This road in AECS layout main road was laid afresh just one day ago. And someone dug it up the very next day. Now the potholes will start again. Why cannot we prevent such things from happening? Who's accountable to get the road back to its good condition? @WFRising @NammaBNP

Peter Girnus 🦅@gothburz·
Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Ancient Greek equivalent of ‘graduate school yearbook’ discovered on stone.... It lists a group of 31 friends who went through the Athenian ephebate together during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) and was intended to commemorate the close relationships they had formed. When they first read of a reference to it, experts thought it might be a copy of a similar list in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, but realised that was not the case when they saw it. AIOLION CHANROTEINOS EUTHYNGOS DORON (gift) ANEIKITOS ATHINON ANTAS TIRIMOS EUTHYLOS SEISMOS KASANDROS (partially visible at the bottom) It is a really interesting inscription, partly because it’s new but also because it gives us new names and a bit of insight into the sort of access or accessibility of this institution which is often associated with elite citizens.” "It's the ancient equivalent of a graduate school year book" Dr Peter Liddel, professor of Greek history and epigraphy at the University of Manchester, who led on the discovery, said: It is not known where the list was displayed but it is thought it could have been put up somewhere such as the gymnasium where the young men trained. “Because of lockdown we were not able to travel to the museum until July 2021, and on seeing it we realised that this was not a copy of an already known inscription but it was a completely unique new discovery which had been in the storerooms of the NMS for a very long time, since the 1880s, and it listed a group of young men who called themselves co-ephebes or co-cadets and friends. “It turned out to be a list of the cadets for one particular year during the period 41-54 AD, the reign of Claudius, and it gives us new names, names we’d never come across before in ancient Greek and it also gives us among earliest evidence for non-citizens taking part in the ephebate in this period. Dr Liddel said: “It was made to create a sense of camaraderie and comradeship among this group of people who had been through a rigorous training programme together and felt like they were part of a cohort. “It’s the ancient equivalent of a graduate school yearbook, although this is one which is created by a number of individuals who wanted to feel like they had come together as friends.” Experts said discovery represents an important new source of information about elite Athenian society in mid-1st Century AD, a period that was crucial for Athens as it adapted to its place under the Roman Empire. The Arts and Humanities Research Council-sponsored Attic Inscriptions in UK Collections is a four-year project, led by Cardiff University with the University of Durham and the University of Manchester. Dr Margaret Maitland, principal curator, Ancient Mediterranean, at NMS, said: “To have the team come and visit and confirm it was something that had never been published before was really thrilling.” Inscriptions from this period are relatively rare, and experts said this makes it all the more striking that the newly discovered ephebic list belongs to the same year and cohort as the inscription at the Ashmolean. #archaeohistories

#TamilNadu government should be very stern on the act of occupying the waterbodies legally or illegally. The canals connecting the sea and the marshy lands such as Pallikaranai should be cleared and even protected from unauthorised occupants. The government machinery should swiftly act on water resource and reservoir management, writes A Louis Arockiaraj SJ, (Principal, Loyola College, #Chennai) for #TNIE series #KeepingHeadAboveWater. @AntoJoseph Read more here: shorturl.at/eB2P1

These issues also contributed to the plethora of resident deaths in the past decade But It has taken a gruesome death of a student to form a task force to address these problems

"Justice for Sy. No.17 lake has been delayed for too long—no more delays. Please join us at 8:30 AM to welcome the lake by offering water and lighting diyas. @CMofKarnataka @OSDKarnataka @Prahalad @siddaramaiah @BbmpEast @BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka. This 65+ year-old lake is losing its identity and is on the verge of vanishing. Join us to form a human fence, something @BBMPCOMM @BDA @Revenue have not done so far. We demand the immediate transfer the custody of this #lake to #BBMP @pgpreeti92 and the dismissal of all lodged cases or issues against it."

Where is the #lake at sy no 17? will construction debris & stones increase the water table? Will #BBMP is meant to send only notices? When will they take action? @Bbmpcares @BBMPCOMM @DKShivakumar @osd_cmkarnataka @osd_cmkarnataka @CMofKarnataka @chairmanbwssb @pgpreeti92

Does arrogance and ego really solve issues? A 290 meters stretch Rajakaluve was constructed on road, yet 10 meters work which can be easily done long ago remained unfinished due to ego and arrogance of #Swd and #bbmp. This stubbornness of officials causing immense suffering to thousands of residents living in open sewage effecting our the ground water, becoming obstacle to school buses, tankers, garbage vans, etc what exactly bbmp and Swd departments trying to prove with such behaviour

