Heavy pollution here in Panchkula has taken all the fun expectations of winter. We used to look forward to winter. Early morning walk / jog Going out in the middle of the day All gone because of pollutions
Wherever you go becomes part of you somehow- Anita Desai
Bluesky might not be a good "decentralized Twitter replacement", but it is a good "Twitter replacement" with the possibility of "credible exit" - Christine Lemmer-Webber
Marketing = Tell people how you solve their problems If the problem is a pain, they will pay quickly Faster you solve their pain, price is not an issue
India needs investment in AQI more than AI. Whoever launches Good Air As A Service (GAAS) will reap billion dollars quickly. Indians are used to buying: - inverters - water filters - private security guards for apartments So this won't be a surprise.
There is more engagement on the other app and hence I'm more active there. If you want real conversation and not influencers based content, come over there and say hello.
What are the black Friday deals that are worth checking out : - books - apps - templates For coding, productivity, image and video creations…
May be GenAI is not bullshit? > since I got into programming I’ve assumed that one shared trait between programmers was curiosity, a willingness to learn, and that our maxim is that we can’t ever stop learning, because what we’re doing is constantly changing beneath our fingers…
Where can I learn about this asymmetry that Taleb talks about, as a non-mathematician?
Panchkula spoils you with some amazing cafés Trying out TED cafe & bar today for our weekly reading time.
What’s the real AQi at panchkula? Each site gives very different numbers from 23 to 78. iPhone indicates it is > 300. Air feels like > 300 though. Difficult to breathe in these conditions.
I asked grok who spread misinformation here. And it says @elonmusk But in way I am also happy because it means there are no manipulation to side one way or the other. Is this what transparency looks like ?
I have asked chatgpt abt even things I know to a certain degree. It built this profile for the same prompt. Seems to be ok for me Based on your inputs, it seems that you live a multifaceted life where personal growth, career achievement, and creativity intersect. Here’s a…
Do anyone know how to get this DNA testing in India?

All answers in the thread are wrong. It needs boldness at the very top to do this. Though it has been done in a siloed manner earlier - Metro, MCA21, Aadhar are few examples.
Do the things that light you up. Chase what makes your life yours. This is a good advice. Thanks @TheSethRose
I hope Elon and Vivek don’t disappoint the Americans. Modi came to power with the slogan - Minimum government, maximum governance. We have not seen it. In fact we have seen the opposite. What Elon and team will be a worthwhile experiment to watch.
After I posted I see this tweet by @astroButter Seems like there are few more in this exploration journey.
It seems that I swing between being a hamster in a spinning wheel searching for the next big thing and pursuing what I feel as THE thing but doubting if I am missing something in life.
@david_perell closed write of passage. @kunksed closes stoa. Running a venture is hard. Running a high quality education is even harder. Hats off to these folks who set the trend and experimented. I am sure these experiments will help them with their next venture.
I got done a lot today but at the end of day feel disappointed because I didn’t work on anything worthwhile that moved the needle on the projects that matter.
Looks like none of the North Indian cities are livable
Only consolation is that it could get better in few days. Never expected Panchkula could get this worse with respect to AQI
You can ridicules as much you want. The question is are you connecting with your readers and constituents? English phrases and words get redefined often. And we have our own Indian way of using queen’s English. May be “man of letters” is getting redefined.
Could it be that the rules of business success (and failure) are an elaborate exercise in hindsight bias? Of joining the dots after the fact?
I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. — Will Rogers In India, if you report facts, government comes after you.
@_zenman How do you keep track of all the tweets you have done earlier? I used to save them automatically via a zapier like integration but that was before twitter charged for its apis.
I posted this in July that Trump will win. It was so obvious. He had an edge already. Then the assassination attempt happened. An almost assassinated leader has more credibility.
My name in school certificates is Joseph X. J (J being initials of my father, which is how TN schools wrote names in 70s). I got my passport as first name: Joseph; Last name X; father's name Jus... When I got PAN (around 98), they asked to expand the initials so my name became…
Only thing that matters is: how you view yourself. Otherwise will catch up to your view. If they don't....hell with them.
As a techie supporting sales calls, I would speak in monotonous voice. I learned to “sing” and that changed everything.
Do you know how your company makes money?
There are heads of state who won't face journalists without pre-approved questions. And here is a VP running for president, going to the most hostile journalist and answering questions. This is how democracy should function. Hope the Americans choose wisely.
How can Indians emulate this?
Ratan Tata redefined what it means to be an alpha male.
Indians are advised to leave India. Brits are advised to leave the UK So where should all folks go?
Violent minority chokes silent majority
Whatever you say about India. The opposite is also true. Even in case of CEOs
The world needs artists who raise a war cry: Make love, not war.
Everything in the country needs Aadhaar. But Aadhaar doesn't work. A digital nightmare.
Has Amul talked about Manipur?
Interesting that at once Matt says WPE didn't contribute to WP ecosystem and then seeking way to migrate out of what WPE contributed to WP. I am not a heavy WP user as a commercial user. I run one daily blog. And my two boys use WP to document their homeschooling experience.…
React native or Nativescript? Which one is better for developing a native mobile application? So far, I have only PWA of @ThoughtToNote Want to develop a native mobile application. Your suggestions are welcome.
This is my experience using cursor / Claude for coding. You can't throw in an url and magically get a landing page or an app. And it makes obvious mistakes. But you can use it as an automated pair-programmer (as @simonw calls it). It lets you do things faster and take care of…
Trying @ticktick Who else is using it? What are your reviews and comments?
I grew up thinking Gandhi was an over-glorified charlatan in the freedom struggle. Back in the 8th grade, my math teacher mentioned that Gandhi didn’t do much for the freedom movement after 1942 and Gandhi is just an over-hyped icon. I still don’t understand why a math teacher…
If you're a builder, having cheering friends is really important. If they can be honest too, even better. The journey of building something can often feel lonely, disappointing, and frustrating. You need people around you who can lift your spirits, give you positive feedback,…
