The audacity of the govt to threaten citizens with 3 months imprisonment for an expired pollution certificate while forcing us to breathe 400 AQI air everyday.

Though I haven’t yet read Sonia Gandhi’s personal memoir “Belonging”, yet; I can imagine that it must be unputdownable & a more gripping story that any novel can be.
What an absolutely remarkable life!
An Italian marrying the son of an Indian PM. Then seeing the emergency and Mrs Gandhi going out of power. Then seeing her going to jail and her remarkable political comeback. Then seeing her assassination & her dying in her arms!
Then seeing her husband become the PM in the biggest political landslide ever. Then watching him lose the election & then being brutally assassinated. Then as she watched the Congress party disintegrate, she reluctantly took the reins of the party & led to its revival & return to power. She abdicated her natural claim to be the PM in favour of Manmohan Singh. Yet she shepherded 5 remarkable pro people laws (The RTI Act; NREGA; The food security Act; the Forest Rights Act; The new land Acquisition Act), through her National Advisory Council. Then finally watched the Congress party humiliated & the rise to power of Modi/Shah who brought in their own brand of communal fascism. All through this, she was subjected to the worst kind of abuse & name calling.
There is little doubt that this personal memoir will cause a political earthquake in India!

Sorry guys. Software engineering and programming are dead. You just need to have perfect specs, unchanging requirements, an agentic deployment framework for high frequency releasing, and engineers with good taste and judgement.

I have been increasingly concerned about digital mental health therapy tools (eg. chatbots) being released to the public without any regulation.

We've supported and invested in healthcare businesses from hospitals, care delivery to diagnostics, therapeutics and preventive health across nutrition, fitness and sports. Almost 45+ companies trying to help people live healthier lives. One thing I've realised is that healthcare needs two kinds of people who don't always agree with each other. Entrepreneurs who are optimistic enough to believe they can solve problems that have existed for decades and doctors and scientists who are sceptical enough to demand evidence before accepting those solutions. And we desperately need more of both in India.
India needs a lot of time and attention from people outside the government to fix and solve for our healthcare needs. And we also have enormous opportunity to become a country that doesn't just consume medical innovation but creates it. It will happen not because entrepreneurs prove doctors wrong or doctors prove entrepreneurs wrong. It'll happen when both are willing to prove their ideas right, together, through evidence. Btw, i think most doctors are default entrepreneurs.
One of the worst things we could do to India's healthcare ecosystem is make entrepreneurs afraid of attempting difficult scientific problems. The second worst thing would be allowing them to make scientific claims without evidence. India desperately needs more entrepreneurs willing to take difficult scientific bets. But it also needs a culture where extraordinary healthcare claims are subjected to extraordinary scientific scrutiny.

When drugs (medicines) and devices (stents) have to undergo rigourous testing & approval from regulatory bodies before being marketed, why are some devices sold by tech snake oil sales people using pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo not regulated in a similar manner?

Under the direction of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @DKShivakumar , the Department of Legal Metrology conducted inspections across Karnataka to verify ethanol blending levels in petrol.
At today’s press conference, shared the laboratory findings revealing 31.2% ethanol blending in IOCL and 30.5% in HPCL, exceeding 20%.
Raised serious concerns over transparency, regulatory compliance and consumers’ right to know what goes into their fuel.
ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳಾದ ಶ್ರೀ ಡಿ.ಕೆ. ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶನದಂತೆ, ಕಾನೂನು ಮಾಪನಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ ಇಲಾಖೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಾದ್ಯಂತ ಪೆಟ್ರೋಲ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಥನಾಲ್ ಮಿಶ್ರಣದ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಲು ತಪಾಸಣೆ ನಡೆಸಿತು.
ಇಂದು ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಾ ವರದಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, IOCL ನಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇ.31.2 ಹಾಗೂ HPCL ನಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇ.30.5ರಷ್ಟು ಎಥನಾಲ್ ಮಿಶ್ರಣ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿರುವುದನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದೆ.
ತೈಲ ಕಂಪನಿಗಳ ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕತೆ, ನಿಯಮ ಪಾಲನೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಗ್ರಾಹಕರ ಹಕ್ಕುಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ಗಂಭೀರ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಲಾಯಿತು.

I don't want to give this more oxygen than it deserves, but this is the antithesis of what a creator response should be when it comes to expert opinion. None of these arguments make scientific sense, (not even marketing sense) but techbros will be techbros 🤷🏼

Postman's desktop app installed plugins behind the scenes into people's Claude Code and Codex, including a startup note telling the agent to use Postman for any API work
Pretty wild that any app on your laptop can now change how your coding agent behaves.

The day I “prompted” a human to “not use AI”.
Context: I've been frustrated with some people.
When I ask for analysis or work output, they ask AI to help them. That’s great!
But then they don't go deep into validating what it generated, and just send me that output.
I see it and it reeks AI, and I ask a few questions that then lead them to asking others questions. They should have asked those questions already. They should know the answers!
So last week I asked someone to do some analysis for me, and at the end, I added, "Don't use AI."
Today I realize that is a new addition to my “prompt” to other humans. To add, "Don't use AI” as part of my instruction.
Fun times, right? 🤣

Wishing you a safe surgery and speedy recovery, Pope Leo. As you rightfully trust doctors and science-based medicine to treat your early-stage lung nodule, please use this moment to condemn pastors, spiritual leaders and faith healers who mislead vulnerable patients into rejecting life-saving medical care in the name of religion and faith across the world and especially in India.
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
