It’s a golden time to work on non-LLM based machine learning ideas. LLMs seem to have plateaued - they’re stuck in a local maxima. We need fresh ideas to go beyond the auto-regressive next token prediction paradigm.

#HBD to arXiv!🎈 On August 14, 1991, the very first paper was submitted to arXiv. That's 34 years of sharing research quickly, freely & openly! Some baby pictures to show how far we've come . . . when we were just a computer under desk . . . & in our 1994 punk phase . . . 👶💾

so many papers so little time

watching the citation count go up 1 by 1 on a paper i worked on is incredibly satisfying

Got reached out for MCP contributions & 2 Agentic AI projects at work 🚀 Personal brand really does open doors, investing in it made all the difference!

New hobby unlocked: training my cardiovascular fitness 🏃‍♀️ Learning what tracking splits, monitoring VO₂ max, and experimenting with heart rate zones look like. Missed the feeling of starting from scratch. Where’s the best place to start learning?

Scaling the pod vertically without restarting is now feasible from Kubernetes v1.33. Normally, if you wanted to give an app (a Pod in Kubernetes) more memory or CPU, you had to restart it. That works fine if the app doesn’t care about restarts, but some apps really don’t like

Live on the Bengaluru Systems (fka Bengaluru Systems Meetup) discord today: Xiangpeng Hao walks us through how LiquidCache (VLDB 2026) - a pushdown cache on object storage systems for cloud-native OLAP workloads - works, and why object storage is the future of next-generation workloads and databases.

i think my biggest life hack so far is building mini communities around skills I want to get better (lifting, writing, design eng) becomes a forcing function for growth + brings awesome ppl in my orbit that I already share interests with

at first i'm shy, then i'm a podcast

finished implementing my mcp server for Presto and the rep playlist is blasting in the bg :3

Did a 7K on 7th September :D

Nothing is better than staying up almost all night helping write ICLR papers while being stranded in a hotel in Rome (due to the Typhoon in Hong Kong). No Roman holidays apparently. When I got my first job at UIUC, my Phd advisor Shankar joked that "You know, professors do not

I was invited to speak at IIT Madras on why AI careers in 2025 demand more than coding. The evolving toolkit involves domain expertise, strong communication, thought leadership, OSS & ethical AI; these compound. Don’t just know; create, publish, ship. Visible work builds careers!
