Recently I was at Hyatt Regency and there were US GOV Diplomats that just landed in there, they cleared some places for them and we can easily Observe them.
Here are some fun facts i have seen from them:
• They all dress the same cloth to the point you can't even recognize the leader, they have badges for that. The Protocol is really visible!
• Not a SINGLE Person have an iPhone 17 of any kinds, Not even one!!! ... i am not even sure if they have iPhone 16
• they all carry the a brief case and they stand always in circle (FYI some military formation that is common)
• the respect they have for the Ushers is really amazing, really something that makes it Warm...

And you will see a Broke Dude having an iPhone 17 pro max , full of drama too... (the way they treat the ushers... DAMN)
They really teach you alot just by Observing...

Eid Mubarak to my Muslim peps!!!
Don't forget us in your ኩሬባ 😁😋

Plan to upskill your self, where the ai really not good at or staright bad at!

We have just Passed 50% of the Ethiopian calendar year, and 25% of the Gregorian Calendar year, and i am planning to do this in the time i have left in this year!

Personal Opinion but its literally the best time to upskill your self, as a data scientist.
People using Ai are becoming great at coding but Domain Expertise are becoming very rare, Like seriously RARE!!!!
Plan on learning the basics and start creating solutions from the core!!!

The way we solve problems are changing now!!!

A tiny change that makes your database feel like it hit the gym overnight, replace UUIDv4 with UUIDv7

Same uniqueness, but now your IDs actually respect time instead of chaos.

- Faster Inserts
- Lower index size
- Efficient cache
- Index fragmentation

You’re welcome 👀 you owe me T-bone stake for this advice 🙄

Just launched on Product Hunt 🔥

Would really appreciate your support.. drop an upvote if you can 🙏 .. It means a lot and helps more people discover what I’ve been building.

Recently Anthropic Doubled the Usage limits for the past 2 weeks, and when it ends they literally make the Models consume 100x....

Now you can hit the limit for Claude Max account with just 3 prompts!

Like seriously, they make the ceiling so low for the sessions, that users are reporting very short usage for this Claude Max accounts....

Anthropic is really becoming shady at this point, like Quite seriously!

Here is the LinkedIn post for more info

The truth about token limits!
Tldr; Ai is not getting affordable, unless there becomes a breakthrough!

For those who are learning to become a data scientist, here is exactly what they do at each level.

Great Explanation

🚀 BETA ACCESS IS LIVE! 🚀

The wait is over.

We have local models running on mobile before GTA 6. I just downloaded Gemma-4-E2B-it and Gemma3-1B-IT, and they seem to work really well.

@selfmadecoder

They should have done this long ago!

New framework lets AI agents rewrite their own skills without retraining the underlying model

Recently Anthropic team came to Ethiopia, I was invited for a meeting with them, and they were surprised by the startups and what we were doing!

I myself was surprised by the initiative from Anthropic to do this!
We got an unofficial answer for the main question:

when will Claude be UnBlocked in Ethiopia???

The Answer: "Stay Tuned"

So Thats a good progress so far, and they told us this is not the last meeting as well....!

Will keep you guys posted!

For anyone who wants the most solid VPN so far, Windscribe is the best, and they are offering the best discount of all time!

Go get your VPN.

Based on true story...

Just today I allowed claude to nuke all the failed containers and it literally Nuked everything...
Literally 3 data pipelines

1TB of clickhouse Database was gone too 😭

I.e dont trust Ai when it comes to containers or deployments!

Claude code is now back to the ProPlan!!

It didn't actually go well for Anthropic on removing it from the ProPlan!
