Same. The alarm is already set.

This will be me this week for sure.

Answer. I worked full time while starting my side gig. Back then it was just fun. I pursued streaming because I loved it. Schedule: 5 am: wake up 6 am: at Netflix HQ 4 pm: leave HQ 4:20pm: hang with kids 7:00pm put kids to bed / read to them -------- 3 nights a week I did streaming from 8pm to ~midnight, sometimes later I truly did it for the love of the game and I wouldn't recommend anyone to this lifestyle, but I wanted it. I absolutely abused myself and my body because on the weekends I wanted to be with my family. During this time I had three kids and later on my wife was pregnant with a fourth. It was absolutely one of the harder parts of my life, but I would not trade it for anything

Good morning my lovely friends from Kodiaga. We left Ahero 3:45. Watu wa maseno we passed there 6:00 and snapped by the Equator. Busia is apprx 50 km from here. I am thankful for your support. Kampala tunafika leo

This is what a Senior SWE at Bloomberg's GitHub profile looks like

I will spend at Ahero. Kisumu is 20 km away. My friend who had decided to ride with me from Nakuru to Busia got a nasty puncture at Awasi and fixing it took a lot of time Thanks once again for your support. To be continued guys. Kampala is 325km away na nitafika kesho

Dad developers. How can you even work at home when you have a kid and a pregnant wife who are always interrupting you? Yes, I have my own office. But it seems like they are mistaking it for a hallway or something.

10 days in China and haven’t seen a single pothole or broken road

Niulize Ile swali? Haiyaa, umeachieve Nini this year worth celebrating?

Over the past several weeks, I've been back in the lab working crazy hours like old times, and loving life. This was much needed. I'm happy ;-) If I'm not programming, hands-on with robots/hardware for many hours a day, I feel a bit lost and less able to think clearly about the world. It's just how my brain is built. I think it's because engineering humbles me to the reality of the world. I need both literature & engineering in my life 🤣 I love both, and both are a source of truth. I'm still doing the podcast, just adding much more engineering back into the mix ;-) The podcast gives me an opportunity to celebrate great scientists, engineers, and builders. This is one of the things I love doing most. In the coming months, I'll continue splitting time between MIT and Caltech (Boston & LA) working with some brilliant people. The focus of the work is human-robot interaction with quadrupeds and humanoid robots. I'll also likely be at NeurIPS in San Diego this year. If you want to chat over coffee in Boston, LA, or San Diego for NeurIPS or have guest suggestions in those places, please fill out the coffee or guest forms respectively (see link in comment). For NeurIPS, please choose the "NeurIPS 2025" option for special event in the form.

🚨 DeepSeek just did something wild. They built an OCR system that compresses long text into vision tokens literally turning paragraphs into pixels. Their model, DeepSeek-OCR, achieves 97% decoding precision at 10× compression and still manages 60% accuracy even at 20×. That means one image can represent entire documents using a fraction of the tokens an LLM would need. Even crazier? It beats GOT-OCR2.0 and MinerU2.0 while using up to 60× fewer tokens and can process 200K+ pages/day on a single A100. This could solve one of AI’s biggest problems: long-context inefficiency. Instead of paying more for longer sequences, models might soon see text instead of reading it. The future of context compression might not be textual at all. It might be optical 👁️ github. com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR
