Got my O-1 approved! Time to build my own reality. After my mom, now it’s US who thinks I am an individual of extraordinary ability. I first came to the US almost a decade back with my harem pants and a fistful of dream. A few months back I left @stripe to go all in on AI, and

If someone in 17th century said, “your place is awful”, that’d have been a compliment. Awful used to mean full of awe. "Manufacture" meant made by hand. "Artificial" meant belonging to art. Words betray their origins. But yoga? We turned 5,000 years of liberation into a $36B

Tested a voice app in Gemini Studio, impressed with the Gemini Live API capabilities. First prompt -> few iterations of vibe coding -> deployed -> first user feedback in <1 hour. Some neat features like Proactive Audio (filters irrelevant speech), grounding with Google search

Children with screen time ≥2 hours per day had 1.51 times higher odds of ADHD (2023 meta-analysis). But what if screen time could be different? we built an interactive companion at @NanoBanana hackathon -- letting kids engage with favorite characters to fuel curiosity, not

How does karma persists across lifetimes in Buddhism? Buddhism is self-less and in Mahayana Buddhism, Ālayavijñāna is a stream, not a self. It feels like sneaking in a subtle ātman but in the end the counter argument is ālayavijñāna is also empty (similar to how everything is

design choices: - persistence vs privacy: ChatGPT risks useful persistence at cost of context bleed while Claude chooses clean isolation over convenience - performance triangle: balance accuracy, speed, and cost based on use case requirements (real-time sales calls demand low

AI agents? Build reliable, fast and cheap (in that order). Long contexts can hurt ('context rot): ~40% performance drop using full (170k) windows vs. focused context. Gather (recall) → Glean (precision). Stage 1 maximizes recall (gather) across structured/unstructured sources

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are like high school rote learners, they don’t actually “see” instead, they rely on memorized knowledge rather than true visual analysis, often due to bias. o4-mini achieves the highest accuracy (20.25%) which however is still low. VLMs with

CALL FOR SINGAPORE SPEAKERS: Tomorrow is Singapore's National Day 🇸🇬 60 years ago we were kicked out of Malaysia. Lost, alone, defenseless, no plan for a functioning economy. Lee Kuan Yew wept on "national" TV. Now Singapore is the #4 richest country per capita. @tammiesiew

What's the best brand from Singapore that's known globally? Not a company, but Lee Kuan Yew. Great to celebrate Singapore's 60th with some real food (chicken curry) in SF. Cheers to @tammiesiew @swyx for organizing and letting people speak Singlish in a safe space.

Loved the first 30-min in @PerplexityComet, it's a beautiful amalgamation of different tools in one place. Fast and accuracy is great too - TTFT is impressive for complex queries too. Voice is not there yet compared to other capabilities. Summarise webpage/youtube videos, give

Vibe dancing > vibe coding. Blistered feet, torn costume and happy heart. Finally performed Indian dance (Garba) in SF! If you're in SF/Bay Area and want to join for fun dance classes, hit me up. No coding experience required.

There are ~900 total references to "yoga" in the Mahabharata and only 2 mentions of "asana" (physical postures) and even those are about sitting for meditation, not fitness routines. Yoga has been stripped away of philosophical inquiry and dressed into Lululemon. "Who am I?"
