Do you use #RustLang, find it interesting and happen to want to meet others who are building in the same space? @IndiaRust is organising the premiere edition of the Rust India conference in Bengaluru 17-18 April @hasgeek @RustTrending @rustconf hasgeek.com/rustbangalore/…

@_Avykt @dp_satish @DKShivakumar And none of this has to built in one go. Start slow, but do it in a planned fashion, not the hap hazard way we have been building Bengaluru's infra.

@_Avykt @dp_satish @DKShivakumar I only want it to be a pinnacle of Indian urban green landscaping. A large lawn, a water feature, probably a stream and a lake, cycling paths but not accessible to motorised vehicles and a million local trees. As for OP, just because it has grass does not make it a green lung.

Karnataka Government says they will make the Racecourse a lung space once the racing is shifted to Kunigal. It’s already a lung space. Racecourse, Golf course etc are lung space. What are they planning to build? A park? #Bengaluru

@sansinum @mionwang @sanjeevs_iitr Plus this is kinda the reality of Indian roads, so there's that 😂

@mionwang @sanjeevs_iitr You have started with the wrong assumption. They are not trying to solve on-road self driving. They are trying to solve exploratory off-road autonomy. There is a market for that.

Autonomous dodging off-roads without any human presence. This is a demonstration of pushing the limits of what is possible in off-road #autonomousdriving. In this demo, we performed autonomous dodging without any human presence in our autonomous vehicle, that too off-roads. In this mode, collision avoidance against aggressive-stochastic-adversarial traffic is the sole responsibility of #AutonomousVehicles. Our autonomous vehicle, Deep Xplorer, was tasked with navigating an off-road trail, avoiding both the static and dynamic obstacles. Furthermore, team members on bikes introduced random cross-traffic interactions by cutting its path at random, creating highly adversarial and stochastic traffic scenarios. To increase the stakes even further, I personally drove our other autonomous vehicle (Xplorer), cutting the path of Deep Xplorer at random --leaving the task of negotiation, motion planning, and decision making, to ensure collision avoidance and safety of the vehicles and the environment as a sole responsibility of our autonomous driving stack in Deep Xplorer. This is the first time in the history of @swaayatt that we performed autonomous dodging without human presence in our autonomous vehicle, pushing the limits of what is possible in autonomous driving landscape. #reinforcementlearning #deeplearning

@HimRiver @ClinkWrites The white guys in Africa meme, but make it about cartoonish animals!

@ClinkWrites They got me at smile and wave.

This is the promo by Flipkart after sponsoring Namibia. 😂

@ps_probo @_CreatingWealth @ChristinMP_ @Maheshbr4U @PMOIndia @DeccanHerald @TOIIndiaNews @XpressBengaluru @THBengaluru @VijayaKarnataka @krishnabgowda @OfficialBMRCL @publictvnews Which is why the focus should be on building more metro/local lines and disincentivizing private transport. Long double decker structures are hard to construct and delay metro for no fault of it's own. The one under the yellow line delayed construction by years!

@_CreatingWealth @ChristinMP_ @Maheshbr4U @PMOIndia @DeccanHerald @TOIIndiaNews @XpressBengaluru @THBengaluru @VijayaKarnataka @krishnabgowda @OfficialBMRCL @publictvnews Yeah our population esp in cities is beyond capacity for any infrastructure.

●#Bengaluru Metro Phase-3A approval pending with Central Government for over an year, supposedly on issue over Double-decker concept. ●When #Nagpur #Metro was allowed to have Double decker , with a world record length of 5.6 KMs, why Bengaluru a citywith high Traffic can't be approved?. ●Request @CMofKarnataka @DKShivakumar @hd_kumaraswamy @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @ShobhaBJP & @DrCNManjunath to ensure Approval please 🙏 Source : @moneycontrolcom

@ANI The answer is simple, drop plans for the senseless tunnel road and claw back the money that was given out for the quarter baked DPRs and cut out the graft in public tenders.

