@pubity Not sure why someone would still use wiki?

Wikipedia has banned all users from using AI-generated text to write or update articles.

@aakashgupta Same with Windows. Every couple of years, a new final rebrand appears that seems to change everything entirely and supposedly the last version of windows.

Microsoft has now renamed this product four times in four years and each name is worse than the last. Microsoft Office (1990-2022). Thirty-two years of brand equity. Everyone on Earth knew what it meant. Your grandmother knew what it meant. “I need to open Office” required zero explanation in any language. Then: Microsoft 365. Then: Microsoft 365 (Office), because even Microsoft couldn’t stop using the old name. Then: Microsoft 365 Copilot. The app icon is now identical to the Copilot chatbot icon with a tiny “M365” badge in the corner. Users are opening the AI chatbot when they want Excel. “Office 365” still has double the search traffic of “Microsoft 365.” “Microsoft 365 Copilot” has virtually none. The reason this keeps happening is the same reason it will keep getting worse. Microsoft sells Copilot to Wall Street, not to the person trying to open a spreadsheet. Satya Nadella told investors 70% of Fortune 500 companies “adopted” Copilot. The actual conversion rate, the share of employees with access who choose to use it, is 35.8%. ChatGPT’s is 83.1%. When workers have access to multiple AI tools and can pick freely, 8% choose Copilot. 70% choose ChatGPT. Copilot’s paid subscriber market share dropped from 18.8% to 11.5% in six months. Gemini passed it in November 2025. So Microsoft did the only thing left: rebrand the world’s most recognized productivity suite after the AI product nobody is voluntarily using, and raise the subscription price to pay for it. This is the same company that rebranded MSN to “Microsoft Start” in 2021 and quietly reverted to MSN three years later after everyone ignored the new name. The same company that renamed Microsoft Remote Desktop to “Windows App.” 400 million paid seats. The switching cost is so high that Microsoft could name it Microsoft Copilot Clippy 365 AI Turbo and most companies would renew anyway.

@Omiron33 @kechogarcia Agree. Nobody is writing code. People interested in coding are just reading code, rest are okay with the output if it simply works. Preferences aside, there’s no reason why you should write code when Claude already does it faster/better, if you disagree, you’re bad at querying.

@kechogarcia You think anyone still employed as a dev by any serious company is writing code currently?

Tomorrow is the day %100 of code will be written by AI. Looking forward to not have to code again.

@forallcurious The most efficient structure, the honeycomb.

@TOIBengaluru @timesofindia I just bought a new house plant. Can you schedule a visit to inaugurate it by this week? @siddaramaiah

@aniketshah30 Generally not available in areas I order from, but have heard positive reviews regarding Swish when compared to competitors, especially taste. Keep going.

Excited to announce Swish has raised $38M in Series B. The love and affection we've received from our customers in Bangalore has been humbling. What started as an idea to deliver fresh food in 10 minutes has quickly evolved into becoming a new consumer category of its own. To all our investors, customers, and team who believed in the vision – a big thank you 💚 @ujjwal_sukheja @saranonearth @justswishin Read more in the first comment.

@cryptorover Good strategy. Imposing rules based on threat nuclear weapons relatively worse than imposing rules based on shipping routes. Both work on the same lines of leverage though.

💥BREAKING: Marine traffic data shows, Many of ships are starting to pass through Strait of Hormuz again. Iran has reportedly approved all GCC, European, and foreign ships for passage at a $2 million $CNY fee, excluding Israeli and American vessels.

@naveenkopparam I mean his demands are debatable from a capitalism approach. But looking at your example used for comparison, I think we need to restrict free internet access.

@IndianTechGuide Does this work on politicians too?

A much-needed step to restore India’s rivers.

@ChanchalPanghal Most of our actions are simply defined by society.

Lot of Indian women are choosing high stress corporate 'hustle' just because society says they should.

