Pure services mindset doesn't covert into product. Product mindset can switch to services anytime. 1. Services optimise for certainty of client deliverables, the thinking is outsourced to the client. Product is optimising for what you think is worth building, and facing the consequence if your judgment is wrong. Going from deciding for yourself to executing a client spec is easy - the reverse, not so much. 2. Services is people and their time as cost - every hour must map to revenue. Product is essentially cost only for months and then a step function or zero. Mindset trained for untilization can't sit with this. 3. Services runs on saying yes. Product is mostly saying no. It is very hard for a yes guy to change to no.

That’s Ladli Bahin Yojana budget of 1 state like Maharashtra.
Replying to @tejeshwi_sharma
Frontier labs budgets are $4-5 Bn range. Even Europe isn’t able to give / get so much money yet for Mistral. IMHO, making general purpose or vertical models is one thing; making models like this is totally another.

This is magnificent. Found another gem from Pune
This is a ventilator. It gets OTA updates like your smartphone. And its designed and built in Pune by @Noccarc. This is just one of their products. In fact, they hold 18 patents and have filed 9 more of them. They've already deployed 4,000 of these in hospitals.

This applies to many niche skills. I didn’t learn astrophotography from school, I learned it by getting my hands dirty & spent every night learning how NOT to do it. If you want to do something, just start doing it. Waiting for someone to teach you might leave you with nothing.

There is obviously no “degree” you can get from a university that actually teaches you how to make an orbital rocket, as none of the professors know how to do it!

Skin in the game is the only signal left. All other signals - intelligence, confidence, smartness, well-read - all of these have been commoditised. Has the talker walked the talk is the question to ask to make your bullshit radar stronger.
Everyone should build a bullshit radar in life. It’s the most useful skill with the highest return today. So many experts in everything that the head feels like junkyard. A good bullshit radar is like a vaccine to stop you from becoming stupid.

A speech so good, it will convince anyone to move to SF. I won't lie, it did tempt me.

Palmer Luckey's blunt advice for programmers dreaming of starting a software company: "If you love programming, go work for someone who'll pay you to program." Running a company isn't programming. It's hiring, firing, compliance, and meetings.

As the cost & time of building 3D content is coming down, there would be lot of utility apps would come along in near future in XR.
what’s the latest on using AI to create VR apps and environments? Seems like it would defeat a huge barrier - the scarcity and cost of content I don’t mean building AAA VR games, but even high quality VR utilities/app and basic 3D experiences

AI has the potential to usher in an era of abundance in creation. Social media took 3 billion people and made them consumers. Only a small percentage of users were created in this era. AI is going to take the same 3 billion and make them creators. The next decade will produce more art, music, code, and stories than the last fifty combined. Most of it from people who never thought they could.

This is big for game dev, XR.
Unity AI is now in Open Beta 🎉💫 We believe AI has the most impact when it helps creators move faster while staying in control of the creative process. Use our built-in agent tuned for Unity workflows or connect the AI tools you prefer via AI Gateway and MCP Server.

10 Crore, 40 Crore or 100 Crores! Really don't know what the real number one should aim for as their retirement corpus or to claim financial freedom. With a small circle of people that I work with everyday, I keep telling them that - after all struggles that I have seen in my life, including ups & downs, a few successes and many failures - at the end only 3 things would matter for you. 1. Having a family that stands with you 2. Not many, just 4-5 close friends 3. Having enough cash in the bank for a rainy day Yes, this is what life will be all about. So let's be kind, helpful and supportive to people in our lives.

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition. GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before. Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country. The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything. The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot. Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart. GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution. Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time. For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day. GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission. Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru. Take a bow!
A Bengaluru startup just did something no one in the world has ever done, put a satellite in orbit that sees through clouds, through the night, with optical sensor and SAR fused into one. Many many congratulations to the @Galaxeye team on the launch of Mission Drishti! This is exactly why PM Sri @narendramodi opened up the space sector, so young Indians could build an audacious future for the nation.

The problem in India is those with money are not innovating and those innovating have no money.
