Thoughts

We kind of celebrate the kings or leaders who have won war and battles in their period forget the ones who never fought one because there was no need of. But the irony is that in the time period where there was no war, people were in living in peace and prosperity.

Isn’t it what we want or aspire to be? Then why not celebrate the boring ones?

I love AI when it comes to learning new stuff and understanding them. But little hesitant to create new stuff with AI.

BTW this website is completely created by AI. 😬

I always admired Matt Godbolt the creator of Compiler Explorer. His videos on Computer architecture are good.

I recently came across one of his cppcon video on how compilation and linking is get done by compiler. This started creating curiosity on elf and compiler stuff.

Recently came across a post from @kepano -- maker of Obsidian which is one of the product I like a lot.

I am prone to existential depression... My mind easily drifts towards thinking that in the grand scheme of things nothing we do really matters, so why bother doing anything at all?

But within this fear is a desire for some kind of external validation. I like this quote by Kubrick: "The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."

It helps me reframe life from being outside-in to inside-out. Inside of you is a tiny candle and you are in control of it. Keep it alive and continue to expand that light. For yourself. That's all.

Yes, nothing matters. But also, nothing matters! You are free. You are free to take that inner candle anywhere you want. Its glow will naturally grow the things around you.

Started watching death note anime, maybe after 12 years and it’s the only anime I ever watched in my life. Still find the thrill in it. And the L’s background music, no words for it…

For any black and white photo, the more contrast it has the more it looks attractive, of course other things should be taken care of like composition, subject, lighting, frame etc.

As we add more technology (now with these AI agents) in our life, we make space for entertainment. I mean thats good but i feel too much of anything is not good. And one more point is the entertainment we add is not community driven so it kind of make us isolated.

Someone asked me how do you know if it's a good photograph? — I said if it makes you feel aww!

The millionaires look at the centimillionaires, who look at the billionaires, who look at the decabillionaires, who look at the centibillionaires. And what do the centibillionaires want? Immorality.

First time saw DGX Spark, what a piece of tiny beast it is. I think NVIDIA got a mastery in packaging the stuff and look cool. My only major complaint so far is that they should have an indicator to show if machine is running or not.
