A day in the life of men and women in India, inspired by FlowingData: flowingdata.com/2025/11/04/spe…. Data: National time-use survey. #AuratonKaKaam #AuratonKaAaram #WomenAtLeisure #Dataviz

🚅One true 350kmph-coded HSR (not that 160kmph weak sauce) is needed in Kerala along the length of the state. Stations every 40-50kms. 🌇Make it the single biggest unified urban agglomeration in the world.

31st amendment was also ratified by states.

Another clarification: Ratification by states is required for a constitutional amendment relating to #delimitation. The 84th Amendment (2002 freeze) was ratified by the states.

Clarification: A 2/3rd majority for a Constitutional Amendment does not mean 363 out of 543 LS members. It means a 2/3rd majority among the members present and voting. Imagine a scenario where only 430 attend the session. The bill needs the approval of 287 people (2/3 of 430).

A thousand curses on whoever introduced pods to Indian city planners and municipal councils

@puram_politics We launched mlatrack.com in February this year. It focuses on the interventions made in the legislature. thehindu.com/elections/kera…

I just finished writing a piece on what an MLA should and should not do. Hoping to see it published soon enough so that people have a chance to read before the elections.

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

In a big new update, the city officials website now includes data for Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Pune 🕵🏻‍♂️ There's also many small new features like a share button, satellite view and more Enjoy responsibly - cityofficials.bengawalk.com

This is why ethics needs to be a required class in computer science programs.

The second of my short pieces from new qualitative research on 'The Politics of Tax' funded by a British Academy-Leverhulme Senior Fellowship. What role does religion play in shaping tax sensibility? @BritishAcademy_ @LeverhulmeTrust @LSEpublicevents @thetribunechd

This six-figure capacity stadium contest between state associations is rather unsettling, especially in a future where bilaterals will inevitably decline. If franchise cricket is the future (as Arun Singh Dhumal believes), let IPL owners build, operate and monetise these stadia

A 95% drop in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz – from around 130 ships a day to just 6 in March. One of the world’s key energy corridors is nearly closed, amplifying strain across global trade, living costs and financial markets. @UNCTAD analysis: ow.ly/h6Jk50YC0Yo

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
