Yong Hua Tan liked thisYong Hua Tan liked thisYesterday, I turned thirty — a year truly full of learning. The year leading up to this milestone was the most challenging time of my life so far. It felt as though life was moving at full speed, with many changes happening all at once. However, amidst the chaos came clarity. The toughest period taught me the most. It made me slow down, reflect deeply, and appreciate life in a new way. Here are ten lessons I have taken away from the past year. I hope they resonate with anyone going through a difficult time. Tough times do pass. 1. You are stronger than you think. Even when you do not feel it, you are. Simply showing up every day is proof of that. Be your own biggest supporter, especially when no one else can see the weight you carry. 2. There is always a way out. Even when everything feels stuck or hopeless, do not give up. The solution might not be immediate or obvious, but it does exist. 3. Be the captain of your own sail. Only you define yourself and decide how your life unfolds. Do not let anyone else write your story. 4. Time and energy are limited. Protect both. Spend them wisely — on people, goals, and experiences that truly matter. 5. Logic over emotions. Your emotions are valid and worth acknowledging, but do not stay stuck in them. Sometimes, logic helps more. Focus on what you can control — real change begins with action. 6. Have the courage to be yourself. It is not always easy in a noisy and pressuring world. However, staying true to who you are is powerful. 7. Owning your voice may shrink your social circle. When you form your own opinions, people’s views may polarize - And that is perfectly okay. Your vibe attracts your tribe. Staying true to yourself and being authentic will naturally draw the right people to you. 8. The right people make all the difference. Surround yourself with those who energize, uplift, and believe in you. A strong support system is vital, especially during hard times. 9. Own your insecurities. When you stop hiding your insecurities and start owning them, you take away anyone’s power to use them against you, and they cease to be insecurities. 10. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Every experience teaches something. When things go wrong, shift your focus from blame to learning. Ask yourself what the best lesson is that you can take from each experience. I would like to end this post with a quote from Steve Jobs that really resonates with me: “You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” Everything happens for a reason. Trust the process, even when it does not make sense in the moment. Here is to living life intentionally and focusing on what truly matters. If you have read this far, thank you, and I wish you a lovely week ahead. P/S Photos taken yesterday at Xiangshan (Mt. Elephant) and Taipei 101 — the perfect way to start this new chapter.

Yong Hua Tan liked thisYong Hua Tan liked this🔥Researchers at MIT just introduced a language model that trains itself Also, it doesn’t need human-labeled data to improve. It generates its own training set, decides how to learn from it, and updates its own weights - all autonomously. Here’s how it works: 1. Reads a task or passage 2. Writes a custom “self-edit” (data + finetuning plan) 3. Finetunes itself using that 4. Evaluates the result and iterates And it works: ✅Beat GPT-4.1-generated data on a QA benchmark ✅Boosted accuracy from 33.5% → 47% ✅Hit 72.5% success on abstract reasoning tasks It’s not just answering questions, it’s designing its own training. That’s a whole new level of autonomy for LLMs. So if models can now update themselves… what’s our role in the loop? 🔍 Explore top MCP servers and start building powerful AI agents today! https://hubs.li/Q03sRFkL0 #artificialintelligence #llm #machinelearning #aiagent #genai #mit

Yong Hua Tan liked thisYong Hua Tan liked thisStateful vs Stateless Design — What's the Difference? Stateless design is a powerful model that has led to the development of simple yet highly scalable and efficient applications. “State” refers to stored information that systems use to process requests. This information can change over time as users interact with the application or as system events occur. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? Stateful applications store data like user IDs, session information, configurations, and preferences to help process requests for a given user. A stateful design allows applications to provide a personalized experience to their users while removing the need to share data across multiple requests. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 As applications grew in complexity and received increasing amounts of traffic, the limitations of stateful design became apparent. Managing and maintaining session data adds significant performance overhead and complexity to a system. This complexity made it difficult for systems to scale horizontally as sharing state across multiple instances becomes a challenge. The rapid need for scalability and efficiency drove the popularity of stateless design. Instead of having mechanisms for state management, requests contained all the information needed to process it. This allowed systems to handle high levels of requests while adding flexibility to how the system scales, making it more resource efficient. The key applications of stateless design have been pivotal in several areas: ↳ Microservices & serverless computing: they exemplify statelessness, enabling services and functions to operate independently, thus enhancing scalability and resource efficiency. ↳ RESTful APIs & CDNs: by each API call or request containing all necessary information, stateless design simplifies operations & improves content delivery speeds. However, stateless design also presents certain challenges: • Larger request sizes: the need to include complete data in each request can result in increased data transfer, affecting performance. • Transmission inefficiencies: constantly sending full data sets can be less efficient than accessing centralized data in stateful designs. • Not always ideal: in scenarios inherently requiring state, such as complex user interactions, stateless design can add more complexity instead of simplifying the process. 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮 𝗵𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 between stateful and stateless design depending on the needs and constraints of each component. The key to a well-designed system is balance. It should be scalable, simple, and fast without sacrificing functionality. ~~ Thanks to our partner Render who keeps our content free to the community.

Yong Hua Tan liked thisYong Hua Tan liked thisThrilled to have presented at the APAC Partner Kick-off on February 1st! I’m grateful for the opportunity to showcase and delve into the technical intricacies of Kaspersky SIEM (KUMA) and XDR, showcasing the power of robust cybersecurity solutions. SIEM and XDR solutions has been available in the market for some time but its significance is being amplified by the current environment. Aptly put forward by Joyce Harkness , Director, Cybersecurity, Asia, Australia and NZ, during her presentation was that the cybersecurity industry is currently grappling with a multitude of challenges such as shortage of talents, tightening government regulations, industrialization of cyber crime and scale amplified by new technology trends, AI and synthetic media. Organizations nowadays have to start thinking of adopting and integrating technological tools and AI capabilities to keep up with the ever-evolving threat landscape and improve the efficiency of your IT team. Technologies such as SIEM and XDR plays a vital role in enhancing organization’s cybersecurity posture by improving threat detection (using AI capabilities), incident response capabilities, and overall security visibility. Provision of dashboard and reporting, and having capabilities to generate alerts based on predefined rules and correlation activities allows your IT team to focus on the important aspects: Incident response If you are keen to bolster your organization’s cybersecurity capabilities, feel free to check out the following link https://lnkd.in/gYxW4qvS Adrian HiaErnest ChaiBulat SiraevChristine ChongSiang Tiong (姚祥忠) YEOTAKEO KOBAYASHIJaydeep SinghGenie Sugene GanDerek TayBridget HuangTako Nijssen
