Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss. As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.

@BerlinFamilyman Whoever is the plaintiff. Mentally fit adults have their own brains and should be ascribed responsibility.

Spoke to 40yo woman in tears, she says she ruined her own family after her divorced sister pushed her to file false DV case against her husband, just to grab ₹90 lakhs. He’s a men’s rights follower & has been fighting it for 3 years. Now she’s crying. Who’s really to blame?

Egypt vs Iran(Seattle) ticket prices are trending down

@nawabasadjutt @VajraK2000 @ChathamHouse Large Indian sectors like Agriculture and IT are not dependent on India bound flights.

Alright and what about the Billions of $$ of loss your Air India is coping with every year? And it's just one Airline, what if Pakistan stops permitting all India-bound flights from using Pakistani airspace?? Your economy would tank and the common person would suffer. But to think that there has to be a common sense that is lacking in Indians.

Water cooperation is not only mutually beneficial for India and Pakistan, but essential. Restoring the Indus Waters Treaty could be a powerful foundation for rebuilding trust.

@Aunindyo2023 It wasn't charity. India is an emerging market, has relatively better relations with the west and doesn't steal IP.

India's middle-class should be grateful to Americans and Canadians who bought insurance, paid college fees, and saved for their retirement. $80-100 bn of their cash entered our ecommerce startups, only to be burnt on discounts to us. They've subsidised our consumption.

IWT is gone. India will not share data, block water whenever needed and build projects over the rivers. Pakistan better concentrate on desalination to secure their future

@MandarSawant184 IWT always existed as part of India's goodwill. Tragically, we learnt it quite late that you can't respond to terror with goodwill. Hopefully, lessons from that experience are baked into our policies henceforth.

这篇 arXiv 的《Dive into Claude Code》，感觉最有用的地方是讲清楚了，其实Claude Code这种系统一旦进入真实环境，工程重点立刻就变的很现实。 Claude Code当然是个 coding agent，会跑 shell、会改文件、会调外部服务。 模型循环本身并不复杂。 文中直接写了Claude Code的核心就是反复调用模型、执行工具、再根据结果继续往下走。 论文里整理得出，真正占分量的是围在外面的那一圈系统设计: 权限控制、审批模式、上下文压缩、插件和 skill 的扩展面、subagent 的委派、会话持久化。 分析结论： 今天决定agent 产品成败的，是“怎么在真实世界里动手”，而非“会不会想”， 很多人谈 agent，还停留在 prompt、loop、planning 这些表层词汇。 Claude Code 这类产品越来越在意的一点却是一旦真的要进项目、进终端、进文件系统，马上就碰到很现实的问题。 文件能不能碰。 命令能不能跑。 风险怎么分级。 用户什么时候该介入。 上下文太长了怎么办。 会话断了怎么接回去。 这些问题不花哨，但恰恰这些才是生产系统的骨架。 文章给 Claude Code 提炼了五个出发点， -人始终保留决策权， -系统要守住安全和隐私， -执行要稳定， -人的能力得要真的放大， -还得慢慢适应不同用户的项目环境和信任关系。 Claude Code 的设计品味清楚得很。就是没有把大量精力放在“用显式状态机把模型一步步管死”这种方向上。 更像是在给一个越来越强的模型准备工作现场，让它有护栏，有工具，有恢复机制也有边界。 还有就是把 context 当成主约束来看。 很多人总觉得上下文管理只是优化项，模型更大一点就好了。 但这篇分析的判断却是：context 根本就是成本、稳定性和任务质量的交叉点。如果带着错的上下文开工，后面会越跑越偏。 所以压缩、筛选、延迟加载也是主工程，不是边角料。 跟OpenClaw对比这一段也挺有意思。 同样一组问题，放在不同产品形态里，答案会完全不同。没有什么谁比谁更先进， CLI 里的 coding agent和一个多通道的 assistant gateway，天然就不会长成一样。 权限边界不同，扩展方式不同，运行时位置不同，整套架构的重心也会变。 所以这篇文章帮助你更确定了一件事，那就是agent architecture 说到底是在设计一套运行秩序。 模型就像发动机。能不能上路，靠的是刹车、方向盘、仪表盘和路权规则。 虽然基于公开源码和公开资料，这篇第三方分析终归不是 Anthropic 自己写的官方架构说明。 拿来理解设计思路，很有价值。 但不能拿来把所有细节都当定论。 Claude Code 这种系统，已经很会替人把事情往前推了。 短期能力放大，这点没什么好怀疑的。 最后留下的问题在于，系统做得越多，人有没有因此理解得更深，沉淀出一些经验，代码库有没有变得更清楚， 随着工具在变强，人是不是也在一起变强， 这些现在离被彻底解决还尚早。 arxiv.org/abs/2604.14228

@aankhonkigoti @MhaskarChief Lol, Indian laws make sure that anything that's part of Streedhan can be claimed by the woman, doesn't matter who bought it.

@MhaskarChief The gold automatically belongs to the wife since it's bought by her parents and there is high probability that the car came in dowry too.

