The bad news is, everything is temporary.

Which is also good news.

So, if things are going good, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. And if things are going bad, don’t worry. It can’t last forever either. ❤️🫶

Heraclitus said that

'no man ever steps into the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.'


The river might look the same, but the water is different. The cells in your body will come and go.

Your memories will fade and distort. Everything changes.

but the only constant is change itself

1 USD = 155 ETB.

No one here is paying me 155x my effort, so I stopped working with local clients like 1 and half year ago. (same for @Natyiu0). If you trust your skills and have solid projects (not just AI to do lists), go to YC startups, find early stage founders on LinkedIn or X, and DM them. Twitter Premium helps and its worth it.

If you’re good, you can land a $1k internship for 1–2 months. Go all in, and it can turn into a $3k–$4k full-time role. I’ve seen it happen. If you’re not there yet, build. 2–4 hours a day. One strong project every week for 4 weeks. Post on X (views don’t matter), then start DMing.

Keep building, make projects more complex over time. Just make side projects a habit. Rewire your brain.

A list of countries that have developed LLM-scale models trained from scratch, from initial pre-training on large datasets to a final usable stage (publicly released, privately deployed, or government-backed). These models are trained independently and are not based on fine-tuning existing foreign models.
