A UI engineer to me: "Can you teach me UX?" Me: "Be prepared to learn journalism, politics, art, and be more difficult to work with."

Theatre owners want... Bums on seats. Butter on popcorn. Money in register. That's it. No love of cinema. No passion for the art form. We make films thinking we're creating art. And they calculate how many samosas they can sell. Both are valid. Only one of us is delusional.

This guy has exposed a trick of IndiGo Airlines. He had a flight to Pune at 6:00 AM. He reached the airport on time, but his web check-in wasn't working. At the counter, he was told that web check-in had to be completed at least 24 hours before departure. By then, the flight was full. Now his question is: if the number of tickets sold is equal to the number of seats available on the flight, how did someone else get his seat? Are airlines selling more tickets than the number of seats available? His second question is: if someone books a ticket just 4–5 hours before departure due to an emergency, how can they possibly complete web check-in 24 hours in advance? Airlines can easily say they'll move passengers to another flight, but the passenger is the one who suffers — through lost time, mental stress, missed commitments, and urgent meetings.

This is so significant for us here in India. The US government just told Anthropic to cut off its two most powerful models from foreign nationals, inside or outside America. Anthropic could not cleanly fence off foreigners from Americans, so it pulled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone. Let me walk you through what happened & explain what this means for us. This week Anthropic launched two new models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Both sit on the same very capable base. Mythos is the heavy one. It is so good at finding software security holes that Anthropic kept it limited to a small set of trusted partners under a program called Glasswing. Mozilla said it fixed hundreds of security bugs using an early version of it. That cyber skill is exactly what makes the model valuable, and exactly what makes a government nervous. On Friday, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Anthropic's CEO putting both models under export control. By one account, the trigger was another company claiming it had jailbroken Mythos. The government had also tried earlier to get Anthropic to delay the launch and failed. The letter came right after that. Anthropic complied within hours but pushed back hard in public. It says the so-called jailbreak is narrow. Other public models like GPT-5.5 already do this, and security defenders use it every single day. Anthropic's argument is simple. If a minor finding like this can yank a model used by hundreds of millions of people, then no frontier model from anyone could ever stay online. The company also built Fable with extra guardrails and a 30-day data retention rule specifically to catch and shut down misuse fast, so being recalled over this stings even more for them. Now, what does this mean for you and me, building on these tools from Bengaluru or Pune. Day to day, almost nothing changes right now. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are gone for everyone, but Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet and Haiku all still work. Your normal Claude usage is fine. ChatGPT and Gemini are fine. But the deeper story is that the most powerful AI is now being treated like advanced chips. A controlled export. The same way the US decides which Nvidia chips India is allowed to buy, it can now decide which AI models India is allowed to use. And the word "foreign national" puts all of us in one bucket, friend of America or not. Remember that Anthropic's own CEO was in New Delhi in February, talking up AI for India. That closeness did not stop the tap from being turned off. So this can lead to interesting ramifications. One. A two-tier AI world. US persons get the top tier, the cyber-capable frontier. The rest of us get the model one notch below, and even that can vanish overnight. This order landed at 5:21 PM with zero warning and the model was gone the same evening. Two. A massive reason for India to build its own. Every minister and founder talking about sovereign AI just got handed proof. If a tool can be switched off from a foreign capital you do not vote in, you cannot put anything critical on top of it. Not a bank, not a hospital system, not a government service, nothing. Three. A lesson for builders. Do not wire your product to a single model from a single country and assume it stays. Keep a fallback model ready to swap in. Abstract your prompts so you are not married to one provider. Treat model access like a supply chain with risk. Four. Slower, messier launches ahead. If governments can pull a model over a narrow finding, every lab will get more cautious about what it ships and where. Expect more launches that are geo-gated from day one, where India is simply not on the list at the start. I use these tools all day and I am not about to stop. I am not panicking and neither should you. None of this breaks your workflow tonight. But if you are building on American AI from India, treat today as the day to plan for access being pausable. Keep a backup. Read the sovereign AI conversation a lot more seriously than you did last week.

Kohli fans are sad that Kohli and Kane narrowly missed the 10K run mark 😭😭😭😭 i'm crying man how do rohit fans even cope with 3000 runs in test cricket ??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻

Many great Test players struggle on too long, past their best, and see precipitous drops in their averages, eg Kohli from 55.1-46.9 & Ponting from 60.0-51.9. While I’d always want more Kane innings for 🇳🇿, I’m glad he’s retired now rather than eked out a few more scratchy series

Dear Shivaansh, I still can’t believe that you are at THE ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP. Nothing has made me more proud my son. Your grit and determination will now be a constant inspiration for me for the rest of my life. God bless you, Proud Daddy.

This is so very Kane Williamson. He was under 500 runs of getting to 10,000 runs in test cricket. Even if he didn’t get to that landmark he could have easily played the next game as a farewell game. His place in the team isn’t even challenged. No he didn’t. He Just walked away quietly. So very Kane Williamson. Just why the world loves him so much.

‼️🚨 BREAKING: ServiceNow has been breached. Customers are reporting unauthorised access to their instances. One customer states their security team reported this vulnerability to them, and they closed the case twice, saying they had already known since the 7th of April.

New credentials attack on Google, it's a subtle one. The email actually comes from account.google.com. It informs you that your recovery contact (an email you don't recognize) is about to reset your password and prompts you to take action. There's a link that appears to point to accounts.google.com but uses the continue URL parameter to redirect you to sites.google.com, which hosts the attacker's site. If you scroll down, you can see the bottom of the email, which just shows that someone is asking to add you as their recovery contact. The entire first part of the email is a user-controlled field in Google's system that the attacker controlled to include the malicious link and text.

Her name is Vijayalakshmi. She is playing 'Gayathiri Veena" which was made by her father and it has only one string. She recently won a Guinness World Record for playing the Gayathiri Veena for 24 hours continuously. She played 64 songs at a time. Surprising factor - she is blind.

A friend raised a service request with @airtelindia to switch from postpaid to Prepaid. Request was raised with a service request number and a resolution time of 48 hours. In those 48 hours, Airtel made probably 50 calls to the customer and then cancelled the postpaid to prepaid request on its own. The kind of scams telcos like Airtel runs for postpaid customers is why customers have trust issues and people prefer prepaid. Not to forget the efforts customer will have to take to switch back to Prepaid by visiting their gallery and harassment with over 50 calls by the company again. Terrible.
