Reluctant Tweeter. Successfully avoided for so many years. Don't expect much to happen around here.

Living near Auroville, and visiting the villages along the East Coast Road from Pondicherry to Chennai, gave Akash Kapur a unique perspective on <India Becoming>. First published in 2012, this book was different from standard accounts of India Shining. #OneDayOneBook @akashkapur

Anthropic’s latest model blackmails engineers who might replace it with another model, threatening to reveal their affairs. We are truly in HAL/2001-land now. I must say I’ve sort of been waiting for this moment. youtu.be/ARJ8cAGm6JE?fe…

Acabat sense deixar-lo. Atrapa la història d'amor i vida d'en John, la Diane, l'Auralice en aquest Auroville. Aquesta comunitat tan particular. @akashkapur ho narra tot amb un estil tan proper que t'hi trasllada d'inmediat. Brillant traducció com sempre @octavigilpujol @saldonar

RIP Bill Whitworth, Editor in Chief @TheAtlantic. I was an intern out of college, he invited me to his office & asked if I wanted to pitch stories. Almost fell from my chair. He was intimidating, but generous & brilliant. Gr8ful for the opportunities. rb.gy/4xrpdu

@typingvanara I taught my son Python a few years ago. Why ugly: You mean unstructured and undisciplined?

I'm starting to use Python for a project. It's of course capable, etc. But, damn, it's an ugly language.

@gaachburi I’m not surprised. The times we live in are not hospitable to nuance! I didn’t agree with everything you concluded (ofc) but admired what seemed like a sincere grappling with complex issues.

Good long read on AV. In depth and balanced, esp on the complex question of settling the land, neo-colonialism etc. Avoids easy polemics on the issue.

For @AtmosMag I went long on #Auroville, an experimental utopian township in India founded 50 yrs ago on a dream by Mirra Alfassa aka The Mother. The last few years have been a tumultuous battle between competing ideas of 'the city the earth needs'. Read: bit.ly/49EvBhR
