PSA: Find your voter status (in Bangalore) easily. Pls RT.
Final SIR data is out!
But it's all a myriad of PDFs to comb through, captchas, slow sites, and changed part numbers so it is hard to find out your status as a voter!
Over 4 days, I painstakingly reverse engineered the captcha, downloaded 10,000+ PDFs (over 100GB), OCR'ed them, converted to structured data, and then setup sir-bangalore.shantanugoel.c… so you can search for your status through name, voter id, house number etc in an instant without any captcha.

Elon Musk on why his companies move faster than anyone else.
"I'm constantly addressing the limiting factor. Whatever the limiting factor is on speed, I'm going to tackle that. If capital is the limiting factor, I'll solve for capital. If it's not the limiting factor, I'll solve for something else."
He then said something most managers never figure out:
"If something is going really well and making good progress, there's no point in me spending time on it.The irony is if something's going really well, they don't see much of me. But if something is the limiting factor, they'll see a lot of me."
He spends his time entirely on whatever is blocking the next step. Not on what's interesting or what he's best at. But on whatever is the bottleneck right now.
Most leaders do the opposite... They gravitate toward what they're comfortable with and away from the hard problem.

IN-SPACe has selected six Indian companies for up to ₹1 crore each to develop AI technologies for space.
* Agnikul: Precision landing
* Digantara: Space object analysis
* EON Space Labs: Debris detection
* OrbitAID: On-orbit servicing
* Omnipresent Robot Tech: Target recognition
* TakeMe2Space: Spacecraft autonomy
IN-SPACe began its Seed Fund Scheme in 2023 with agriculture-focused space applications. It has since funded work in disaster management, urban development, and other sectors.

PSA: If you use agents heavily, I'd recommend being very cautious next few days as things get patched because even if you updated your browser or system, the agents may not have yet!
Been operating this way without knowing it had a name.
“All green lights” thinking - stop assuming things have to take as long as they usually do. Start with what's actually possible.
Especially true in startups. Probably one of the highest-leverage ways to think. – at Suratgarh, India
Neuralink president DJ Seo says Elon’s aggressive schedules are rigorous first-principles engineering, and an all-green-light schedule shows 80 to 90% of delays are just assumed
“What I’ve learned is that it’s not really some arbitrary management tactics, but it’s really used as a rigorous engineering and first principle, you know. Again, this is more applicable in the world of atoms, but we have this concept called all green light schedule, which is kind of forcing us to think about if every single light is green, there’s no administrative burdens or delays or no shipping delays or risk or no legacy bottlenecks, how fast can you build it?”
“And when you think from that point of view and vantage point and literally strip away any man-made bottlenecks and you ask a question of how fast can you actually manufacture a chip, how fast can you design a robot and test it. It turns out like, I don’t know what the right number is, but at least 80-90% of it is things that you think are the way it is, just because you don’t really think about it from that perspective.”

Exactly! – at Hanumangarh, India
J'ai vu une Tesla décoller. Et j'ai entendu beaucoup de bêtises.
« Ça ne sert à rien. » « Gadget de milliardaire. » « Qui a besoin d'une voiture qui vole ? »
Personne. Et c'est exactement pour ça que c'est important.
En 1978, Brabham a aligné en Formule 1 une voiture équipée d'un ventilateur géant à l'arrière. Il aspirait l'air sous le châssis et plaquait la voiture au sol. Elle a gagné sa première course avec une avance insolente. Elle a été interdite immédiatement.
Quarante-huit ans plus tard, on y revient. Un système de succion qui colle la voiture à la route et lui permet de passer sous la seconde au 0 à 100.
Personne n'a « besoin » de faire le 0 à 100 en moins d'une seconde. Comme personne n'a besoin d'une Formule 1. Et pourtant : les freins carbone de votre berline, l'hybridation de votre moteur, l'aérodynamique de votre SUV, les palettes au volant — tout ça vient de voitures de course que personne n'utilisera jamais pour aller au travail.
La Formule 1 ne sert à rien. Pourtant elle sert à tout.
En 1973, quand la France a lancé Ariane, l'Europe sortait de onze échecs consécutifs du programme Europa. La presse parlait d'argent jeté dans l'espace. Vingt ans plus tard, Ariane détenait la moitié du marché mondial des lancements commerciaux, et chaque satellite de télévision, de météo ou de GPS que vous utilisez a bénéficié de cette obstination.
Le progrès a toujours la même tête au début : un truc inutile, cher, ridicule, construit par des gens qu'on prend pour des fous.
Ce que j'ai vu à Dallas, ce n'est pas une voiture volante. C'est un châssis, une gestion de l'énergie et une maîtrise des flux d'air que l'industrie automobile mettra dix ans à digérer.
Les applications viendront : sécurité, freinage, stabilité, consommation. Elles finiront dans des voitures ordinaires conduites par des gens qui expliqueront, en 2036, que tout ça était évident.
La question n'est jamais « à quoi ça sert ».
La question est : qui ose encore construire des choses qui ne servent à rien ?
Il y a cinquante ans, c'était nous. La fusée, le TGV, le Concorde, le Minitel.
L'Europe construisait des choses absurdes et magnifiques.
Aujourd'hui, on commente depuis le siège arrière car nous sommes hors course.
Merci @elonmusk de nous faire rêver

Marques, I've been a fan for years, but I genuinely miss the excitement and curiosity you once brought to tech. Not every innovation needs to be practical to matter. Sometimes it's about pushing the boundaries of what's possible and inspiring humanity. We can question Tesla's promises while still appreciating an extraordinary feat of engineering. I just wish that sense of wonder hadn't been lost.
I say this with genuine respect, Marques. The tech world needs thoughtful critics, but it also needs people who remind us why we fell in love with technology in the first place. You used to do both so beautifully. I hope we see more of that spark again.
