@zenx @airtelindia SSIDs going invisible sounds like a WiFi router issue. I had reliability issues at home which got fixed when I changed a 10+ year old WiFi router.

Over the last few months, the @airtelindia fiber connection/router at home have just been crazy glitchy. Frequent drops, intermittent slowness, the SSIDs going invisible for a bit. Attempts at seeking help hit various stonewalling measures - "optimized settings/restart".

This video is too painful to watch, and yet we have to burn it into our memories. ‘They had already disarmed him’ is the key fact here. Then they executed him. It’s shameful. No matter what side you’re on, what happened today is unacceptable.

@nikhilnarayanan @AskPerplexity are there other states in India with a state microbe or other states or countries with one ?

Kerala now has a state microbe—Bacillus subtilis. share.google/dHE2EZvtlhHMus…

It still has a way to go for replacing human review for complex products

I continue to be impressed by code review comments Gemini in GitHub PRs. It just keeps getting better. And it’s even free ! I compared it with copilot recently, and with cursor in the past - it did a better than both . What’s working for you?

Later we'll find it hard to believe that masked thugs were dragging people off the street at gunpoint. At least I hope we will, since the other alternative would be to decline into the kind of country where that's normal.

Religion is trillions of $s in business per year! Expecting to see prophet apps and god apps soon. Will make for a great story line as well!

Even if AI progress suddenly halted today (it hasn't and won't), we will still see a decade of extraordinary technological progress as we figure out how to build reliable, useful software out of this incredible new material. The future is bright.

Ever get annoyed by weird fonts when you paste text? I was today years old when I learned you can just use CMD + Shift + V (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + V (Windows) to paste without formatting. Game changer! Sharing in case I’m not the only one late to this party. 😅

@zenx @grok @grok do these studies about sugarcane ethanol blends take into consideration land use change impacts as well?

@zenx @grok does ethanol blended petrol have lower greenhouse gas emissions ? What do studies show ?

This is getting serious. I've switched to XP95 for the bike and scooter, to reduce the damage, but may not always be possible out on the highway. Given the lower FE, all the emissions gains are clearly imaginary, esp when you factor in the material damage and replacement.

Seriously blown away by Moonshot's new Kimi K2 model in @cline. It beats Claude Opus 4 on coding benchmarks and is up to 90% cheaper. It was clearly built to excel at plan -> act, iteratively improve code, and complex tool use instructions all making it the perfect match for how Cline was built. (Almost feels like it was trained for Cline since they have a page on their site about it: #using-kimi-k2-model-in-cline" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/age…) Here's my takeaways from the K2 research papers 🧵

@nikhilnarayanan Well , I might . But not able to place him from this description "doze off , cracks PJs" 😝 . DM me his name ?

@thejasn You remember the chap, right? Used to sit with you guys, Arun Gopi and all and doze off during those History classes, crack PJs and all…

At the NTSE camp in 1996, held in Thrissur, there was this chap in our group—fun guy who we all didn’t assume to be a nerd that he actually was. Went to AIIMS for MBBS when gen merit seats were ~18, studied further & is a big shot Hepatologist. You don’t know him: he’s not on X.

@AravSrinivas @AskPerplexity summarize the replied

Claude Code or Cursor?

You are a person of real principles and spine if both extreme right and left hate you! @paulg is among those very rare online personalities. Most others just go with the flow.
