There are two ways to be right: • guess right • change your mind when you are wrong ;-)

Junior engineers code problems broken down by seniors. If an AI code-editor can write a broken down problem, no need for juniors. => College shouldn't test for recall but for problem solving

Who is Tom Cruise of India? Who has studied the art form so deeply and push boundaries of the same art form?

This is the core of the next message I'm sharing in my church.

It is always me, myself, and I for Trump even when asked about Biden's cancer diagnosis. What a piece of .... (Now I can say that about American president ...I know I can't say anything about ....)

What’s scarce becomes abundant What’s abundant becomes scarce Life goes on in this loop Money and time is one such loop

Can you keep your enthusiasm alive with regrets? I don’t think so

There are just way too many things to care for: • eating healthy • keeping fit • building wealth • keeping your job • patenting • social networking … This is just partial list. Each of these have many sub-items How do you all manage all of these?

Cancelled LinkedIn premium subscription. Yet it keeps trying to charge the card and sending me emails that payment failed. 🤦

Most importantly the Amish don't have a "fat loss meal plan". Move your body Eat less processed food (less steps from farm to plate) Rest your body Have a circle of family & friends to laugh and hang out together Enjoy your work Worship the creator That's all

Ron improved performance of TS among other things. Usually companies don't lay off people whose jobs are important for their top line (or even for developer branding). Does this mean, TS is no more important for MSFT

The CGo-free, cross platform GUI toolkit for Go : This seems an interesting project to check out. I have been thinking of creating desktop apps for local tools. Since most of the tools I create are in #golang may be this will help.

Probably Ranveer has redeemed himself with this clear narrative of India. We export philosophy and engineers. Pakistan exports terrorists. There is no two way about it.

Every book is a map. It leaves out details to guide the reader on a journey. Whether you find a book useful depends on if you want to take the same journey.

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. 👉

Learn Languages with AI-Generated Bilingual Stories Seems like a good use case for GenAI. Anyone tried this?

The books I have published are selling more than books that haven't been published. Whether you are an author, indie developer ...this is applicable for you Do • Put it out • Iterate

Bsky & Mastodon doesn’t seem to include referrer tags when they refer traffic. ⇒ even though they might refer more traffic to your blog, there is no way to track them. Too bad. It could be a great marketing tactic to attract people to these platforms.

There is lot of buzz about Agentic AI, most are from content marketers & influencers. Who is running Agentic AI successfully? What are the use cases you use it for?

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.

How is this stock buy advice allowed as an emergency pop up in a Vodafone network? Any idea @vicustomercare ? The country is planning a war drill and this comes as an emergency news. 🤦

Hey @lmsqueezy team: Any idea in the roadmap to add reviews & testimonials for products?

Will GenAI replace coders? Not at all. More software produced by GenAI means more demand for better coders. Every software wave has taken out those in the bottom of the pyramid. This is no different.

When you use chatgpt more you realise it uses more em-dash (now called llm dash 😜). Why chatgpt uses em dash more? Any idea?

Just launched my digital store! My first product is live: “30 Days of Daily Devotionals for Faith-Driven Leaders.” It’s free to download — or you can pay what you feel it’s worth. I’d love your feedback as I grow this store one resource at a time.

Looks like there are not lot of git clients for android. On ios there is WorkingCopy and it works well.

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?

I have all my blog posts as .md files (approx 400 files) Is it possible to feed to any #llm (OpenAI, Gemini) and find possible related articles. Or even find out what all I’ve written abt some topic? Anyone done this?
