Cracked the foundation models guardrail; grateful to permissiveContentTransformations.

Been working for straight 13 hours all night and morning and afternoon. But that's a week's worth of testing!

I am glad that they postponed the run. It is so bad outside AQI > 500, I have not stepped out of my house for days (so privileged to have remote work with a laptop)

WWDC 2019 was my first trip outside my city, my first international trip. I literally had to make a passport for it and get a US visa in 2 months!

Applyyy! It was all so worth it

Where should we begin?

Well, it all started when I wanted a shiny golden MacBook 12"

I am really enjoying Spiderman 2. Binged it all Sunday and almost done with the story line. I think I will take it a bit slower and try to wrap it up this week and not today 🤣

I went out shopping today! 🤩

November should be my best month of the year; October was the worst health-wise

Looking into Canada transit visa and ChatGPT is empathetic

Got my hands on the MacBook Pro M5 with 32GB RAM to review! Thank you Apple.

Let’s see how much I can extract from then foundation models and MLX! 🤖🤖🤖

I was bedridden last week and finally recovering. Walking many thousand steps will take a while

This sounds so good

I think I will regret not going to CES, especially when I have a media pass.

The flight and accommodation are a bit expensive but then it was a lot of fun this year. I enjoyed it more than WWDC

Charged my Switch after 2 years. 🥹

I have breath of the wild game card; can start with it. So much to play

Just saw Delhi to Shanghai nonstop flight has resumed; hopefully the tourist visa process is also relaxed

At 51 hours, it became my most played game on PS5. I do not think I will go for platinum. Maybe some other month.

For now, I will boot up XSX for Cyberpunk 2077

Finished the story of Ghost of Yotei. Absolutely breathtaking game and graphics.

Life has been just game and sleep lately so I signed up for a 5K in 4 weeks.

Today was the first day of training. Walked to the park, a bit of run/walk and then back.

I have played over 40 hours of Ghost of Yōtei and at this point I do not even know if I am enjoying the game or just escaping reality

I added Qwen 3 VL 4B to MLX Swift! Check it out!

I am back from my vacation. Dubai is a nice city 🌃

Last quarter’s goal is to have fun writing and coding while documenting more of my work

Another surreal sunset that I experienced.

The wind at the top of Burj Khalifa, and failing to conquer my fear of heights at 152th floor was worth it.

Most cliched birthday with Indian food classics: butter chicken, garlic naan and gulab jamun 😆🤩
