@PointsLoyalty how incompetent are you guys that it's been more that 10 days and still no update on the @MarriottBonvoy points I bought from you but used the wrong email? Can't wait for a competent startup to disrupt you.

Beijing had an AQI reading of 700+ in 2013.

It was called an 'airpocalypse'.

Schools were shut down. Flights were cancelled. Highways were closed. Hospitals overflowed. It was international embarrassment as foreign embassies issued health warnings and called Beijing “unlivable.”

But China didn't have a chalta hai attitude.

$100 billion were set aside and an anti-pollution strategy was put in place.

They banned coal in homes, shut 2500 factories, moved heavy industry out of Beijing.

Phased out old vehicles, limited car ownership, introduced electric buses.

Built ring roads lined with trees, cracked down on construction dust, and invested billions in clean energy.

Beijing's AQI in 2025 hovers between 30 to 50.

From 700 to 50 in 10 years.

It can be done. If China can do it, so can India.

All it requires is a national will and the ability to take tough decisions and execute. Do what needs to be done.

Treat it like a year-long crisis, not a seasonal nuisance.

No amount of development and prosperity is worth it, if our children can't breathe clean air in cities.

It must be priority number 1, priority number 2, and priority number 10.

@grok help me explain why "Statistical methods are inadequate to model human health, doctors should just just go with their gut instead" is all kinds of wrong

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

To understand why medicine is so complex, let's make a crude simplifying assumption that there are only 100 biomarkers that are important (in reality there are vastly more). Let's also crudely assume each market is allowed only two values. That gives us 2^100 possibilities, which is about 10^30. That is vastly more than humans that ever lived. And this is with the extremely over-simplified model. We face a practical infinity of possibilities.

In reality, no two patients are ever really alike. No statistical model can give you very high confidence on how to treat. That is why AI can never treat patients, because human doctors exercise something called "clinical judgment".

That judgment is what enables a doctor to tell us "this is not a serious issue, get good sleep" vs "this definitely needs deeper investigation". That judgment is hard. Often they cannot even explain why they arrived at this but great doctors have that intuition. The entire Big Medicine is about systematically dismantling clinical judgment and convert doctors to mere "protocol pushers". Great doctors resist this.

Now on top of the measurable biomarkers, there is the unmeasurable factor called "mental state". Every good doctor knows a positive mental state in a patient leads to far better clinical outcomes. That is why good doctors practise compassionate medicine, not just numbers based medicine. I know an outstanding skin doctor in Chennai who prescribed me medicine for my very-itchy Eczema that I had endured for months, and he also told me "try to avoid stress and it may go away, and you may not even need the medicines I prescribed". I consciously reduced my stress level and the problem went away without medicine. That is a truly great doctor.

What does it have to do with autism-vaccine connection? As my crude numerical analysis showed, we have the problem of N=1 way too often in medicine and that is even more true for autism where each kid is truly unique, and that is why statistics are mostly useless and clinical judgment is mostly all we have. We cannot have broad sweeping mandates, definitely not broad vaccine mandates. Each doctor has to exercise their judgment with their patient. And they have to listen to the patient concerns first.

What Big Medicine is about is to try to reduce medicine to be a pure statistical science and it is not. Conditions like autism do not fit that paradigm at all.

That is the battle here. At its core it is not just an autism battle, it is a philosophy of medicine battle.

I pledge to keep fighting this fight because I nearly wanted to commit suicide at one one point in my life. Just this morning, a depressed parent approached me for advice and that started my X thread today.

I urge intelligent doctors to debate this philosophy of medicine issue. I will not respond to the arrogant "stay in your lane" types.

It seems silly, but it’s one way we experiment with new tech. We call it “unserious exploration”.

Tender Care nanny service in Hyderabad is a scam. The worst part is that they scam the poor nanny, not the client like the other scammy nanny services. So they’re recommended by many corporate teams to recently relocated employees.

I've heard kr̥si used in குமரித்தமிழ்

@btbytes Tamil is mostly similar to Kannada, though some of these loanwords are not very common in Tamil. Can't say I've ever seen kr̥si, only விவசாயி.

Dear @Airtel_Presence repeatedly sending me the same template email is not solving my problem. But I guess it's better than asking me to DM and then not responding to my messages.

I've made this quip many times IRL, but India's most important export is Indians

[Alessandro Palombo @thealepalombo]

The hidden truth about India's brain drain?

It's not just about loss, but transformation.

Sometimes the biggest exports aren't products.

They're people who change the world.

This is the new “oil” that nations will compete for.
