Hi! I'm a developer with ~4 years of professional experience currently finishing up a
Masters degree in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, India.
Previously, I have worked in the finance domain handling large amounts of data mainly in a
vector-oriented programming language and columnar database called q/kdb+.
Apart from q/kdb+, I worked with Python, bash/ksh and Java in my previous roles.
During my Masters, I've been diving deeper into systems level programming including Rust, C, C++,
vectorization with SIMD (x86 intrinsics), parallel programming (OpenMP, TBB), GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL),
compilers (I've started contributing a few fixes to the Rust GCC backend) and the Linux kernel.
If you are looking for a fast learner who can contribute to your gpu/compiler/other systems project,
I would potentially fit the bill.
I tried it out on a Hindi speech (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EpfJxKyosE). The transcription starts off decent, but kind of gets stuck repeating the same thing at the 02:40 mark:
[00:00.000 --> 00:10.000] पचास ताल में हमने प्रगती किये, इससे को इंटार नहीं कर सकता।
[00:10.000 --> 00:20.000] छुनाओ के दौरान वोट मांगते हुए, सरकार की नीतियों पर कठोर से कठोर प्रहार करते हुए,
[00:20.000 --> 00:28.000] और पुरानी सरकार की नीतियों नहीं आलोचना करने के लिए लैक बहुत सामग्री थी।
[00:28.000 --> 00:35.000] हर जगे मैंने ये कहा कि मैं उन लोगों में से नहीं हूँ, जो पचास वर्च की उपलड्यों पर पानी फिर दे।
[00:35.000 --> 00:43.000] ऐसा करना देश के पुर्षार्थ पर पानी फिरना होगा। ऐसा करना देश के किसान के साथ अन्याय करना होगा।
[00:43.000 --> 01:01.000] मल्दूर के साथ जात्ती करनी होगा। आम आद्मी के साथ भी वो अच्छा व्योहार नहीं होगा। जो स्वाल आज मन में उच्छा है और उच्छना चाही है। आदावी को पचास साथ होने आये, हम जैनती मनाने जा रहे हैं।
[01:01.000 --> 01:18.000] आज देश की स्तिती क्या है। हम पिछर के होगे हैं। प्रगती की दोड़ में, जो देश हमारे साथ आजाद हुए थे, वो हम से आगे बढ़ के। जो देश हमारे बाच जन में थे, वो हमें पीचे छोड़ थे।
[01:18.000 --> 01:34.000] दुनिया के गरी तम देशों में हमारी गड़न आये। वीस फीज़ी से जाना लो गरीबी की रेका के नीचे। राक्तपती महुदाय के विभाशन में गाऊं का उल्लेक हैं ना पीरे का पानी नहीं।
[01:34.000 --> 01:50.000] हम प्राथमी शिक्षा अनिवारे नहीं कर सकते हैं। लड्कियों की शिक्षा की उपेक्षा हो रही हैं। लड्कि का जन्म लेना तो इस देश में अभी तक एक अभिशाप है।
[01:50.000 --> 02:07.000] क्या सरकारी कदम उठाकर समाज में जाग्दृती पैदा करकें। क्या सब लोगों को जुटाकर ये तो ऐसा काम है जिस में कोई दलबंदी के लिए इस्थान नहीं। हम देश का नक्षा नहीं बदल सकते हैं। देश में साधनों की कमी नहीं है।
[02:07.000 --> 02:07.000] और साधनों की अगर कमी है तो उसको ठीक दन्त से प्राप्त किया जा सकता है। साधन बड़ाए भी जा सकते है। लेकिन जो साधन हैं उनका ठीक उपयोग नहीं हो रहा। जंता के उपर टेक्स लगाकर जो दन्नि कप्ता किया जाता है। उसका लाग जंता तक नहीं पहु
[02:37.000 --> 02:37.000] रख्कम जाती है। विदेशी बैंको में दन जाने का सिल्सिला अभी तक क्यों काएं है। उसको लोकने के लिए क्या कदम उठाएगे। हम विदेशी पूजी के लिए प्रैत्रशील हैं विदेशी पूजी आए और अगर विदेशी पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की टेक
[03:07.000 --> 03:07.000] अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है
[03:37.000 --> 03:39.000] अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है
[04:07.000 --> 04:09.000] अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है
[04:37.000 --> 04:39.000] अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है अच्छे दन्त की पूजी आती है
The translation does a much better job however:
[00:00.000 --> 00:10.000] In the last 50 years, we have made progress, no one can deny this.
[00:10.000 --> 00:20.000] During the elections, while asking for votes, while attacking the government's policies harshly,
[00:20.000 --> 00:28.000] and to criticize the policies of the old government, a lot of material was needed.
[00:28.000 --> 00:35.000] Everywhere, I have said that I am not one of those people who pour water on the fruits of 50 years.
[00:35.000 --> 00:39.000] To do this, we will have to pour water on the efforts of the country.
[00:39.000 --> 00:43.000] To do this, we will have to do injustice with the farmers of the country.
