AI is eating the world. If you are spending time every day trying hard to automate as much of your job/company as possible, you have a seat at the table. Everyone else is on the menu.

- Achaar is not pickle. English doesn't have a word for achaar. Achaar is a glorious explosion of flavours. A pickle is a depressed cucumber that drowned in vinegar. They are not the same.
- Devanagari is an extremely elegant script. But this was never explained to us in school. A thread on the awesomeness that is devanagari. Let's start with the things that my teachers did *not* teach me in school:
- Who are Indians descended from? Aryans from Europe? Dravidians who've been "here" forever? The Indus valley civilization? A controversial question for 150+ years, but now we have DNA evidence that answers these questions with a high degree of certainty. 🧵
- Just found out that Pune roads were designed for 140kmph speedsHow the effect of speed prevents you from falling into a hole in the road x.com/i/status/17639…
- Did you know that all the nuclear bombs we exploded in the '40s-50s-60s have permanently contaminated all the steel the world has produced since then? All steel in the world is divided into two categories: pre-1945 non-contaminated steel, and post-1945 contaminated steel. How?
- OMG. A person whose last name is "True" has been locked out of iCloud for 6 months because the code got confused between the last name and the boolean value!Anyone else getting this error from Apple iCloud ? In past or now? I’m 6 months deep freeze & looking for any help. I rem dead coding languages like kobalt.. & this seems like an Apple coding issue — not hardware
- So fascinating that the best Tiramisu in Pune is in one of Pune's top 5-stars (JW Marriott) by a chef who's from Italy, and the second best is in a tiny shop on Baner Road (Rihla's) by an engineer who quit his job to start a bakery and got a culinary degree on the side!
- I recently found out that Akbar's wife, popularly (but mistakenly) known as Jodhabai, was an accomplished international trader and her business problems possibly resulted in changing the fate of India: ensuring the British colonized India instead of Portugal 1/36
- Germany to Botswana: Stop killing elephants Botswana: Because of conservation efforts, elephant population has exploded. We'll send you 20000 elephants. You try living with them peacefully. Not a joke: this really happened.
- As a child, I always wondered why Indian words like राम always got written as "Rama" in English. To me "Ram" seemed like a much better fit for the pronunciation. I thought it was because of British arbitrariness. Only recently I learnt the real reason for this. /1
- Any time now I expect Mark Zuckerberg to step back and appoint an Indian guy named Shiva as CEO just so we can have a Satyam Shivam Sundaram of Indian CEOs at the top tech companies.
- Two years back, the software industry hired a record 6L engineers. Last year it hired around 2.5L. This year (i. e. The year ending in March 2023) it looks like the number will be less than 1L. This is the worst job market in India in at least 20 years if not more.Indian software services companies will end FY24 having hired between 70,000 and 80,000 fresh engineers —the lowest intake in over two decades. m.economictimes.com/tech/informati…
- Somebody post a video of a child crying on the first day of school and we can recommend that no child should go to school. Or a bride crying at bidaai and recommend that no woman should get married. Even watching Kal Ho Na Ho can be bannedBreaks my heart to see little kids like this. One more reason to not become a working mother.
