    BREAKING: NVIDIA just proved that the AI agent training bottleneck everyone blamed on model capability was actually an infrastructure design error. Every framework SkyRL, VeRL-Tool, Agent Lightning, rLLM, GEM embeds rollout inside the training loop. I/O-intensive execution

    Niranjan was one of my bosses at my first company. It's terrible what he had to go through, but the sense of scientific charity is a class apart.

    300 applications for ML internship. Not a single one can write a scikit pipeline and normalise input data. Everyone has advanced ML and data science degrees from all kinds of cool programs. And everyone has worked on CNN. And everyone has published papers.

    So @amazonIN is actually selling fake products through its own Appario seller. I got defrauded of 29K @sony_india headphones - sealed packet had fakes Amazon refused to take action. @amazonIN doesn't want to acknowledge insider fraud Anyone know if credit card chargeback works?

    TCS on credit cards is such a bad idea, that it defies logic. I think this generation of babus have forgotten that Indians basically *invented* Hawala - a shadow global money transmission network, cos they wanted to buy microwave ovens abroad in the 80s.

    this is very interesting. Kotak Securities analysis of all the big fintech apps in India - with their permissions usage. Fair disclosure - we ask for a bunch of these permissions as well. However, we are changing.

    Interesting update on this case. So the Amazon Executive Relations (the "Jeff Bezos team") reached out after this message and offered to investigate. After investigation, they closed the investigation saying that Amazon has actually sent the genuine product and they cant do

    The RBI is competing with AWS & Azure ! No let me get this straight - the RBI is creating a cloud provider for financial sector in India? A regulator is actively competing with businesses? m.rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_Pre…

    Costliest part of running a datacenter is cooling. India will always have more expensive GPU data centers due to hotter weather, high oil prices & GPU import duties So, running LLM in India will ALWAYS be far more expensive Maybe... competing on Foundation Models is dumb ?

    I wish @levelsio was right. Unfortunately, regulations of India make this impossible. @PMOIndia @nsitharamanoffc this needs to be fixed - we can have millions of Indian software developers building for global markets. However RBI regulations make it IMPOSSIBLE. Due to ODI

    Literally not an excuse: 1. Register a company abroad (US, UK, SG) •Use Stripe Atlas to start a US LLC (Delaware) •Or use StartGlobal, Firstbase, or Doola •Costs ~$300–500 upfront + ~$100/year maintenance •You’ll need a US bank account (they help with that) 2. Use Razorpay
