Gaurav Dahiya reacted on thisGaurav Dahiya reacted on thisYesterday was my last day at Meta after nearly a decade. I joined the company as an intern conversion and managed to hang on through 10 years, 4 promos, 20 performance cycles, more reorgs than I could count, all while being fortunate enough to stick to 2 (ish) managers through that whole journey. I'm often asked what was the deciding factor that kept me at the company so long, and the answer is undoubtedly the people. In my time at the company, I've had the opportunity to bump shoulders with some truly incredible people. Many of whom I credit with much of the personal and professional growth I've experienced throughout the last decade. I'll be taking some time off before my next role to travel a bit and see some of the family before I hop into my next role!

Gaurav Dahiya reacted on thisAgree with Sundeep Peechu here. The more important question for me is, is it healthy? Not just for the individuals who are pushing themselves to the limit but also for the company and its culture? My take is, it depends on the "why". Lot of over achievers tie their self worth to their output/success. Most of them are prob over achievers because of this. When people push themselves to their limit, almost as a survival mechanism, it leads to burnout at an individual level and a constant churn of your rock star employees from the company's perspective. However if it's done for the love of the art, mission, curiosity, impact, even competition... anything but self worth then it can be an amazing self growth experience. The hard part is, how do you create a culture that incentives/promotes the second approach and not the first one.Gaurav Dahiya reacted on thisPeople tend to work way harder when they are not the smartest ones in the room. It’s why the output in talent dense startups appears so much greater than normal.

Gaurav Dahiya liked thisGaurav Dahiya liked thisI’ve lived in the Bay Area for a while — back when I was in a 3bd townhouse in Mountain View, we never once saw an electricity bill over $100/person in three years. Fast forward to this winter: I’m living alone in a 2bd apartment in Palo Alto, and suddenly I’m staring at a $280 bill. That didn’t track. So I pulled my PGE data and ran it through Atta — our agentic product that turns raw usage data into actual answers. The result? This heatmap showing exactly how much my heater was costing me, day by day. $420.61 just for heating over the winter. Some days spiked past $17. No way I would’ve seen that from a utility bill alone. This is exactly why we’re building Atta — not for energy tracking per se, but for BizOps folks who live and breathe data. AI. Apps. Analytics. For operations teams who drive results with data, but are stuck stitching together broken tools and dashboards that don't talk to each other. We’re in early beta sending out invites! If that resonates, would love to hear what you're solving.

Named Entity Recogniser with Crawler
Developed a Named Entity Recogniser using Hidden Markov Model which understood the need for external knowledge resources and non‐local features to leverage the multiple occurrences of named entities like Person, Location and Organisation in any text without use of any dictionaries. This project automates the process of lookup and identification of the entities by linking to a comprehensive crawler that can be made to perform various kinds of crawling as per the need and usage.

Content-Aware Saliency and Image Re-targeting

Content aware image retargeting methods intelligently modify the aspect ratio of images while preserving the visually important features. The seam carving algorithm [Shamir et al. (2007)[3]] finds an optimal 8 connected path from the top to bottom of the image for horizontal resizing or from left to right for vertical resizing. This optimization is done by using a visual importance map (energy function). While, existing works have primarily used the gradient magnitude as the visual importance…
Content aware image retargeting methods intelligently modify the aspect ratio of images while preserving the visually important features. The seam carving algorithm [Shamir et al. (2007)[3]] finds an optimal 8 connected path from the top to bottom of the image for horizontal resizing or from left to right for vertical resizing. This optimization is done by using a visual importance map (energy function). While, existing works have primarily used the gradient magnitude as the visual importance map, we employ segmentation and content aware visual saliency features in addition to the gradient magnitude intensity to define a state of the art energy function. This use of additional features result in improved preservation of the visually salient regions and also their immediate context. In this report, we presented this novel technique for image retargeting and compared our results with those by other prominent researchers in the field.

H-1B Workers AND Layoffs Senators Want Answers From Big Tech on H-1B Workers, Layoffs Letters were sent to Amazon, Apple and other big companies from top lawmakers on Judiciary Committee The H-1B system, created in 1990, is the primary pathway for foreign professionals to work in the U.S. Roughly 700,000 people currently live in the country on H-1B visas, according to a National Foundation for American Policy analysis of government data, with technology firms among the biggest users. Most H-1B holders are from India and China. Amazon, the largest H-1B sponsor in the U.S., won approval for more than 14,000 new hires on the visa in fiscal 2025—the most of any company—even as it has announced layoffs affecting tens of thousands of jobs in recent years. “With all of the homegrown American talent relegated to the sidelines, we find it hard to believe that Amazon cannot find qualified American tech workers to fill these positions,” the senators wrote to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Aside from Amazon, Apple, and JP Morgan, the other companies receiving letters included Deloitte, Alphabet’s Google, Meta, Microsoft, Walmart, Cognizant Technology Solutions and Tata Consultancy Services. The firms were asked to respond by Oct. 10.

To everyone on H-1B feeling anxious right now I know the new order has created a lot of worry. But please — don’t panic. Many news articles and LinkedIn posts are jumping straight to conclusions without really digging into the actual language. The executive order has a lot of “in-between the lines” details, and it will take time for lawyers and experts to interpret what it truly means. For now, many are advising not to travel outside the U.S. until there’s more clarity. And to those posting random takes without expertise — please don’t spread unnecessary fear. It doesn’t help anyone Let’s hold off on reacting to every headline and wait for trusted updates from legal experts. We’ll all get a clearer picture soon. Update : The White House Press Secretary has now clarified a few key points: 1️⃣ This is not an annual fee — it’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition. 2️⃣ Current H-1B holders outside the U.S. will not be charged $100,000 to re-enter. Their ability to travel remains unchanged. 3️⃣ This applies only to new visas in the next lottery cycle, not renewals or current visa holders. This should help clear some of the confusion. Still, let’s keep relying on official sources and legal experts instead of jumping to conclusions. #h1b #executiveorder

Almost anything can be built now. 🚀 That’s no longer the hard part. AI has collapsed the cost of execution. Prototypes in hours. Features in days. Shipping feels easy — sometimes deceptively so. What hasn’t changed: • Customers still ignore features 👀 • Attention is still scarce ⏳ • Adoption is still hard 📉 At scale, the risk isn’t slow delivery — it’s mistaking output for impact. I see teams add AI features because they’re easy to build, not because they change a meaningful user decision. Roadmaps expand. Velocity looks good. Outcomes don’t. When buildability explodes, judgment becomes the bottleneck ⚖️ This is where the TPM leverage lives: • Shaping bets, not just plans 🎯 • Forcing clarity on outcomes before teams commit • Applying restraint when marginal value is low ✋ Execution still matters. But in a world where anything can be built, deciding what not to build is the leadership skill. The hardest question isn’t “Can we ship this?” It’s “What happens if this ships?” 🤔
