This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread. 1/14

A little curiosity can open the door to an ocean of knowledge.

@sam_stoffel This reminds me of Bruce Dickinson saying that 0+0=1 in a keynote at a conference in Mumbai many years ago.

every school should teach how Richard Branson started an airline with no money:
to launch a transatlantic service, you need a Boeing 747... that's hundreds of millions of dollars.
Branson started Virgin Atlantic with nothing.
here’s what he did:
he called Boeing's main switchboard and asked if they had a 747 sitting around that nobody was using. they hung up on him. he kept calling. eventually someone transferred him to the head of commercial sales to "get rid of him properly".
head of commercial sales: "in every country, we have one customer. in the UK, it's British Airways. there's nothing to talk about."
Branson's reply: "just humour me. do you have an old 747 lying around?"
"...actually, yeah, we do."
"what would you lease it for?"
"about $200-300k a month."
Branson convinced them to lease him that 747 because it was sat there doing nothing.
then he structured the whole thing so he never needed to invest cash upfront:
> customers buy tickets months before the flight
> fuel gets paid 30 days after the plane lands
> lease payments in arrears
if you can start an airline with no money, you can start anything with no money.
you just have to replace capital with creative thinking.
& that's what we should be teaching our kids.

@Nalanda_index The AC vent right on your face. It's a Kulfi berth. Sadly even in winters, the staff are least bothered to lower the temperature.
English
Anyone who has traveled in Third AC knows this struggle.
The upper berth is so cramped that you can’t even sit properly . your neck stays bent the whole time. And you can’t just lie down for hours either. The moment you try to sit up, your neck refuses to straighten.
It’s uncomfortable, frustrating, and something passengers deal with on almost every journey.

@amitgoel78 One advantage of regular schooling is that it provides consistent opportunities for socialisation with peers. (Probably this is one of the most important factors).
English
homeschooling vs regular premium schools - is there a rubric for effective decision making? what factors do people think or evaluate while deciding the schooling especially at middle school or above level? and what factors for primary/early years?
@malpani any suggestions?
English
@Siddharthj710 @SandeepMall Perhaps drafts replies to those spam mails.😜
English
@SandeepMall Seems a little strange. Unless you get a very high number of mails daily, it doesn’t really make sense to do so. How does it know to make a draft of your replies, means most of those mails are repetitive and trivial in nature?
English
Every morning at 10:30 I get a notification from Claude which has read all my mails, appointment, notes and gives me a days summary and To Do. Even makes draft of my replies. I am looking at ways to connect my whoop data automatically to suggest workouts based on recovery and nutrition.

You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.

It was an insightful read. Thank you @C_Hendrick

Devendra Chaplot@dchaplot
I'm joining SpaceX and xAI, working closely with Elon and team to build superintelligence. Together SpaceX and xAI combine physical and digital intelligence under a leader who understands hardware at the deepest level. Add a high-agency culture with frontier-scale resources, and you get the possibility to achieve something truly unique. I’m excited to advance the fields I’ve obsessed over for years, from robotics research to building AI models on the founding teams of Mistral and TML. Both were extraordinary journeys with extraordinary people that shaped how I think about building intelligence from the ground up. Grateful for everything that brought me here and can’t wait to get started.

Bangkok cafes are on another level.
We found this jungle cafe on IG and almost skipped it because the prices looked steep in comparison.
Went in for one drink…
ended up working from there the entire day.
▸ nature escape in the middle of the city
▸ mystical jungle vibes
▸ fast internet
▸ exceptional Thai hospitality
▸ delicious food & drinks
As if that wasn’t enough, the staff performs traditional Thai dances twice a day.
We spent $47 as a couple on lunch, drinks & dessert and worked from there till 8pm.
Not so steep after all.
This place is Baan Suan Sathon in Bangkok.

There is a popular belief in India that living in your own house on your own land is the ultimate lifestyle.
I have lived in both houses and flats. In practice, flats are far more convenient.
A few reasons why.

