2025 లో చదివిన పుస్తకాల తీగ. Books I read in 2025.

@VeevenV @mdileep మంచి సూచనలు. పాలక నేను కావాలనే పదం పక్కన ఉంచాను. కిందికి స్క్రోల్ చెయ్యనవసరం ఉండకూడదని. కానీ చిన్నదయిందని నాకూ అనిపించింది. మారుస్తాను. మిగతా సూచనలు ఈ వారాంతం చూస్తాను.

@dexterslab @mdileep అక్షరం తెర — దిద్దడానికి తెర అంతా వాడితే మేలు. ఆ దిద్దే పలక పదం విభాగంలో ఉండకూడదు. ఏకగీతగా లేని అక్షరాలు దిద్దేప్పుడు, వేలు లేపగానే, పూర్తయింది అనుకుంటూంది.

ఎన్నాళ్లగానో రూపొందిద్దామనుకున్న తెలుగు అక్షరాలు యాప్ తయారు చెయ్యడం ఇప్పటికి కుదిరింది. వైబ్ కోడ్ చెయ్యబడిన "అక్షరాలు". నాకు తెలిసే చాలా లోపాలున్నాయి. అయినా ప్రయత్నించండి. లోపాలు చెప్పండి. ప్రస్తుతానికి ఆండ్రాయిడ్ మాత్రమే. @VeevenV @mdileep dropbox.com/scl/fi/e4jeyui…

@VeevenV @mdileep అవునవును.

@dexterslab @mdileep బాగుంది! మంచి ప్రయత్నం. చాలా దూరం వెళ్ళాలి. 🙂

@kaizoku156 @sids Thank you. Cartesia by far has been the better one. It's been helpful. I needed it for static files. So, the free tier worked fine.

@dexterslab @sids for telugu there are couple of voices in it, surprisingly the kannada voices worked well for telugu too 😅

Folks, what's the best Text to Speech engine which has APIs to use ? I used Sarvam AI and the output is mid. Eleven labs is better but has not free tier for APIs. Any other options ?

Maybe rather focus on making the product better. It is s**t right now.

@sids Thanks. Will check out. Should have mentioned I wanted it for Telugu.

@dexterslab We have found Cartesia to be good. We’re primarily using for Hindi at the moment, but I’m sure English would be good too.

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR: Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead. He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows. If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

Project Hail Mary was a fun watch. The ending drags a bit, same as the book. Reading the book was a better experience but the movie was decent too.

Superb match by RCB. SRH always remains a batting first team, with bowling as an optional skill. But the match needs a well rounded team. Still love the explosion in the initial overs approach by SRH, but hope they will back up their bowling skills.

Cycling in our cities is a crime.

Is sim binding still necessary if one is not using numbers ? If not great way to work around it.

Kiddo wanted to get started on learning coding. Got her started on vibe coding and she built a book recommendation website. Not a single line of code hand written. Took 30 mins. Her turn to get exposed to how AI is changing our jobs. bookfinder-web-j3hq.onrender.com

అభినందనలు @VeevenV . ఇరవై ఏళ్లు ఒక సర్వీసు నిలబడగలిగిందంటే దాని వాడుక ఎంత సులభతరం చేసారో అర్థమవుతుంది. నిజమయిన మినిమలిస్టు మీరు. మధ్యలో మీరు దీన్ని ఇన్స్క్రిప్టు కోసం ఆపేస్తానన్నప్పుడు, అది జరగదని నాలాంటి ఆర్టీఎస్ వాడుకదారులకు తెలుసు. నాకు ఇప్పటికీ ఇన్స్క్రిప్టు అలవాటు కాలేదు 😀

In a bull market, you feel stupid for having debt and safe instruments. In a bear market, you look like a genius. Reason why you need an asset allocation. Eventually you need to sleep peacefully.

Done and dusted. Well done India to win the world cup. #INDvNZ

Man! how I wish I had unlimited access to premium models in the coding tools. They solve the problem so faster, but they are on ration to use for the big things.

Rapido has ruined the experience of auto booking with its tip option. What used to be a seamless one price booking became a dance at crucial times. Now everyone has the same pathetic model.

Weird on so many levels

I really wish events like these happen when kids don’t have exams. Would love for my kid to experience this. openday.iisc.ac.in
