A drop in the bucket. But it is my drop.
Declined first engagement linked to a grant funded by @FCDOGovUK and @sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
Have already removed @KfW_FZ_int and @USAID from our list of approved partners and financiers.

I'm hiring a research tech soon for my lab at Harvard Med, starting this fall. We'll work on designing microbes and proteins with New-to-Nature functions.
Ideal for a recent grad seeking hands-on research & opportunity to publish before PhD.
Job ad soon. RTs much appreciated!

just realized even Karpathy is on Eb-1 visa, and is not a citizen himself. Damn. Even he can't use mythos anymore.

Finally done with Spring semester. Now getting ready for Fall '26.
Every summer, I read as many recent books and papers as possible to stay ahead of the AI training corpus.
If you want to build AI proof exams, test banks, assignments and quiz, outdate the corpus.

As faculty two hard questions facing us this year.
How do we teach our students about the benefits of integrating AI in their workflows yet, hold back so they don't suffer from the now documented cognitive decline linked to extreme AI usage.
Balance in the universe?

The smartest English departments will double down on ensuring their students have read long arduous books, numerous a semester. They’ll have reading labs where students read & take physical notes for 3 hours at a time. They advertise their students can concentrate for hours.

The first major university that publicly commits to a total AI ban in its undergrad teaching (no AI in class, in creating syllabi or class prep, creating & completing assignments, or grading) and makes that part of its brand will see a major surge in applications & enrollment.

Now reading loon shots while on airport duty in Karachi.
Why great teams with the best of intentions kill great ideas. And sponsors of those ideas written off as unhinged and crazy.
Thank you @vkhosla for the recommendation. Bought everything on that list.

HEC attestation is nothing more than a means to make money. Why can’t an HEC recognised university issue an already HEC attested degree?
You wanna keep making money? Fine. Universities can just add that amount to the last semester fee. Degrees should come pre-attested.

HEC has revamped the Degree Attestation System (DAS) by introducing a fully online and paperless attestation mechanism to facilitate students and graduates across Pakistan.
Under the new system, applicants will no longer be required to physically visit HEC offices or submit original documents. Applications for online attestation can now be submitted 24/7 through the HEC e-Services Portal.
The new e-Attestation Certificate system is designed to provide a secure, efficient, and user-friendly process, with online verification available for attested documents and certificates.
The upgraded online Degree Attestation System will be launched and become effective from 11 May 2026.

SSGC has truly paid off any debt it owed to this city with interest. And compound interest at that.
Didn't realize that they were also big fans of visual arts given the art work they left across city roads.

Nothing but respect for training regime, the discipline, the commitment and the fire inside to make this happen.
Can't even get close to doing one at this pace, let alone 8x back to back.
For anyone that’s ever run a 5K before, here are his splits for all 8 consecutive each 5K’s -

The last 5k I ran on the 2nd day of Eid this year was 40 minutes.
And I have been limping ever since that run.

The Power Division has formally requested NEPRA to review the recent framework and restore maximum facilitation for solar consumers up to 25kW in the form of zero license fee and no requirement of licenses up to 25kW.
Our government is pro-solar, pro-consumer, and committed to clean energy. We want to remove unnecessary barriers, reduce costs, and provide as much relief as possible to the people of Pakistan.

Taught myself the basics of film editing at 45.
Now teaching myself the basics of 2D animation at 55.
An education's best gift is the ability to learn anything at anytime.
Learning how to learn. Doesn't matter how old, how out of touch, or how irrelevant you are.

Diplomacy is about results, not optics. Real power is silent and effective, not loud and performative.
Being a 'Vishwaguru' requires more than a narrative—it requires moving the needle in global crises. Pakistan just gave a masterclass in diplomacy by securing a ceasefire when it mattered most. Action over rhetoric, every single time. 🌍🤝
Huge congratulations to the people of Pakistan! 🇵🇰 @Razarumi