Another dog whistle from Goyal.
In many legal jurisdictions such hiring practices)by excluding people based on body fat) would be considered discriminatory and the company would be liable for millions in compensation.
Remember the outrage when an airline in India tried to 'downsize' cabin crew?
Deepinder Goyal@deepigoyal
We're recruiting at @temple. At Temple, we are building the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes. A device that measures what no other wearable in the world measures, with a level of precision that doesn't exist yet. To build it, we need people who are obsessive about both the craft and the category. Engineers who are also athletes. People who will wear what they build, and hate it until it's perfect. Roles we're hiring for: 🟠 Analog Systems Engineers, Electronics Design Engineers 🟠 Embedded Systems Engineers — low-level HW bring-up, embedded signal and image processing, embedded AI 🟠 Design and Validation Engineers — sensors, actuators, battery, antenna, optics 🟠 CMF Engineers, Adhesive Materials Engineers 🟠 Sensor Algorithms Engineers — estimation theory, sensor fusion 🟠 Deep Learning Engineers — ML model development for physiological metrics 🟠 Computational Neuroscientists 🟠 BCI Engineers — real-time EEG/EMG acquisition and processing 🟠 Neural Decoding Researchers — brain activity to semantic mapping 🟠 Computer Vision Engineers — facial microexpression, subvocal muscle detection 🟠 Neuroimaging ML Engineers — multimodal sensor fusion 🟠 Last but not the least, product managers who work through Figma without needing a designer to hold their hand Important – we are building for people who push their bodies to the edge. We want to be those people, not just serve them. So only people who take fitness seriously, and have body fat <16% (men) and 26% (women) should apply. If you're not there yet but will commit to getting there in three months, you can apply too; but you'll be on probation until you are. Write to build@temple.com with your core skill as the subject line. Come find your tribe.

@meetrahuldev @TweetAbhishekA @deepigoyal + And spend time tweeting rather than rushing to a nearby hospital?

@TweetAbhishekA @deepigoyal Which medical emergency needs an immediate response from a food delivery company?
English
WTF! Have Zomato and Deepinder @deepigoyal given all the customer care agents’ jobs to AI?
How many people have become unemployed because of this?
Now, if you have any issue with your order on Zomato, no matter what you say, you cannot speak to a human agent. Even if you mention a medical emergency, the AI won’t connect you to a real person.

@sarahookr Bata is a household name in India. Always thought it was an Indian company.
English
I grew up with bata shoes in eswatini and in Mozambique. Had no idea it was such a universal brand.

@ravihanda To the point.
Would like to add.
+ Education / Career Expo are also one of the routes. You have sales agents selling seats by creating FOMO.

Most people are shocked by what’s happening at Galgotias.
Frankly speaking, I’m not.
When I was running Handa Ka Funda, I sold aptitude and placement preparation programs to a bunch of tier 2 and tier 3 colleges. Or at least tried to and failed. 😁
Not Galgotias specifically, but similar institutions. Some smaller, some larger.
If you want to understand this ecosystem, you have to understand the student first.
Every year, lakhs of students from tier 2 and tier 3 towns are trying to move up the ladder. Many of them don’t get into top public institutions. Sometimes it’s privilege. Sometimes it’s preparation. Sometimes it’s simply the brutal math of competition.
So what do they do?
They pick the best option available to them.
And how do they evaluate that option?
Through rankings, advertisements, “100% placement” claims, success stories, billboards, and glossy brochures.
That’s where the game begins.
Colleges compete on perception. They push aggressively in private rankings. They sponsor coverage. They amplify any student who lands a good job and turn that individual achievement into institutional branding. If a student cracks something on sheer personal effort, the college narrative absorbs it instantly.
You’ll see full page ads claiming record placements and sometimes you’ll see systems being gamed. Well, even top institutions do that in India.
Is it pretty? No.
Is it surprising? Also no.
If you’ve spent time visiting tier 2 and tier 3 campuses in North India, this pattern feels familiar.
Galgotias is not the exception.
It’s a symptom of how the majority of this segment operates. It’s about an ecosystem where aspiration is high, supply of elite seats is limited, and branding becomes the bridge between hope and enrollment and until those incentives change, the behavior won’t.

BeerBiceps really missed this one 😭
