Can't really know whether it's a good or bad thing

WTF!
Uh-oh. We've been getting E30 fuel in Bangalore, and not E20.
So, the Karnataka Govt tested samples across 63 oil retailers including both state-owned (IOC, HPCL, BPCL) and private retailers (Shell, Nayara)
* IOCL: 31.2%+
* HPCL: 30.5%
* BPCL: 26.5%
* Nayara: 26.1%
* Shell: 25.5%
IOC had a whopping 31 % ethanol. Shell had over 25 %.
This is BLATANT cheating!
1. We're not only paying more for inferior fuel but also getting lower mileage.
2. Older vehicles (classic cars and motorcycles) are getting damaged due to this.
What a terrible state of affairs @HardeepSPuri, @nitin_gadkari
The petroleum minister must be sacked. We've had enough!

A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does.
There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love.
Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.

Please bring Computer-Use to Antigravity..
It's the only big thing remaining atp I think.. most of the improvements have landed, and from what I've seen, a lot more are coming..
But computer use is the one I'm really missing in agy.. nd I hope it comes soon..
Hydrogen's speed with CU would be a banger if both drop together..
the computer use tool in the gemini api is now generally available
no breaking changes from preview, just production-ready stability for your browser, mobile, and desktop agents

Tibo's 28th-day masterstroke, GPT-6.2 Astra, aka token burner 🔥. This is why he has given us the 2 banked resets, so we can burn it all.
GPT-6.2 Astra just showed up on the Codex usage page.
The UI still says GPT-6 Astra, but the breakdown flipped to 6.2. A bunch of people posted the same screenshot this afternoon, so it looks like a wide gray rollout, not one account glitching out.
The official model catalog still doesn’t list gpt-6.2-astra. The earlier 6.1 Astra got cut over safety issues, and folks are guessing they fixed it and bumped the number to 6.2.
Tomorrow’s the last day of OpenAI’s 28-day campaign. Wouldn’t be shocked if they announce it then.

Update: the technician finally came on 31 Oct. Tap ~990 ppm, ~86 after RO, ~103 after the mineral stage, so the purifier works and I'm keeping it.
But it took a week of copy-paste replies and unkept promises to get one visit. @UC_Assist that part needs fixing.

This is huge!
✨ This is huge 👀: We're launching Android MCP, powered by the AppFunctions API!
This lets your app integrate with @GeminiApp on Android so your users can ask questions that pull info from your app or take actions in it.
To support this, we're also launching a preview of the Connected Apps Platform.
This is the announcement I'm most excited about from #AndroidDevSummit!

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.
Google has all the AI power in the world. Yet Google Messages can't identify a spam message and doesn't even warn. We need to manually analyze and block it as spam. This is such a simple thing that could have been done with AI. It doesn't even need any frontier models.

Dot is a hit or miss for me, sometimes it act proactively but sometimes no, nothing... Also the codex session it starts it own can't handle the inbuilt browser, which is weird
Okay, maybe I underestimated Dot a bit. I emailed someone to say I was unavailable on the specified date this week and had to cancel the meeting.
OpenAI Dot then proactively messaged me, informing me that I had apparently mixed up the dates because the person had wanted to meet me the week after next.
Two things are remarkable:
Dot independently monitored my email, detected the error, understood the context, and alerted me. This actually saved me from a lot of misunderstanding. A little "aha" moment. I'm currently in the US, which is why I have access to Dot. Of course, I won't have access once I'm back in Germany (and not using a VPN). But it's a really good use case!
