Today, I am not gonna sleep peacefully. The gap between two civilisations will accelerate to unimaginable levels if one has access to super intelligence and the other doesn’t. As a nation, why can’t we buy 200,000 chips like tomorrow and start training.

"My wife and I had retired from Punjab National Bank. Unfortunately, she passed away 10 years ago. We had planned to travel the world using our PF and savings, but that dream remained unfulfilled. After her death, I no longer felt like travelling anywhere. I decided to donate half of the money we had saved for our dream journey to Indian Army so I donated Rs 25 lakh to Indian Army...Perhaps this will give me the same happiness that travelling with my wife would have given me..." ~ Shrikant Sahasrabuddhe.

Not possible in India. Babus will want 'scrutiny' of the $100 mn, Tejaswi/Raul will want 90% reservation for their stormtroopers.

His name is Ranjitsinh Disale. He wanted to be an engineer. When that did not work out, his father suggested he train as a teacher instead. In 2009, he was posted to a government primary school in Paritewadi, a small village in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The school was a crumbling building wedged between two storerooms, one of which had been used as a cattle shed. What he found there troubled him. Girls were being married off young instead of being sent to class. Attendance was poor. The textbooks were written in a language many of the children, who spoke Kannada at home, could not properly read. He decided to fix all of it, starting with the books. He learned the children’s mother tongue and rewrote their textbooks in a language they could actually understand. Then he did something no one in India was doing at the time. He printed unique QR codes inside the textbooks, allowing students with access to a phone to scan a page and instantly access audio poems, video lessons and practice questions. A village school in Solapur had built a digital classroom out of paper and printed squares. The results changed the village. Girls’ attendance reached nearly one hundred percent. Teenage marriages in the area stopped. His QR code idea worked so well that the Maharashtra government adopted it across the state. The following year, the national education body embedded QR codes in textbooks across the country. In 2020, Ranjitsinh Disale won the Global Teacher Prize. He was chosen from more than twelve thousand nominations across roughly one hundred and forty countries and was the only Indian in the top ten. The award carried one million dollars, around seven crore rupees. Then he did something no winner had ever done before. He announced that he would give away half the prize money, dividing it equally among the other nine finalists so that their work could continue as well. He said teachers are the real change makers. He meant all of them, not just himself. A man who became a teacher only because engineering did not work out changed how an entire country learns, and then gave half his fortune to the people he had competed against. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

Nobody grew up with the intention of being a cleaner, cashier, or security guard. We all had big dreams, but life happened. My friend, Respect other people's jobs.

Elon Musk may be remembered for electric cars, reusable rockets, AI, brain-computer interfaces, and perhaps one day, Mars. But his greatest contribution may be a complete reset of human ambition. He reminded an entire generation that it is still possible to attempt absurdly difficult things, risk public failure, and pursue goals measured in decades rather than quarters. Whether his bets succeed or fail, he has expanded humanity's sense of what is worth trying. Every generation inherits a ceiling on what it believes is possible. Musk's greatest contribution to mankind will be that he has raised this ceiling a million miles higher. Almost like the SpaceX Starship rocket lifting the collective ambition of mankind

অভিনেতা প্রদীপ কাবরা - 90s'এর সিনেমাগুলোতে এনাকে দেখলে প্রচন্ড রাগ হতো; কিন্তু পর্দার এই ভিলেন, বাস্তব জীবনে যে সুপারহিরো - তা জানা ছিলো না !!! "মায়ের প্রতি এক সন্তানের এরকম কর্তব্যপরায়ণতা" - বাস্তবে এক বিরল দৃষ্টান্ত ❤️

