As India prepares for increasing Chinese presence in Tibet and a post-14th Dalai Lama era, it will seek new ways in pursuing its interests in Tibet. Buddhist diplomacy could be the key in countering Beijing while raising India's status Read my article: https://t.co/Ngcw3PAxa9

Digital in-memory compute is an interesting approach to AI inference. My latest post looks at @dMatrix_AI 's inferencing solution in considerable depth - from chip level to rack-scale - including the pros/cons and works through potential end applications of their products

When Genghis Khan was besieging Yinchuan, he had each soldier build five campfires, tricking the Chinese into thinking his much smaller force had a much higher GDP per capita, prompting them to surrender the city.
Night lights are such a wonderful way to detect economic growth. They pick up tariffs, new technologies, growth and regress, peace and war, and they even let you know if countries are lying about their GDPs!

One of China’s most famous VCs loudly dissed humanoids, but has been quietly doubling down on this robotics company instead Allan Zhu, GP at GSR Ventures, is one of the more recognizable figures in China’s venture world. He made his name in mobile internet and the sharing

My gut this is directionally right but just understanding the technical, power, and packaging challenges with this it’s wild to see as a roadmap. Some MONSTER chip sizes coming. Long live advanced packaging!

just Peking Univ + Tsinghua *alone* admit approx half as many students as ALL 23 IITs combined, as undergrads every year expand intake at IIT/NIT/IIIT while also making it reasonably hard to pass & graduate right now - we have very tight entry gates; wide open exit gates
Code RED for India 🚨 - only paranoids survive. ============ India is nowhere in Neurips 2025 in San Diego. World's largest AI research conference. Below is leaderboard of sorrow for India. India Universities are nowhere to be seen. India's dream of becoming a technological

This is the start of a long 🧵of a series of charts that I will update as I go along analyzing and visualizing 16 years of excruciatingly detailed data for the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI). The number of factories in India has grown to almost 213k from 150k in 2008-09, and

In @nytopinion A classified government report showcases shocking U.S. military weaknesses. It's time for America to “create a relevant and effective force that can deter wars whenever possible and win them wherever necessary,” the editorial board writes.

Investing in the old ways of war leaves America at risk.

Pretty sad state of American affairs that for our 250th birthday we aren’t even building anything to commemorate it—when back in the day we’d be throwing up bridges, new trains, railroads, and whole cities just to prove a point.

Both Malala's detractors & defenders pit her against Greta when irl, they're friends in a groupchat together. If you look into it, this discourse isn't v substantive, but mostly based on false/misleading info, the online left version of stan culture, & identity-based resentments.

I'm surprised no China hawk in the admin has committed ritual suicide yet.
BREAKING: President Trump says he has called China's President Xi and approved sales of Nvidia's H200 chip to China. Trump says 25% of revenue will be paid to the US and the "same approach" will apply to AMD, Intel, and others.

I'm sorry - Vance is against a foreign policy built on hectoring, moralizing, and lecturing? I suppose he didn't have time to make that clear until now, given his busy scheduling hectoring, moralizing, and lecturing our allies.
🇺🇸 VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: “We have built a foreign policy of hectoring, moralizing, and lecturing countries that don’t want anything to do with it. The Chinese have a foreign policy of building roads, bridges, and feeding poor people.”
