YouTube. (110 million subscribers)
Then he disappeared.
Now he's back…
Building self-hosted AI software with 73k+ GitHub stars.
No one ever thought that PewDiePie would become an open-source founder.

Lie 1: “30 LPA, 40 LPA, 50 LPA packages are not for freshers.”
Lie 2: “You need to solve 1000 DSA questions to get shortlisted in PBC.”
Lie 3: “I need more development experience first.”
Lie 4: “FAANG doesn’t hire from tier 2 or tier 3 colleges.”
Lie 5: “AI will do everything, so I don't need strong fundamentals.”
Let’s continue….

@codevsdev Can you suggest a side project that generates passive income while I’m asleep?

Actually this video has a cropped angle, if you see there is a person sitting on the side interpreting english to hindi. He is on the right side of Modi and you can hear him translating

Trump on PM Modi: “He's the most beautiful looking man. He looks so nice. He's like an angel. But actually he's tough, he's a killer...But he looks so good, so he gets you by surprise.”

@SirDigALot @BulwarkOnline It’s unfortunate that you misunderstand the difference between insulting and appreciating using metaphors and taking them literally
English

@BulwarkOnline Patronizing and insulting him at the same time, but Modi is laughing not because he's shameless, it's because he didn't know what had just happened

btw, enrollments are open for both of my cohorts :)

How do agents use browsers, and how are thousands of them served over the cloud in a memory-efficient way? I was reading through Browser Use's blog and found their answer. It starts with running a VM inside a VM.
Browser Use runs Firecracker VMs on regular EC2 instances, where AWS has already placed your server inside its own VM. Yeah, that is a lot of virtualization. The normal way to run Firecracker is on a bare-metal server, where you rent the entire physical machine. But running it on regular EC2 is cheaper and easier to set up.
So every browser session becomes a VM inside a VM. The downside is that any request from the inner browser VM now has to pass through two layers to reach the host, not one, and that extra hop costs time.
The place this shows up most is memory.
A browser VM does not start fresh each time; it wakes up from a snapshot that was paused right before Chromium opens. The first time it touches a piece of memory after waking up, the host has to load that memory back in. This is a classic page fault.
With two layers, each page fault has to cross both of them, so it costs more, and a browser waking up touches a lot of memory at once.
Early on, page faults made up 72% of all the pauses the VM had to take to communicate with the host. So the fix they applied was simple: instead of loading memory in small 4 KB chunks, the VM now loads it in 2 MB chunks, 512 times larger (similar to transparent huge pages).
Larger chunks mean fewer page faults, and fewer page faults mean fewer expensive trips across the two layers. This one change brought the wake-up time down from 9.8 seconds to 3.1 seconds.
Classic CS is always super interesting and evergreen. Hope you also found this interesting.

@northstardev09 @striver_79 Should I buy Tuf+ now or will it become more expensive after Zenkai launches?
English

Hey @striver_79 will your new project Zenkai will available for Tuf+ lifetime users or they also have to buy it as others.
English

@siya_twt_ It depends entirely on the situation. If I’m confident and know the direction, and it doesn’t require much mental effort, I prefer music. However, if it’s urgent and requires me to work on very important stuff, I prefer complete silence.
English

@PARSMNISH @aditiitwt Exactly.. ppl do all kinds of things for views
English


@karmakarthik I’ll dm can you please tell me as I’m also on a similar path
English

Outcome:
The next day, I was offered the role.
As the base salary vs ESOPs split was not as per my expectation, unfortunately I had to reject the offer.
It was great interviewing for this startup.
Founders had a great energy (just for context they were UC Berkley, IIT Bombay grads, not to forget the ML guy- a literal engineering beast).
Currently I am exploring other opportunities and yeps, trying to figure out the answer for the MultiModel question that I was asked😄.
(6/6)

English

Just a small update.
I recently interviewed for an AI Engineer role at a good startup (40.5 L CTC).
Founder reached out to me on Twitter.
Had a small meet with the co-founder, understood what their product does and really liked their vision.
Technical Interview got scheduled the next day: (1/6)
