@Blue_Footy @TheSunFootball I had forgot this guy is still our player

‼️Nicolas Jackson has an open mind, with staying at Stamford Bridge next season. But as things stand, the 24-year-old would want reassurance he would be a first choice for the Blues under new boss Xabi Alonso. ~ @TheSunFootball

@doubleunplussed Heat pumps (ACs) are said to be among the most efficient appliances for heating. Why would you call it inefficient

Europeans don't have AC, but Australians don't even have proper heating. When it's cold we use our air conditioners to cool the outside of our houses, and survive on what little waste heat this produces inside. Must be super inefficient but it's all we've got.

@Mrsinha Perhaps the likes of you should have focused on what he was trying to say instead of what his X account said.

It was my mistake to assume that the Vedant kid was a fake handle. It was because the account was newly created, had "South Asia" in the bio, and got good engagement in a very short time. Usually, that only happens when an account is planted. For example, this Cockroch account. Most such accounts are fake. They don't do engagement farming- their intention is to provoke and incite youths.

@shiveshc @smitaprakash Exactly, weird that she chose that as example

@smitaprakash Having a "walk" sign is not a "gotcha" you think it is. It shows 1) they follow rules, 2) pedestrians are respected, 3) their infa is far superior than India. Not like India where life is hell for both cars and pedestrians. Sellouts have sold their logical reasoning as well.

The west loves revolutions in countries other than their own. They support in any which way they can. In their own country they can’t even cross a road without looking at a sign that says ‘walk’

@Paimaamu What’s AI to do with this issue? Did you think web portals did not exist before AI

The CBSE fiasco is exactly what you’d expect when one deploys AI solutions to real world problems without stress-testing the system first. India is not the first country to have messed it up. But certainly, it is the first country to have messed it up at the scale it operates. If I was a student who took these exams, I’d be dreading the future.

@SaturnIsRising @rachelchitra @frontline_india How is this possible? Airlines buy from other airlines or lease all across the world

@rachelchitra @frontline_india Asked Grok if Boeing was supplying Sub Standard planes outside USA & Non Western countries, not surprisingly the answer was a BIG YES As per Htok Boeing did supply sub standardbor/defective planes to several airlines including Air India. Long thread summarised above

1/10 🚨BREAKING ⚡️My @frontline_india story on Air India 171 crash that AAIB Report's relight story is impossible, as per GE engineering. This means AI 171 likely had engine computer FADEC commanding relight, seconds after it cut off fuel under TCMA. As plane had no electrical power left at 10th, 14th second for a crew commanded relight after AAIB's implied fuel cutoff at 08:08:42 UTC; as per GE documents. The story also has exclusive internal correspondence between @airindia and @Boeing; where the airline over the years increasingly gets desperate with recurring issues of escalating seriousness on crash flight VT-ANB (AI 171), including a major fire in Aug 2022, leading to it's grounding in Frankfurt #AirIndia #AirIndiacrash #Boeing787 #AI71 #AI171crash

@blapman007 @anmolm_ Vibecoded apps are surely better than this

@anmolm_ this was fuckin vibecoded i can smell it

jesus fucking christ - basically any marks for the Class 12 CBSE board exams could be edited by anyone???

@cvkrishnan @amargov I suppose it also needs a very high density housing/office to be efficient?

@amargov T&D losses of thermal energy vs than electric energy against bulk production efficiency of thermal energy vs electric power?

Would district cooling work? Plug it with a SMR - cool an entire city by piping it to homes and offices?

@extrasalt1 @jsensarma Sure, it’s not a doomsday scenario. But the new middle class that IT of 2000-2010s birthed, IT doesn’t need nearly as many people with AI. The doomsday scenario is for people behind the bell curve in their companies and for many new graduates that look for jobs

@jsensarma a couple of lazy Indian execs getting a wake up call does not equal the end of an entire industry look at how long microsoft survived while being mediocre

AI super-cycle applied to IT/Software feels like Industrial revolution applied to Textiles. India impacted by both. Posted this casually a few days back, and kept thinking of it. Used AI to flesh out parallels. A 🧵, generated with AI help (warning!), but factual & eerie imo.

@ChipDs27353 @bsdhanoa They also deem warranty to be void if “unsupported “ fuel is used

@bsdhanoa Sir noteworthy that no car manufacturer is presenting evidence that this will destroy vehicles

They will fuck your vehicle engine before coming for you…

@SkyHYD @Hampa_Tuthukudi @Karthik200699 @RiyadhAir @RGIAHyd @MoCA_GoI If airlines see profit with half premium loads and cargo they will fly to that place. All that matters is profitability

Airlines likely have far more insight into yields than you do. HYD is a growing VFR + business market, and the airlines that see potential here will continue to come. Whenever new airlines launch services here, your narrative automatically falls apart. We are not sending flights out with half loads supported only by cargo , these flights are operating with strong passenger volumes. From now on, your account will be blocked. Happy trolling.