পোস্ট সৌজন্যে: মৈনাক সাহা “যা নেবে, সবকটা ৫ টাকা… বেশি দাম বললে তো কেউ নেবে না।” ভাঙা, ক্লান্ত এক গলায় বারবার উচ্চারিত এই কথাটাই কানে এলো। বিটি রোড সংলগ্ন সোদপুর স্টেশন চত্বরে এক প্রবীণ ভদ্রলোক রাতের পর রাত হেঁটে হেঁটে বাদাম, ছোলা ভাজা, সবুজ মটরসহ ছোটখাটো খাবার বিক্রি করে চলেছেন। তখন রাত প্রায় ১০টা—কিন্তু সময় যেন তাঁর কাছে অনেক আগেই হার মেনেছে জীবনের কঠিন বাস্তবতার কাছে। তাঁকে দেখে স্পষ্ট বোঝা যায়, শরীর ভালো নেই। ঠিকমতো কথা বলতে পারেন না, পা কাঁপে, দাঁড়িয়ে থাকতেও কষ্ট হয়। তবুও ভিড়ভাট্টা রাস্তা পার হয়ে এক প্রান্ত থেকে অন্য প্রান্তে ঘুরে ঘুরে অনুরোধ করেন—কিছু কিনে নিতে। ভাবুন তো, এই বয়সে এবং এমন শারীরিক অবস্থায় কেউ কি স্বেচ্ছায় রাত পর্যন্ত রাস্তায় দাঁড়িয়ে ব্যবসা করেন? নিশ্চয়ই না। প্রয়োজন আর দায়িত্বই তাঁকে প্রতিদিন এই সংগ্রামের পথে নামতে বাধ্য করেছে। আমাদের সবার কাছে একটি ছোট্ট অনুরোধ যাঁরা সোদপুর স্টেশন রোড বা আশপাশের মার্কেটে যাতায়াত করেন, তাঁরা যদি ভদ্রলোককে দেখতে পান, তাহলে সামর্থ্য অনুযায়ী তাঁর কাছ থেকে কিছু কিনে নেবেন। এছাড়া খড়দহ স্টেশন , রহড়া বাজারেও দেখা যায়। হয়তো সেই জিনিসটি আপনার খুব প্রয়োজন নেই, কিন্তু আপনার দেওয়া সামান্য কয়েকটি টাকা তাঁর দিনের রোজগারে বড় সহায়তা হতে পারে। বিশ্বাস করুন, একজন অসহায় মানুষের মুখে হাসি ফোটানোর যে মানসিক শান্তি ও তৃপ্তি পাওয়া যায়, তা হয়তো একটি চিকেন রোল বা চাউমিন খেয়ে পাওয়া যায় না। আসুন, মানবিকতার হাত বাড়াই। 🙏 অনুরোধ রইল—সম্ভব হলে তাঁর কাছ থেকে কিছু কিনে তাঁকে একটু সাহায্য করুন। এই পোস্টটি করার উদ্দেশ্য কাউকে ছোট বা বড় করে দেখানো নয়। বরং একজন সংগ্রামী মানুষের পাশে সামান্য মানবিকতার হাত বাড়িয়ে দেওয়ার আবেদন জানানো। যদি আমাদের ছোট্ট সহযোগিতায় তাঁর মুখে একটুকরো হাসি ফোটে বা দিনের শেষে কিছুটা স্বস্তি আসে, তাহলেই এই পোস্টের সার্থকতা। 🙏 পোস্ট টি মৈনাক সাহার থেকে নেওয়া। শুধুমাত্র ছড়িয়ে দেওয়ার জন্য !

Elon Musk's first wife wrote an essay about their marriage and one line in it explains everything about him. Justine met him in college. She was an aspiring novelist with a fire he found magnetic. They married young and had six children together after losing their first child as an infant. In an essay published years after the divorce, she described a moment early in the marriage. During an argument she reminded him she was his wife. According to her, he replied that if she were his employee, he would fire her. Then came the line that revealed the whole dynamic. She wrote that he told her plainly: I am the alpha in this relationship. She wasn't writing it to destroy him. She was describing a man whose intensity that built empires was the same intensity that made intimacy difficult. The trait that makes someone capable of changing the world is often the exact trait that makes them hard to live with. You rarely get the visionary without the cost that comes attached. The people closest to greatness usually pay the highest price for it.

If Calcutta was a stock, it's a wise buy for a decade.

Fortunately, Modi is allocating capital for Indian LLMs: x.com/AnthropicAI/status/206…

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

This single tweet cost California hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, revenue, and jobs:

Over 4000 workers just became millionaires by owning the means of production and the socialists are pissed

Elon Musk in this 2012 interview: " My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent." $SPCX $TSLA

A lot of people seem angry that Elon is now a trillionaire, so it’s worth reminding them that he didn’t achieve this by making anyone else poorer. Wealth isn't zero-sum. Paul Graham explained it well: paulgraham.com/wealth.html

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table. “I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them. There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot. At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla. We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires. And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.” New York Times DealBook Summit, 2023

Only one trillionaire in my end of year class pic. (I had already left for Holland) 🤷🏼‍♂️#1988
