My "go-to" for unsupervised agent runs is now sst/opencode with kimi-k2-thinking-turbo.
Surprisingly fast and cheap. Runs great for most stuff I use it for.
3$ vs 30$ for the same API usage on Claude Sonnet 4.5

This Diwali, burst less "rockets" and "atom bombs" and instead re-watch Rocket Boys on Sony Liv.
Ignite passion for scientific excellence and competitiveness, alongside diyas and kandils.
We once dreamt of global leadership and excellence. It all stems from Math and Science.

Indian writing in English: the authors who write well lack the imagination to captivate the average reader (like me).
And the folks who have the imagination write the most insipid 6th standard English.
Where are the great Indian thrillers?

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?
To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

People like to be contrarian and say things like Langda is the best mango. Ignore them.
Even if Hapus did not exist in this world, Kesar and Payari are both better. As is Banganpalle and Gulabkhas.
Hapus is king.
There, that's my spicy take for the day.

It's interesting how the major LLM API vendors are converging on the following features:
- Code execution: Python in a sandbox
- Web search - like Anthropic, Mistral seem to use Brave
- Document library aka hosted RAG
- Image generation (FLUX for Mistral)
- MCP

My Git story: the year was 2006. @jiteshs_.x.com and I were participating in a bunch of coding competitions.
For PICT's OPUS, we built a file-splitting program based on Hamming codes, to move around large files on floppy disks. It was beautiful.

I travel by Pune Metro regularly, and stand in queue like a sensible person.
People crowd at the yellow line to jump into the train. They won't even let people get down from the train first.
How hard is it to stand in line? Why are we like this?

The Singapore trip was amazing.
I've been to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok previously, and assumed that's what SG would be like. It was much better!
As a friend put it:
KL is ahead of Mumbai by a large distance. The distance between SG and KL is bigger than that.

If there is an AI meetup you think I should attend, please let me know!

Has anybody used Sprint Planning in a way that has worked for them? Where they felt -- "This has actually added value to my work!"?
If yes, what did you do differently? Trying to keep my bias aside and learn.

Other than @ai4bharat.x.com, what are the great Indic language datasets?
More importantly, how does one go about contributing to these language datasets?
Curating the datasets and building projects around these are a great way for anyone to get started in AI projects!
