🚀 Stop memorizing design patterns! Instead, learn to write flexible, extensible code by following good OOP principles – and naturally land on the Strategy Pattern! 🔥 Check out my latest Medium article on how first principles guide great software design:

Traffic has turned our metro cities into giant parking lots with people trapped inside them. In Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai, on average a commuter spends 100 to 168 hours a year stuck in traffic . Not commuting. Just sitting. Every hour lost is an hour India cannot get back. Productivity lost, fuel wasted, air polluted, quality of life damaged. I stood up in Parliament and demanded a National Urban Decongestion Mission for our big metro cities with better public transport, smarter traffic management and a scientific parking policy. We are not stuck in traffic. We are stuck because of it. And if India wants its economy in the fast lane, our cities need to start moving.

@vinodsrinivasan @grok please explain this entire thread in simpler terms using less financial jargon terms.

The last time gold sold off hard during a geopolitical crisis, liquidated by leveraged funds in a broad risk-off move… what did it do in the following 90 days? Follow. You already know I will show you the data.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😁🙏🏼🫶🏼🫵🏼

Gold just dropped 5% in a single day. Silver down 10%. Mining stocks down 8 to 12%. Before you panic, understand what is actually happening here.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

I am fully convinced that 2019 was the last normal year we ever had. Ever since then, it feels like everything’s broken. Everyone is constantly anxious, time moves too fast, and nothing actually feels real anymore. The world as we knew it is just gone

@pubity @grok verify this news

> Paid 30% income tax on salary > Paid 50% tax on Skoda SUV > Paid 18% GST on insurance > Paid up to 60% tax on fuel After paying > get injured by unexpected metro slab falling from sky > remain immobile for 6 months > pay medical bills of ₹20 lakh > Lose your Job 🤡

Indian stock exchanges are closed today for Mumbai's municipal elections. The fact that our exchanges, which have international linkages, are shut down for a local municipal election shows poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects. As Munger said: "Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome." The holiday exists because no one who matters has any incentive to oppose the market holiday. It also tells you how far we have to go before global investors take us seriously.

@Notjustheadline @grok is this frat true and is India the only country to achieve this capability?

🚨India Achieves What Even the U.S. Could Not: A 12 Minute Historic Hypersonic Breakthrough 🇮🇳 In a decisive technological leap, India has achieved something NO other country has publicly demonstrated so far, including United States. The Hyderabad-based Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has successfully run a full-scale scramjet combustor for 12 continuous minutes, the most complex and elusive challenge in hypersonic cruise missile development. Scramjet engines require sustained supersonic combustion, where fuel must burn while air rushes through the engine at several times the speed of sound. This is widely regarded as the single hardest problem in hypersonic technology. Despite decades of research by the United States and France, no nation has publicly shown a long-duration, operationally relevant scramjet combustion test at this level. India has now crossed that barrier. This achievement effectively clears the biggest technological roadblock to a hypersonic cruise missile, a weapon that flies at Mach 5+ (five times the speed of sound, approximately 6,100 km/h), at low altitude, remains highly maneuverable, and is capable of defeating all known air-defence systems. With the engine challenge cracked, India moves into flight integration, trials, and prototyping. Strategically, this is not just a test success, it is India’s entry into the rarest tier of future warfare technology, achieved ahead of even the world’s most advanced military powers.

@lucknow_index @grok can you tell which area is exactly allocated for the AI city near airport in Lucknow?

Infosys shows interest for upcoming AI City Project in Lucknow 🔥 Infosys delegation met with the UP Govt, Invest UP & IIDC officials on 4th Nov. 🔵AI City is planned at 70 Acres of Vacant Land near Lucknow Airport at Amausi. 🔵 Central Govt allocated ₹10732 for the project

@lucknow_index @grok what is the proposed route for this vigyan path and does it cross around the current kanpur lucknow highway. Also when is the expected project start and end date?

250-kilometer-long, six-lane "Vigyan Path" around Lucknow will become the foundation base for Lucknow - SCR 🔥 This ambitious project will directly connect Lucknow with Hardoi, Sitapur, Barabanki, Rae Bareli, and Unnao. LDA has integrated this Plan to SCR Masterplan.

🚨 All stray dogs in Delhi NCR to be moved to shelters, want the city to be free of stray dogs - Supreme Court. SC says no room for sentiments to animal rights activists.

@grok @DerekJGrossman @grok then which massive pakistan oil reserves does Trump talk about building? And also is the news of India discovering massive oil reserves near Andaman is true and verified?

Pakistan's claimed "massive" oil reserves are largely unproven potential, based on 2024 seismic surveys in the Offshore Indus Basin (territorial waters). Estimated as possibly world’s 4th largest, but no drilling confirms recoverability; needs $5B+ investment. Proven reserves: ~500M barrels. Recent smaller discoveries: 2025 in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. India's proven reserves: 4.6B barrels.

Ok, now India will be really pissed off. Trump half-jokingly says Pakistan might sell India oil after Washington helps Islamabad to develop its oil fields. 🙄

230k GPUs, including 30k GB200s, are operational for training Grok @xAI in a single supercluster called Colossus 1 (inference is done by our cloud providers). At Colossus 2, the first batch of 550k GB200s & GB300s, also for training, start going online in a few weeks. As Jensen Huang has stated, @xAI is unmatched in speed. It’s not even close.

@elonmusk @xai @grok can you please list the gpu clusters size of all major Ai/tech companies google, meta, openai, anthropic etc. Also I want to specifically compare the openai stargate, xai colossus and meta's superintelligence lab.

@lucknow_updates @grok what is the green corridor project in Lucknow, UP, india mentioned above

Green Corridor Project Lucknow - Construction Being Done on Full Speed 🔥 Target is to complete the Phase 2 by End of the Year. Project Cost inclusive of all Phases - Rs 7000 CR

@lucknow_updates @grok what are the ultra modern features of the above mentioned expressway?

Lucknow - Kanpur Super Expressway is in the last stages of its construction 😍 This Ultra Modern National Expressway - 6, will transform the travel experience between these 2 cities to the next level. A game changer for the economy of the region.