@SonyNwes @immasiddx Can you be more specific? Normie data simulation works. For super advanced data simulation, the user base would be <0.01% out of which people doing this without supercomputers are idiots anyways. I’m gonna ignore this sample. You can fact check me btw, should be mostly right.

@sumith_bhat @immasiddx Try to do data simulation then.

A $4,399 MacBook Pro with M5 Max chip just SMOKED an $11,238 Dell workstation laptop. It is so over.

@BillyM2k Haha great poll.

are you a better than the average driver?

@immasiddx At a time when storage prices are skyrocketing? But then, keeping the storage quota same through decades is a way of getting users to pay eventually. Intentional I’d say.

Changing the free iCloud storage from 5GB to at least 15GB. 5GB in 2026 is just ridiculous. 😭

@ShubhAgrawal26 Initially I’d installed all apps to play around and figure how different models respond. Realised I had perplexity as well only after reading this post. Uninstalled now.

as much as i hate to say this - perplexity seems like it will die. companies and startups are moving to way cheaper and better alternatives and there's little use for perplexity with how models have evolved

@BanCheneProduct Truth prevails in statistics.

What do you think is the SECRET behind BITS Pilani success?  NO RESERVATION   Was offered IIT status by government, but college refused as that would've meant giving Reservation.   When IITs are crippling with 60% quota, so-called social justice, BITS Pilani remains focused on what truly matters that is MERIT

@AnishA_Moonka Invest heavily into China. My very strong take is they will lead the future.

Your fridge runs 24 hours a day. Solar panels only work while the sun’s out. That mismatch is the entire reason this plant exists, and the fix is just hot salt. The Dunhuang plant in China’s Gobi Desert uses 12,000 mirrors aimed at a single tower about as tall as an 80-story building. All that focused sunlight heats a mix of salts (the same stuff in fertilizer) to 565°C, hot enough to glow red. That liquid salt gets pumped into giant insulated tanks. The tanks are so well insulated they only lose about 1°C per day. When the city needs electricity at 2am, the hot salt boils water into steam, the steam spins a turbine, and you get power. Same basic process as a coal plant. Just no coal. Here’s what makes this different from regular solar: the storage lasts 11 hours. Sun goes down, plant keeps running all night. The big batteries that cities plug into their power grids right now? Those typically hold about 4 hours of electricity. Building batteries that last 11 hours is possible, but the cost balloons fast. A German energy storage study found that storing energy in hot salt costs roughly 33x less than storing it in the lithium-ion batteries we use today. China has built 27 of these plants so far, enough to power roughly a million homes. They doubled that number in 2025 alone. Another 3,000 megawatts (enough for about 2 million more homes) are under construction right now, with 4,000 more in the planning stage. Beijing wants 15,000 megawatts by 2030. The US tried this same technology once. Ivanpah, out in the Mojave Desert. Cost $2.2 billion. But they skipped the storage part entirely, so it could only make power while the sun was shining. It needed natural gas every morning just to start up. It’s now slated to shut down in 2026, thirteen years early, because regular solar panels got so cheap they made the whole project obsolete. China took the same idea, added the one part America left out, and is now building dozens of them. One more thing worth knowing. The salt is made from basic industrial chemicals. No lithium mining. No cobalt. No rare earth metals. And it lasts 30 years of daily use before the tanks need work.

@elvin_not_11 Legit 😂

it's beautiful that I can traverse through 25 years of UI design history by clicking 3 times on Windows 11.

@hamptonism Being surrounded by people who stress you out, resulting in more cortisol levels, is definitely more dangerous sherlock.

Hey so, isolation is dangerous.

@baxirahul Looks great. Although, I’ve noticed the roots outgrow quickly overthrowing the tiles surrounding the tree. Should we give some more breathing room for the roots? Would mean lesser walking space but also lower future maintenance considering how competent authorities are.

This is what ‘urban done right’ looks like. #Mumbai
