We have created unidimensional economic games. The values they are optimized for are without soul. Worse, winning the game necessitates accumulation and extraction. You speed run this for some generations, and few are left knowing anything better. Inherent design flaws.

SOS - Third claim rejected for EPF (after being unable to "read" PDF and then for not submitting passbook, even though the form said it is not needed as KYC is done, sigh). Does anyone have experience successfully resubmitting for this rejection reason?

A brown crew. Here is the thing I’m proudest of. On our new special #FoolVolume , 65 Indian freelances in three countries got their first EVER Netflix credit. We discussed it before the special. I’ve shot specials abroad for years. You get there and you’re kind of ‘politely’ told

The debate around LLMs shouldn't be about whether using them is good or bad but whether their use results in redirected cognitive focus or arrested development. If you outsource writing in entirety, you end up with latter. We’ve long used tools to shift our burdens, first from.

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

"Most want to be seen as selfless" could be a cause of concern, except if you witness a wholehearted genuine admission that being selfless is also a form of serving the self. There is no greater irony than finding a purpose for your life with you at the center.

It’s the people who most want to be seen as selfless that you have to worry about.

Seriously highly addictive and I recommend. Tried a few other brands, nothing is hitting the spot like this. Absolutely deliciously chicory punchy filter coffee decoction. Filter coffee has been keeping me going over a stressful week and more of back to back meetings.

There's more. Used to stomp Tasty Subs & Pizza off of Lawrence in Sunnyvale, CA, in the last decade for this kind of fusion. They are still around.

Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza should be a thing. I’m sure someone’s made it, but I’ve never had it and I want it.

AI will have breakout usecases that are non-skeuomorphic but the population-scale adoption will be in those that subtly slide in users' existing workflows. In a lot of those situations, that will augment or replace human interaction. First world experiences will get more

Quiet streets on weekend mornings in HSR are perfect to check-in some leisurely miles in Zone 2.

Entire books could be written about the benefits of cycling but they are neither necessary nor sufficient to build a long lasting habit. But a breeze to compete with while taking an unknown turn cutting through unseen farmlands often is (outskirts of Bannerghatta National Park).

Page 1 chaos then. Page 28 update now. "Reality is socially constructed. The most important vehicle of reality-maintenance is conversation." - The Social Construction of Reality (Berger, Luckmann). You control the mouthpieces of conversation, you can bend the reality.

TIL Ambedkar rejected the proposal to include term ‘socialist’ in the original preamble of the Constitution of India. It's also a powerful inter-disciplinary example for elegant separation between protocol and application to prevent hardcoding ideological commitments.

Ideological labels can be so confusing. What do we mean by liberal, conservative, socialist, nationalist, left, right?. On popular demand, @ajay_shah & I demystify these labels in episode 107 of Everything is Everything: This ep is a labour of love. 🙂.

Look, I am not saying cycling in Bangalore is for everybody, but it is for a lot more people than they think otherwise. Get a beginner or a used but comfortable bike. Do under 5 km rides in your hood. If it suits you, keep going. Even if you walk through the choke points, the

This is a huge step for UX for integrated mobility in Bangalore. Plan and pay for your entire trip using Metro, Bus and Auto/Cabs for last mile connectivity on a single interface. There is no version of the future where Bangalore can address traffic without us ditching cars .

The First Law of Cybernetics is why I lose most debates with my kids:. In order to deal properly with the diversity of problems the world throws at you, you need to have a repertoire of responses which are (at least) as nuanced as the problems you face.
