The once iconic 'Kingdom of Dreams' in Gurgaon lies in ruins today. Wonder what's the plan to revive this space.

We have to shed this image of manufacturing centers like Ambattur as dusty, grimy, ugly landscapes.

We have to make factories more inviting as well, if we want humans to work in them and feel inspired to do our best.

[Sparsh Agarwal @sparshselim]

India desperately needs more writing on science and technology.

I recently put together some thoughts on stories I would like to see written, after reading @JahnaviPhalkey's Atomic State.

Just finished the factchecking process for an essay on Iranian brickwork that will feature in the November edition of @thebafflermag.

It might be my favorite thing I've ever written.

The essay explores why Iran, a country dealing with so many traumas, is home to the world's most ambitious brick architecture.

Jensen Huang called Anthropic compute chief Tom Brown a "bean counter" and threatened to skip his first dinner with Dario Amodei in May 2022 after Brown showed him a spreadsheet arguing Google's TPUs beat Nvidia's chips dollar for dollar.

At the dinner, Huang kept repeating that Nvidia would build the world's biggest data centre, and Amodei muttered that his behaviour was "kind of Trump-like."

Singapore’s Changi Airport is regularly named the top airport in the world.

Lee Kuan Yew writes in his memoir why he focussed on the airport experience (first impressions) and calls the initial buildout of Changi (opened in 1981) the “best S$1.5 billion investment we ever made.”

Peter Thiel: "Failure is very overrated."

"It's very important to think through, 'Is this a good idea?' You don't want to categorically say that everyone's fantastic."

"There are 20,000 people a year who move to Los Angeles to become movie stars. Maybe 20 of them make it. I wonder whether perhaps some of them could have been told to do something different before they moved there."

"There's probably a Silicon Valley version of this."

"I think the percentage success ratios are higher. There's a lot of different ways people do well in the Silicon Valley ecosystem, but certainly, we never do people a favor by setting them up for failure."