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar says, "BMRCL (Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited) fare increase is based on a formula - OMR cost, existing cost based on CPI, energy cost. Based on this, I have directed them to come up with a revised fare. Delhi, for example, security and other things are taken care of by the central government. The cost is very high. I have asked them to recalculate. The decision to put the fare hike on hold was made by the Karnataka Government; the central government has no role in this. There is a formula accordingly, FFC (Fees Fixation Committee) has done all the workouts of expenditure and other things."

Why attack billionaires and millionaires? Jealous some? They made their money and they're not taking anything from us. Democrats, however, are not doing what the rich do, which is use the system intelligently to benefit themselves. They're actually reaching across the aisle and taking from us: they're telling us that so much is needed for such and such noble cause, and this is not the case! They're breaking our backs! The rich are just walking their road whereas the Democrats are stealing from us! How about the idea of one walking his or her road? This has nothing to do with the rich!!! Stay focused please and stop distracting from the meat of the problem!

This is how the scam works

@grok @CThVualnam @PMNehru The man is acting the role of a harraser, not that of a brother. The gist is simple, the aggresor doesn't care about the women, but only for so called morality.

The video is a Hindi skit. Here's a translated transcript: Couple chats about Valentine's week (teddy/chocolate/hug days). Aggressor approaches: "Caught you! Come out. Brother, here on Valentine's?" Man: "Not Valentine's, she's not my girlfriend—she's my sister! I'm just teasing her." Woman: "Yes, he's been teasing me forever." Aggressor: "Oh, siblings? Nothing we can do then. Don't fall in love!" He leaves. The "trick" is pretending to be siblings.

Bajrang Dal won't touch couples that know this trick.

@SumanSuhag7 @houmanasefi @gdb Maybe this will be solved by what people like @a1zhang have been researching.

@SumanSuhag7 @houmanasefi @gdb Maybe you are talking about conventional notions of critical thinking. And maybe I am wrong, but I will continue to hold the contrarian view that LLMs are bad with true long term memory and developing/storing intuition.

Software development is undergoing a renaissance in front of our eyes. If you haven't used the tools recently, you likely are underestimating what you're missing. Since December, there's been a step function improvement in what tools like Codex can do. Some great engineers at OpenAI yesterday told me that their job has fundamentally changed since December. Prior to then, they could use Codex for unit tests; now it writes essentially all the code and does a great deal of their operations and debugging. Not everyone has yet made that leap, but it's usually because of factors besides the capability of the model. Every company faces the same opportunity now, and navigating it well — just like with cloud computing or the Internet — requires careful thought. This post shares how OpenAI is currently approaching retooling our teams towards agentic software development. We're still learning and iterating, but here's how we're thinking about it right now: As a first step, by March 31st, we're aiming that: (1) For any technical task, the tool of first resort for humans is interacting with an agent rather than using an editor or terminal. (2) The default way humans utilize agents is explicitly evaluated as safe, but also productive enough that most workflows do not need additional permissions. In order to get there, here's what we recommended to the team a few weeks ago: 1. Take the time to try out the tools. The tools do sell themselves — many people have had amazing experiences with 5.2 in Codex, after having churned from codex web a few months ago. But many people are also so busy they haven't had a chance to try Codex yet or got stuck thinking "is there any way it could do X" rather than just trying. - Designate an "agents captain" for your team — the primary person responsible for thinking about how agents can be brought into the teams' workflow. - Share experiences or questions in a few designated internal channels - Take a day for a company-wide Codex hackathon 2. Create skills and AGENTS[.md]. - Create and maintain an AGENTS[.md] for any project you work on; update the AGENTS[.md] whenever the agent does something wrong or struggles with a task. - Write skills for anything that you get Codex to do, and commit it to the skills directory in a shared repository 3. Inventory and make accessible any internal tools. - Maintain a list of tools that your team relies on, and make sure someone takes point on making it agent-accessible (such as via a CLI or MCP server). 4. Structure codebases to be agent-first. With the models changing so fast, this is still somewhat untrodden ground, and will require some exploration. - Write tests which are quick to run, and create high-quality interfaces between components. 5. Say no to slop. Managing AI generated code at scale is an emerging problem, and will require new processes and conventions to keep code quality high - Ensure that some human is accountable for any code that gets merged. As a code reviewer, maintain at least the same bar as you would for human-written code, and make sure the author understands what they're submitting. 6. Work on basic infra. There's a lot of room for everyone to build basic infrastructure, which can be guided by internal user feedback. The core tools are getting a lot better and more usable, but there's a lot of infrastructure that currently go around the tools, such as observability, tracking not just the committed code but the agent trajectories that led to them, and central management of the tools that agents are able to use. Overall, adopting tools like Codex is not just a technical but also a deep cultural change, with a lot of downstream implications to figure out. We encourage every manager to drive this with their team, and to think through other action items — for example, per item 5 above, what else can prevent a lot of "functionally-correct but poorly-maintainable code" from creeping into codebases.