✈️ Will HYD host another new international airline this summer? #RiyadhAir is reportedly planning a major India expansion, with Hyderabad among the key cities under consideration this summer instagram.com/p/DYcQV0UDzF3/… #aviation #avgeeks @RiyadhAir #FlyHYD #Hyderabad #Gulf #Riyadh #SaudiArabia

@protosphinx The cope then becomes oh China Diane have democracy, etc

the other indian cope that "oh we have too many people singapore is just 5mn people" is demolished by cities like Hangzhou that have high pop + manufacturing industries + massive green cover like sg

indians ended up shoddily learning urbanism from dubai/middle east. babus park their cash in dubai so they travel there constantly and start importing that aesthetic back home. that’s why even the best parts of delhi/mumbai feel like a low budget copy of the gulf: barren layouts, ugly railings, awkward merges, concrete everywhere. the cope is that indian geo is dry - which is not true. pune, mumbai etc are tropical cities. bangalore, chennai etc can be very neatly designed around green canopy cover like singapore. the four asian tigers sg, hk, korea, taiwan evolved very differently. they learned from the brits in hong kong and from japan. british institutional ethos with japanese absolutism around execution and order. that’s why singapore is green and functional without the endless "oh it rains so we must have bad roads" cope of mumbai. all asian cities are green - kl, jakarta, manila... in a cope free world india would learn from singapore. invite their experts, have them help design better city layouts and hopefully push tech transfer around roads, drainage and urban planning. there's no point coping. learn from the best and build.

@HinduINDNat How much of this was due to red tape? I suspect not much. Tesla wouldn’t have built a factory in India for exports when their other factories aren’t saturated.

Wow! Tesla India Gigafactory dreams totally crashed now! This is one of worst times we live in where its just becoming impossible for any MNC to setup or expand a factory..most of them exited or are in the process..Modi is no mood to get rid of redtape & mind-boggling taxation

@HindooHitler @theBuoyantMan You miss the point about how attractive the money bags from India appears to a European defence company.

@theBuoyantMan because it's cheap and available. If India chooses to stop exporting, they can and will always find alternatives. It's not existential. OTOH, India desperately needs the money from exports to buy critical military tech that is impossible to produce locally.

India is - the largest exporter of generic medicine (> 15% of world supply) - top 3 exporter of rice - among the top 10 exporters of industrial machinery, auto components, mobile phones - top 10 in textiles/apparels (non critical, but essential) - top 20 in sugar exports (not now after export ban)

@ninkozi @RishiJoeSanu IT in India would be far frombeing irrelevant. But the number of people in the industry will precipitously drop. Future AI powered industry won’t need lakhs of software devs

@RishiJoeSanu ROFLMAO!!!!! The Indian IT industry is literally just getting started. Of course, this is just my judgement versus yours, but we'll see in 5 years. Friendly bet for 3 rupees. ;-)

Indian IT is dying anyway. Tamil Nadu with its robust manufacturing base will survive.

@dzl199401 @TeslaFanCN If it saves lives then it’s worth it

@TeslaFanCN 都是一体的，蹭下一个地方就可以全损了 根本修不了。保险是同级车一倍以上

特斯拉Model Y的一体压铸车身硬到离谱！😱 夜间等红灯时，货车上一个巨大水泥墩突然脱落，重重砸在Model Y车头上。如此恐怖的冲击力，Model Y竟然只前盖有些损坏，驾驶舱几乎零变形，A柱B柱依旧坚挺，车身纹丝不动！ 前两天上海也发生类似案例，一辆大货车追尾Model Y，结果货车被直接弹飞，而特斯拉却坚如磐石，女车主事后还直接又买了一台新的。 特斯拉一体压铸车身的安全性，用真实案例再次证明！🚗💪

@Rishii25 @AkashKrishna No, real leaders are those who see through the hype for the potential. Imagine if Infosys had doubled down on their investment then, we would be now talking about how far sighted he was

@AkashKrishna Back in 2017, he was right. AI was a hype and it required another 6 years to prove something. I may say that quantam is hype right now. Same thing won't be true few decades from now. Need to look at things from a timeline perspective.

