If someone still asked me what they should learn and invest all their energy in, I’d probably say maths, physics, computer science, and even hardware.
Even in the peak AI era, these fields are becoming increasingly important. Energy, resources, efficiency, integrated circuits, mathematics everything is going to make sooo much sense in the future.
I think the world is heading towards a new transition, where we might actually see flying cars, futuristic buildings, and even those Iron Man suits, haha.
The future feels so real because the surface area for experimentation is expanding so rapidly. It demands more intellectual people than ever before.

Game theory teaches: never enter a game you haven’t studied. Never show your hand before the money is on the table. And never play to be liked. Play to build so much leverage that the rules eventually stop applying to you entirely. Most people lose not because they are outworked but because they are outplayed. They do not understand the game they are in, they reveal too much too soon and they care more about approval than position. Learn the game first. Move quietly. Build until you have enough leverage to write your own rules.

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
-getting humiliated
-showing up terrified and doing it anyway
-admitting you might be the problem

btw we're doing weekly database paper reading sessions at @hydra_db now :)
every thursday, 4pm IST (10:30am UTC) on our discord. focusing mostly on consensus rn
if youre into distributed systems or databases, pull up to the discord (everyone's welcome) ^^

This is the least surprising graph in the world if you understand how gradient descent works.

It's here! Today I'm officially launching Yomu, an app that makes your daily reading easy.
- Bring your own blogs and articles and read them inside Yomu
- Uses your local agents (Codex, Claude, OpenCode, etc.) so you can ask any question mid-reading
- Bookmark and save an article to the Yomu folder in your browser, and it automatically appears in the app
-Upload any research paper PDF and get a stable UI for long reading sessions
-Customize the theme and make it look the way you like
And many more!

The thing I learned this year is that when engineers say they like working on “hard problems”, they actually don't. What they like is puzzle solving, and having a repertoire of patterns that they can pattern match onto traditionally hard problems, usually involving databases or something with scale, etc. And they know that the industry used to pay you a lot for how deep and broad this repertoire was. Unfortunately, in 2026, well, you have a cheat code machine that has infinite breadth and depth for pattern matching. So the question is, do you actually like hard problems? Because there are now hard problems that are a complection of engineering, product, society, culture, politics, and they are fairly intractable, probably unsolvable! Because if you do want to work on those actually hard problems, there is so much money that people will pay you for it. But you’ll have to face that truth about yourself first.

the potential I see in other people isn’t real. It is a projection of what I would have done in their position.

[notes to self; pls ignore]
one thing i keep coming back to again and again is that just because it was a bad day (hell even smth as tiny as a bad exam) doesnt mean its a bad life
one thing the brain tends to do if given the chance is to start creating relationships between things even if theyre not connected just for the sake of justifying itself, and this from my own experience leads to the feeling of living a "bad life"
or if i were to summarize the entire paragraph above: the brain loves to overthink
and however its good to sit w those thoughts whatever side they may be on (positive or negative), i think you have to learn to live w them and the simplest way to do that is to just keep moving (not literally. as in just keep doing something where your brain is actually occupied)
it might help to have a hobby, to have people who care for you, to be "living the life", but i think coming to terms w these things is the best way to go about it than just suppressing them on and on
literally just sleep and youll be good lil bro
okay bye