@SumanSuhag7 @houmanasefi @gdb Even when we build world models, we will fail to reach levels of approximation that are required to insure completeness. IMHO, that completeness may not be required for most things, but I think the brain and most of nature has matured far beyond what any machine can ever get to..

@SumanSuhag7 @houmanasefi @gdb Yes, pattern recognition, testing and updation are the basis of thought. But in the context of LLMs, critical thinking is more about applying sound logic to inputs and LLMs can barely make out what is the hypothesis and what is fact.

@SumanSuhag7 @houmanasefi @gdb It makes sense to say to plan, or to research, but thinking? Critical thinking? Nah, no machine is going to do that. If you are doing the conventional process driven planning and research where you have to depend on source truths, it makes sense, but to think... Nah

@houmanasefi @gdb People treat AI like a tool. That’s the conservative path. The exponential path begins when it becomes an extension of thinking itself.

@gladwin_love @bykarthikreddy Policy makers who are basically just grifters...

@bykarthikreddy Why couldn't Bengaluru do that? Anything that's stopping?

Chennai metro generates 30% of its revenue without charging on the ticket people buy In contrast, Bengaluru metro generates less than 10% of its revenue from non-ticket sales. Now you know why Chennai charges ₹50 above 32 kms while Bengaluru starts charging ₹95 above 25 kms

@solidview @namma_BTM @NammaBengaluroo @bengalurupost1 @WFRising @BAFBLR @WF_Watcher @CivicOp_india @ChristinMP_ @BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka But ain't that exactly what they want? We move from public to private transport and they have excuse to build visionless infrastructure that helps them reap their illicit dividends?

The incremental revenue BMRCL expects from the 5% hike is 121 crores (see pictures below). Bengaluru commuters, taking turns, must #BoycottMetro for 1 day per work week from 10th Feb to wipe out the unfair revenue of 121 crores. Let's do it, it's the only way BMRCL listens 🙏🏼

At Iblur junction where they are planning a new flyover & a revamp, whatever that is, I saw these two little girls taking the bus to school today. Will they ever get a bus shelter? It was the yellow dress girl's birthday..how many more birthdays does she have to endure like this.

@OfficialBMRCL @MoHUA_India @mlkhattar @officeofmlk @srivasrbmrccoi1 linkedin.com/posts/satya-ar… They will try to run away from responsibility, but the only reason this is happening is to build public support for the visionless road building and tax payer extraction schemes of Karnataka government.

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd – Annual Fare Revision. For further details, please refer to the media release.

@majigehuli @OfficialBMRCL @MoHUA_India @mlkhattar @officeofmlk @srivasrbmrccoi1 @Tejasvi_Surya Mandate that these fare fixation idiots have to use public transport for all travel. Ban their free chauffeured cars and they will finally show empathy. Sitting on their high horses they have forgetten what they are supposed to do. Such shamelessness.

@OfficialBMRCL @MoHUA_India @mlkhattar @officeofmlk @srivasrbmrccoi1 @Tejasvi_Surya seriously 35rs have increased in less than a year you shameless creatures! The trains will be jam-packed during peakhours, delhi metro is far more better than this. What was the reason for fare hike.
