5 July 2025 Who am I? The title says it. I am a 37-year-old wanting to learn computer science. But who am I really? I am someone who has always wanted to build stuff.

I am not a complete beginner in computer science. I am still a somewhat-beginner. At least I know how to hack my way to build and host a minimalistic static blog like

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-16 04:00:08

Can an LLM "help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss?" It's been a rough week at Microsoft.

The Download: India’s AI independence, and predicting future epidemics

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-17 16:10:00

Despite its status as a global tech hub, India lags far behind the likes of the US and China when it comes to homegrown AI. That gap has opened largely because India has chronically underinvested in R&D, institutions, and invention. Meanwhile, since no one native language is spoken by the majority of the population, training language models is far more complicated than it is elsewhere.
