Seeing things as black or white takes less effort than accepting nuance !

@ShivrattanDhil1 @googlemaps Have you tried @mappls ? I usually test them side by side without google maps and they are surprisingly much better

Google Maps is seriously at its worst now. For a route that’s barely 12 minutes slower, it dragged me off a proper 4-lane highway onto some terrible road . Since I was new to the area, I trusted it and ended up having to shut it down and ask locals just to get back to the highway because it kept rerouting me elsewhere. Honestly, now I just use Google Maps for reference and check the roads myself instead of blindly following it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@gareebscientist I am very proud of you mate. You are doing amazing work for space nerds of India.

One day this shot will have our people inside the capsule. Going to be an incredible day for the country when we manage to pull this off. The engineering to keep a human alive in a capsule that goes to space and back is complex and hope we solve it soon.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

@AgnikulCosmos Also, many congratulations to you all...

@AgnikulCosmos Yo! @AgnikulCosmos Did that sintex tanki at the beginning survive the test ?

Humbled to share that we successfully test fired 3 semi-cryogenic rocket engines simultaneously, as a cluster. All the 3 engines are 3d printed as single pieces of hardware - designed and manufactured in-house at AgniKul Cosmos Rocket Factory - 1. As with all our propulsion systems, these 3 engines are also powered by electric motor driven pumps. This test involved calibrating 6 pumps, 6 motors and tuning 6 speed control algorithms to work together in perfect sync to achieve uniform startup, steady state and shutdown performance across the entire system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such a test has been performed in India with semi cryogenic engines. We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be building world class, original space technology from India, for the world with the support of @isro and @INSPACeIND #Agnibaan #RocketEngineCluster #ElectricPumpFedEngines #Agnilet #SinglePieceEngine #3dprinting #RocketEngineTest #AdditiveManufacturing #Agnikul #AgnikulCosmos #StartupIndia #MakeinIndia #madeinIndiaForTheWorld @srinathr155 @moin_spm @satchakra_iitm @iitmadras @iitmrp @IITMIC @tdbgoi @IndiaDST @ANRFIndia @TIDCO_1965 @startupindia @TheStartupTN @Guidance_TN @startup_mission

@voice_jammu I was shocked yesterday when someone was driving on the foothpath on Apsra road and police was right there... No one gives flying F.

To be honest, Jammu babus & municipalities seem to have no idea what footpaths are meant for Footpaths—or car or 2-wheeler parking zones? Encroachments—Illegal parking—Garbage dumps Everything except space for pedestrians Crores spent in the name of Smart City. Accountability?

भारत में हुए दुनिया के सबसे बड़े AI सम्मेलन ने देशवासियों को गर्व से भर दिया। लेकिन कांग्रेस ने जिस प्रकार इस वैश्विक आयोजन को अपनी गंदी और नंगी राजनीति का अखाड़ा बनाने का प्रयास किया, वो बेहद शर्मनाक है।

No one knows you. No one has a story about who you are. No one is waiting for you to be the person you were yesterday. You're just a stranger in a chair by the window, watching a city that doesn't need anything from you. It's the feeling that anything could happen. That the world is bigger than the walls you built around yourself back home. That the life you've been living is just one version of a life, and there are others, and they're not as far away as you thought. At home, you're fixed. Known. You fit into a shape that other people recognize, and after a while, you forget you're even in a shape at all. But here, alone, somewhere new, the shape dissolves. You could be anyone. You could be more of yourself than you've ever been. No one is watching to see if you stay consistent.

@josephradhik I remember the time when dual sim was called BS idea and as soon as Apple approved, it became a cool and necessary thing to have...

Hahaha, fair enough. This is the current state of mainstream tech knowledge.

Let me try to explain the attached post by Rohan in an easier way to those who may be interested. So, in India, philosophers and linguists have always discussed and debated about sound, words, and meaning. We had this theory called Sphuta (from around Panini times / 2000 years ago) which argued that whole sentences gave rise to instant meanings in our head. For example, "The cow standing there is white in color" instantly creates meaning in our mind of a white cow. Sphuta theory says we do not add the meaning of individual words to make sense. For example, we are not first seeing a random cow, then seeing it standing, then making it white in color as we hear the sentence. Now, this attached post by Rohan is referring to a work by the Vaishanavite saint Ramanuja (1000 years later / ago). Ramanuja argues that words have inherent, timeless meaning. For example, we imagine words to be a social construct. That is, we think a group of people decided to call 'that grass eating animal with four legs of a particular form and giving us milk' as "cow." And then everyone from their community calls it a cow henceforth. But Ramanuja says that's not true. Just like a wood fire gives rise to smoke, which nobody decided (it just occurs naturally), that milk giving animal is just called a "cow" and nobody decided it. He says the word relationship exists naturally without a beginning (at least it only begins with the beginning of your own consciousness). You may think this is ridiculous. But if you take the word cow, it is actually a derivative of word Gau from Sanskrit. And some may say Gau comes from some Indo-European root word Go or something like that. But when did this word originate? Did a group of people sit down and decide that grazing animal is called Go? Ramanuja's theory says, no, none decided. He says the first word (or sound) for that animal we call cow arose in our consciousness by itself and got agreed upon by everyone over time. It doesn't matter it got changed to cow or gau or gai or kho in various languages later. The relationship between the original word and the object always existed. Why is Ramanuja's theory important? This solves for the "divine revelation" of Sanskrit and vedas. Since vedas are supposed to have been heard and not composed by humans, Ramanuja's theory explains how the words / sounds in vedas existed naturally before anyone invented or created them. If you get what I have written above, you will also understand - Why a vedic chant is important to be uttered exactly as heard and passed on for generations - Why it is useless to write down the vedas (as the utterances and complex sounds are impossible to be represented by text) - And why chanting a vedic mantra (like say Gayatri) can "reveal" the meaning of itself and a lot more about the universe to you

I can’t shake the feeling that our perceptions and intuitions can’t grasp what’s really happening right now. We are in an epic contest for existence. We’re peripherally aware of this but are anesthetized to it by normalcy. The rarity and specialness of our conscious existence exceeds our capacity to understand. We’ve inherited all matter of cultural code about how to think about life and death and meaning. I don’t buy any of it. Whether we realize it or not, we are players in a game. It’s our galaxy’s most epic game: sentient intelligence. The board is 100,000 light years in diameter and has a few hundred billion stars. We don’t know, but as far as we can tell, we are the only players on the board right now. There are illusions of peace. Coffee shops are open, markets are moving, politics are loud. The bigness of what’s happening can’t be seen except by careful observers. Even then, our brains are linear and the progress is exponential, blinding the wisest and most sober of seeing what’s actually happening. We need something new to awake us from our hypnosis and work with a vigor that defies even our own understanding.

WTF @IndiGo6E cancelled my flight twice and still it’s not sure that they can fly next one. The way they are messing up plans for everyone is ridiculous.

@awaisahmedna We will be there too as a nation… We all are awesome…

Step by step, ferociously. Glad to see another reusable rocket enter the fray. Need many more. But a good step towards making humanity an interstellar species.

@JeffBezos That is crazy and beautiful 🤩 Congratulations
