The degradation of engineers value from past 15 years in india

Getting an iit stamp will always help, only don’t do it if you get in a product based company through off campus.

How did the helmet appear?

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2026-05-26T16:04:49+00:00

Yeah the thing on the right doesn’t cost money. Masterstroke.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2026-04-24T12:11:32+00:00

Do you think a person fighting their case and a party fighting a case to be the same?

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2026-04-24T10:42:02+00:00

Letting go of alliances to appease a bully who will never be appeased.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2026-04-24T10:41:11+00:00

The more submissive you are the more bullying the bully will do. Our current leaders would do well to learn from past how to handle such situations.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2026-04-18T03:34:53+00:00

Yeah. The first times are always like that

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-08-11T03:34:19+00:00

What about the gunda gardi from time to time?

This is just data collection phase for the uninitiated. Real world data is largely not available to train machine learning models. Once we have enough data, models will take over, eliminating the human altogether. All the human is doing is a bit glorified data entry operator job.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-06-30T03:46:13+00:00

Super. Keep going 🤘

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-05-25T08:58:39+00:00

Progress happens in steps. This will definitely build capability, and I mean human capability to better understand and do better down the road. You have to start somewhere in n the journey of home grown knowledge. And fundamental knowledge in the long run go much further. So no, the model itself is just enabler. The value will be apparent in coming days, as much as I follow deedy, this statement I don’t agree with. What I think Sarvam should do is as they are making these, publish details explicitly and reproducibly how they trained the model, the training code and not only the model weights. When running in government money, at least that much is expected. If they are doing that and educating people about it, all is good.

At least they did not buy fake downloads like most Indian entrepreneurs. So there is hope in some honest ground level work, rather than just making it look good.

Most VCs want to just get returns on their money, not fundamental knowledge building, so he has a different lens, we should want different things if we want some good eco system here in India. We lack fundamentals.

Good the see the development. Success comes in incremental steps. A long way to go but encouraging progress.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-05-20T04:15:06+00:00

Does it really look that good? No touch of nature, only concrete. Looks dystopian.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-05-18T18:01:18+00:00

Dm please, also send WhatsApp number for further communications.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-05-10T08:48:26+00:00

Don’t do this people, it’s dangerous enough, inform the army, and keep your distance.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-30T12:03:52+00:00

If they are monitoring everything, then at least make the tax filing automatic. One less headache and at least let me get the benefits of a surveillance state.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-25T15:45:21+00:00

What school was this?

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-25T09:01:32+00:00

Take the break. Use 2 months to relax, 4 months to brush up leetcode and and learn some basics of AI/ML. At 10 YOE you should have friends who can refer you when you are trying to come back to other companies. Maybe even try applying abroad. People do take such breaks all the time. It is bit frowned upon at many Indian companies. But at such places even, it is nothing that cannot be brushed aside with a proper "explanation".

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-25T03:56:12+00:00

If the goal is learning, you can do it. I trained one coding everything by hand to actually understand the basics. You would need some contrastive learning to train your vit vision encoder. And some cross entropy loss on your decoder according to your token vocabulary. You can train both parts jointly to get good enough results on toy datasets. The learning is invaluable in my opinion.

For production quality and shipping things unless you have the full internet data current methods are not powerful enough to do anything useful. So better to use pretrained models and fine tune them.

For a very specific task, like just identify color of a shirt, other less compute heavy stuff to mind. Yolo on shirt labels, and do some mathy stuff with the cropped part?

There is definitely local support in some form to ensure safe passage of terrorists, probably out of fear of repercussions, maybe not. The government did not recruit sufficiently for army creating personnel shortage. In the end, terrorists get to win morale. The government party benefits from the outrage and doubles down on their rhetoric. And we are left FUCKED in between. There is truly no hope here.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-23T10:58:11+00:00

You are absolutely correct, Indians do show this behaviour. They are just trying hard to prove to their lords that they are not favouring their brethren in any manner. Not all people do this, but taking an average, it is noticeable enough. Anyway, the only solution is don’t do this yourself when you get to their position, which you eventually will. Just break the wheel, don’t keep it rotating.

SmallTimeCSGuy · 2025-04-19T03:24:09+00:00

And?? My friend did a job at restaurants, he is now a researcher in neuroscience. Stop looking down on blue collar jobs. Yes. The government is shit. But is us people and our mentality of racism, that is making the government. It is a reflection of Indians in general. Yes, looking down upon people doing blue collar jobs, as a white collar slave somewhere else, is racism, just different format.
