Launching Junction: come speed-run the semiconductor tech tree this December in Bangalore.
We’re flying in students from all over India 🇮🇳 to a 2-week fabrication retreat at @_lagrangepoint to build equipment, design chips and engineer processes, with our friends at @hackerfabindia.
India still needs thousands of semicon engineers -- the ecosystem to produce them isn’t mature enough yet -- we're changing that.
Current applicants have built vacuum chambers to study plasma physics, RISC-V processors from scratch, scanning tunneling microscopes, et cetera
At junction you will:
1. Propose a project
2. Figure out a plan with the Junction team.
3. Iterate fast towards a working prototype, with help from the Junction team
4. Be mentored by top semiconductor hackers and specialists.
5. Demo to industry leaders, founders, investors, and your fellow craftspeople
Flights, accommodation and project expenses? All covered. Apply on the link below
many people love the ben 10 title sequence in hindi (sung by sunidhi chauhan btw) but another fav of mine is the jaadoo theme, by shaan + pritam

What if iOS developers, who pay $99 for the right to develop apps, received priority access to the device?@johnternus

I think we hold ourselves back from pursuing things we love or things that excite us because we’re afraid of being beginners.
As kids, we did things simply because they were fun. We didn’t care if we were good at them, if we failed, or what people thought of us. Somewhere along the way, we started wanting to be good at everything.
I wonder how many things we’ve missed out on because we were too worried about not being good at them.
So take this as a cue to go do that thing you’ve always wanted to try but kept putting off. You don’t have to be good at it. You just have to want to do it.

STOP LETTING YOUR AI AGENTS BREAK YOUR PRODUCT.
For the last 2 years, I’ve been building and shipping alongside founders and large enterprise teams at @lumenridgehq, seeing Product Design change forever.
Today, we’re sharing how we work.

we’ve been ideating on how we can explore and learn more about traditional Indian dyes - We are starting with Indigo.
come learn about indigo, some hands on block printing fun and some hot takes on what’s happening with indigo now.
17th Oct, blr
register quick!
thinking of hosting a nerdy evening in bangalore around a dye and textile.
hint: it's also a crop. farmers revolted over it, an empire got rich off it, and a lab in germany killed the trade.
you'll be in pairs, going down a rabbit hole together and debating your findings over food.
would you be game?

Most people may not know this, but Aeos helped ElevenLabs with their Kannada implementation. A couple of years ago we were working with a large cricket team (still an Aeos client) on dubbing and Kannada wasn’t an option. We spent a lot of time helping figure it out. The ElevenLabs team was super fast at making it all work (they were a much smaller co back then btw) and now many across the country can access Kannada dubbing!

Ah, a long rant coming up. I have many thoughts, might just write a longer piece later. But here are my initial thoughts.
Every year, the CNT Top 50 Restaurants in India list comes out and I find myself asking the same question: what exactly are we defining as “best”?
Fine dining, tasting menus and chef-led restaurants are an important part of India’s evolving food culture, and many of the restaurants on this list absolutely deserve their flowers. But they are not the beginning and end of India’s restaurant culture.
This year, Mumbai and Goa alone account for 26 of the 50 restaurants. Bengaluru has six. And while there are restaurants from places like Kasauli, Karaikudi and Shillong on the list - which I love seeing - the map of “India’s best restaurants” still feels remarkably small.
Because the Indian restaurant scene is so much bigger than our metros. And even within our metros, some of the most exceptional food isn’t necessarily happening in the kind of restaurants we traditionally associate with these lists.
In Bengaluru alone, I think of places like Malgudi Mylari Mane, Super Naati and Fireside, where they actually cook over firewood. I think of the incredible food coming from the city’s Northeast communities, and places like Roots & Fern in Kammanahalli.
These are restaurants I find genuinely exciting. Places with a strong sense of place, community, technique and identity.
That’s really what I wish lists like these would explore more.
What about the tiny family-run restaurant doing one regional cuisine exceptionally well? The neighbourhood place people have been eating at for twenty years? The restaurant preserving a cooking technique that’s disappearing elsewhere? The small kitchen cooking food from a community that rarely gets represented in mainstream food media?
And what about Mysuru, Mangaluru, Lucknow, Indore, Surat, Nagpur, Kozhikode, Kochi, Madurai, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar - or the hundreds of other cities and towns where people are cooking extraordinary food?
Every year, I hope the definition of “best” gets a little wider.
Not instead of the restaurants already being celebrated. Alongside them.
Because there is so, so much more to India’s restaurant story than what can fit into the usual dining map.

Few things ruin a great match faster than wondering whether an opponent earned the win or saw you through a wall.
Wallhacks give cheaters information they were never meant to have. With Modern Warfare 4, we’re introducing a new way to fight back: Server Culling.
Here’s how it works:
nourish every space like it is your own, the space expresses its own gratitude and it'll find it's way to you. great job with this one and I hope you like your new space too!