Narayana Murthy is nothing more than a glorified Program Manager who was at the right place at the right time. Low cost, high volume deliverables kept them afloat for decades. Even the minimum wage in the US two decades ago is significantly higher than what an engineer gets paid at Infosys to this day. The fact that Infosys has remained a sweat shop since its inception with zero softwares brought to the market and transforming into a retirement home of IT coolies whose only aspiration in life is a work trip to the US, speaks about how socialist the Infosys philosophy is, and how low agency and mediocre India’s software developers were for 30 years. How a genius like Sikka ended up at Infosys is quite astounding. Albeit, the early employees gained from hitting the jackpot with the shares enabling thousands of them to become millionaires. And today, we have brilliant minds with high agency, willing to take the risk of innovating and going global with their ideas, while Infosys continues to swim in the cesspool of mediocrity, paying shit salaries, while Murthy and his boomer stock of co founders and executives continue to accumulate insane wealth, while projecting modesty on the outside. Classic champagne socialist behaviour. Modesty is just the facade because they always knew, they never deserved the wealth they accumulated and they wilfully prevented people from taking high stakes risks, because they feared their profit margins would reduce if the company innovated and created the need for investing in talent who wouldn’t settle for the salaries of a fuel station employee. Granted, they employed lakhs of people and lakhs of families went from lower middle class to upper middle class or upper class even. That way even Indian Railways can claim credit for the same reasons. In between all this, we have somehow bred a generation of people who only care about increasing their networth by hook or crook, and not willing to put in the effort and intellectual rigour in building world class products. And we expect to compete with Silicon Valley with a handful of genius entrepreneurs who shunned mediocrity. With the capital Infosys had, they could have easily setup their own Y-Combinator and used the ideas coming out of it to become force multipliers creating an organic ecosystem of innovation labs across the likes of TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro et al, and by now, India would have been on par with the US for technological innovation. But we had Narayana Murthy who thought AI was hyped and rejected the idea to be an early investor in Open AI. And this guy is supposed to be a technology leader. 😂

@akhivae How is it they do in China? Our education is underperforming but I highly doubt it’s due to STEM focus

India's bizarre STEM at all costs policy is one reason why we have one of the most underperforming education systems in Asia.

@HemanNamo @manojzxc @PMOIndia @narendramodi You have the answer right there. China is trying. That means they have researchers and engineers and money at this problem, learning while failing. They are closer to achieving the frontier tech than other licensed users like us. Who is closer to atmanirbharta

The claim of 85% lithography self-sufficiency is misleading propaganda. China’s SMEE tools are in mass production only at 90nm (mature nodes for autos/power chips). Their 28nm DUV is still in trial/verification phase with limited yields—not ready for high-volume advanced chips. Sub-10nm/EUV domestic capability? Not expected before ~2030. A supply chain table showing ‘Chinese players exist’ ≠ tech parity or self-sufficiency. Overall semi equipment localization is ~35%, full chip self-sufficiency ~33% (2024), with heavy reliance on foreign tools for anything cutting-edge. Progress under sanctions is real in mature nodes, but the gap in high-NA EUV/multi-patterning efficiency remains massive. Facts over hype.

Tweet 1/7 China wasted $100 BILLION trying to steal this tech. Failed completely. India got it in ONE MoU — signed while TWO Prime Ministers watched. This ASML-Tata deal is the biggest game-changer of the week for Bharat. Why it’s historic 👇 Thread 🧵🇮🇳

@pranitmalik @gargamit21 @Akshat_World That’s what the text books say, but it’s a bit more nuanced in reality though? India crude oil import bill to drop needs a sustained move to offer energy sources. It’s a long drawn process which bleeds forex until that point is reached

@WebbedRanger @gargamit21 @Akshat_World Not exactly, imports drop as they become more expensive and exports increase as they become more comptetive. It's not great if you lose value but it's worst to defend an underlying weakness by eating up your reserves. unsustainable. Innovation and alternates become viable.

Many are hoping that USD will fall. And, as a result INR will rise. They tag a term called: de-dollarization to justify this. Well, this is dumb. De-dollarization does not mean that USD will fall compared to INR. De-dollarization means: a process where nations, central banks, and global corporations actively reduce their reliance on the USD for international trade, financial transactions, and foreign exchange reserves. Many countries in the past have tried doing this. For eg. Russia, Iran. And, they were cut off from the international economy. De-dollarization seems great in theory. But, it is extremely complicated to practically apply. At one point in time: India started a INR Trade Settlement system. Wherein, Russia would take INR for supplying Oil. After a while, this system was abandoned. Why? because Russia couldn't do much by holding INR. USD is the most liquid currency in the world. Why? because US actively pursues this agenda. Any country that goes against pays the price. The next time: you think that USD is going to collapse. Think again. Strength of the currency doesn't come from free will of different nations. It comes from the brute strength & use-case that aggressor nations create.