Long rant, but worth it, please read & share. A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the "business of alcohol." So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well. But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to "good healthcare intervention," it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly." You know, first of all, it is easy for these rich men and women to glorify their alcohol business and discuss their high flying life, because "God" forbid, if they ever land with diseases related to alcohol - from strokes, to cancers to liver disease to mental health disorder - they can afford the best care out there. I treat alcohol use disorder and related acute liver disease, chronic liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure (the most devastating of them all with highest death rate without a timely liver transplantation) on a daily basis. I am not even saying "almost on a daily basis" - it is daily. Every single day from Monday to Friday - both in-patients, as well as out-patients. Patients and families struggle to make ends meet for proper healthcare because alcohol use destroyed their life savings. And by the time they find the funds to get things going, the patient is already on the ventilator and in multiple organ failure. They use the money to bury the dead person - killed by alcohol (normalized by round-table discussions like these) and the rest of the money, go toward the fatherless childrens education. Nice going? To claim drinking alcohol in moderation is good, is actually a crime. It is a crime towards humanity, it is not in good-faith --> it is in good-faith to run the business yes, because the many people who use it occassionally, move on to frequently, and then get dependent or "routinize" it. These businessmen have nothing to lose - because they have already put up a stupid disclaimer to get away with it - "drink responsibly." So it becomes the drinkers fault. But then is it really? Drinking alcohol is a choice. But drinking more alcohol becomes "not" a choice anymore. The first drink takes your brain. It reduces brain volume, gives you a dopamine kick, makes you happy. And then onwards, you are alcohol's slave. The drinks increase. Or a routine sticks. The alcohol controls your life. You have to drink to stay happy. And then the serotonin (the actual happiness hormone, not the pleasuring one like dopamine) cease to work inside your brain and the mental health disorder that follows will swallow you whole. You die. Your family is brioken. There is no money left. If you are lucky and rich like these people sitting around this table doing this nonsense of a podcast, then you may be able to afford a lifesaving organ transplant or healthcare intervention. There is no safe level of alcohol that is good for human health and every person who claims drinking in moderation is good for you, is actually an idiot, intellectually depleted and without any regard for fellow humans and lack compassion. No amount of alcohol is safe because it is not just a liver poison, it is systemic poison. It gets to every part of your body. Even single to lowest exposure can wreck your DNA and promote cancer formation. There is scientific evidence to this. ✅️who.int/azerbaijan/new…newsroom.uw.edu/news-releases/… Any amount of alcohol can increase your chances of getting at least 7 types of dreadful cancers. ➡️cancer.org/cancer/risk-pr… & ➡️cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/c… It is not just disease causing, but alcohol use is also a societal poison. It drives people into becoming menace to society, takes lives, wrecks havoc in homes and is the real widow-maker. Have you forgotten these so quickly? 🔴The 17-year-old Pune boy, son of a renowned real-estate developer Vishal Agarwal, spent a whooping Rs 48,000 in just 90 minutes in one of the two pubs he visited on Saturday evening where he consumed alcohol with his friends before ramming his Porsche Taycan into a motorcycle, killing two young techies. firstpost.com/india/pune-por… and this one? India’s alcohol deaths are higher than China; per capita consumption is set to rise: WHO deccanherald.com/india/indias-a… And please allow me refresh your memory about this patient of mine. Rich business people can sit around a table and discuss the business of alcohol and the "best alcohol" that they savor and falsely glorify and normalize alcohol use among youth, but end-of-the-line physicians like me have to bear the brunt of their intellectually deficient, a humanism lacking stupid conversations. "The 4th Laddu": Doctor Shares Emotional Post About A Patient Who Touched His Heart x.com/theliverdr/sta… Also banning alcohol has NOT led to economies go into shambles. For example a recent study in the Lancet Regional Health showed that "strict alcohol regulation policies may yield significant population level health benefits for frequent drinkers and many victims of intimate partner violence." thelancet.com/journals/lanse… In fact, "economic savings and health benefits from reduced alcohol consumption may be substantial—particularly in the health sector with reduced alcohol-related disease and injury." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… So please chuck that idea that "banning/ limiting or reducing alcohol sales" actually desroys economies. In fact it improves it because you get a helathier population. See the Nordic Schema: who.int/azerbaijan/new… “A comprehensive ban on alcohol marketing, enforced at the national and local level, is a best practice for reducing alcohol sales and consumption." - which means, podcasts like these, which glorify alcohol use and market it indirectly must also be burned to the ground and held accountable. There is no healthy or safe alcohol. There is no best alcohol. Alcohol is ethanol, which is a systemic and societal poison. Do not glorify it. And this why there is no "responsible drinking," because you cannot advice people to "drink poison responsibly." Podcast discussions like these are helping no one here. Please, do something that actually helps people out here. Do something good for the society, instead of goofing up like this. No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic. Irresponsible. The whole team. For a realistic detailed discussion on alcohol and its effects on the body and why we must avoid it at all costs, please see my deep discussion with Ranveer Allahbadia here: youtube.com/watch?v=mCWZN1… And on that final note, I must confess that the title of podcast series (video below) was perfectly named: WTF.
