eMudhra private key was just “4”
Wtf? What an unserious CA.
This 13-foot wall ecosystem of India continues to do cybersecurity from kindergarten

😊 I also just uploaded a new version of the lecture notes. cs229.stanford.edu/main_note… (it's still, and perhaps will always be work-in-progress, given the field is moving fast. Any mistakes are mine :) and any feedback is more than welcome :).
Instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this Stanford lecture. It’s the clearest end-to-end explanation I’ve seen of how ChatGPT and Claude are actually built.
From tokenization and BPE all the way to the transformer architecture, training pipeline, and next-token decoding.
Whether you’ve never written a line of AI code or you’ve been shipping agents every day, this 2h 34min session will click things into place that most people take years to figure out.
Bookmark it and clear the time this weekend, because this might be the single most valuable thing you learn all month.

I’m fascinated by Dr. Shubha V. Iyengar because she literally helps planes land through fog while most of us are learning to move through metaphorical fog.
Topper in BSc & MSc, backed by parents who encouraged her interest in science when girls rarely were inspired to pursue it.
40+ years at CSIR–NAL & she led the team that developed Drishti, built for India’s fog, rain, dust, and uncertainty.
When the world feels unclear, remember: someone built systems so others could land safely.
She is my #MondayMotivation

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

The lesson?
In tech, being first doesn't matter. Being best doesn't matter.
Scale matters. Distribution matters. Pricing matters. Ecosystem matters.
Joyent had the technology to change the world.
Amazon had everything else.

BREAKING: 🇮🇳 PayPal partners with NPCI International to simplify cross-border payments.
Indians can now use UPI to shop at international stores that accept PayPal.

Eat one meal less if needed, but always prefer traveling by car instead of a two-wheeler.
Avoid crowded places at all costs, and use a two-wheeler only when absolutely necessary. Stay at the extreme left and remain highly cautious around larger vehicles.
There is no other way! You are on your own. Please understand. 🙏

Already said this. Now the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has made it official. Some of my patients were spending close to 4000 rupees for a liter of A2 milk.
It's milk. Not A1, not A2, not single origin.
It's just goddamn milk. Every A2 milk fraudster seller out there is going crazy that their swindling business is going bust. You can fool people for a limited time only!

If any of you want to test or see what APIs for BBPS, UPI, PAN, GST, Bank Verification, Digilocker, eSign, Account Aggregator looks like, go to api-playground.setu.co/ right away. Test without writing a single line of code! @Setu_API @amrishrau

AI video has started to produce mindblowing results and could eventually disrupt Hollywood. (PT8)
Here are the best AI videos I've found:

Have you ever seen such positive news about fees in a medical college being high? Or about doctors earning good salary?
The starting salary after MBBS is as low as 10-20k per month. Nowhere to the tune of 15-20lakh per annum being spoken here for post Btech!
How does this society feel so comfortable advising a life saving doctor to live for ideals and not look for money, while gloating at engineer salaries?
#Hypocrisy
