Oracle fired 30,000 people globally and 12,000 in India to free up cash for AI data centers. Now it is pulling back confirmed job offers from IIT and NIT students Oracle is spending 50 billion dollars this year on servers and data centers for its deal with OpenAI. Every dollar going into hardware is one dollar less for the person who writes the software. In the first three months of 2026 alone, over 92,000 tech workers lost their jobs across 98 companies. These companies are not shrinking, their spending is going up, but it is going to machines instead of people. IIT placement rates fell from 90% to 80% in just two years. If AI keeps eating entry level software work, India does not have a backup plan for this many people.

How to tell what phase of life a guy is in: If he’s golfing every weekend, he hates his girlfriend/wife If he’s blacking out every Friday/Saturday, violently single and stuck in college If he’s training for a marathon, a breakup changed him fundamentally If he moved to Austin/Miami, NYC defeated him If he suddenly got into watches, he’s doing well at his job and that’s his priority in life If he’s posting jazz bars and espresso martinis, he’s obsessed with his ex and wants her attention If he suddenly stops tweeting/posting, definitely a new girlfriend If he bought a pickleball paddle, his life peaked 6 months ago. Cooked If he’s doing Hyrox, he thinks he’s better than everyone else, but isn’t

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix. What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses. The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there. The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body. PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%. A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.
