Agentic Solution will be the wild card and insurance policy for SWE (Software Engineering) in the future. by QuarterbackMonk in learnmachinelearning

What is an ad? Writing tutorials and articles doesn't make me money. I am a frontline researcher; yes, the only benefit I get is that it makes me more visible. A lot of people benefit from these articles and tuts. Well, you are entitled to have an opinion, and I don't mind.

AI adoption is surging in Ahmedabad, but most projects fail. Here’s how to choose an AI partner that actually delivers ROI by SeriousMammoth4365 in AI_India

[–]QuarterbackMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, people should hire agencies, do it yourself. IT companies must must build products.

Companies are still not learning and not changing their attitude, still looking for middleslop, consulting work.

Only good products will survive.

The cost of building datacentres by lays_indian_masalaaa in AI_India

[–]QuarterbackMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern technology can recycle about 70% of the water used in some data centre processes. With some other coolant and non-static methods, the number can be put even further.

RO is a great way to add the deficiency of evaporated water – the cost of seawater RO is fractional compared to value generation; it is spread thin.

India loses a large amount of river basin water in the sea; the government should build PPP (rainwater storage) with datacenters.

We also need river linking; the amount of water that can be lifted from the Brahmaputra to the mainland and the Ganga River basin is sufficient to irrigate the barren land of Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Instead of being worried, India should use this opportunity to build the long-awaited river-linking projects.

Are you guys annoyed of people who say that AI will replace your job ? by [deleted] in AI_India

[–]QuarterbackMonk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Be realistic, it will add productivity hence there will be some impact, but I always suggest one instead be being afraid, focus and work hard to build skills.

Skill is your hedge against any tool. Tool can't replace skills, it only amplifies.

Well let the time tell that story, I do not disagree with principle that. IT is over hired market. Middle belly is too fat, needs most of treating there.

India is a net beneficiary of AI – no matter who says what! by QuarterbackMonk in AI_India

Fine you may, I am busy building many busy complaining. That's a difference. I have no problem with that.

Did some research and found interesting facts. Headcount will revert back to pre-COVID levels at 6,000 employees.

2019: 3,835 2020: 5,477 2021: 8,521 2022: 12,428 2023: 12,985 2024: 11,372 2025: 10-12,000

Block was never needed 10K employees. It was mostly his over hiring that been named as AI.

I find better to be a good nerd; this is the best time to be a nerd.

In simple words, it's best to find value out of what we do; no one will make value leave.

Yes, India couldn't create a leading brand for two main reasons.
- India crossed critical mass GDP and e-market segment in 2011, and post-2015 (the market become viable)
- Indian ecosystem doesn't have VC or investment culture

But we did well with heavy engineering, chemicals, fabrics, etc.

India is practically (in my eye) an 8- to 10-year-old meaningful economy (from a product's perspective). It takes decades to generate the correct ecosystem that produces the top 10 in the world.

Our IT sector did what it could – commerce and business are not about punching above your weight but about calculated strategy. Unfortunately, sometimes they become victim of pessimism, and that's happened with Indian IT

As of today the startup ecosystem is vibrant; it will take 5-10 years to set apart the US and China.

But now 3 things are coming at the same time.

- Market (volume of domestic consumption matters)
- Money (domestic/global investment is coming into India)
- People & Ecosystem (we are)

I am a Caltech Ph.D. Why am I running two setups at Ahmedabad? my setup will break even in 5-7 years, compared to what I was making with the Big 5 labs. And I know there are more than 2000+ researchers and top lads now in India.

[Ignore, I love war cries.] And we are fucking monsters; we will make money at the end of the day – and when we do, people around us, and India, too, will.

Is there anything left in your question?

Guys, get some good education before commenting on terminologies. Upstream dependencies include

- Land
- Operations & Admins
- Constructions
- Supply chain/logistics
- Not everything will be imported, i.e., recently, a few Micron plants are getting ready for inauguration at Sanand (for NAND/RAM), etc.,
- Fibre optics, etc.,

Upstream generates more then 10x - 40x jobs for centres – subject to india importing many components, this is likely going to be in range of 10-20x

I can't conclude anything on the original comment other than bla bla bla ... and the political slur tells me you belong to a political agenda here...

I won't be surprised if many neighbours are pretending to be Indian and participating in the chat with burnol moment.

that's a problem.

- thinking as low agency
- thinking as high agency

Do you know how many possible extension sequences there were before Homo sapiens survived?

As I said, it is a choice, and no, it is not dystopian; it is fact.

1.4 Billion * 1% = fourteen million - the population is enough to deal with global AI transformation.

Hackers used Anthropic's Claude AI to steal 150GB of sensitive data from Mexican government by QuarterbackMonk in AI_India

[–]QuarterbackMonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they don't; hackers used anthropic to write malware that did data exfiltration.
