- 📚️I ordered a few of Prof. Andre Beteille books. He dies a few months back. He is perhaps the only sociologist that I could read. MN Srinivas’s “A remembered village” was also a great read.
- I also bought a few books on software engineering in general, especially on refactoring, design patterns, and architecture. Books on software engineering becomes outdated pretty soon. I prefer blog posts or papers.
- 🥭️ The peak mango season in Bengaluru is over!
- 🏏️I think I’ve lost all interest in cricket. I can no longer watch a full game, even watching highlights takes some effort. While the heart misses the test matches but I don’t have that much of time or attention. Then the T20, the “pornography of cricket”, fun as it is, has already killed neural circuitry that appreciated delayed-gratification required for test cricket. Good riddance, perhaps!
- 🤖️I learnt that Hyundai bought Boston Dynamics a few years back (80% stake) and now finished the deal by buying the remaining stakes. Automotive industry is betting on “physical AI”. Toyota, where I currently work, also have significant focus on physical AI.
- I don’t know much about LLM. I found Why domain specific LLMs won’t exist: an intuition to be interesting.
- 🛵️ It was a WFO week at work. I think I should once a week to office just to ensure that bike is in good shape. My office bag content remain relevant to seasons. I got caught in rain and I didn’t have my rain jacket in my bag.
- This year is going to be most tumultuous as far as “coding” is concerned. Either we’ll figure it out how to use AI properly. Or I’d have gone through the stage of griefs and reached acceptance by then. I’ve been thinking about AI or pushing back on it till December this year.
