A clerk earning ₹30,000 a month can freeze your ₹50 lakh property file for a year over a missing comma. The lowest-paid person holds the most power over your paperwork, and nobody above him wants that changed. @Grok

Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI just dropped and it’s pretty insane.
Here’s the tldr;
~ OpenAI’s hardware chief Tang Tan (24 years at Apple) told candidates still working at Apple to bring ‘actual parts’ to job interviews. Batteries, logic boards, basically ‘show and tell’
~ Tan used Apple’s secret internal codenames in interviews to pull more information out of candidates
~ OpenAI coached departing Apple employees on how to slip past Apple security on the way out
~ Engineer Chang Liu kept his Apple laptop after quitting, found a bug that still let him into Apple’s cloud storage, and downloaded dozens of confidential files while building OpenAI’s device
~ His message to an ex colleague: “LOL, I found out I can access the network storage, so funny”
~ OpenAI got one of Apple’s suppliers to demo a trade secret metal finishing technique by claiming Apple had approved it
~ Apple contacted OpenAI about all this in February but OpenAI never replied
400+ former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. The device this was allegedly stolen for is supposed to launch this year.
Apple says that OpenAI’s hardware business is rotten to its core.
Sam is trying to IPO into this.

@KantInEastt Football is way too extreme in tropics. Especially when you consider the extreme heat we have.

@av93i No outdoor sport is meant for warmer climates that way

Went down this rabbit hole & learnt something new.
Long before terrazzo became a luxury trend in Europe & US, Indian craftsmen were hand-casting, curing, grinding, & polishing these floors for homes, schools, railway stations, and government buildings.
Process to make them is interesting.
Waste broken marble chips are mixed with cement, cast into place, cured, then ground & polished multiple times until stone beneath comes alive. Every floor ends up with its own unique pattern. No two are ever identical.
Beautiful engineering imo. And sustainable. Terrazzo is making a comeback!
Now, every time I see mosaic flooring, I'll be reminded that India has always had world-class manufacturing hiding in plain sight.

@kushanmitra @MGMotorIn Must have clarified. It’s the interiors. Exterior is fairly cookie cutter.
English

@av93i @MGMotorIn Looks fairly generic IMO, interiors might get an 'India' upgrade given what the segment offers now.

So we are getting the Wuling Starlight 560 PHEV from @MGMotorIn next week. From what I've been reading it will be branded with the 'MG' badge and called the 'Hector Hawk'; a look at Wuling's page gives you an idea of the vehicle and its specs.

@ImtiazMadmood Marco Materazzi could have probably died there. Remember this vividly from back in the day.

His ideas are shaking the foundations of science??
Really?
It is common knowledge in India.
Even I, as a teenager in Germany, read already in the 1960s about the Indian concept of 'Maya'.
Fritjof Capra said it in 1982 in Mumbai.
Strange, that this "sensation" comes in the news every few months.
Why?
The people on top are surely aware of it since long.

CERN Scientist Goes Viral After Exposing the Illusion We Live In Dr. Bernardo Kastrup worked at CERN. He spent years deep inside the world of high-level science and technology. But something didn’t add up. Today, he’s one of the few respected voices claiming that reality is not made of matter — it’s made of mind. According to him, everything we experience is a projection of consciousness, and the physical world is just a mental illusion. His ideas are shaking the foundations of science — and revealing truths many still refuse to accept.

@TheProjectUnity 🤣🤣🤣🤣 as an Indian protesting the woke nonsense it’s cracked me up!

@ARanganathan72 We have absolute simps who will suck up to the top leadership in no unambiguous terms and be yes men all the while. Full obedience and no speaking up. So it doesn’t surprise me they weed out those they think are upsetting the apple cart.

@DiscussingFilm @empiremagazine Christopher Nolan has never chased ratings.
He chases authenticity.
If an R rating is what the story demands, he'll embrace it rather than dilute the experience.

Christopher Nolan says that a R rating was the only way to make ‘THE ODYSSEY’.
“We wanted to make the most intense version… with the weapons of the time, they are more brutal.”
