At @unicef we have been building an #OpenSource project for the humanitarian sphere for the last 4 years and it has been accepted as #digitalpublicgood. Very interesting process 😍.

Sometimes these new AI guys lie to us (african) ngo you can run this model on consumer grade PC ... I tried. Just the tokenization with a .6B model overwhelmed my 20G/i5 machine. Imagine! Just generating embedding. 600$/m for running a descent pipeline. #linux #postgresml

We had the same experience. We then built our own company that uses the same tools we were proposing to local banks. Now we eat "our own dogfood" = We have a microfinance that uses our softwares we were trying to sell. We got certified and used by other banks and enterprises.

I am usually impressed by people who are running successful start ups out here. It takes a lot. Blood and sweat. Oh, the company that was awarded the contract had tried to acquire us and employ some of the key team members but we refused. I'd still make the same decision today.

It's been about a year since my team has fully adopted all the AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) And day to day I am feeling the added cruft in the code base. Unit tests are not catching regressions. Unneeded mocking, comments, are left in between. More refactoring is needed

Realised smth while writing the "How to Get Into AI Research w/ Zero Experience In A Year" post. I know 5 people who just ran training experiments for ~6 months, posted their discussions on Twitter and got a model training researcher role. This method likely still works

The algorithms have owners. The owners have location-specific agendas. The things the algorithms push in front of your eyeballs are determined by your location and the owners' agenda for it. That's why there are several Nigerian TikTok creators and streamers who make

A chromium wrapper sold for $600M. A VSCode fork is valued at $10B. Yet you still want to build everything from scratch. Find the gap.

A popular NPM package got compromised, attackers updated it to run a post-install script that steals secrets But the script is a *prompt* run by the user's installation of Claude Code. This avoids it being detected by tools that analyze code for malware You just got vibepwned

Something remarkable just happened in Pakistan. In only 8 months, citizens built the equivalent of half the country’s national electric grid, without waiting for government or utilities. How? ☀️ Cheap solar panels ☀️ TikTok tutorials showing how to install them ☀️ Farmers