My wife's batchmate's wife ran away with his car and gold when her in-laws were on vacation. He went to bath after coming from work and lost his car. Gold was gone long ago. This is the nearest sherni news I have heard. Will post updates 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t wait for disease. Know your numbers. Most heart attacks, strokes & diabetes are predictable years in advance, if you track the right markers. For Indian adults, these cut-offs matter more than ever: 1. Blood Pressure (BP) Target: <130/80 mmHg Even “borderline” BP in Indians carries higher cardiovascular risk due to earlier vascular aging. 2. Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) <100 mg/dL Indians develop insulin resistance earlier, even at “normal” BMI. 3. HbA1c <5.7% Prediabetes starts silently. By the time glucose rises, damage has already begun. 4. Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) Ideal: <2 Insulin resistance (IR) is not routinely measured, but it is extremely useful in high-risk individuals. IR is a hidden driver of diabetes, fatty liver & PCOS. 5. Waist Circumference (Most important for Indians) Men: <90 cm Women: <80 cm 🔸“Thin outside, fat inside” (TOFI) phenotype is common. 🔸Waist circumference is better than BMI for risk prediction. 6. LDL Cholesterol Target <100 mg/dL (general) <70 mg/dL (high-risk) 🔸Lower is better; there is no “safe high LDL.” 7. HDL Cholesterol>50 mg/dL Low HDL is extremely common in Indians and amplifies risk. 8. Triglycerides (TG)<150 mg/dL High TG is an insulin resistance marker, not just a lipid issue. 9. TG : HDL Ratio<2 🔸TG:HDL ratio is one of the simplest markers of metabolic health. 🔸A ratio of 2 or more is insulin resistance until proven otherwise. 10. hs-CRP (inflammation marker)<2 mg/L Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, not just high cholesterol. 11. ApoB (the underrated one) Target: <80 mg/dL (general) <65 mg/dL (high-risk) ApoB is better than LDL at predicting risk, as it counts actual atherogenic particles. 12. Sleep Duration Optimum: 7–9 hours/night Less sleep is associated with ↑ insulin resistance, ↑ BP, ↑ appetite, ↑ CV risk. ▶️What makes this crucial for Indians? 🔸Higher risk at younger age 🔸More visceral fat at lower BMI 🔸Greater tendency for diabetes & heart disease 🔸Normal-looking person does not mean low risk ▶️If you are above these thresholds, do not panic. Start with exercise, healthy diet, optimum sleep, and consistency. Consult your physician for individual opinion. Dr Sudhir Kumar @hyderabaddoctor (Disclaimer: This is not a medical consultation.

@rohitshinde121 True. Politics is one of the few fields where the buyer campaigns for the seller.

I second this. One of my uncle's was contesting on a BJP ticket and another was contesting on a NCP (SP) ticket in 2024 Vidhan Sabha. Both won their tickets. But my family was campaigning for BOTH of them, even though they were supposedly on opposite sides of the divide.

@rishabhm You can be authoritarian without being a dictator. And democracies worldwide are getting more authoritarian.

Authoritarian dictators don't lose votes in parliament. Just saying...

@ArunKrishnan_ > I once visited a company where they were getting casual labour for ₹8000-₹10,000. This, while we are shelling out >₹17,000. Labor commissioner's office should be able to verify this.

Let me add my ₹1. Manufacturers in the NCR, Noida belt, pay abysmally low salaries. I once visited a company where they were getting casual labour for ₹8000-₹10,000. This, while we are shelling out >₹17,000. I was aghast at how flippantly the owner was talking about it. What about minimum wages? I asked. He simply laughed. I realised the that there was no way companies like ours could compete on price with these guys. What you are seeing now, is possibly a long overdue correction. Having said that, the violence is probably politically motivated.

@Sumo_1973 @deepakgreat @Pivot2Centre Such kind of rhetoric doesn't impact the rich in anyway and only ends up harming middle class folks who are working hard to build the nation. People have every right to choose their school, just like they can choose their clothes. Better ask why govt schools are not run well.

@deepakgreat @Pivot2Centre great point. I wish there were no private schools in this country and all went to the same school to reduce the disparity of knowledge and opportunities ... India needs to pay the price for ignoring Bharat...

I can’t stress this enough 1. Buy a dishwasher. Almost 80% of the utensils can be managed by the dishwasher. Only cooker, and few items require hand wash 2. Buy a Romba. The one with mopping capabilities 3. Buy a dryer along with washer You don’t need a maid. Once you don’t need a maid, your life will be much more flexible- you day won’t revolve around her timings. You can literally automate 70% of the work she does and you can get several hours back. Just hire someone from Urban company to do deep cleaning once a week or 2 weeks.

@Pivot2Centre Ironically, such protests are going to increase the demand for those machines. Auto/cab drivers got similarly disrupted by aggregators and now have to split income with them. That wouldn't have happened had they served patrons cordially.

@ngtijfdrgg @Pivot2Centre Rinse it properly first and make sure dishwasher is maintained.

@Pivot2Centre Lekin bolte hai dishwasher se acchhe se saaf nahi hota especially Indian dishes which involves oil, masala wagerah?

@Sumo_1973 @Pivot2Centre Home services and gig working apps were designed to solve that problem. Doing dishes and cleaning floors is a solved problem. But painting, carpentry, gardening, plumbing, cooking etc. are hard problems and your knowledge compounds over time in these fields.

@Pivot2Centre wow , what a thought process. How do we "remove" these poor people? any thoughts, any app or automated solution to get rid of them?

@dasrebel @thischeena @Goku33638545 @rohitshinde121 For every sepoy in that rebellion, there were 100s who fought on the side of EIC(good pay). Also, that rebellion arose because Britishers trespassed religious beliefs and it would still happen today if the government goes all guns blazing against two major religions in India.

@thischeena @Goku33638545 @rohitshinde121 That what east india company thought before mangal pandey and 1000s such examples , you don't understand history of your own country

So frustrating. When will Indians realize that this just pushes away businesses? Labor protections drive away the very wealth generators that society desperately needs.