[00:43.000 --> 00:45.000] We will have to do caste with the laborers.
[00:45.000 --> 00:50.000] Even with the common man, that will not be a good behavior.
[00:50.000 --> 00:55.000] The question that arises in the mind today and should arise,
[00:55.000 --> 01:01.000] Freedom has come to be 50 years, we are going to celebrate.
[01:01.000 --> 01:04.000] What is the situation of the country today?
[01:04.000 --> 01:07.000] Why did we get separated?
[01:07.000 --> 01:14.000] In the race of progress, the country that got freedom along with us, they went ahead of us.
[01:14.000 --> 01:19.000] The country that was after us, they left us behind.
[01:19.000 --> 01:25.000] In the poorest countries of the world, they counted us.
[01:25.000 --> 01:29.000] 20% of the population is below the poverty line.
[01:29.000 --> 01:35.000] In the speech of the President, there is no mention of villages or drinking water.
[01:35.000 --> 01:39.000] We cannot enforce primary education.
[01:39.000 --> 01:43.000] The education of girls is being neglected.
[01:43.000 --> 01:50.000] The birth of a girl is still a curse in this country.
[01:50.000 --> 01:55.000] Is it by taking government steps, by creating awareness in the society?
[01:55.000 --> 02:01.000] Is it by uniting all the people that there is no place for party?
[02:01.000 --> 02:05.000] Can't we change the map of the country?
[02:05.000 --> 02:08.000] There is no shortage of resources in the country.
[02:08.000 --> 02:14.000] And if there is a shortage of resources, it can be obtained in the right way, resources can be increased.
[02:14.000 --> 02:21.000] But the resources that are there, they are not being used properly.
[02:21.000 --> 02:30.000] The wealth that is collected by taxing the public, its profit does not reach the public, it does not reach the common man.
[02:30.000 --> 02:32.000] Where does it go?
[02:32.000 --> 02:35.000] Whose pockets are filled?
[02:35.000 --> 02:39.000] Whose treasury does that money go to?
[02:39.000 --> 02:44.000] Why is the chain of money going to foreign banks still established?
[02:44.000 --> 02:47.000] What steps have been taken to stop it?
[02:47.000 --> 02:52.000] We are motivated for foreign worship, foreign worship has come.
[02:52.000 --> 03:01.000] And if foreign worship comes for good technology, for infrastructure,
[03:01.000 --> 03:06.000] for education, then no one will object.
[03:06.000 --> 03:11.000] I believe that our communist friends will not object either.
[03:11.000 --> 03:19.000] But is the maximum use of the resources in the country happening?
[03:19.000 --> 03:26.000] Is it not true that corruption has become a national disease?
[03:26.000 --> 03:31.000] I remember that Swargi Rajiv Gandhi had said in a speech that I send one rupee from Delhi,
[03:31.000 --> 03:36.000] but where I send the rupee, as I reach there, 19 paise are left.
[03:36.000 --> 03:41.000] I asked him how this miracle happens.
[03:41.000 --> 03:47.000] Bhaskar said that when the rupee runs, it shrinks.
[03:47.000 --> 03:54.000] The rupee shrinks, it gets into the hand, it goes into the pocket, it becomes small.
[03:54.000 --> 03:58.000] It is difficult to recognize the rupee.
[03:58.000 --> 04:02.000] The rupee can be hidden.
[04:02.000 --> 04:06.000] The situation of the currency of the country is not good.
[04:06.000 --> 04:10.000] First, the government expenditure has increased, it is increasing.
[04:10.000 --> 04:17.000] It needs common consent to reduce without reducing.
[04:17.000 --> 04:24.000] No one can work in the same way.
[04:24.000 --> 04:27.000] Yes, our old Prime Minister Narasimha Raoji,
[04:27.000 --> 04:34.000] if he would have tried in this direction after stabilizing himself, then he would have succeeded.
[04:34.000 --> 04:47.000] But he was stuck in some such things that he could not pay attention to these problems.
I did! There are a few places it transcribes incorrectly, but overall I'm very impressed. Here's the first ~30 seconds:
[00:00.000 --> 00:09.000] Look, I was going to go easy on you, not to hurt your feelings, but I'm only going to get this one chance.
[00:09.000 --> 00:11.000] Something's wrong, I can feel it.
[00:11.000 --> 00:17.000] It's just a feeling I've got, like something's about to happen, but I don't know what.
[00:17.000 --> 00:21.000] If that means what I think it means, we're in trouble, big trouble.
[00:21.000 --> 00:24.000] Had to be as bananas as you say, I'm not taking any chances.
[00:24.000 --> 00:26.000] You're just one to die for.
[00:26.000 --> 00:32.000] I'm beginning to feel like a rap god, rap god. All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod.
I found the introductory chapters (1-3) of this book[0] quite good. It is different from the NVIDIA CUDA C++ guide in that it uses modern C++ and has non-trivial real-world examples.
I also wrote a blog post [1] exploring CUDA to write a simple CNN inference module which you might find useful.
