Let me be blunt. Those who are afraid of AI feel deep down that they are impostors & have no edge. If you have a 1) clear mind, 2) a deep, not just cosmetic, undertanding of your specialty, 3) and/or are original enough to reinvent yourself when needed, AI will be your friend.

I feel bad for @the_fauxy - How do they even compete with this???
Thousands of students at Allen Career Institute protested across its centres in Kota after the coaching institute allegedly failed to fulfil its promise of providing six laddus to each student before the Diwali break. Angry students took to the streets, created an Instagram page named ‘Laddu Janta Party’ and flooded social media with reels and memes over the issue. The protests reportedly escalated to the extent that the coaching management had to call the police to control the situation. Meanwhile, some rival coaching institutes organised bhandaras offering unlimited sweets on Sunday, adding to the buzz around the controversy. Allen founder Brajesh Maheshwari reportedly made last-minute arrangements for laddus in an attempt to contain the situation.

I started Zomato with a spirit of service. Blinkit Ambulance is what that spirit of service looks like today. In the last 2 years, we have served ~20,000 emergency cases (~42,000 cases in total). We haven't charged a single rupee for any of them. And we want to keep it that way. With everything free, a growing share of bookings are for routine checkups, hospital visits and hospital-to-home transfers, trips that an Uber or private transport could have handled just as easily. Every such booking keeps a fully equipped emergency ambulance with paramedics off the road when someone's life may depend on it. So we are making a change from now onwards: Emergency transfers – free, as always. Non-emergency transfers – ₹2,500, charged after the trip. Broadly in line with what private ambulances charge. This money goes to Eternal Foundation, which runs these ambulances and will help us scale them even further. We hope that this charge will dramatically drop the usage of our Ambulances for non-emergency cases. 10-minute ambulances have saved and can save thousands of lives, and we need to keep them available for emergencies that need them the most. One more thing. Scaling high quality ambulances is hard. The biggest bottleneck is trained, empathic paramedics. Our training academy is scaling as fast as we can without compromising on quality, and @albinder and team are committed to bringing Blinkit Ambulance to all major cities in India in the next 2-4 years. Stay well, and I pray you don't need us. @sparsh_sehgal – I wish your grandma a speedy recovery, and I am so glad we were able to be there on time.
Blinkit ambulance saved my grandma's life today. Things went south suddenly, but they reached home in 8 minutes and drove her to the emergency ward promptly. Forever grateful. No hospital ambulance could have managed this response time.

I have a theory - run capitalism far enough and it comes out the other side as communism. Saying RAM belongs in data centers instead of wasting away in PCs looks like a Marxist argument with a cap table. A central planner judges your RAM better than you do, your small joys today give way to a future someone else designed, and ownership ends up in fewer hands than any Politburo managed.

India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Just finished the Rafa documentary. It plays like a tragedy. For over 20 years, the central character has been a man in constant pain, pushing his body well beyond what it seems capable of enduring. The ability to suffer is the price of ambition. One of the best sports documentaries I've watched.

Peter Thiel and Nassim Taleb agree on this point (as well as I). Competition is for losers.
Taleb once said: "If you feel that you are in competition with anyone, for anything, you are a loser." // the only valid competition are your own demons.

I find the claims of Phillips' fielding being performative laughable. You don't even need to have played the game to know that the reaction time for the fielder in most cases is in milliseconds. To think that someone would try to be 'performative' in that little time, well..
