I was captivated by the market reaction to the #SPCX IPO. The believers, naysayers, extraordinary interest from the retail investors. It had all the drama of a Starship launch. I have tried to capture it all in this Tamil article I wrote in for Solvanam - tinyurl.com/4av43d5r

Nailed it !
Anybody saying we should focus more on AI applications rather than models is just missing the other ‘low hanging fruits’ out there.

NITIN Gadkari’s obsession with Ethanol will be the single reason why NDA will lose power eventually.
The anger is rising and it’s just going to get worse. Existing owners of vehicles bought a few years ago are experiencing issues. People buy vehicles after saving for years.

Less mileage (25-30%) -> More fuel usage -> More Crude imports. Needless to say Ethanol also costs more today. Overall the End Users bears the brunt of this whole package and the Govt walks away getting Higher taxes. What’s the end game here ?!

Today the @WMO released projections of where temperatures may end up over the next five years (baed on 13 different models and 250 ensemble members).
Their estimates for 2026 and 2027 are quite close to my (updated) ones:

A coach who never stopped teaching. It sounds crazy to say this, but you made greatness feel normal. Even after hat-tricks, wins and trophies, there was always another lesson, another challenge and another level to reach. That mentality changed this club forever and changed me too. The honour of a lifetime to work with the best. Thank you for everything, boss 🙏🏻 🩵

BREAKING: MICROSOFT JUST ANNOUNCED TO BAN ITS OWN ENGINEERS FROM USING AI DUE TO THE COST OF USING IT.
VP OF NVIDIA SAID, “THE COST OF AI FOR MY TEAM WAS MORE THAN HUMANS”
“AI CAN COST MORE THAN HUMAN WORKERS NOW”
Community note
Microsoft did not ban its engineers from using AI. Rather they canceled their Anthropic contracts and told their engineers to use their own internal AI (copilot) instead.

I kept hitting the same wall.
Maps for India scattered, no clear provenance, formats gatekept, no easy way to share your own.
So I built bharatlas. The wiki for India's maps.
View, slice, download. Drop your own to publish. Open data, open code.
