Are drills happening today also? Hearing sirens at 9.40 pm in Panchkula.

@police_haryana any government accounts that specifically publishes about drills and updates on the ongoing situations?

What are the building blocks of GenAI? Unless we understand AI primitives, we won’t build truly AI-native apps. 🧩 Chat UIs 🧠 Generative models 📚 RAG pipelines 🔐 Proprietary data 🤖 Agentic workflows These alone aren’t magic. The convergence is. 👉

Is "AI first" means "customers last"?

We have way too many ID cards in India. Aadhaar was supposed to be a super ID card. Now even that is not a proof of anything. Each state has come with their own "family IDs". And then none of the IDs are safe.

Seems like Google photos has “backup” only option. So if you take tons of photos on a trip and later delete photos they are not deleted on Google photos and you have to pay for all of those photos. Seems like a cunning way to trick users to pay more.

Chat with your blog Has anyone already implanted it for their personal blog? Any tutorials available abt this?

And we wonder why scientific temper is going down the drain in this country

Homeschooling should become lot more popular in India: It is not just the raising cost of education; it is also becoming useless.

If we have to improve our startup culture and increase academia-industry partnership we need more stories like this.

Social media automation done wrong What makes you think GenAI + MCP automation will go right?
