I used Nero to burn CDs as a kid and only later got the joke: Nero burned Rome, and "Burning ROM" is such a perfect reference.

If any film depicting the 1,300-year-old Martand Sun Temple as ‘Shaitaan ki gufa’ is no longer allowed to be released, it is not a loss of creative freedom but a triumph of cultural dignity.

My teammate just sent me this... Claude gave a plan and asked him if it should proceed. He replied NO. And somehow, it thought deeply about it and came to a conclusion that he said YES. LOL!

DU में जो रुचि तिवारी के साथ हुआ, वह वामपंथी-अम्बेडकरवादी छात्र पार्टियों के कारण हुआ, ऐसा मानना मूर्खता है। घटना का सतही कारण तो अवश्य ही ऐसी पार्टियों के छात्र नेता हैं, पर जड़ में क्या है? जड़ में जातिवादी तुष्टिकरण और ब्राह्मण घृणा के नारों का सामान्यीकरण है। मोदी सरकार की उपलब्धि यही है कि अब भीमवादी खुल्ला घूम रहे हैं। कल तक जो दीवारों पर ‘ब्राह्मण बनिया कैम्पस छोड़ो’, ‘देयर विल बी ब्लड’, ‘ब्राह्मणों भारत छोड़ो’ लिखा करते थे, अब वह ‘ब्राह्मणों की कब्र खुदेगी’ के नारों से होते हुए, अब एक लड़की के कपड़े फाड़ने पर आ चुकी है क्योंकि उसका नाम ‘तिवारी’ है। वामपंथी पार्टियों को अब हम नहीं कोसते क्योंकि हम जानते हैं उन्हें सशक्त करने वाले लोग सत्ता में हैं, जो ‘बँटेंगे तो कटेंगे’ का नकली नारा रैलियों में लगा कर एकता का स्वांग रचते हैं। जेएनयू में हाल ही में कुछ छात्रों को रस्टिकेट किया गया, जो एक अच्छा उदाहरण है, पर आगे क्या? कैम्पस में एक छात्रा के कपड़े फाड़ने के प्रयास करने वाले को जेल होनी चाहिए। आज रुचि तिवारी के पास कौन से विधिक विकल्प हैं? क्या वह कोर्ट में ‘जातिवादी घृणा’ का आधार बना सकती है? नहीं, क्योंकि वो जिस समाज से आती है, उसके पास ऐसा कोई विकल्प नहीं। उसे कोर्ट में यह बताना होगा कि उस पर हुए अपराध की जड़ में जातिवादी घृणा है, पर प्रतिवादी वकील कहेगा कि ब्राह्मणों के साथ कैसा जातिवाद? यह विषाक्त वातावरण नरेन्द्र मोदी और भाजपा की ही देन है। नाम उसी का लिया जाएगा जो ई-रिक्शा से वंदे भारत तक हर उपलब्धि का क्रेडिट लेता है। यह क्रेडिट भी मोदी जी का ही है।

‼️ Attention GC‼️ Madhya Pradesh 73% reservation case is coming up in Supreme Court today, where BJP is defending the 73% reservation. Where are the IT cell people who say- "GCs are over reacting, Hindu Unity dekho, Alternative kya hai blah blah"

Imagine your mother is due for a total hip replacement. On the way to the OT, you learn the orthopedician operating on her had scored 4/800 in the PG entrance. Would you still have the courage to let the surgery proceed? This is no longer hypothetical. An MS Orthopaedics seat at a govt institute in Rohtak was allotted in the third counselling to a candidate with just 4/800. At a premier Delhi medical college, a Gynaecology seat went to someone who scored 44/800, and a General Surgery seat was filled at 47/800. It’s high time patients started asking about the NEET PG scores of their doctors. Your health should not be left at the mercy of social justice or buisness policies of the republic.

Middle pradesh is in the headlines now every week with more and more depressing news.

January 31. Remembering the thousands of innocents who perished on this day back in 1948, in what remains the largest anti-Brahmin pogrom in modern Indian history. Brahmins were lynched and raped, their homes and factories looted and burnt, and the Congress orchestrated it all.

When forgetting to invoke Ambedkar is branded a crime and on-duty defiance is hailed as heroism, the Republic’s institutions begin to hollow out from within. opindia.com/2026/01/ambedk…

If it can't be misused why remove the misuse clause? This guy hasn't even read the document from his own ministry. Dharmendra Pradhan is the most useless and incompetent minister of the cabinet. Instead of working on improving the top institutes, he will turn them into JNUs

IMF Chief is wrong. India is actually a third tier AI power. In fact it is not a power at all (as of now). Stanford placing India at 3rd in the world for AI preparedness does not mean anything.

Stack Overflow was one of the best things that ever happened to the tech industry, and its downfall will send shockwaves far into the future, because there will no longer be a source of high‑quality well‑structured data to train AI on.

At the start of 2025, I had made a resolution to get back into reading after a long time. Finished 12 books in 2025 Onto 2026 ... 📖📚

The "I just need to prompt the AI to do what I need" does a lot of heavy lifting here - don't sleep on it "what I need" is the difference between a professional with in-depth expertise able to spell out the next small/medium-sized task. Versus an amateur prompting "make it work"

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to. No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.

The road to Year of Linux Desktop is paved with Windows updates.

My hot take: Someone who couldn't clear UPSC in 7 attempts is not qualified to serve even if he qualifies in 8th. 3 attempts should be the max allowed limit.
